Things are looking up, the wife has just had a letter in the afternoon post informing her that her disability Living Allowance is going up by £1.50 from April. more to invest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully I should also get the £1.50p also. Perhaps even go to Wetherspoons to celebrate.

As for it happening on Friday we are, with respect not holding our breath, however you did cover yourself by not saying which Friday they daid or died or or possible said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are not going to try and translate your last two sentences, (no offence meant) but sincerely hope you are correct. Note Potage is up to 15 at the moment. At least you are buying. Hope you get your just rewards.

We did at 5.8 ish and 6.8 ish as we have so many (for us) we are not buying until it hits the very low 7p ask price. We decided once we had purchased the amount we wanted we would only add when it dipped below our average, which we did do. Only have limited funds so keeping them in case it does go to 7p to buy. If it does not and shoots up then we are in profit. A win win possibility.

If in fact it and others ever will be listed. You can understand why some are selling at, which must be a loss to them. A lot of investors are getting nervous about the situation. It is not the BOD at FFWD who are at fault, if fault is the correct word. It is the expectations investors have built up.
No doubt when / if FFWD gets up to the 9p range again for what ever reason, as around 9p may be the average price for a lot of investors. More will start to join the exodus if the price continues to rise just to retrieve their outlay. Slowing the SP rise down until a firm reason for the rise is in black and white, not "should be" or "future expectations"
The main hope we can see is the revaluation of FFWDs NAV to the 20p range (which may be correct amount at the moment) then a rise to 11-13p could be the range FFWD settles at until the companies that FFWD do something of paper value.

Personally prefer the share price to rise and sell some to cover costs from the ISAs we hold with just FFWD in them. We prefer no more dividends because income will attract the tax man and we have enougth dividends this year already.
We do understand why some prefer Dividend though. ,
One of you have just said it could go nearer a £ if all come good. Then the ISAs will really pay off. but think that is just ideal dreams, something at our age we know very rarely occurs.
Someone also said getting even would feel like a victory. Well, we do sympathise with you if you are a long way away from that point, as we have been in that situation with other shares in the past. They did come good eventually and so will this one for you.
It must be annoying for those seeing buying opportunities arise with the drop in the FFWD SP but are unable for various reasons to take advantage of it to lower their average. Again a situation we have been in.
38p would be nice for us. Then we can buy that other bungalow.
Getting back to reality we do need some good healthy buying for any reason.
Sat on here fiddling and looking for IT bargains while awaiting the district nurse. We did sell half of our Chinese ITs about 3 weeks ago, at least did something right. They will also come back up,though, but trebled our investment on them.
Crystal Amber and Aberdeen New Thai are attracting us. Lindsell Train may be worth a little punt if it drops to £1000 - £1100 along with old favourite to recover IIT.
Take care all.

No quote to sell 1000, thought they wanted cheap stock.
We kept adding to our holding last week and are thinking that if they do go below 7p we would buy as many as we possible can. Even selling stock to raise capital. We only have limited means so could do with some of you buying them as well as us.

No one on here appears to be buying, so please come on dont leave it all to us.

Quoted 7.45 to buy 12500
unable to get a quote to sell 1000

must be a lot of sales lined up.
Hopefully we will not get back to the 6p range

Or of course an IPO arrives which will make a difference. Which we omitted to say.

We, like a lot will not buy any more stock until it stops going down and levels off for a few days, along with the sellers feeling they cannot sell at the current quoted price.
With portage dropping from 17 back to 13 is not helping.
Regardless of what people think it is worth in their hopes and dreams only figures count for those of us who are only interested in making money.
What you all say about the companies FFWD are invested in may be correct , otherwise we would have sold and not increased our holding, FFWDs NAV is around 12p with the possibility of this nearly doubling in future results, however until buyers outnumber sellers the price will not rice.
Looking at SP 3-4 times daily and will try and look at your posts at the weekend, which seem to have gone very quiet, perhaps because the reality of the situation has dawned on you, with no big price increase until the big boys get interested.
Take care all.

Agreed
How did some one selling three times the amount of a previous sale get more money per share (@ 8.45 and 8.57) than the previous sale. (different MM we assume, but still does not make sense) Again not unusual.
We have again asked the London stock ex. why MMs cannot be made to indicate if a trade s a sale or purchase for the benefit of all investors. A question we have asked many times over the during the last 40-50 years along with the fact AIM is bad at canceling trades at the days end or reversing them for the MMs own benefit to get buyers or sellers. It is not far off a confidence trick in our mind.
Most of us know that some trades indicated as sales are in fact buys and visa versa. However to anyone new this may not be apparent for quite a long time and they accept what they see is correct so we all have to keep pointing this out.
Doc and hospital calls again so will look in at you when we can. We have ceased buying at the moment just in case they force the price down to the lower 7p range

If you were told 265k were going to be traded without knowing if it was a buy or sell, what price would you have put the trade at if A) it was a buy and b) it was a sale? The MMs have had us really guessing today. The sudoku is much easier to fathom out.
We were quoted 8.14 to buy just before the close and 7.95 to sell
If a sale surly it would have been at a lower price, if a buy you would have expected a higher price.
There appears to be one MM wanting stock and another with too much.
Well at least it keeps us interested, along with wondering will portage be yesterday or the day before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after reading your posts.

As to whether those two sales to day were in fact buys.
Offered to buy £760 worth and quoted 8.075p to buy them. So those two sales today were in fact buys.Some one with more money in their account should try a spoof buy of £25k to see what they will sell them to you for.
Tried a spoof sale of 20700 and told it had to be a negotiated sale.
Then tried a spoof sale of 9700 and quoted 8p to sell them
Ah well have to go but will keep an eye on the trades when we can.

Portage price jump after listed?
Will the average 260% you all mention be on Thurs close @ 10p or Fri close @ 15p: Either suits us. What will each penny on portage price add to our NAV? We are sure you clever ones know.
Factom what has happened here? you were all saying it would make us rich a few months ago. The silence is rather deafening.
Think today's sales were sales not buys, as suggested. We paid 8.45p at 11;15am followed by a sale soon after us at 8.351p at 12.51p. The 50K purchase pushed the price up a bit then there were steady sales from then on. The MMs were scrambling to get stock in anticipation of a NAV price upgrade is our guess, making the price hold well even with the amount of sales.
Not sure why people were selling but probably short term profit taking by those who look for this sort of thing, especially with the weekend approaching.
We will look at the SP at regular intervals next week but doubt we will have time for much else, will try and look at posts in 6-7 days. In the meantime keep buying as we have run out of pennies for a bit.
Portfolio: There was always going to be disappointments . With such excellent choices by the BOD some will pay off handsomely.
SP of 38p will see us sell some of our stock to buy another property then again more will be sold at 50p, with the rest, we will keep for a £1 just in case it goes mad. Always look on the bright side of life.
Take care all.

TYPED THE WRONG FIGURE IT WAS 26400

TOPPED UP WITH ANOTHER 26500

We trade ITs a lot but do generally avoid those few with a premium. With a discount they give you a better yield. We do acknowledge that some always trade at a premium and this did hit around the £19 mark so if it drops to £10 or £11 with the same premium it may be worth buying as some of its holdings may be out of favour, therefore worth buying. We go for stocks / sectors out of favour as they usually come back and often give a decent dividend in between.

Late large sale?

SELL PRICE STILL 8.251 BUY PRICE DROPPED TO 8.4P
WEIRD, ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO ATTRACT BUYERS.

THAI ONCE IT DROPS BACK. 15-20P

LOOKS TIME TO GET IN TO AGAIN AT THIS PRICE
