We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
The only person who seems to be consistently correct here is the person who keeps spouting "why are we here? 2p should be a distant memory soon"
They're right for the wrong reasons. It doesn't matter what anyone here thinks as it's the market that sets the price and they definitely don't like it. Don't worry though KTF will keep topping up and averaging down. Off for a sail soon with my earnings from this (now) dog. Cheers all
I don't know if this helps at all?
Introduced in 1997, SETS is the London Stock Exchange’s flagship electronic order book. It is a further evolution from SEAQ. For instance, whereas SEAQ can be visualised as having brought together market makers on one screen – rather than them being stood on the floor of the stock exchange, serving brokers who served clients – SETS can be imagined as a ledger where everyone is free to enter bids and offers, which are matched if possible.
So, for instance, rather than simply five market makers providing five bids and five offers for a particular security on SEAQ, for example, the SETS order book represents all registered offers and bids at a selection of different prices from whoever has access and a desire to transact, as orders can be placed by brokers, market makers, traders and private individuals directly.
The operation of SETS is automated and, as such, much more efficient. Moreover, it drives down the costs associated with the risks taken by market makers to facilitate the market, such as the size of the spread. It also provides investors a close-up view of the equilibrium of the market, depicting the balance of supply and demand for a particular stock. In turn, this offers an insight as to how the price might move in the short-term.
However, due to the fact that an automated market needs a large amount of liquidity passing through it to work effectively, only the biggest stocks are included as SETS stocks. Therefore, only the most heavily traded AIM shares feature on this trading system. As of 6th January, 2019, there are 157 AIM companies traded via SETS.
I thought it was erm, umm an extremely erm, err, difficult erm err listen. I hope they come back over the next couple of years as a great model. I sold most of my holding around the hype and I'm extremely glad I did as i've been holding since 'Doberman' dark days. Still got 500 at £14 as I thought they couldn't go lower but all the in-house squabbling has done a lot of damage. Good luck everyone here
I'm such an idiot, I only hold 5000 plus of these. Go flick yourself. Filtered, k nob
I'm grateful for the FREE price updates, keep on helping us out . You can filter the annoying personnel. Cheers
Hiya Tovoc, great idea but not practical, nor feasible.
RNS saying " We are in talks with Spotify, Amazon, Facebook, Sainsburys, Tesla and TikTok re possible takeover. Wait and see ! " That'll certainly steady the ship :)
Lor 9, exactly what I was going to say. Mad mad madPutin hasn't helped at all More importantly, if there are ongoing T/O talks, management will be in a closed period ie not allowed to buy stock so can't reassure investors with purchases such as Mr Tobin has been known to do. However these potential talks/bids /take over offers take a while to sort especially with the figures involved so I wouldn't overly worry. If you are brave enough use this as a buying opportunity. I will.
What? I'm still here :) Snapped up a few the other day. Hang on tight guys
Spot on Soundman, a brilliant day for market makers. Perfect storm territory. War breeds uncertainty and market insecurity obviously and the thought of a take over here means they want stock at the right price. They need stock as there is so little about in this particular one. I doubt they're getting any of ours in the short term, with a bid imminent. I just hope the fools stirring up trouble come to their senses. WAR DOES NOT WORK. Good evening all
I was hoping to snaffle a bit of cheap stock thanks to Mad Putin but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I hope to God this idiocy doesn't go too far. Don't leaders ever learn?
Indeed. there is definitely something afoot, as why would there be Sky news and the Wail on Sunday writing articles otherwise? Until we get official news, it is only rumour as you say, but I'm really looking forward to which one steps up to the mark first. Let the bidding begin !
£30 easily
Fear not, Tovoc. I like you, think this worth much more. With Q! figures weeks away we will get a better idea of our true worth. Were you around in the Rob Proctor days? He did an interview with his then partner in the business ( both since moved on) saying that he thought/ was in talks with Audible and they were going to buy them and I'm pretty sure that was back in 2014 so Amazon already have a very good idea what this 'jewel' is about, and it is now much more established compared to then. Hopefully we'll keep ticking gently upwards. Good luck all
It used to be a pleasure reading this board. The price has rocketed and you fools are constantly sniping. We're all making good money so be happy. There are a hell of a lot of people far far worse off than us. Grow up
I did mention a few weeks back that 18 (pence in olden times, squids now), would be the high. As I said then, there will be a few sellers at this level. Once £18 + is breached and holds, then a further good rise is on the cards. Personally I think we'll see some profit takers at the end of the week but Monday should see a steady rise again. I had a lovely few days in Wales so this has been a pleasant surprise to come back to.
Cheers
You're quite right Mr B, the fundamentals here haven't changed so it may be a time to load up a few more. It depends how long Russia/Ukraine/ Yanks draw the potential punch-up out before the market settles. I'll switch off for a while. Cheers
I wish I hadn't spoken ! Soz
Seeing as how the Dow dropped almost 5% last week alone, on tech stock activity (mostly), we seem to have held up extremely well. Looking forward to a better week next week, hopefully.
Thanks, Tovoc . I am looking forward to some interesting updates.
Morning Crawshaw, overnight tech drops in Asia with the Microsoft deal and Sony dropping 10% will have weakened this sector for a while. Nothing to be concerned about. Good idea to grab cheap -ish stock
Yes, also a valid point :)
