Why on earth would you want to put a stop-loss on any stock that has a Beta of 1.76? To put that into context, @1.76 Sirius is subject to volatility swings 76% greater than the market itself.
Stop-losses have a useful - and sometimes skin saving - role to play in financial markets. It is the misuse of them by those unaware or unappreciative of when they should be used wisely that earns them a bad name.

Well... as a Sirius shareholder of 10 years standing, you can rest assured that’s one petition I won’t be signing.

Morning, LoM. Is your parrot definitely dead, and are you certain your parrot isn’t actually a Norwegian Blue?
Because if it is, you might not know that it may only be resting. Or pining for the fjords...

Hi, Chriskies. Chloride is a chlorine ion and can be separated from a feedstock with the use of heat (energy intensive) and sulphuric acid. A method known as the ‘Mannheim process’ is the usual way and is generally how SOP (rare in nature) is produced.
As far as we are concerned the process uses significant amounts of energy (thus is expensive), creates pollution and isn’t covered by the conditions of our planning application. So whilst ultimately possible, isn’t viable as far as we are concerned.

woolverstone, of course I understand the waiting can be discomfiting, however, - to my mind anyway - I think some shareholders are mistakenly ascribing the circumstances facing some of the companies who achieved successful offerings as comparable to our own. Unfortunately it is not as simple as that. I have been critical of Fraser in the past —primarily because I didn’t think he’d lived up to his billing, however, in circumstances such as we currently find ourselves, some things need to be borne in mind. Firstly, Sirius are not generating any revenues, and even ‘junk bond’ investors want to know how they will be paid. Secondly, in contrast to the likes of IOG - who announced a successful offering this morning (and at an enviable coupon to boot) for their North Sea gas, Sirius are looking for finance for a product that is pretty much unknown commercially -even though its characteristics and qualities are scientifically proven. As such, there are myriad other conce4ns or conditions potential buyers will look to apply before they commit.
Yes, we may all appreciate everything poly has to offer, but, let me ask you this; if you were investing in a business, particularly for which the market is yet unproven, would you be looking to secure and any guarantees or, failing that, expect the risk you are taking to be accounted for? I certainly would.
Sirius has massive potential. If you held the keys to unlocking it, I bet you’d be driving a hard bargain too.

Hard to argue with the rest of it, but, aren’t all these things sorta predetermined, or preordained or summin’? After all, "The dice are thrown in the lap, and every decision is from the Lord". Apparently.
Failing that, at least you could pray.

Spot on, Cherokee. That’s a cogent example: large buy clears the ask at several price points and, as the unaware climb aboard, the sell (iceberg) order provides all the immediate liquidity smaller buyers need.
Uninteresting for some perhaps, however, there’s much to be made aware of here:

I concur with your conjecture, but, more than maybe, GK. More than likely I’d say. As we know, there’s plenty of mechanisms - indeed, locations - on offer if opacity is required. If you’re buying under the spotlights then it follows that you want it to bee seem.

“It could just be a quick trade. Any fractional movement of the SP with figures like that will make somebody very rich, very quickly.”

Equally, any fractional movement against you will leave you with a heavy loss,. When you take that sort of position it highly unlikely such sums are risked on “any fractional movement”.
You’re thinking like a PI.

Lol. I did think that myself. Should any £1 party ever come to pass - subject to the extent of any further dilution - I don’t think anyone holding Sirius now will be shy of paying for any drinks.

Good morning, Thornback. Do you have access to L2? And, if so, are those orders coming on the book in that number or, are they just nibbles from a bigger order on the sell-side? And if there’s an RSP code, is it the same every time? Initial impressions are that it’s possibly an iceberg buy (only because the transactions are at the top of the spread).

“Thanks for sharing Fred. Much appreciated. The only bit of the article that I took notice of was the follow sentence:
' Should Sirius successfully raise the bond issue, it would guarantee the company’s future and the share price would be expected to jump dramatically '”

Which is daft. Sorry, Jonesey, but, it is. Either the article (and the author) is of merit, or, it isn’t.
Perhaps I’m being naive...

The fear in the market however is, have they, indeed, have we, called it right. We’re betting on a market that doesn’t exist yet, and that scares some people.
But, that’s fine. This game is all about risk. And some are a little more averse than others.
But, it costs ‘em.

If you haven’t a decent number of fruits by now, the pots are too small or, the roots quite likely otherwise constrained. Unfortunately it’s pretty much too late to do anything viable about it now - other than putting it in a bed or border and hoping for the best and the absence of any early frost.
However if these particular capsicums are of real value to you (hopefully frutescens, chinense or, baccatum) then the best thing you can do if you’re hoping for fruit now is, provide a high P feed to stimulate flowering and a high K feed to maximise size. Failing that, you can ,maintain the plant over winter by keeping it in a conservatory or sunlit porch, 3nsuring the compost doesn’t stay too wet, and accepting it will lose all its leaves. Hopefully however, come the spring you will start to see new growth. From that stage you can treat them as new plants. If kept in pots, suggest clay for aeration and John Innes no.3 for sustenance.
Good luck.
