Bid currently exceeding the Ask! Very rare to see that. 4p paid.

Up +33% now. Price ticking up on the Ask. High-value diamonds pushing revenue up much higher than expected.

This has got 100-200% today written all over it 🎯

Yup, AMGO did +300% in a few days, and +2,000% in a matter of weeks.

At a £0.5m marcap, even the slightest whiff of good news here, such as an RTO, will send this thru the roof 🚀

Tesco has been a joke for the past ~20 years. Getting outsmarted at home by Aldi and Lidl, while throwing in the towel overseas. Interesting to see Walmart hit a $1 trillion valuation today, with its share price leaping +1,000% in 20 years. Tesco has plunged -30% in 20 years! To think, Tesco and Walmart were considered international peers in the 2000s, one of the big 3 global supermarkets, alongside Carrefour. Now, Tesco is -97% smaller than Walmart! Really puts into perspective just how much of a joke Tesco has become.

It is bizarre how people over-obsess about "trade deals". They are *vastly overrated* tools of trade. The reality never matches the hype. The world's no.1 largest and richest economy (US) has no trade deal with the EU. The world's no.1 largest exporter (China) has no trade deal with the EU. You don't need trade deals to get rich or big. Britain's problem is not trade deals, it's a lack of national self-confidence, lack of finance (investment), and a collective national failure to understand even basic behavioural economics.

You see the same nonsense with trade "tariffs". Everyone in the UK going nuts about Trump tariffs in 2025. Having no clue what they are, what they do, and how they work on the ground. Fast-forward 9 months, and the US economy is rocketing at +5%, the UK declines at 0%, and everyone (secretly) wishing they had Trump's golden tariff touch!

The US economy grew at +4% in Q4 2025, and is on track for +5% in Q1 2026. We're almost halfway thru the quarter, giving the (respected) Atlanta Fed good visibility for the full quarter. The +5% growth looks on the money. The US economy is the best, richest and strongest on Earth, and it almost always surprises to the upside.

With UK GDP at 0% growth, and the EU struggling to eke out 1%, the US's 4-5% run-rate is many many times stronger than Britain and Europe. What's more, given the US economy is 8 times bigger than the UK, and soon to be double the size of the EU, the US growth rate of 5% is simply beyond staggering. The UK-US and EU-US wealth gap is now becoming a chasm, like the difference between West Germany and East Germany.

Bitcoin in freefall (again). Dropping like a stone, down 5-10% in a few hours today.

Gunsup,

Those US consumer surveys are not worth the paper they're written on. They engineer negative readings, to make headlines. The surveys have been highly negative for two decades or more, but the US consumer continues to spend (and borrow) like a drunken sailor. US GDP currently rocketing at +5%, which is staggering.

Simpleinvestor,

Stop using ChatGPT. Post your own answers 😉

Silver nearly halved in a week. That's a crash, by any measure.

US GDP is growing at a +5% rate. UK GDP is "growing" at a 0% rate. US economy is firing on all cylinders. The strongest anywhere in the world right now. Whether that's enough to stop the contagion of fear spreading from crypto to metals to Wall Street in Feb remains to be seen.

Silver has crashed due to margin calls (buyers) and oversold paper futures unable to meet physical metal delivery for Mar / Apr (sellers) on Comex in NY. One of the biggest bubbles of all time has just popped.

Bitcoin crashed -35% in Q4 2025.

Silver has crashed -40% in Q1 2026.

Gold, platinum and palladium have crashed 10-30% in Q1 2026.

One by one, the markets are coming crashing down 📉

Keep an eye on US stocks in Feb 👍

Silver spot price is in full-blown freefall, down -35% in a few hours. Metals market has gone nuts.

Gold, silver, palladium and platinum crashing another 5-20% today. Absolutely tanking. The metals rally looks like it's peaked.

Looks like EME have a 2% share of Mako (not 8%). The RNS is horrible word-salad mess.

SAP crashed -17% today, like Microsoft, due to slower cloud growth. Starting to see some cracks in the US and global tech narrative.

Gold and silver crashing 5-10%, oil soaring 5%, Microsoft crashing 12% on cloud slowdown, earnings season overall mixed, AI bubble still to be popped. US is having a wobble, for the first time in a while.

Surprised they haven't done a placing yet. They seem to be running on fumes. Just a few k of cash left in the bank.

The pricing is nuts. AMGO has quadrupled on the back of a vague RNS about looking at a satellite flying over a bit of East Africa! It's beyond ridiculous.
