Where are we now13 Aug 2025 12:16
Been away for a bit for personal reasons and haven't really paid too much attention to things, so have come back today to take a look at the state of play.
----First off, let me say, that as things stand-------------its all in the price.
---We've had Yunus spouting "next Gov should use own coal ", --we've had a placing, which then killed momentum, --and then we've had two or three tipsters pilling all their naïve retail customers in at the top, which gave us a spike at about 7.20, and that has proved to be the ceiling at this state of play.
--As those "thundering herd buyers" (remember ML) ran out of puff, then without any new news, a pull back was always on the cards.
---Buying limits filled in at 6.25 and below, until all the PI cash was spent, and then pull the plug------good market making.----Then it has just been a case of one step up, two steps down, until the weak holders lost their nerve and allowed the MM's to close their shorts---------------again ----good market making.
--Now where ??
-Feb Elections (Yawn) that's all in the price------- and no mention of "own coal" again, ----and now we are where we are.
-So what's going to spring life back into things--------could be a repeat of any of the past events from earlier this year, in the form of another round of tipsters---------but they will just produce another trading opportunity, and again a spike of somewhere around the 7.20 level.
---We could REALLY do with seeing the BNP manifesto, and seeing Phulbari talked about again, that would shift us to the moon,----- but I think we will have to wait closer to Feb before we see anything like that.-so we're a bit thread bare at the moment, and maybe we'll just wallow around for another few weeks yet.
---but
---Having said that, MM have a job to do, and mouths to feed--they need turnover, and at some stage, they will have to change the SP basis to generate interest again.
-Could this be the right level to move them back up from ???---------I think it could be.
-It's a good chart support level (4p ish) and the panicky sellers have dried up---and a few well orchestrated buys could easily turn the tide--------certainly get the feeling that all those small buys of today, are maybe just a MM trying a bit of fishing to see if they can encourage others to bite.------------Everybody like to see a bit of Blue, even if the whole lots only adds up to a few quid, but it may be enough to stop the rot, and steady the ship.
-Is this a good level to buy ?-----could well prove to be,---- for the LTH
-Is this a good level to buy -for the Day Traders-----only just------------we should rise from here, but without news, i'm not expecting many fireworks.
-All just my opinion.
