looking over their posting histories, both appear to be left-overs from the PPA days. they were invested in that previous incarnation of this company [run by different people, doing different business] and lost chunks of money as PPA ground itself deeper and deeper into the doo-doo. so i suppose they both might still have a legitimate interest from owning a tiny amount of PPA shares converted into ASTA. -- but a bit hard to see otherwise what their motivation is for posting. both seem rather stuck in the bombed-out PPA past, rather than understanding that ASTA is a different company, different CEO/Chair, different focus, different prospects. (poor old notsopodgy has been steadily advising people not to invest from back about 1.15/1.20 days. gotta admire that commitment, if not the accuracy.) meanwhile, seems unlikely tilly on asta payroll, lol, since astar is lean and mean with low overheads and low cashburn, able to keep office costs low through use of cornhill facilities, and with ceo / chair motivated by growing the value of their substantial equity interest, rather than receiving large cash paycheques.....

being taught this morning about how even a modest volume pushes the price up v sharpish. and this is on no news..... (just some people beginning to notice mexican legislature is indeed getting on with it and that the company will be re-branding) lesson from this morning should be, just think how hard it would be to acquire a decent stake when the news comes on assets/ventures/license acquisitions (& indeed, news on NEDS / BoD additions would also be well worth study, since we are operating in a part of the world where who you know matters big time)

i know i'm being a bit pedantic here, sorry! ... mexico not in south america.

np bg. lots of action yet to come, gonna be a good few months.

biggib, see resolution 7 for agm http://astarminerals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/2014-Notice-of-AGM.pdf

"lawmakers reserved dozens of articles for further debate before a final vote." lol, just imagine the haggling and back-scratching, pork-barrel politics gone loco

nice and peaceful. enjoy the rest before newsflow. stock too small and illiquid to be a good plaything for day traders. so instead we await events on the ground.

lol, i like to be gloomy. much less room for nasty surprises that way. but i must be a bit of an optimist in a way to put some of my money in aim. have a good weekend.

the snag will be, certainly are some here holding but planning to sell on what they hope will be a decent news spike, and are not actually investors per se.. so the ride will be volatile. aim small cap, how could it be otherwise?

nice peaceful bb. good place for a craft kip. no news to drive us currently, a few small sells, but also a few decent 4fig buys over last few days. sp has not declined sharply in absence of news, even yesterday when many aim stocks down quite sharp. - perhaps suggests a decent percentage of the shares are with fairly sticky holders like me, chas, my21? likely interest for livelier trader types with rem, msmn, log, afpo? rose? oct? over last few days.

a little more today.

at 2.27 is a buy

patience. watch for the newsflow. share can/should only go so far on anticipation and potential alone. nice enough to have some rises over a few days that can let a few early profit-takers out, and let a few others in. reasonable liquidity given the tiny mcap, (other than the other afternoon when mms had to pretty much close the market for last 30 mins) build a nice profile rather than crazy gaps and spikes. name change will be nice pr tho.

nice try riddler, you tried your best, worthwhile, down to others if they chose not to listen.

Tilly, bang on post.

on a reddish day across many other stocks. some reasonable liquidity today, decent smattering of buys and sells both without sp gapping around. nice to see close on the big figure.

sprint, not spring, but you know what i mean.

getting a bit neck and neck here with afpo .... who will put on the spring first? all good harmless fun.

what's not to like? all this and REM too ++ this morning, and dear lil' AFPO also stirring nicely too. good start to the week.

firm and plump sp today... tried a couple of dummy trades, they seem happy enough to bid 1.77 for half million of my shares, not that i am selling any at this level thanks. sp maintained well from yesterday despite no additonal news flow. actual trading prices yesterday between 1.70-1.75 for a fair old while, tho' spread advertised as 1.70-1.85 ( - hence as ever buys/sells mis-logged - ), with a little tick up in the afternoon towards the upper end of quoted range, held up well enough this morning.
