Totally correct - 20-30% premium on current price if you're lucky --- its why I left like a scalded rat...

This share is in classic bleed mode. Share price will bleed of to almost nothing with the odd upward blip to keep punters hoping and invested until the inevitable happens..

AMER has just shot up today funnily enough. IRON still seems to be in the toilet though. However KZG needs to be multiple 100%'s up for me to be in profit even with some averaging down.

I miss the old days too, the days when I had 1000's more pounds than I have now due to REM !

rhertig - interested in your post and sympathise. I retired early partly due to being sick of the rat race and partly due to intermittent health issues. I have been investing for about 10 years now and have had a lot of success with choosing funds and investment trusts, as well as 'proper' shares. I have only ever treated AIM as the cherry on the cake side of investing and I am thoroughly glad I did. I would say AIM is only really for trading and skilled trading to boot. I have done a few successful trades, but have been in/am in some awful AIM shares most notably REM/KDNC which has burned loads of people. Even the key rampers are now ****ging the BOD off. In summary if you approach AIM with a "blow the doors off" mentality it will end badly if you are entering with a significant stake that will smart if you lose it.
All the AIM shares I have ever seen had a plethora of people saying "will be massive" and "fill yer boots" etc etc, but big pinch of salt is needed.

Every board has its resident ramper - I have not seen one without...

Well you'd better be right because this has got a very long way to go for me to break even even after averaging down a la Nick Leeson of Barings fame..

I couldnt leave this post untouched "FK is hopefully honest after all his time here and reputation" are we all supposed to be in kindergarten !!!! FK was an arch ramper either working full time to protect his investment or for the company itself.
Get real -- you can never really trust anyone on these boards in this way..

And there are those who want to make some money sometime this century for fecks sake, I am a holder, usually the type of person these BB's like as opposed to emotionless 5% day traders..

Dont like this fat **** but if he can ramp the price up it will be welcome --- he is good at that..

Does this mean there are some matched trades ?? Or am I on the wrong track ? Matched trades are becoming more common and a way of artificially suppressing a shares price for less than honest reasons..

Gritster --- You are mirroring how I feel about this..."We are in something special" and "all the pieces are falling into place" is starting to make me puke ! Still 2 of my other AIM shares are doing well - EMH & BCN...

Funky --- I agree with you but they still never return calls ...

The MJF licence news was good news as far as I could see but the share price is still sliding like an eel down a toilet bowl, I only see an upturn when we get and RNS that doesnt start with CASP is pleased to announce we have done a load of interesting oilwell stuff but as yet none of it is leading to the flow of crude oil nor can we estimate when this will happen....

Every dog has a flea and every share discussion board has a resident super ramper ! The more interesting question is ramping motive options as follows :-
1) Personally gambled on the share big time and want to protect investment
2) Invested to a small extent but believe in the story
3) Part of city pro investing 'gang'
4) Attached to company they are ramping or paid by them

Joe - Dont know how you see it as shafted. It is abundantly clear that these mines will never be financed by a business loan at 8% interest. I assume you also think BCN has been shafted then ?

Yes KDNC 3.3% down EMH 11% up BCN up around 10% over last week says it all really --- why did we ever bother with the minigas glee and holiday club !

At last, we have been in the doldrums so long we now have start of play -- predictions to share price end of day 30p ??
End of week 50p ??

KZG never call me back why would they call you back ?

I wonder what mr Cufflinks Parsons next project will be ?
