People need to understand that while sometimes share price increase is very sentiment driven and powered by the arrival of the fabled 'herd', most significant increases are down to hard results or rumour of hard results. Not news or plans, but hard results. E.g. Planning to order equipment does not qualify as 'results'. Using that equipment to generate lots of cash does.
If you've watched enough Dragon's Den then you'll have seen many overly optimistic entrepreneurs enter with their massive business valuations based on predictions, not hard results. Then Theo Paphitis or Peter Jones gives them an ear bashing for not knowing how to value a business and tells them that right now their baby is only worth a pound and not the million they thought it was.
Well, if you think that Alba is suddenly worth more right now on the basis of positive thoughts and future plans then Theo and Peter have some news for you! (It's not good).
Buy here for the future positive RESULTS. Don't expect large returns without them.
You can use the results vs news principle on all AIM stocks. I'm not saying that's a hard and fast rule - I mentioned sentiment earlier, right? UKOG got to 11p after all on no hard results at all. But in my bitter, painful AIM experience the rule applies more than it doesn't.
