No I sold my entire holding as it’s just too volatile for my constitution! Could be further falls yet I reckon as time passes with no news. Interesting option though. I will sit and watch but not buying myself until further more positive news. Good Luck and I hope things improve in the very short term. . .

Well no obviously but the Rampers and overall aggression shown to, quite literally, anyone who had a contrarian view really made me think. This is a punt and attracts some fairly aggressive people. Not a good thing as it attracts panic buyers and panic sellers in equal measure. That’s a recipe for pump and dump. Seen it just too many times on AIM. Good Luck either way, but maybe the board needs to tone it down a bit, as it will become expensive when people sell, like today. Over and Out.

And I’m very grateful that I did. That said I cashed in a loss of £903. However, if I had NOT sold, then my loss today would be £1,780. The reason I sold? The horrendously naff “ramping” here over the last week! It was SO over the top, that it made me think that I had bought into a classic ‘boiler room’ pump and dump AIM stock. It was just SO much, that it made me change my mind about this company and my (substantial) investment here. So, it doesn’t always pay to “ramp” like crazy guys; it puts people off and makes them sell rather than buy. Sad really as EUR might do quite well. Could be 1p next month - but it could be 5p. Best not to ramp it though, as people will sell. . . .

yes, I'm liking a truffle pig, sniffing out opportunities - and I see one here! ATB

Headline: "Petra Diamonds Bounces Back After 12 Month Rout Despite Problems in China"
'Petra Diamonds’ shares have tumbled almost 77 per cent this year as the very biggest and smallest miners have all warned they are having trouble selling their sparkly wares. But South Africa-focused Petra was given a boost yesterday, rising 4.9 per cent, or 0.41p, to 8.83p, after brokers at Peel Hunt started covering the stock with a ‘buy’ rating and a bullish 18p target price on its stock. Analysts believe the company, which operates the Cullinan mine behind the namesake diamond in the Crown Jewels, is ‘far healthier than it seems’. Its shares offer ‘a compelling story’, Peel Hunt says, and the management are doing everything in their power to trim costs as the diamond market tightens, offering a great opportunity to buy up now while they’re cheap, they believe'. End of Article.

is precisely and exactly why AIM shares lack credibility. It's not even uncommon; hence why folk panic buy and then panic sell. The very people that make you smile at 11am will make you cry at 11.05am!

I'd suggest that you wouldn't bet against it. A close of +5% was my hunch, just after 8am, when we were down over 12%! . . . . ATB

It's 8.24am. I said up by 5% by the 'close of play'! This could reverse out very easily by then.

Precisely Bellers. A very prudent and brave RNS in my opinion.

That the issuance of a RNS can violently move this share price down and not up! Too many folk have been way too presumptuous here. They are reminding shareholders that a deal ‘might’ not even happen; so we should temper our enthusiasm somewhat! Great of course, if a deal happens but it ‘might’ not. For me at least I think the BoD have been prudent to issue that note. That said, I expect some of yesterday’s percentage losses to be gained back. Perhaps +5% by close of play? A juicy prospect this one, but not one without substantial risk (classic AIM stock basically!). . .ATB

Andre01 I remember that day! It was lunch time and I was out of the office so could do nothing about it (thank God as it went right back up again, in less than one hour!). Problem is "The House" always wins in the AIM Casino...always!! Joke for 'investing'. Suitable only for 'gambling'

Nice find KB. Surely, we are now primed to move up to nearer to the £2 mark!? Crazy that this company (appears) is still under the radar. . . .ATB

is totally to be expected and especially following such a strong run recently. A 4p finish would still be an excellent result though. . .

why the major Institutions are not all over this or why we have not had a rerate. Top Line growing fast here so the share price should respond. . . Nice RNS

No! But as it is Friday tomorrow you may well see folk closing their positions for the weekend. Not what I'd be doing, but it happens a lot on a Friday afternoon. ATB

Indeed not insignificant. If this doesn’t move us today, then nothing will! Bango will be on multiple radars I suspect, for possible takeover bids; especially at this price. All going very quickly in the right direction so the share will catch up soon no doubt. . .ATB

... I did all I could to actively discourage people from buying these worthless shares when they were at 8p. But no, they bought and carried on “topping up” (SUCH a naff expression!) at 6p, 5p, 4p etc. This company was always going to go bust; but folk kept on trying to catch the old falling knife. . .only one winner here! May he enjoy his retirement, in the sun...on our money! ! !

See what I meant yesterday?! We just needed to get past 52p; clearly there is Institutional interest here. Good Week for Saga. ATB

cliffst85 - firstly “hello”! Secondly, I could not agree more. Especially about the Vadim Alexander interview. He was banging on about Iclaprim essentially (obviously this is a couple of weeks prior to the actual final FDA decision), being basically “de-risked”, having passed Phase III trials. Well, what a load of hairy arsed boll*cks that was! This company, I truly hope, will go bust; it deserves nothing more. Sorry to those that might have a few pounds left here, but seriously, sell your shares and buy your mates a pint down the pub. You’ll feel 1,000% more rewarded for it emotionally. And even if you have no mates, then sell anyway as, very soon, your investment will be worth absolutely nothing. Even £100 has to be better than nothing surely (Rhetorical question, so no answers required).
