@ Super

Here's the para from last RNS.

"Application will be made for the 96,399,279 new Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange Main Market (“Admission”). Dealings are expected to commence on or around 23 October 2025."

So another 96.3m from Thursday. Currently at 2.29bn. So that's about 4%. Hopefully they won't dump them all in one go. But if this does get to the 1s again I'll top up given we could have a contract announcement on Halloween which isn't that far away!!!

I did say "one swallow doesn't make a summer". I'd be tempted to top up if we go sub 2p.

It's not a joke about the name of the tv series. The joke is based on the fact that the person is in effect asking WHOM am I speaking to. Whom is correct because you wouldn't say "I'm speaking to he". You'd say "I'm speaking to him". When him/her is used in the same context then it's whom. When he/she is used in the same context then it's who. "Who's there?" is correct because this situation can be answered with "he's there".

I'm a bit of a spelling and grammar pedant.

Here's a joke for you all.

Knock, knock

Who's there?

Doctor

Doctor who?

It's doctor whom actually!!

Agreed GoldieLock. SWC was a pump and dump as well but as I've posted before my mistake was to think it would get pumped at lot higher before completely deflating very quickly (over about 2 months). Kinda a mini pump and dump compared to SWC!!!

*stabilised

It feels like this has stabslised. No big swings this morning with relatively light trading transactions and volumes. It seems all those with big paper profits that want to cash in have done so. But one swallow doesn't make a summer!

...We normally get a big drop at the bell! Nice to get a rise. Could be the turning point.

Sorry WESTCOUNTRYBRO I hadn't realised you've never made a mistake trading. You must be a multi millionaire.

It is healthy to admit when you've made a mistake, learn, and then move on to hopefully do better next time. Personally I don't believe anyone on these boards that claims they've never made a poor investment decision.

Wouldn't it be funny if it was Tom Winnifrith!!!

@21ATS - Not that clueless! I'm not lost any money on this or any other share!

I was looking at this with the experience of The Smarter Web Company in mind. I thought it would go the same way but it didn't.

I bought MILA yesterday at 1.71p. A big mistake retail investors make is not jumping back in after selling at a lower level. If you don't do that you're missing out on future gains.

@40034427 - it was a pump and dump and I knew it. Unfortunately I thought it would be pumped up to The Smarter Web Company levels and it got nowhere near it so I didn't jump off at the right time. The most annoying part is I thought MILA was going no where for a long time so in early August I sold 1m shares at 0.5p to buy here at about 3.9p. Big error! MILA now 1.9p!!!

I am more fortunate than some though as I did make some money from this. Others have sadly lost quite a lot of money!

He can't polish a turd. No one can!!!

But you'd have had £4,840 for every £100 you'd invested six months ago and just held. But an extra 22% via trading is not to be sniffed at!

If you'd have followed British Bulls on this stock you'd have turned every £100 to £6k over the last 6 months! Who says this can't be traded??!! 😉😜

Is 62% of shares held by institutional investors high?

Yes, 62% institutional ownership is considered high, as it indicates a majority of the company's shares are held by large investors like mutual funds or pension funds. This level of ownership is often seen as a positive sign of credibility and can allow these institutions to collectively wield significant influence over company decisions.

Significant influence: A 62% stake means institutional investors have substantial power and are likely to influence board decisions and strategic direction.

Market validation: High institutional ownership can suggest that professional investors view the company favorably, as they have conducted their due diligence and are willing to invest large sums.

Potential risk: While generally positive, it's important to note that institutional investors can also sell shares rapidly. If many institutions decide to sell at once, it could lead to a quick drop in the share price.

Context is key: The significance of this percentage can vary depending on the company. For large-cap companies, this level is common, but for smaller companies, it might be even more indicative of strong institutional backing

It's actually 62%. I got 40% from memory. Sorry!

They won't be selling anytime soon!

I've shared this before. As I said I don't follow his advice but it is useful for facts.
