I believe in the region of 600-800 K (correct me if i'm wrong) + £250 k set aside for trading

The fact that an 18 k trade can change the market cap by 18 % says it all. 18 k to some people is of course a lot of money but to others its peanuts. This must be one of the easiest shares of the market to influence. An 18 K trade on a ftse 100 or ftse 250 company would have very little if any impact. The thing is its word the other way too - once news arrives and buying volume increase this will move upwards very quickly indeed from the low level which presents an excellent buying opportunity. Even without good lithium grades think IGS - about to generate good profits and 29% of it is probably worth considerably more than BNRs current market cap on its own.

With such low volumes and low market cap its very easy for relatively small investors to manipulate the share price i.e. sell a tranche of shares, create some anxiety so that other small investors sell - then buy back in when the price has dropped. Matthew West has already demonstrated that with this share

Stoned a genius investor ? Who knows. Its true to say though he does a lot of research and contributes to this board more than anybody else does

Telprint the problem you are blaming BNR for your mis-fortune in the timing of your trades. We all make trading mistakes - but is that the fault of the company being traded or the mis-judgement of the trader ? My view is to buy BNR about now - I hope i'm right, but if i'm wrong it would in turn be wrong of me to blame BNR.

Telprint people on this forum believe you lost money, what is not accepted is that you attribute this to be the fault of BNR because BNR behaves in an unusual or unfair way. All AIM stocks go up and down like a yoyo - its up to you to time your trades in a profitable way.

If BNR is the most volatile share you have ever bought you wouldn't be an experienced AIM investor ! Its really quite stable compared with most.

The presentations will come no need to be anxious about that

One of my other shares increased 193 % within an hour last Monday on no news whatsoever, just the hope of a good set of final year results which still haven't arrived. I feel much more confident with BNR so have put all those profits into this, which is sure to rise rapidly at some point for all the reasons most people on this BB expect it to.

Yes thats true, if all were bought through IG that would certainly be the case. My buy this morning was listed as a sell and all the other trade prices have matched the offer price not the bid.

Just did another small top-up, buy low and all that

Short sellers re-buying their shares, less competition from BHS perhaps ?

Me too GLA, it has to rebound at some point, surley the shorters have to cover soon !

Hello this is my first post. I bought into MTC for the first time at 145. The extent of the recent price fall has been very surprising. MTCs UK business is continuing to improve, the much larger international part is continuing to profit albeit a bit less - I read from 32 m down to about 25 M. How does this justify a price drop of around 33 % in a matter of days. Could it be short sellers - yet to close their positions ? If that is the case, when they do would this not send the SP back up ?
