Very happy to have added late on to the trading volume. And even Mrs M punted her monthly housekeeping allowance - no greater endorsement could be wished for. My original 37p stake draws nearer to profitability too so no worries as my grandchildren and H.L., Waitrose, nice barmaid at the local et al keep assuring me. Onwards and upwards going forward. GLALTHs

Esduk: I add my best wishes to those of Sticks. Looking forward now to retrieving my initial stake at 37p when as I have previously remarked there was a mine somewhere in Malawi and a magnet making factory in Birmingham. The sp shenanigans over the years - this being AIM - would have seen me out several times and certainly not back in but for some well researched, erudite and sensible contributions from you and others on this BB. Even Mrs M was persuaded to take a small punt recently - no mean feat that I assure you! - and hopefully will soon be able to herself fund the cases of Prosecco. It has been a fascinating story which continues.......ATVB

Big seller just used his last £51..............GLA

"Delayed publication of trades is starting to hurt trading in MKA. Investors have no idea of price or volume either until hours after a large trade occurs, or after the market closes, or in some cases days later. Makes it tough to buy when most of the volume of trading in this equity is happening under a cloak of secrecy ."

Just found this in my notes on MKA from 2021! Plus ca change!

Don't know if your records go that far back esduk but thank you for your recent buy/sell analysis. ATB

"Next leg higher" - just love it! : more chance of Mrs M doing the splits or me getting my leg over! And as for "news imminent" - I will be corrected - but first heard that c 2010 or just before IMM lost to the Placebo First Team. But would not wish to spoil the Gen Z hopes - one is only young and enthusiastic once in a generation which all CEOs on AIM know only too well hence the proliferation of "novel insights" : C21 speak for "I have a dream". But a double dose might kill or cure so bottoms up with those who back the "cure". ATBALTHs

My thought entirely SG. And been waiting since lunch for the big sells to appear to round off Poets' Day. We might have hit the bottom with a 0.00% change at a Friday close but now need to convince Mrs M that that is the end of the beginning. The ride from 6p to 17p gave her a thrill that she was hoping to repeat, but fails to understand the market is only human and quickly runs out of steam, especially AIM. ATBALTHs

Soaring! Someone perhaps had another "novel insight"; but most punters know their fairy tales about Emperors in new clothes and little boys who keep shouting fire so the reaction rather more muted. This punter will not be persuaded until Tigga and GG confirm with a picture of a rocket ship that Big Pharma has outbid all the contenders scrabbling to shake the hand of the CEO. It certainly makes for a more entertaining BB. It had got very quiet and boring. ATBALTHs - this could be the one that proves that for the last 10 years or so we have just been miserable doubters, so cheer up. With a double dose and carefully chosen patience (sic) it could be Lupuzor 1- Placebo 0 so 1-1 on aggregate and all to play for.

Dead right bonker! Another day with a green portfolio with one exception - the one for which there seem to be the highest hopes. Makes no sense to me but if what we are told is true the big players must surely just be collecting the petty cash together now most of the preliminaries are through. Someone must surely be interested if they really are making magnets from scrap in Birmingham and an RE mine is up for grabs. But I am a simple man............. ATB

Jen, with respect, your post is a little too rational for AIM. CEOs of lifestyle companies find "novel insights" (what in everyday parlance would be lies) to be most lucrative as in our last example here. The length of the nose correlates with the size of the bank balance and the expense account to fund deep and meaningful "conferences" and "talks" about deals. We have all fallen for it and, sadly, many still do. The "insights" are deep and sincerely held and CEOs tend to have them whenever the cash runs low so don't give more than you are happy to waste.

Interesting RNS by PRE this morning.

Interesting little feature in "Proactive" on China, REs, robots, AI etc. No mention of MKA amongst the recommendations. Somebody somewhere is doing a very good job at keeping MKA under the radar......................Perhaps it's a cunning plan. And many thanks for the reassurances that 6p to 15p is good progress: back to 37p with a bigger hole in the ground plus a magnet making facility would be further reassurance but good to know that I was sufficiently perspicacious to see the possibilities though years ahead of the time. That's AIM for you. ATBALTHs

Trust whoever stumped up the 52k buy knew what they were at!

And PRE in the Gov's 10 year plan according to the BB. I'm no geopolitical guru but seriously beginning to consider slicing my top. I've only punted on AIM for 25 years or more win or lose but as a simple man something here is not quite straightforward. Many sincere thanks to those attempting to read the runes but if all is in order and on time and going swimmingly then an RNS to that effect or a TR-1 would be reassuring. Yes, I know the sp is higher but surely not as high as the recent news would anticipate. Without the contributions of those who understand these things I would smell a rat and be out. Big seller, forward warrants et al all very erudite but if prospects are as they seem I would expect a sp twitch upwards at the very least. As a previous remark: sp was 37p with just a hole in the ground and some sort of magnet recovery in Birmingham: funny old AIM. ATBALTHs

And featured on the BBC this morning SG according to reports on the PRE BB. Deafening silence for MKA so far as I know - but still holding. ATB

I couldn't agree more biffa. My fear is that the big boys are sitting licking their lips and putting together the petty cash required to see of us LTH for a pittance. ATB

Enjoy your day esduk. Trust you have noted the TR-1 over on PRE. And another sea of blue for MKA : who are they all? (rhetorical question!) Seems a little odd to me to just have little, or even quite large, PIs hoovering up day after day. It would be reassuring to have at least one II showing a substantial interest given the world-wide drama. ( Played a couple of times at Lord's last century: outfield grass was always a bit long for my liking; preferred Trent Bridge to be honest - that's oop North.) ATB

Well, thanks all: that has put me right! Here's hoping that next month's update settles the case, proving that the market is fervently green and that all lths get some cash back. I will have strong words with Mrs M about her choice of kitchen and utility room liquids and consider an increase in her housekeeping allowance. ATB

SG: Good morning. I may be no stock genius but I am not completely stupid! MKA has looked promising (and interesting) ever since my original punt but never catch a falling knife so I waited until the recovery to 6p before adding. I believe it is called "averaging down" in the trade. On AIM it usually means throwing good money after bad but in this case the strategy is working quite well though I stopped at 14p. The story gets more interesting day by day and I am grateful to the posters hereon who keep us up to date. My fear is that MKA will be seized by one of the big boys before us poor l-t punters get our just desserts. ATB to you and ALTHs

37p. Why do you ask? It was considered to be a fair punt on a hole in the ground in deepest Africa - somewhere called Malawi that was about to produce riches if the Chinese did not muscle in. Anything else I can help with? ATB

I have a worry: I have given up on "green" ; gone back to Fairy Liquid as advertised - gets rid of grease. Gone back to Alberto Balsom shampoo which gives a good lathering. Mrs M who does the shopping has gone off "green": much more expensive- put green on the label and up the price for the eco-warriors who can afford to save the planet. At 4p to 11p (think we got to 17p briefly) ITX seemed to be a good buy and a fair punt but on AIM of all places not too many punt at £2 a throw nor apparently at 95p either. "Consolidation" in my experience means the price falls further (I'm not a mathematician but I know what I feel!) 95p to c£6 would be a welcome move despite tariffs so I look forward to July and the update and a return to c4p to at least cut my losses a little.

Happy to be accused of being a deramper - not the case it's just as I see it - and no hard feelings to those who grace the board with insight and information but Mrs M is not so impressed and fears for her next birthday present . ATBALTHs
