I sold at 29p+ recently at a profit Although longer term I am positive but was unsure about holding a good profit up to the results which could go either way. I am optimistic long term and am intrigued about the BooHoo holding in the company which I see as positive. I see positive things in the results but the overriding points for me are nett debt increased, a reduction in current cash and that they are fully drawn on their increased banking facility. This may be the worst it will be on these areas and increasing sales, margins etc will get the company moving towards actual nett profits. Unless I am missing something I am not surprised the SP has fallen. New management and with BooHoo having a major holding and influence I am sure changes for the better will be made. I would not be surprised if a cash injection via an institutional placing or a rights issue could come to put the balance sheet in better shape. I will buy back in but am waiting for now. The risk I take being out in the meantime is that a bid will come by BooHoo or other seeing long term value. Unusual for me as I normally have long term holdings and trade with extra holdings but I am completely out of Revolution Beauty at present. Longer term I see better times though.

Been in CMC for years. I look long term but trade shares in companies in which I have long term holdings which I find a useful and profitable strategy. Do not get it right all the time of course. When markets turn back up I believe CMC will see increasing trades and SP will increase. I bought more this morning and am already seeing a profit on this morning's buy but obviously seeing overall loss on existing holdings as a result of today's trading update. Optimistic long term still. The unexpected happens so whatever shares you buy don't buy with money you might need in the short term.....like next month's rent etc! I know someone who did and the SP continued to fall big time before rising dramatically after a couple of years. Same thing could happen here but hopefully this may be the bottom. Think long term with CMC is my stance.

I agree. The significant drop in the SP was an opportunity to add which I did at sub 4p. Petro Matad shares have been one of my most successful shares for trading on volatility alongside my long term holdings. Once the oil flows or a start date is confirmed for actual oil flow comes the SP will rerate upwards strongly. If the drop in SP was a reaction to the interview then it was unwarranted in my opinion, perhaps some were frustrated at speed of progress but I have no doubt patience will be rewarded and we will see the SP move from single to double figures......at some point........just don't expect it in days or even weeks......well, might be weeks....you never know. One think I have learned in 40+ years of investing is the unexpected happens. I have had a stock double overnight (Amryt) and blue chip stocks I thought indestructible crash towards the floor overnight and eventually go bust....so don't put too much in any one stock is my advice. Just noticed SP is now 4.25p so looks like others are regarding this morning's fall as excessive.

Dartron, thanks for that link/update in your post.

Could good RNS coming, takeover or people seeing a rise in share price and just getting on board knowing this is likely a good company for the longer term. Time will tell. Always liked Calnex and traded the share profitably. Last holding bought at 117.69 quite a while back so pleased to see a profit now. A stock I do not want to be completely out of at any time.

UK Investor Magazine on 6 July highlighted the procedures necessary following LP granting before production could start. These procedures could take weeks. If those procedures are nearing completion or completed then the news of a production start date will see SP rerate. Article highlighted 17p nett asset value. We may not get 17p quickly but with the huge exploration area it has rights to and becoming a cash generative producer FOMO will see a lot of buying

and big increase in SP beforehand and once a positive RNS comes. As with all investments there is risk so don't put next month's rent in. Surpises come but with PM I am really excited as I always have, though I trade this shares ups and downs in addition to long term holdings. Today's SP movement suggests possibly positive news may not be long in coming.

Perhaps corporate activity is afoot or good news on trading / orders is coming. A few good buys can move this share up and down sharply even though there is no news. However I hope things are looking positive for Image Scan financials and SP going forward. Braveheart upping stake a while back adds interest.

Was surprised the lowest buy quote offered you was 3.42 since beginning. At 50 seconds into trading after 8am my first quote with Interactive Investor was 2p then quotes slightly above 2p after when I bought. Then it rose strongly. Interactive Investor confirmed a buy trade at 1.79p so someone was even more lucky than I was. I do not know why you could not get a quote lower than 3.42, may be your quote was a couple minutes into trading or your but Interactive Investor quoted me 2p then slightly above a minute into trading after which it rose strongly. I accept I was remarkably lucky with timing- such timing and dramatic rise in SP has never happened to me before and probably will not happen again but to suggest some people who claim to buy low and high are fakes because your lowest buy quote was higher is not really on. I cannot offer an explanation why your first or lowest quote was 3.42. All I know quotes to buy started below 2p with Interactive Investor (there was a buy trade at 1.79 showing) and my first quote to buy with Interactive was 2p, 50 seconds into trading then immediately after it started to rise when I bought. Then sold within half hour.

Further to my earlier post I guessed there may be a surge in buying interest after Friday SP fall and possible fall on opening following disappointing drill outcome. I bought on opening fall but I was gobsmacked at the dramatic bounce back within minutes. Never expected that dramatic turnaround. Unlike on the LP news last week when I did not sell part of my holdings when the SP rose significantly as I normally do, this time I stuck to normal strategy and sold all the newly acquired shares this morning for 91% nett profit. Do not recall such an event in my 40+ years of investing. I do not expect that to happen again! Helped to offset some of fall since Friday on my main holding. Will top up my main holding again if SP drops back but I am not expecting it to give me that opportunity. SP is very low for what the prospects are in my opinion. But Petro Matad has been extremely profitable for me for trading alongside my main holdings to date. Still very optimistic.

I normally part of holdings on any significant rise but chose not to last week as I felt the SP would rise more. With hindsight I should have stucknto my normal strategy but I am still optimistic. However as I have mentioned in previous comments there are risks with exploration and news of an unsuccessful drill is news that us likely sometimes and we got such news this morning. Well the silver lining is possibly an opportunity to buy more on any price fall. Perhaps many have reflected over the weekend that Fridays SP fall seemed an opportunity to buy in on Monday. If so along market reaction to disappointment on drilling there could a surge in buying today in this new soon to be producer of oil. SP may not drop significantly after all but if it does I am buying more.

I have profitably traded this share for years in addition to ensuring I have shares for the longer term. For the first time I think I am not selling some after a 50 % rise which I would normally consider doing. The blocks of shares I hold now became profitable at 1.764p (that was a well timed buy), 4.248p and 4.9975p. In my opinion the risk/reward is clearly skewed to the upside. Once oil actually flows the company will be financially stable, an actual producer of oil with a vast exploration area in Mongolia they can look at capitalising on. They are looking into "green" areas of energy and news of drilling at its other site is awaited. There is the possibility of disappointment with drilling for oil but PM is going to have wheelbarrows of cash coming in hopefully when the oil actually flows and when the economies of the world return to good growth with an increasing oil price certain to follow PM share price will react strongly in both circumstances. I thought the SP would rise more this morning than it has but oil has yet to flow and news of drilling elsewhere is awaited. All positive but we need that tangible news the Heron oil is actually being commercially pumped up for SP to react strongly. We may have a negative setback of a penny or two if results at the other site disappoint, but nothing will stop a rising SP once confirmation of first oil flowing from Heron comes in my opinion. I am holding my shares tightly.

I always sell part of my holdings on rumoured or actual bid news and sold 70% of my Ocado shares at 613 on the news that Amazon might bid. I was glad I did when the SP dropped back hard. But strength in recent days suggest something might be afoot, bid or otherwise. Perhaps it has got one or more grocers around the world about to take up its patented technology upon which its future depends. Still happy with my sale at 613p and with 30% holding of original shares being in at a nett cost of 503p after my recent sale I am happy to hold but will not be buying more now I am in profit. A bid will be icing on the cake but despite risks on the downside, if it continues to make heavy losses, I do not want to be out of this share at present.

I agree that something "must be in the air" in view of the rally in the share price. I am thinking the lyrics if a song by 5th Dimension aptly apply to recent rally and hopefully get to new highs on what news is coming.......hopefully.

Obviously I am not happy with what has happened here but I am not rushing to sell. It seems the worst scenario is 1p per share in a mandatory sale of my shares. However in April they said that in addition to the 3.385 billion new shares to each of ZQ Capital and Southern Fox under a share subscription at 1p each......."it also plans to offer existing shareholders, including ZQ Capital and Southern Fox the chance to buy up to 689.5 million new shares at the discounted price under an open offer. ZQ Capital has agreed to underwrite the open offer and subscribe for any shares not taken up" I wait for further information on this as it may be a way of getting more shares at 1p and staying with the company, even if it goes private. Admittedly trading in private company shares is not as easy as when listed but if the company turns itself and comes back to the market the gains could be substantial. ZQ Capital and Southern Fox see potential and if the open offer to existing shareholders comes I see an opportunity. I have been with a listed company before that went private, decided to keep my shares, remain with the private company rather than take the cash for my shares, and more than doubled my money when they relisted. Not saying this will happen here but I do not see this totally negative yet so wait for further information.

I bought more this morning after the fall back on the update. I have long term holdings in Petro Matad but because of volatility in this share I trade as well which has been profitable to date. Even if there are setbacks and the SP falls I have belief in this company and its potential. If my trading buys become additions to longer term holdings I am just as happy. Been out today and found the post referring to Manxkeepers first post. Having read it I agree it is an excellent post and "post of the day" comment by Hamm is deserved. Welcome.

I bought last week at 58 and sold at 69.67 2 hours later on the day confirmation of the bid being off and am looking to buy again today. Not expecting a dramatic upturn as last week on the day the deal being off was announced but I still hold the view it will stabilise around 80p over the short term as people appreciate the SP is very low for the opportunities ahead for THG for corporate activity let alone making progress sales/profit wise. Just my opinion. I trade in THG as well as holding long term. I always sell part of holdings on a bid in case it falls through and sold part of my holding at 114p. Sometimes I miss out on further rises and other times, like this time in THG, it paid off. But the value of my long term holdings have fallen this last week along with everyone else's but we are still up on the year.

A hit 1967 song by The 5th Dimension springs to mind.

Realists knew it could go either way. I expect a fall in the SP but I do not think the fall may not be that much. We have already fallen back in recent days and we were in tge 60's before the Apollo interest. There are positives going forward and takeover speculation will continue, the golden share goes in September, premium listing is on the cards and leading shareholders will press for change where they see where it is necessary. If the price drops into the low 60's or below I will add, but I still hold the view we will stabilise soon at around 80p.

I agree with SageofClapham that I do not see the SP falling to 60p. It may do on the initial reaction to Apollo walking away but I see it bouncing very quickly and stabilising around 80p as I thought in my previous post recently. I will certainly add if it does drop to the 60's as I see the pendulum swinging in THG's favour. We know Apollo sees value when the SP was in the 60's, we know a premium listing is on the cards, trading is moving towards cash flow positive if all goes to plan and MM's golden share/veto to a takeover offer goes in 4 months. In the medium term I see a good return on the current share price but buying before news expected by Monday latest is a short term gamble. SP could fall to 60p before bouncing or rocket to over £1 depending on outcome of discussions between Apollo and THG and the RNS we want. One thing is certain. We will get the

news today, tomorrow or Monday. Hoping for a firm offer from Apollo to be announced but ready to buy more if they walk away and SP drops to the 60's. An extension to Monday's deadline I will view as positive but just leaves us in this short term guessing game for longer. Today's SP after recent days fall back is a good entry point if you are looking longer term (perhaps with big gains short term on a firm bid) but expect a big initial fall in the SP if Apollo walks away.

One thing is for sure. We will get news from THG this week or Monday next

latest. I do not expect much volatility in the share price until that news comes, barring any leaks/rumours or news items like last week. If there is no bid the SP will fall without doubt but I do not see the price falling way back to the 60's before the interest by Apollo. Because Apollo saw some value when the SP was in the 60's and we believe THG is on the turn, a premium listing is on the cards and the golden share held by MM is going in the autumn I guess the SP will settle at around 80p after the initial downward reaction. I would add in that downturn.

If a formal bid is announced then it all depends on the price where the SP goes up to (assuming it is well above £1 which would seem a foregone conclusion). Then there is a possibility of others expressing interest and showing their hand. An ideal scenario if it happens. The other possibility is an extension to next Monday's deadline for Apollo to declare a formal bid or not. I hold for a positive outcome at some point be it in the next few days or longer whatever the outcome of the talks between Apollo and THG results in. If you are thinking of buying THG shares for the first time, getting back in or adding now the only advice is do not use money you need in the short term. The SP could rocket from here but it also could come down significantly just for the short term if Apollo walks away. We will get an update for sure over the next 5 trading days including today.
