I am inclined to agree that TA seems to work less well on AIM than pretty much all the other global main market indices, but the pattern here I alluded to looks quite pronounced to me.

We shall see if it plays out (or not) - but it is neither here nor there for me with my current allocation.

Although I will take a view if we hit a particular price on no further specific news. GLA.

Maybe. It feels like liquidity issues might be bubbling away again, but who knows really.

And whether or not it can be easily navigated, if it is indeed bubbling away again, is another matter altogether.

IMO the music is still playing right now. So I am still buying. Without complacency, all the same. GLA.

Good :) They have an awful lot of ground to make up and reputations to repair, but hopefully PMI have done some extensive DD and have got this one right.

It is pretty much now, or never, for this name, IMO.

They might even get away with seemingly having achieved basically nothing on all the other assets, if the geopolitical stuff plays out.

12 months maximum to find out I think. GLA.

I would probably take a few more at 8p (subject to the usual) but a hold for me at the current price.

I am not sure if enough of the flippers have cleared out yet. But IMO the chart looks good and I am pretty relaxed at the time of print. GLA.

At the risk of sounding like a pumper, can anyone else see the potential for a fairly decent cup and handle on the chart?

From late December 2023 to now. GLA.

UK guilts are not helping. Entirely the fault of the BoE and the uniparty. Not that most people would understand that.

But if they can kick the can down the road again, as in fairness they have done for a few years now, then this could be an index-wide buy the dip opportunity. Again.

IMO, things should be a lot clearer on this front, for good or for bad, in the next few weeks or so.

It works until it does not, of course, but while I am a long way off going all in, I am also not holding back from taking a few nibbles here and there in a few names. Got a number of buy orders in the pipes as well.

We need a break above the 50 DMA before I consider taking more here (or a big drop on no news). Otherwise, it looks like I will be sitting on my hands until the next update. Which is fine too. I am in no rush, subject to the obvious stuff. GLA.

Agree. I never like seeing senior BOD members departing so close to results, although it is not like an immediate departure. So, while I am neutral/bearish on the upcoming numbers, I remain sufficiently optimistic in the future potential, to continue to hold the fairly small allocation I currently have.

And will take a view on the next update. GLA.

What do they all have in common?

They do not work in the interests of the country, or for the UK people. Some might have concluded.

Whether or not you decide that the long, long list of inexplicable decisions and policies over the years were the result of stupidity or something more underhand, either way, the result has been the same for 99% of us.

But we can only do the best that we can with the cards that we are dealt. I have set another small buy order here, but not going to chase it. US is closed today, but tomorrow, and certainly next week, could be interesting. GLA.

The UK can change course. But I think we are going to have to endure at least another year or two of the continuity clown show.

Hence why I am being far more cautious with UK names than that of some across the Pond.

Well managed UK outfits will survive this period and should go onto thrive (with less competition) in the medium term. But IMO things will get worse before they get better. Hence no great rush and certainly not a time to go all in, in my strong opinion. GLA.

In a less bearish market, I reckon we would be up considerably more than we are. Even so, I think this has more to run in the short term. GLA.

I am inclined to agree. Hence why I have been slowly building a position in DG across the Pond.

Might be a slow burner (certainly in comparison to how quickly people on average buy and sell stocks these days) but that is why I have kept this one on my radar for quite some time.

If I was already a holder, I would not be too worried (well, depending on what my average was, I guess) - but time will tell.

I set a speculative buy order this morning after seeing the CFO news. Quite entertaining how the market, if anything, seems indifferent to this. Miles off getting more at that price, so just the same allocation that I had before.

Maybe the new hire has offset any negative sentiment about the CFO that might have otherwise arisen?

Or maybe at low 30's we are just so bombed out, that perhaps we can finally consider a bottom to be in? Famous last words no doubt, lol. GLA.

Been busy this morning, so missed the action. Wow. Brutal market right now.

I stand by my original pre-market comment, but JG and others pointed out some of the issues that have probably contributed to this drop.

I have set some buy orders in case I get the chance to rejoin this name, but am being greedy (perhaps too greedy!) simply because I think there are quite a few quality outfits that are on sale right now...but further sales feel like they are ahead of us. If I miss the boat, so be it and GLA in the meantime.

Looks like very good results to me. Well done holders.

Oh, I am sure that some posters do the opposite of the narrative they preach. It crossed my mind a while ago if this might be the case with the two obvious candidates here (repetitive ramper and de-ramper). CBA to check their posting histories though :)

But ultimately it does not matter and nothing anyone says on these chat boards should influence people's investment decisions.

And these platforms get very boring, very quickly when they become echo chambers.

I am probably in the minority, but I actually welcome hearing a bear thesis on a stock I am long, or planning on initiating a long position in. Does not change the fact that the buck stops with each of us when it comes to making decisions that generate, or reduce, our individual stock market finances.

Anyway, not long to find out if today is going to be another lively day in the markets, or if buy the dippers are going to keep the show on the road. GLA.

After hours. Saba Capital Management. The total declared short interest now stands at 1.10%. GLA.

And anyway, better to risk setting fire to your own cash, than leaving it for the commies to do it for you. After they have taken their cut.

Only joking of course. It is nice to live in a country with free speech, and no risk of political imprisonment for a bit of jesting...

Small amounts, primarily using funds from profits taken elsewhere. It has been a good 12 months or so - but I know better than to risk offending the stock market Gods - so no complacency at all :)

But I will increase the size of purchases when we see fear in the markets. Not there yet. Maybe at some point in the next six months or so? Maybe later.

But, having called 10 of the last 3 recessions, I just try and put macro events and opinions aside, and attempt to buy and sell when it feels wrong to do so.

And try to keep learning. Along with as much dry powder as possible, while markets are as elevated as they currently are.

I can never understand why most of the posters on these chat boards who are proclaimed shorters write in such an uncouth fashion. jaknife on the other platform is a rare exception to this rule. And one of the few who gives compelling reasons and evidence for his various short thesis opinions.

Anyway, perhaps both longs and shorts will profit here sooner or later?

Just do not forget to take profits on your short, because after that H&S completes (assuming it does of course), then I would not rule out a fairly good bounce at that point.

Notwithstanding the outside shot of a bid from out of the blue popping up :) GLA - bulls and bears.

If I knew the answer to that question, I would be able to buy a small nation state. Or at least a bunch of politicians, lol.

I have never really had a good read/feel for this one, but theoretically, 154p-ish looks like an area that might get a bounce. Then 147p-ish. Technicals, not fundamentals. Which might not play out, of course.

Continuing with my attempts to read the tea leaves (!), tomorrow might see a return to 165p or so, but I do not think the bottom is anywhere near in, sorry.

As for the price action today: Nothing company-specific IMO. Simply following the wider markets down, due to a lot of institutional selling, most likely.

No idea about whether or not there are factory closures and redundancies in the pipeline here or this sector more generally.

I would be fairly staggered if this was not going to happen, but I thought the wheels would have already fallen off the stock market before now, so what do I know? ATB mate.
