First trade was 1.2993p

then after two more buys the next purchaser paid

fourth trade 1.21205p

No sales yet the buying price dropped. The first buyer must wonder what is happening paying more than if they had waited.

then it is just sell sell sell

Give up!!!!!!!

All we can hope is that these figures will be noted by some one who will give it a buy rating. Has any one noted the NAV of AAU
Seriously wondering about the exit door at a small loss, money may be better invested in a mining investment trust.

You mentioned people just keep on selling, however the MM does not lower the price much so he thinks that the shares are worth holding if they are getting too many.
Until a newspaper does tip them or their is a T/O the price remains stagnant.
The current Sell price of 1.15p, and yes the spread is to exceptionally wide, sees us just losing because of the spread..
However eventually all these sellers must run out, leaving just the buyers.
We think If the spread closed it would attract more trades. There are a number of shares we would have bought in to but did not owing to wide % of the spreads.,AAU is nearly 9%.
So we have stopped buying in to companies with wide spreads, and possibly others have not invested in AAU because of the spread.
If the market maker closed the spread and the number of shares they must trade was reduced also, say £3000 worth then things may improve.

Nice to see the shorter's are getting fewer. Beside the fact we do not think shorting with borrowed shares should be allowed, these shorts will run their time and buying in to them with p/e of r 5 and nearly 10% divi makes them look a good investment. CRST is our biggest investment at the moment along with PAF.
We have about 80% of our investments in Investment Trusts and we are adding to trusts that are 40 to 50% off their highs, they do come back in time. Among those that have dropped a lot are JMC, FCSS, AFMC, IGC, PHI, ABII, ALL must rise 40%+ to reach their highs. There are many more.Ts.need to rise 25-40% to get back to their high, Mainly Frontier markets and China. Shares that we are buying are PAF, with their low costs to mine gold and CRST. Both of these will show a big profit when their value is ralised, hopefully!!!. Two cheap I.Ts but a bit of a gambol are FFWD, & ESO who would more than double. We are approaching our 80s and seen all this turmoil many times, but it always gives you a chance to buy cheap. Never buy at the top wait for a collapse.

We have added to our holding as whatever the board do the manager is picking stocks that will rise considerable as the india market will improve.greatly.

Be nice to see some upward movement. However cannot see it coming yet, but have increased our stake again, more with hope than expectation.

We will kick ourselves in the future for not buying more at this price, 346p, grossly undervalued but the dividend keeps coming, at over 8% we will have our money back in 12 years and still hold the shares. Think on. buying this stock is a "proper job" We will add again when it levels out.and keep buying up to 375p. then just sit on them. TARGET 550p

We added to our holding, but it then dropped a little more. Looks a good buying opportunity.

Note they are not buying, at least not in their names, for a long time. If it is cheap why do they not add to their holdings?

Problem here is the spread of nearly 11% that is what has stopped us buying more. This is not an uncommon problem in Aim, however a lot of reasonable spreads. 146 -149 would attract business.

Surprised there are no trades today,

Looking for it to hit 9p last week so do we add or do we hold. Be disappointing to see further drops.

Once it settles we will add to our small holding. does not take a lot for these type of shares to add 50% when only a penny.. Big spreads do not attract buyers that is why why had not bought more in the past. Nearly 9% takes a lot just to break even.

may reach 9p today, that would be good for sentiment and attract buyers

May have been cheap at 34 now not so sure we are adding extra to PAF as this looks a better bet
in the mining sector

Down again but CRST could be this years bargain, it is so cheap.

all down but CRST is so low it is not true, could be this years bargain buy

Nice to see the increase over the last few weeks. May even get our money back at this rate!!!!

This is a ridiculously low price. More shares bought so far today than sold yet it continues to retreat. Market makers may be keeping it low as there are still some shorter's about. At this price we thought the shorter's would be taking a profit. Otherwise everyone except us knows there is very bad news around the corner. We keep buying and losing money. After Brexit the builders were very low (other builders are low but not as much as CRST) and we bought in, making a nice profit. Hopefully with the Dividend and low PE there is a possibility of the share price increasing by up to 100%. Will buy some more if it goes to £3.10p. either a big profit for us or a massive loss.

The share price dropped a bit more than the Div so took the opportunity of buying them for the 6th time.

this sector does rollercoast a lot
