Is this a charity site or is it a trading platform
I do get confused at times. You see I thought traders/investors/punters all have a choice. We look at the fundamentals, technicals or simply price momentum of a company and make an investment decision. This decision could be to go long, go short or simply abstain - believe it or not abstain is an actual decision
Now this share page discussion like many on LSE is full off saints and scholars who daily tell me why I shouldn't buy a share and why I should call for the head of the CEO. What it doesn't tell me however is why they have taken the position of "Sheriff" of AIM. Why do they spend days incessantly "protecting" investors from themselves.
I have asked the question a few times today and have yet to receive an answer. This morning I took a few to task (Working on my own when the board was quiet). I called a momentum swing on the price - (as I did with GDR last week based on the new variant and the uncertainties around it) and low and behold others took the opportunity. Did I sell today on this so called pump and dump - No - I bought twice more on the re-trace - Why- because I still believe momentum has finally shifted to the upside.
Many obviously did trade the move and fair play to them for the quick 10-20% scalp - that's why we are all here. If we are not here to make money - why are we here
Again the question to the pious patrol who constantly remind us multiple times a day of how this share is spawn of the devil, why, if it is so septic do you fill your days de-ramping it.
Each to their own if you are trading it short - or indeed if you are working in concert with market makers -if you are neither and simply just don't like seeing others make money then that's ok too.
Someone ask me earlier about another stock - across the whole of AIM this accumulation on behalf of interested groups is going on daily. The UK market is on the cusp of a decent breakout and US investors (where valuations are massively stretched) will be looking to pick up assets in the Europe and the UK. Look at the amount of M&A activity already in 2021. Whilst the majority of AIM stocks wont see this M&A, they will see a renewed liquidity boost in 2022. Micro Cap and Small cap Funds are steadily growing and I am sure the fund managers have tasked the market makers to accumulate stock in the back-ground in many stocks. Your choice is either to gift these market makers your stock at a discount or sit on your stock and await the inevitable pick up.
Best to Buy Shares and not operate on leverage - you have the time to stay in the game
