Again & personally have no issues with Tricky, or the other couple of posters here (Vaux etc?) You seem to have had spates with in a few posts Mxguy.
I have read very interesting inputs from these guys in the past. Do I hang on their every words. No. But just as with you, I read all inputs and take a view I guess.

But sure, do accept some people just dont get on.
Though jeez it's a short life, so as right as you may feel you are.... perhaps be the bigger man & move on.

I have to date only one person on here I lack a bit of respect for. He filters me, I ignore his trading rhetoric bull... blah blah.

BUT ...There is so much more positive stuff to gain here from others views J do assure you.

That's my approach. But you take yours of course.
Just my view & good luck with your investment.
Rgrds.

Personally I am not accusing you or anyone else of posting negative or indeed overly positive stuff Mxguy. I will listen to both with an open mind. If your views are well considered, and make sense you can say what you like as far as I am concerned. I myself - check my post history here & elsewhere dislike rampers and de-rampers in equal measure! No time for the 50p by COP or 1p as it's all s*it traders in equal measure.
All I would say is give people a chance mate. Dont take undo umbrage. No point in joining a board and prickling for arguments from day one. If you have things to say make your point with clarity and conviction, but dont look for conflict. Logic mostly outs those without.... Those not involved in you several seeming arguments (from a quick scan of your posts), will judge you opinions on there merits dont worry.

Hi Mxguy.

Just catching up on the board after a time away. Guess I am a mid term holder of a few fyi.
No need to take any umbridge one way or the other.
The people here, almost to a person are, in my experience knowledgable and helpful.
We are all in it for the same thing:
A successful company, and a resultant enhanced share price.
It's a bit annoying to see the recent slip from 10p to high 7s. But the prospects and assets on finance news make those swings quite bearable IMO.
I bought in at the 3s and up. Avg now 5.01 but never felt talked down by the 1.8p guys, nor in any way superior to the 8p avg investors.

It's a far more level headed set than pretty much any other LSE I have read.
If you are genuine you will be listened too regardless of your view in my experience.
Rgrds,
Strumm.

Good luck BlackH.
I'll hold you over on HZM to the fact that me money is coming back here this year! ;-)

Just to clarify for the traders. Yes I belive in Metals. I hold alot of GGP and HZM as you know, and very much see the long term value. But just at this moment with the shorting issues in the USA its undeniable from the sea of Red over the last few days that a lot of excellent results are not stopping SP depression in this sector. Just see the GGP slide despite brilliant NCM updates etc. I hold in those areas as an investor not a trader, as yes it will pass...

Said my piece. Let's see how this plans out. As ever Mr Market will let us all know in his own time.
Rgrds.

Hi BlackH.
There is that possibility agree. Personally as with my other investments I call it as I see it. I dont pump it and be selling off at the first upward move as some clearly do....
I explained I need this SP at 2.12p plus and liquid on the BID to sell. That's pretty open. So no benefit to me if it slides back next week. But as you say, it sadly may if momentum stalls. Look at GGP... HZM even to a degree. We are in a bit of a bear trough on metals as said.
Cheers.

Exactly...

(Continued)...
Was for me an exit, and for those that believe it's got long term legs a breakout, and a sustainable one from this traders paradise but investors nightmare of the past few years.
Rgrds.

Hi Abkaz.
Always willing to learn more about MM tactics on AIM. Since while I have invested reasonably on main market's for 35 years. But only on AIM for the last two.

As to if MMs here manipulate the prices excessively in the Alternative Markets, seems to be split opinions. Some say yep all the time. Some say no they make a market, as they get paid by the spread commission back n forth on buying off you lower and selling on to you higher... The later seems more logical to me?

In the example yesterday I did those couple of dummy sells and got what I got and posted mid afternoon. Not disputing that you got a bit more when you sold or dummy sold early in day. Since the day chart clearly shows a spike early at 1.7p (as I readally said). But rather than climb the (mid) price did fall away, to the point I could only get what my test indicated in the afternoon.

So back to your comment... "The only reason the price didn't go higher in the morning was it went NT".... if that's what you believe fine. I would suggest that a lack of buyers compared to sellers is the usual reason a price drops though.... But I do accept that these AIM shares quickly become illiquid either on the BID or the ASK. However regards your theory. If this did go illiquid on the ASK such that the demand was actually there, and the MMs didn't have enough shares to sell to people... they WHY would they not do the obvious, and raise the ASK and the BID. The ASK as people wanted to buy still, so demand and you pay more, and the BID to encourage others to sell... simply to make them (MMs) more profit? So in your comment what's the theory.. What's in it for MMs to not make the market...dont understand what they gain?

Didn't seem to happen though, as both ASK & BID gradually declined off that spike all day did they not...

So in conclusion not sure what MMs gain by not making a market here. Be interested in views? Unless of course the other theory is true....that just like the historic evidence I mentioned. It spikes on RNS. Is sold into by traders. There ISNT the buyers to counter this, and it falls away again. That's I am afraid, the simple non conspiracy theory view..

As said to Kutzz. Let's see in a weeks time where this goes then, which may provide the evidence of sustained buyers or otherwise perhaps...

As to my motives. I want my money back mate...!
18 months on avg 2.12 is £40k wasted that could have made good new funds in one of several other areas I invest in. It's been dead money here literally. Why didn't I sell on that one spike mid 2020 when it briefly hit my buy in Avg. Simply as liquidity wasnt there to sell 2 Mill. Not the buyers again on the other side of the market. I wasnt prepared to sell 5k shares here 10k there. But as again this was over bought (in my view), MMs rightly in my view also sadly wouldn't give me anything like the supposed BID, so have had to again wait to exit...
Would be very nice if the >2.3p ever sustained, and was there for m

Like your enthusiasm Kutzz, and at 9 Mill really hope it works for you. Can see your a genuine type.
But let's revisit the price in a week or so to see if there is actual sustainable buying pressure here. That's what will shift it as we both know.
Here's hoping.
Cheers.

Checked in, as saw RNS.

Lots and lots of posts. Some interesting views to be fair, on a frankly better, but still P&D suseptable update I am afraid..

These grades, compare them to the latest NCM update on Havieron for example.. really are not even close. Yet GGP is on a slide regardless (totally unjustifiable mid term IMO).

Anyhow. Here, there was so much frankly bull today... did I really read 3p plus Monday... Yep I really did.....(what is he on...) ..... its already spiked at only 1.7p and dropped all afternoon as the sharks chow down for goodness sake...

Truth is that Rock did well to close 1.3p after the usual sell offs. BUT guys the only test is nit that, but rather what will it close Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and then Thursday etc....thats what matters, buying pressure and sustainability is all that will raise the price. Not the day trader ramping b*llocks of a lot of the posts seen here today.

If anyone here has held this for 18 Months or so they will know what trends here also - spike to 2.31p (end 2019), 2.14p, ( mid 2020).... But then viciously exploited by day traders, and back to doldrums and 0.7p etc....pre then more rinse n repeat & endless swiss cheese drilling and placings to sustain the BOD lifestyle, but to little more end.

Uncomfortable am sure for some, but the history doesnt lie...

So... lets see if all the Jonny come lately rampers, and to be fair the genuine optimists can actually contrive to sustain some REAL buying pressure all next week. So that next Friday it closes even somewhere close to the last 1.65p placing raise... Now that would be real real progress.

Sorry to be that realist, but if NCM/GGP issue that amazing update on the JV drilling grades at Havierion, and their SP continues to fall regardless. Set against a real hard metals and commodities bear market right now...Then really.... this small beer will have to fight like h*ll with the 10,20,30% traders who will all be selling, so as to survive the clear onslaught coming.

Thats a fact, despite what ever the rampers here tell you today.

I hold a fraction under 2 Mill shares here, and need 2.12p to even break even....and something people forget to say.... actual decent sustained liquidity within that.

E.G today could test sell 500k max at only 1.2526p mid afternoon peak...before NT and likely 1 Mill at 1.01p within that max... So hardly great progress?

Sadly thus a shed load away still from your 3p blue sky matey...

Live in hope still, wanna see this work .... but .....Jeeeeez the ramping crews do my head in...

HI DJ.
Yes my 5% odd on AIM that's not in here or GGP is still a small 260k shares in GRL. Plus a pretty lemon investment in ROCK. GRL as you indicate has picked up nicely with rearly no news in past few weeks ("prospects" then as in my earlier post ..). Permit, bit like the finance here could get it motoring do agree. My holding there is very small compared to here & and in my recent posts have no further big funds to add there at the moment, short if slicing here, which I don't want to do. Sadly can't be in everywhere I would like to. GGP let me down a bit with first cut Scally drills, as if stronger may have sliced a bit there to add to here, GRL and take a decent position in RMM. But for now will have to see how that pans out on Havieron updates etc. As still think it's got legs, but going to now take longer.
Patience is hard to exercise on AIM I do see now. But certainly in this case is the only way so intend to hold.
Rgrds.

I am afraid, much as I agree with Mercs general theme of "if you believe in the share, then accept the ups and downs and KBO".

Frankly & whilst often talking good sense, he is hard to swallow if you have been around this share for 18 months plus.

As hes listed several times he's "All in, house, boat, kitchen and sink"...
Yet has more than once also posted big top ups, what was it £160k today at this lower price .... not for the first time either...

Face facts, he is a clear trader, who may also be an investor obsolutely. Nothing wrong with that. But agree with Christophe... its pretty preachy to come across all pure and dismiss those recently in for the fast money, when at least part of his pot is exactly the same and so generated... by his own admission in the past if you piece together his history of posts and tweets. He has also been called to task on thus more than one.

Believe in this share by all means. I still do also. But believe NO ONEs rhetoric without at least questioning their motives must also be the watch word.

Strikes me that on the AIM market that generally two things tend to drive a SP up or down..."News" & "Potential", or a lack of one, the other, or both... Good or bad they move it.

So in HZM case we continue to await that delayed news it's true. But there is still that potential flexing always in the background.

SSteel from A is the bread n butter. When monies forthcoming, or its potential backed up further on (say) off take news. Then believe we will move forward again (Just as we did 3 - 9ish p).

If V lands as well, or just after. That's going to really kick it on in the current EV interest atmospheric pressure cooker.

To me it's nice to have more than one string to bow, two is a nice bonus.

There are several other really interesting AIM areas currently. Would I like to have more funds to apply there... Yes very much. I can name a few but wont...... Do I regret a big holding here and so currently limited funds to put elsewhere. No....

You cant cover all the interesting areas. Much as would like to. But not for many minutes have I ever thought this one a poor choice.
Just my view.
Cheers.

Just read through todays posts. Some realky interesting stuff as ever. Noted the II share balance queries & feedback, pkus resultant comments RE finance progress etc. Very helpful thanks very much to all.

I kind of assumed (incorrectly) a couple of weeks back we were consolidating around 9.8ish. But with the perpetual seller of 200k here, 100k there. We now seem lodged about 8.8ish. That's not an issue to me per say -as I am not looking to sell any time soon.

But in light of the sleuth like investigations on II volumes, just wondered if anyone had any more of a view on who/what's holding us down? E.G sort off strikes me that with todays company feedback we should be building up, not slipping down slightly as we have?
Personally see this share as something that is likely to very much go up quickly if n when our friend stops unloading, and given the measured and carefully planned news feed we anticipate from this BOD. But equally accept that of course this is the Alernative Investment Market.... by way of illogical counter balance as ever !?
Cheers for any views, and thanks again for todays analysis all.

Mr NR1 apparently abhors "dick swinging", but clearly isn't above a bit of bragging on how his slices from here to ARB were to exploit the "institutional placing".....such a clever boy.. Just because he is a character, doesnt mean he has (any) character !

No point sugar coating it. A poor day. Not what GGP investors hoped for. Nor what the SMEs and there many followers had been expecting.

But it is what it is. Shake yourself down. Add more if able & if you see it coming back, or just hold and see, or sell up as you see fit.
Same choices as at start if every day.
Investing us a big boys game, and you accept the ups so suck up the downs and work out your next move. Simple as...

I saw a post from an account I didn't recognise here saying how they enjoyed thus BB. I have to say that with one notable exception (just ignore his trading posts now.. LTH know who I mean...).

I very much agree, & from my experience of reading here, since started buying HZM end if 2019 it's so true. This area has multiple real SME's, plus a real list of sensible well adjusted and interesting types whose views are always designed to be discussion points, and not arguments.

I contrast that with my other large hold (GGP). Again a handful of real SMEs very true. But then a sub layer of those that think they are in that catagory (and are not clearly). Who got lucky in all truth. Then there is the herd, that so far as I think Wasa said havnt arrived yet here. They will, but it's not a pleasant sight in my experience...

E g. Today on GGP will be well over 1000 plus posts after they issued issued some mediocre drill results from its admittedly secondary target areas. The whole BB split between the crowing.... told you so, it's a duster, & the Rampers who had taked it up, desperatly trying to put a positive spin. On and on ... just like a kids play pen all day. Quite pathetic of lots of grown men/women.

As a fairly LTH, the truth is, as is often the case IMO is absolutely neither as doom n gloom, nor the bullish waffle as the two poles like to pretend.

Wont go into why, as not appropriate here. But my point really is that unfortunately this will come here to you guys I fear..... not sure when, maybe after finance, maybe after start of build or just pre takeover. But sadly it will. I am a bit of a fatalist I know. But just like GGP circa mid 2919 when I first read it....and the BB was similarly objective. Sadly when the inevitable comes here too, I for one will miss the measured, varied and erudite comments of a raft of all the interesting types here.

Beware then, as with popularity comes some very unedifying trappings. So savour these times ! - as frustrating as "waiting for Godot". Or in our terms this ruddy finance package is .... the fallout post this time isnt always as great as we might hope.
Rgrds as ever
Strumm.

You invest based on a week then William... not exactly a "5 year mission as a trader then chum"...

Dear oh dear. Lord Ramper & Co.
Dont need the same post multiple times saying how a couple of Mill may change the viewable horizon here...
This BB becomes like many before it, a P&D paradise.
Puts off serious investors who do research. I agree this share has strong potential. But isnt yet generating the profit from the good grades, as in turnaround. If my friend DJ can hold his investment here, unlike GGP, unlike half his GZM, unlike the already "cant miss" GRL (Sorry dj but its becoming a theme mate)...Then yes agree this can likely flourish. But please, lets get some perspective. This share needs time.... something that so few will give AIM shares.. if you want a fast profit then fine buy, pump n sell. But surely some can see past that... surely..

You take care too Viking.
If your a certain age (which assume you are) then I am absolutely sure GGP to date, and hopefully going foward is all you guys will need. No point looking elsewhere sure.
