All this angst this morning concerning just 350k quid. You could hardly buy a flat in the Smoke for that. Even we in the North consider this as Nowt. So whoever sold their holding, it could not have amounted to much. Yes I know, there's absolutely no logic in the manipulation of the MMs, but as we have seen before, especially in the rise from 30p to42p,sells far exceeded buys, so no one complained then!,!

Calamari.....Have I bought recently? Yes! 3 times 500k to each of my daughters and to my fiancee( of 20 years).With 2 children and 2 grandchildren each, we keep our finances separate.Rules out any iffines when we pop our cloggs. Recommended to anyone in these circumstances. End of story!

Should be 20% up .The MMs can't read, but the major mining companies can, so this situation is absolutely ripe for a counter bid before the AGM. I repeat Strong Buy!

I'm falling asleep with the present share price ,and the tiny amount of trades. Obviously the sells going through are purely pocket money ,buying these illusory holidays abroad. Astonished at the lack of buying, when Mac4671 and others with extensive research show the true value of this fantastic company

Similar scenarios......yes,in the late 1980s and the Dotcom mad market of the late 1990s ,also the metal rush of 2010/ 11.Apologies, my records have gone, but any S/B will inform you.

Delighted to see that my post straight after the bid speculating that a counter offer was on the cards, has now accumulated many comments on here and ADVN. My post then was negatively mentioned twice, then nothing until this week. Would be happy to read the expert's analysis. I'm just a hoary old investor who has seen some similar scenarios, also with acquaintances whose engagement was hijacked by a rival!,

Walton.....I had finished my 3 years in the Army ,three years before as a Sgt,so with my nice bit of savings bought a Sunbeam Rapier which was very apposite in its title for what was needed! My Jag now is a S type, great for reliability and a good one can be picked up for under 5k, and also keeps you inconspicuous if at last wealth is on the way. Absolutely right, keep your Panda!

Bought in 2009 @8p and sold out @ 12p 2011 bought @ 1p and then downhill all the way until the Sinosteel deal- absolutely amazing-250k for MM to a company worth circa 7m..Surely this should have woken up the fund managers to the enormous potential but nothing happened. So I just kept accumulating, often at the then wrong price and selling my 1p shares 3 years ago to transfer into ISAS @ 0.3p.In March this year, I transferred this Soft Cushion of losses to my daughters and fiancee, which they ISAd March and April, so after all this angst and despair, I am bathed in the very hot springs of Approval. What more could anyone want!

Now the FSP has gone ,as we have experienced in other similar situations, the market is WIDE OPEN for a counter bid.The present share price is an absolute nonsense, says this hoary old investor (I have the scars to prove it,especially from 11 years with EUA).Just hold your breath, because it will be sooner rather than later.

Fascinating post on Advn by Stevebrr at 11am.Those who were potential bidders in the FSA were held back from any publicity by NDAs.Now they can evaluate their position, there is a chance of counter bidding (experts please evaluate this).Could be Stellar.......!

After ramping ARB yesterday, another Motley Fool has advised not to buy. They are simply covering themselves for every eventuality. This is after HL stuck by the Woodford Fund until the bitter end for a hell of a lot of investors. They posted sell on EUA @ 4p.None of us are perfect ,and I do realize that several of you are with HL,.so they must be doing something right. I do wonder if they have lost ground after the Woodford scandal because they are advertising on TV.Just a further note of caution from Martin Lewis, don't necessarily act on his advice!!!......!!!

Good flying duck.....certainly not ramping ARB and I am not a shareholder Leaving it to HL who barely had I posted than Whoops! they have posted another ramp with virtually the same wording as last week when it was 235!!I was only pointing out that there are many trading on Margins, which when you get a fall in price like ARB you're in a perilous position. Yes I will ramp EUA, for at this price, it's a gift.

Look at ARB, the Bitcoin business, down yesterday from 235 to today's 140,with, of course buys far exceeding sells. Other Bitcoin companies having a shake out, so pressure on shares as long bets have gone array, with a scramble for cash to cover almost impossible situations. If you view what EUA investors also hold, you can see why it would affect us. It's certainly not about the fundamentals, it's just the market.

Eastenders......Popples.......I couldn't agree with you more. I was in basic training in the Army with 90% of the platoon from the Isle of Dogs They were great, 85% positive and amusing with just the tiniest bit of negativity. That stupid programme of that name is a complete travesty!

RMR 1969......ISA news! I did post earlier ,after praising Pello Capital, that I was not sure that they did an instant ISA B and.B. They are mad busy doing just that for their clients today. Same price guaranteed for both, hence their 5 star rating.

That 70k sell again looks exactly like an ISA funding. This is probably why the market is so skewed today with most buy and sells going through at virtually the same price.

Year 2020.......I presume from that gap waiting for your funds you are buying through your bank. My S/ B,Pello Capital, can get it to you after midday next day. Also, if you have sufficient equity with them, you can buy and sell on the same day, but not necessarily with an ISA.

I noted concerns on the late sales of 137k and mid Thursday 68 k.A possibly logical explanation of these is they could equate to a ISA buy on April 5 th and a further buy on the 6th Certainly the money looks right for this scenario, with the 68k fitting into this pattern. Am I mistaken, but if you have enough equity with your S/B ,but NOT the Banks, you can get a bed and breakfast ISA buy?

Dore123......Absolutely! It went from 0.4 to 2p in the morning, was suspended until 2pm, then was sold down to 0.8 that day .A slight rise the next day then subsided to o.4.Even worse for me,as posted before ,the shareholders enemy, the FCA, prevented me from selling because my S/B was in administration, Although they had confirmed the shares were mine 6 weeks before. Yet another financial stitch up.

Great to read that someone else remembers Snowman. He was reviled by TDT for suggesting 1.5 pounds as the sell out price-now it's almost the average. Have not heard from Mrs Snowman who emerged briefly. Any news of her?
