If anyone is here anymore, I just asked Simon Thompson about yesterday's large dip. He reckons its more profit taking and nothing to worry about. It seems odd to me that it comes in these surges that aren't always at price peaks, but I guess as a few start to do it, others panic, and rush to take their profits. ST reiterated his target of 200p (this was yesterday, in the comments under his column, if there are any IC subscribers here).

Update makes for good reading!

Just topped up a little while the market is still having its post bank holiday hangover. Can't see any reason for this dip, so it was time for some boot-filling.

Yikes! Anybody know what's going on? Down over 8% today, even for a small float stock like this that's steep!

Volume over 3m today, normally around 500k, and price up 7.3% - with no news to explain it. Only on AIM, folks...

Historically these seems to come around mid April, so looking forward to an update in the next few days. Seems to have fallen back since spiking on Simon Thompson's tip.

Well if you look at the trades it has been a lot of gain for a small number of buys, which suggests a small free float of shares available to public. The outlook for this company is good and the market has been slow to cotton on despite recommendation by Simon Thompson. Next trading update should see this pass £1, and long term could be far higher.

Testing 160p today! Still some profit taking each time it spikes, but there's a clear trajectory here. Deservedly so, as the company is in good health. Simon Thompson reckons there's 200p to be had here, so even people buying now are looking at over 25% potential uplift. http://www.investorschronicle.co.uk/2017/03/20/comment/simon-thompson/going-for-growth-f0ffiQ9hSMDVZIZFq9AhmM/article.html

Tipped again in today's ST column. Reckons estimates will be surpassed in forthcoming trading update, and says his 56p target price is now likely too modest! Great share.

The excellent poster Lentjes over on ADVFN has worked out what happened yesterday. There were 2 director sells - not because of any problem with the company (on the contrary), but because they needed to sell a smidge to use up their capital gains tax allowance (the 'Annual Exempt Amount') before the end of the tax year, and wisely chose to do at on a nice high point. The fact that they're maximising their CGT allowance for next year is an extremely good sign that they're expecting significant growth for the year ahead. This is a fascinating case study of when a director sell is actually a buying signal.

On its way back up again this morning. The share price spike of the last month was based on genuine growth and good news, so the temporary dip from this profit taking sell off was never going to last. To anyone who bought yesterday: bravo, that's how you trade!

Agreed Mark, I'm just deciding what to sell to free up some funds to top up while this is below 150 for a bit. I find some PI's really bizarre, such a strange time to take profits when we're right in the midst of huge growth for this company, and the whole company and its products are geared around growth and scaling. Ain't nobody having any of my shares, that's for sure.

I was expecting some profit taking today... but this is pretty mad! Anyone know what's happening?

Yep Slowburner, I just hope that's enough. Danal are Korean, but apparently have routes into China, forgive my ignorance on this as I've only been in BGO for a few months. From the Bango investor Q&A page: 'Q: What is the DCB opportunity for Bango in China given that Google Play is not active there? A: Bango does not currently plan to establish a direct presence in China. Bango will be supporting Danal in activating Chinese merchants through the Bango Payment Platform, and Bango will be supporting its major global customers with their plans to enter China, including their use of Danal billing routes. Danal has an extensive payment infrastructure in China, for example in support of its products which enable Chinese citizens to spend money outside China.' Not sure why they don't want a direct presence in China, and whether Danal is a big enough portal for indirect entry. I literally don't know, this beyond my knowledge, if anyone knows more about this please do share.

Just to temper my own enthusiasm a little - a lot of the growth is in Chinese app stores, so the strategic imperative for Bango to do deals with Chinese Android app stores is more vital than ever.

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/29/app-annie-2017-spending-projections-android-apple-app-store.html Bango is dependent on Android app sales, and this report is highly optimistic, with growth in both user spend and the actual size of the user pool. This is becoming my favourite stock in my AIM pile now, just seems to have caught the zeitgeist with the right product. Excited for the future.

THIS BOARD WILL NEVER DIE

Result of AGM: 'Amino Technologies plc (LSE: AMO), the Cambridge-based provider of digital entertainment solutions for IPTV, Internet TV and in-home multimedia distribution, announces that at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held earlier today at the offices of finnCap, all resolutions put to the meeting were duly passed.' That's literally it. Ugh.
