Good morning all. Profit are you going to keep it to yourself?

Agreed its the name of the game...good luck to them if thats the case...but remember they have to buy back in. Just nice to actually realise whats going on.

So there you have it the lack of news has probably given opportunity for one of the MMs to short the stock. Given as i believe they have advanced warning of impending RNSs (but not the content) they are on a win win situation. The current sp has nothing to do with the company, its products or future prospects.....merely because someone has taken the opportunity to short it....of course all in my opinion!!

Thanks surprised, thought it would be with the kind words PS has to say about them.

you know that M&M (SWEETS) advert that is on telly where one of them says..."its all starting to make sense now" Well i feel like him...its clicking into place. oh i am thick!!!

so that got me thinking how does a MM short a stock if the other MMs are not, they may not be allowed to confur but i,d say there is some sort of agreement...hence this behaviour. Different market makers will be important for different stocks. It�s important to analyze the level 2 screen for each stock individually. Keep in mind, that different market makers may behave differently on each stock. The best way to figure out which market makers are important is by analyzing the level 2 screen for a couple of days to get a feel for how the stock trades. Look for things such as which market maker controls most of the volume, how many shares the market maker shows vs. how many they actually sell, the size of the spread, and how fast the market maker allows the stock to move in either direction. I also like to check a stock�s historical trading volume by market maker. So who is OUR alpha MM profit? whos the leader of the pack on Cap-xx.

so there we have it MMs are traders and able to short a stock,THEREFORE they would have something to gain by having a paid deramper. AND given the trading this morning i believe they probably are. NOW why could,nt one of you have just told me that lol.

"Market Makers are Traders � All this talk of shorting, soaking up size, and fake big orders can seem like a crazy conspiracy theory. I�ll admit that there are some crazy market maker conspiracy theories out there, but it�s important to remember that market makers are traders. Just like other traders, market makers are trying to make money. Yes, it is their job to keep a balanced market, however, they are also responsible for remaining profitable. This is important to understand because it can shed light on a market maker�s intentions. For example, if a market maker shorts a stock at .02/share and the stock runs to .04/share, you could understand why the market maker may have motivation to push the price down. Don�t get paranoid and automatically assume market makers are manipulating a stock; just be conscious of what is going on and look for red flags" http://upperdivisioninvesting.com/level-2-tip-know-market-makers/.

When you have had no news for 7 mnths can imagine it will be hard to drum up interest and they will have easier targets to earn their money. of course this is all guess work. Yes sentiment is still strong here, 10 mins basic research will tell you the potential for Cap-xx, many have spent hours so they will not let these go lightly.

i am presuming the MMs work more than one company at a time (happy to be educated on this)..maybe they see potential higher volumes to concentrate on elsewhere?

Good question, i agree that does seem the case.... This mornings trading to me seemed very weird....i do not know the "limits" with which the MMs can move in. Maybe they do have a bigger picture i honestly dont know.

worth a read.(i havent yet but i will) http://www.londonstockexchange.com/traders-and-brokers/rules-regulations/market-making/market-making.htm

its all guess work and everybodies guess is just as good if not better than mine...i have a very vivid imagination lol.

MMSare not paid by anyone they make there money from the spread... the maket value is determined by supply and demand.

Trying to figure out the ramblings of a educated poster is and can only be guesswork...nothing will be proved or admitted. I agree he posts for a reason other than to share information and a bit of comradery. imo he his either as he says a holder who sees the bigger long term picture and is aiming to accumulate what he can before takeoff.He dosent mind if the sp falls, he gets more for his money short term, i admit to falling into this bracket OR he is here purely to get the number of share chats up. i can imagine him having numerous alias accounts with permission, maybe working 3 or 4 of them at a time. PURELY to antagonise posters to get a reaction.. just my opinion...here to be shot down!!

i agree what a trolls aim is to accomplish but cannot understand why the MMs would gain by this...as i have said thet will make a market whatever the price. MMs working together is a serious,very serious offence...no chance of that.

Call me niave,ignorant,stupid but i,m not buying it.. Sorry if anyone wants to give a reasonable explanation as to why MMs would pay someone to cast doubt then i am all ears. firstly that would suggest MMs are in cahoots with eachother...MMs compete with each other, they make a market whatever the price. But as i have said i,m all ears.

i am not saying it does or it dosent i,m trying to understand that if it does then why....cant see what they gain. Anyone like to explain...please.
