Sometimes, regardless of how good a stock is, the price will drop. Negative sentiment (rational or irrational), shorters will all push the price down. There isn't much any of us can do about it apart from sell and watch it go down further. There'll be value at the lower price where you can buy back in again. That's what I've found anyway.

Shorting is probably less risky than buying at the moment. Given the direction of travel. When the shorters jump on, well, then you've got a problem. It's like compound interest but in reverse. It'll be interesting to see how far down this goes.

Another drop in SP tomorrow? I'm guessing some more sales on their way . Unfortunately this does look like a single asset share with little else going for it. We either make it with Kallak or not. So KB, what disruption strategy are you going to take here to shake things up and change the parameters?

Racingcyclist - The explanation is thus: crypto is an asset and so related to world events. US pulling out of Afghanistan, people looking for security as vacuum likely to be filled by unknown/adverse party, gold on the up for security purposes, crypto likely on the way down given recent massive gains, Brexit increasing uncertainty but inflation around the corner, and of course, you need to add that the salt mines are running slim but world sea levels are on the up, so with global warming, evaporation will happen and salt produced. Hang on. What was that that I was drinking? Oh yeah, markets sometimes make no sense but sentiment? There's a clue in there.

Let's face it. A correction was on the cards though. Value seekers need to be brought in.

Deepbluediver - OMG what on earth are you doing here!! Shame you left TRST!

Aha! £250k buy, and could only be fulfilled at 314. That accounts for today. So shares are being held pretty tightly, few being sold, my guess is that 350p isn't far away.

Whether it is a red or blue on LSE matters not. Neither of us knows for sure. But a £3/4M buy would have nudged up the price. I Note that the SP has been going down today. Thus it's a sell, not a buy!

The £620k sell (listed at 1637) suggests something! That's a lot of stock in one go to offload. US is down to 171. Tomorrow will be interesting.

That's great! Thanks!

Hey mate - where can you see the US trading?
TIA

talkinboutWillis - well, it does sound that you're a bit angry about everything, so I assumed you had lost money. And looking at your profile, the date you set up the account, it looks like you're relatively new. And judging by your reaction to my postings, it does look like you don't really know much about the markets. But that's fine. We all have to start somewhere. You're right though. I don't have many recommendations. But that's because most people here are holders, slowly watching their investment disintegrate. Why on earth would they recommend what I am saying if I am not ramping up the stock! You haven't by any chance got a Masters in the Bleedin' Obvious have you? You're also right that I may miss the boat. That's the nature of the game. But I'm easy about that. You may wish to be less emotional about people who you disagree with on investment boards though. Good luck my friend. And I hope you make money. But it isn't as easy as you had hoped.

seav1ew - have you set a limit price or are you asking to sell at best? Because the 'normal market size' is 20 000 at 9p, so you may have a glitch on your HL account. I'd suggest contacting HL if I were you. They sound a bit rubbish. Here, this may help:
"While market makers are obliged to always quote prices that they will buy and sell at, they are not obliged to satisfy orders of any desired size — they are only obliged to meet what is known as the Normal Market Size (NMS) for the stock in question, and for small and thinly traded companies, that can be very small indeed. "

The septics are moving out of Afghanistan

talkinaboutWillis. I'm sorry you have lost money and have failed to react to the movement in the market. I'm sorry you have invested money in an area that you don't really understand. I hope you make your money back in due course. Why am I here? You'll find the longer you stay in this game that people watch stocks they haven't bought, and wait for dips - then they dip in when there is value - if there is value at all. If I were you, I'd be welcoming people like me because it means there are buyers waiting on the wings to push the price back up one day IF they see 'value'. I'm guessing you bought at a higher price without entirely understanding why you did so. Perhaps you were greedy and thought you could turn an easy buck. But that's fine. We all do that sometimes. I include myself there. It isn't easy. Anyway, good luck.

Last minute sell off before tomorrow's plunge I'm guessing. GLA, buyers and sellers included. I may miss out but perhaps not. The knife is falling etc. There are plenty of people familiar with that adage and are just as reluctant to jump in, so yes, further to fall I'm afraid.

Hang on guys. Is there another board for this share? Am I the only PI profiting from this incredible investment?

Autonomy1 - Too right! I'm guessing further falls tomorrow. Not the most productive way to spend the day, watching the screen here! Rarely do I see a bounce back on a Friday. I'm looking for 120 here.

Matt007 - wow buddy! You're heavily invested here! Too heavily invested to be watching on a day to day basis! You should go out on your yacht and take it easy for a few weeks. When it drops enough, vultures like me will dive in and the price will go back up. Put your feet up for a bit!

There are plenty of buyers (looking at L2) for your shares at 9p (5x20k). But only one seller at 9.3 (for 20k). Next 20k slice at 9.5, then 40k at 9.7 That suggests there is a bit of a shortage of shares and there'll be an easy bump up. It looks a bit risky trading at this point. I have to admit I was tempted at close yesterday, but have decided this is a keeper, until the expected Leap listing/buy out, at the very least. Then we'll get the fresh valuation for Leap, which should add another 5-15p to the SP? Not sure why that bloke couldn't sell £500 worth earlier (J2300?)? Perhaps he was asking for 15p rather than the quoted price of the SP? I'm not sure if I should applaud him or what?
