There are 2 identical buys of 6,790,123 shares reported after close. They were bought at exactly the same price but have different timestamps. Not sure if these are 2 different transactions or there was a glitch and 1 buy has been reported twice.

A couple of brokers were positive about IAG and one increased their price target to 665p. Maybe we will see a nice rise tomorrow morning.

Yesterday under 40m shares changed hands - the lowest amount of daily transactions in over 1 month. Today may finish with even fewer transactions.

Previously the MMs have lowered the price to trigger stop losses and generate volumes. This hasn't really happened yesterday or today, probably because few current holders have stop losses in place . Their other option is to increase the price to hit some limit sells. They did this earlier in the week, but seem to be reluctant to do this yesterday or today. Perhaps they are trying to bore some short-term traders out of their shares now with very limited share movements over a couple of days or wait to see if some people sell up on Friday afternoon...

Anyway the MMs will need to change their approach to generate business next week. IMO the best way would be increase the price until they encourage holders to sell...

I also have a small holding where I bought around £1K at 2.45p. After a while I did a 50% top-up which I set-up a limit buy at 3.37p but over the course of 2 days the price went higher. I figured people would profit take at 4p, so I did a high risk move and put all my share on a limit sell at 3.95p and sold them. I didn't want to be out of EUA overnight and bought back in with a circa 50% top-up at 3.8p. So I'm also sitting on a paper loss right now, but I only invested money that I could afford to lose.

I'm not going to risk selling all my shares, but have put a limit sell on around 33% of them (so I keep the original amount I invested and can sell the top-up amount. People will need to pay over 3p to hit my limit sell otherwise I'm happy to hold for the long term. There is no way I would sell EUA at a loss now as the potential upside of the share is far greater than the potential downside. Even if EUA don't get a decent price for their assets in the short term, the asset is still there in the ground and they have brought in experts so they can increase production and start mining themselves at very good profit margins.

Why do you think that? Do you think the MMs will have EUA reduced in their black Friday sale? :-)

Yes, a paper profit is good but taking some profit in hard cash is even better. There is no "sure thing" shares (especially AIM) so banking a bit reduces risk.

A wise old physicist I used to know (now sadly passed on) gave me useful advice that I've followed over the years. He weighed up probability and decided whether something was worth going after. If he had any doubts about the next course of action, his motto was only do half of what he originally planned. If he sold half and the shares rose strongly he would still make some money. If the share fell right back he would have half his investment to diversify. He had reduced the risk by limiting his potential profit and losses.

I have no hidden agendas and use LSE to talk about shares that I'm personally invested in. Like everybody else I'm here to make money and sometimes I make money and other times I lose. I have previously been burned with an AIM share and would describe myself as "cautiously optimistic".

I'm originally from Glasgow, have lived near London for 20+ years and now living near Cape Town in sunny South Africa.

The word banked implies selling some precious shares! mercedesman you must be a trader or a deramper! Get the tar and feathers ready :-)

Is one of your 5% supposed to be a 95%? If not, where did the other 90% go :-)

lamtree, jump into the car or call for an Uber?

They are more likely to be twins than lovers if they are willing to meet up with Andre and supply IDs. If they have the same surname and the same DoB then that is pretty conclusive proof of them being twins.

I keep thinking of the twins in Barbie & the diamond castle when Jez was saying he is a twin. One of the twins in the story was called Jeremy!

I was holding roughly £1K of shares at 2.45p and wanted to do an extra 50% top-up over the last few days with a buy target of 3.37p. The price went against me, so figured that we may hit 4p today. Took a big risk and put a limit sell at 3.95p and then a limit buy at 3.8p. This risky move got me an extra 700 shares over what I was going to buy and gave me roughly £150 profit.

TBH it wasn't worth the all the hassle and I'm not doing any more trading and I'm waiting to see what offer is put forward. I'm hoping to get 22p per share or more.

There's 1 really confusing sell at 3.30p. Why would it go through at that price rather than 3.5p like the ones around it?

20-Nov-19 08:37:27 3.30 2,000,000 Sell* 3.45 3.55 66.00k

I did wonder about the volume. I was looking at the EUA share price page that was saying 591 trades with almost 26m sells and 24m buys. If 4p is reached that may trigger a lot of sells and pull the price back down again. If the traded volume remains high tomorrow then maybe we'll get a lower volume on Thursday, as the 2 low volume days had another day between them. It does look like the shares are starting to find buyers who want to hold rather than trade.

The volume of shares traded really took off 18 trading days ago on 24th of October. In the last 18 days there have been 2 days that have gad trading volumes of below 100 million shares. Wednesday 13th and Friday 15th of November had around 92m shares traded. Today the volume was below 50m, so perhaps the number of willing sellers are drying up.

Hopefully the MM will attempt to drop the price initially to shake weak holders as they usually do. If they raise the price again I'm hoping for fewer sellers tomorrow and testing the 4p level.

Is that defiantly or definitely? As long as it's not the share price that drops! :-)

GingerHippo - yes I've only bought around £1K of EUA shares as that's all my spare cash at the moment. With hindsight a big red flag with MTFB was the CEO taking a big salary rather than owning shares. Not so with EUA - the leaders have invested lots of their own time/money in the business.

EUA just needs to hit 10p or so for me to recoup the losses I made on MTFB and with my limited knowledge of the share (I only heard of EUA 3 weeks ago) I believe this can be achieved.

At the time MTFB seemed to have a 90% plus chance of getting their drug approved by the FDA. It looked like the nearest thing to a dead cert that I has seen on AIM so I bought in. There were a few alarm bells like the CEO took a salary and hadn't purchased shares etc. EUA looks like a better bet as all the top guys have invested money in a big chunk of shares.

Why are you so concerned with potential derampers? You have got the shares in EUA that you want and what the derampers say aren't going to make any difference to the final offer price in the asset sale. Let the derampers , shorters and day traders do their thing and attempt make money their way. The rest of us can invest and wait for the future sale.

I don't know if this person was joking or not, but somebody this morning was talking about buying more EUA shares using his credit card. I don't know if they were being sarcastic or considering actually doing this mad move!

MTFB looked good and I bought in at around 32p. I did a couple of top-ups on the way down to average down on selling price - not a wise decision with hindsight!

My experience of AIM is I last found a share what looked like a dead cert but it turned out to be a dead duck! The share has lost around 96% of the value and I'm £3K down but there were some people who went all in and lost 5 and 6 figures. I've looked at AIM shares as a gamble and only put in money that I can afford to lose.

I don't think that today will be that exciting for the LTH (if you can be called a LTH after 2 or 3 weeks) LOL. I expect to see a rise today but the real fun will start once we hear about the offers from interested parties - hoping this will be before next Friday.

GLA - especially the people who have held their shares for years.
