Let me get this straight - investors are filtering out anyone with a critical view of the management of a company whose share price has fallen from 10p to 4p (actually it's from about 30p, but we will ignore that)? Why listen to others when you KNOW that you are always right.

AAOG is probably worth a punt now - the problem is, the diehards were adamant it eas worth a punt from 30p to 10p and would not listen to othets who suggested otherwise.

You never know if an exploration company is going to explode upwards or to simply implode , but I just watched the February Capetown presentation (can't link in ) and it looks impressive. Now wondering why I didn't buy more when it was below 4p. I don't usually like averaging up, especially on an exploratory mining or O&G company (it's all a lottery......), but might make an exception here.

Where is our resident ramper Cuddothisnow, or whatever he's called (no woman could be so daft)? Busy deleting all his prior posts? Did the same on STAF - now this.

This really looks like a classic AIM recovery share - series of stupid mistakes by management but core business still reasonable; ENORMOUS fall in price; with/and large share dilution. If management cannot bring about a doubling of the current SP in one year, they are a bunch of plonkers. On the other hand, if they ARE a BoP they certainly aren't alone on AIM. Anyway I am happy to hold for a year and see where we are.

Appears to be following BAT's trajectory which dipped steadily to 25 and rose back to 30.

As LTHs know, this share goes uo, then down, then up etc etc. I see some investors saying they will sit and hold for years. Even those with the most positive views on the company can make a lot more off this (non dividend paying) share by simply trading, say, 30% of their holding on a regular basis based on the troughs and peaks. You don't need hit the bottom of the trough or the top of the peak - just make frequent small profits. Seems obvious, but also seems a lot of holders dont do it.

Just my 2 bits on the share.

If anyone follows US/ Canadian markets they will know that silver miners there are going tru the roof ATM. REALLY bad timing by FRES for a poor report - not only not partaking in the enormous rally but actually fallng 10%. Timing is everything.

Given the share was 10p a few short weeks ago (and 'about to triple'.....), it is beyond belief that people are now getting excited about funding at 5.2p. Optimism can be good in the right context but goldfish memories are not......On the basis of what the company previously said/promised, 5.2p is a kick in the teeth for holders.

Hopefully you got it right this time, but TBH I'm not sure IMB is a trading share (unless happy wih small % increases) - more of a buy and hold. I'd just sit back and wait on this one....

Given we are in a market where drillers are screaming for work and good reputable compamies are willing to accept absymal day rates just to keep active, it is fitting of AAOG to choose the one driller seemingly unable to perform even basic duties.

I think AAOG has already won the Joke of the Year award on AIM. And yet, even now, some diehard rampers continue to try and spread the Gospel According to David.

CB,

Perhaps - but that's to £4/5 not £12.50. So on what basis did the market previously come up with £12.50?

I see where this is now and how it got there, but can any LTH indicate why anyone ever thought this was worth £12.50 a share? The past figures do not justify such a valuation.

SAS,

The problem with these free boards is that they give an almost unrestricted mouthpiece to rampers to write any rubbish they want - see the recent AAOG thread (was to rise from 10p to 30p per the rampers - fell to 4p instead.....) or SOU. I tend to give credance to posters with a more critical view of the company in question.

That's me financing my daily drug habit.

Why is every poster with a critical view of the company still called a 'troll' while the (hugely inaccurate and unsuccessful) rampers refer to themselves as 'true investors'? Always the same on LSE. Perhaps those with a critical view are true investors who realised a long time ago what management is (in) capable of, but decided to hang on anyway to see if a leopard can change his spots. Apparently not.

H2,

The share went from 6p to 24p so if you had bought at 6p you made a killing, and if you bought high, you recovered a lot of your loss - it was your choice to hold or sell. Now they are raising funds at 15p, which is a lot better than raising at 6p.

I think you are being way too negative - a 300% rise, albeit from a very low base, is phenominal, even for AIM.

Revaluing the NAV on a daily basis is daft. They still don't get that investors' concerns are now primarily with management (and mis-management)?

So, well done. IF the share price doubles from here, you almost get back what you put in. Worth the 300 posts (from various people - most now gone from the board) pumping the share?

Oh I know, let's double down yet again, so increasing exposure to a level where the share now makes up about 40% of total portfolio. Clever - I suggest rampers have a look at the SOU BB.

As the share price approaches 4p WHY are posters still ramping this share? Idiots.

10p to 6p instead of the 'promised' 30p yet the rampers refuse to admit just how wrong they have been and continue with their pointless speculation on what 'might happen' (pretending a management team exists that is even marginally reliable or investor friendly). How many naive investors did they induce to buy at 10p with their continual ramping of a price explosion. Shameless.
