Whilst the fall in sp is frustrating, the fundamentals have never been stronger. It's AIM, there are hidden agendas and dark arts in play behind the scenes, our de-rampers actually have zero effect on the sp (although they'd like to believe otherwise). This is a strong hold for me all the way.

If any new investors did read and digest opinion on this board, two prize idiots stand out among some generally intelligent commentary. In fact they are so stupid it's laughable.

Investors on boards like London South East post negative comments about stocks they own due to market manipulation, psychological coping mechanisms, or activist intentions. The goal is often to drive the share price down briefly to accumulate more shares cheaply, vent frustration over poor management, or force corporate change.

The most common motivations include:

"Ramper" and "Basher" Manipulation: Often referred to as "stock bashing," investors may use negative sentiment to artificially suppress a share price. By creating panic, they hope to buy more stock at a lower price or scare out weaker hands.

Investopedia

Venting and Frustration: Long-term investors experiencing heavy losses or a prolonged drop in share price may turn to harsh criticism to express anger at company directors or missed targets.

Forcing Corporate Action: By highlighting flaws, management deficiencies, or financial shortfalls on public forums, activist investors hope to draw the attention of company boards, press, or institutional investors to force a change in strategy or leadership.

Psychological Coping (Commiseration): Misery loves company. Investors dealing with declining portfolios often use forums to complain, expecting solidarity and shared grievances from fellow shareholders.

Hedging Tactics: Some users may criticize a specific stock to justify a short position they have opened, even if they hold an underlying long-term investment, attempting to balance their risks.

Bulletin boards are often characterized as highly emotional and anonymous, meaning sentiment does not always align rationally with an individual's financial holdings.

The user katstrangler on the London South East (LSE) bulletin boards serves as an excellent case study of the complex psychology behind why invested posters share negative comments.

Rather than a malicious "basher" trying to illegally manipulate a stock, katstrangler’s posting history across boards like GSTechnologies (GST), Creo Medical (CREO), and Mkango Resources (MKA) illustrates a mix of cautious pragmatism, extreme frustration, and tactical accumulation.

Their profile mirrors the previously outlined motivations in several specific ways:

1. Venting Frustration at Management

A core motivation for negative posts is anger at corporate leadership for diluting shareholder value. Katstrangler frequently highlights this reality, noting in one post that retail investors hold roughly 70% of a company's shares yet receive minimal "intra-RNS" (Regulatory News Service) updates compared to institutional investors. Their negativity is often a public attempt to hold management accountable for treating retail holders as an afterthought.

2. De-risking and Managing Expectations

While regular "perma-bulls" on forums aggressively pump a stock, katstrangler tends to post sobering downside risks to

Well, let's hope that the bod are reading this board and are listening to Kat! What a loser!

🐈, your continual moaning regarding output and feedstock is annoying. There are plenty of volatile penny shares out there for you trade short term, so why are you even here? I'm fully invested here for the gains which will be realised in the medium to long term. I think the bod have a somewhat better idea of how to run this business than you do.

Global stock markets are trading at or near record highs, driven by a massive rally in technology shares and investor optimism over a tentative 60-day ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. In the US, both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite achieved fresh all-time closing records. Meanwhile, key Asian benchmarks like Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's Kospi also notched historic peaks during overnight trading.

Oh dear Kat, sounds like you're underwater. Just hang in there, keep the faith and no need for running commentary in the interim.

Shareholders of MKA will see a direct benefit from the success of the US-listed business, though it will be realised through corporate equity value and asset exposure rather than a direct distribution of US shares. Because of how the transaction is structured with Crown PropTech Acquisitions, MKA shareholders maintain an indirect, major financial stake in the US entity.

Is MKA Undervalued? Yes. Potential for Upside: Some analysts and investors argue that when including HyProMag's advancement and new funding, MKA is trading well below its long-term potential, with some targets suggesting over 400% upside.

That'll do me...

Completely agree, all I see is green, no clue what rubbish is being spouted, blissful.

Don't panic! The only thing holding us back right now is placee profit taking.

Kat, get a life ffs (filtered).

So you're an industry expert, a day trader, or what exactly?

She/he must have Timed entry and exit perfectly and somehow beat the spread... impressive (and unlikely)

Sintered magnet production in Germany focuses on high-performance, specialized rare-earth (NdFeB) and hard ferrite magnets, with a strong, emerging emphasis on sustainable recycling to reduce reliance on Asian imports. Key players are scaling up local production, particularly for the automotive and renewable energy sectors, to establish a robust European supply chain. 

• Key Manufacturers: Major players include MS-Schramberg, which produces both sintered hard ferrite and rare-earth magnets, and GKN Powder Metallurgy, which is establishing significant capacity.

• Production Process: The process involves advanced powder metallurgy, including creating "green bodies" from magnetic powder through pressing, followed by sintering in vacuum-inert gas furnaces.

• Innovation & Recycling: Germany is a leader in recycling, with HyProMag GmbH launching production in 2026 using patented Hydrogen Processing of Magnetic Scrap (HPMS) technology to create new magnets from waste, supported by research from Pforzheim University.

• Strategic Focus: Production is geared towards high-temperature resistance, high coercivity, and customized shapes for industries like robotics, automotive (EV motors), and machine tools.

• Shift toward Self-Sufficiency: In response to the fact that ~98% of EU permanent magnet demand is currently met by imports, Germany is investing heavily (e.g., through projects like SusMagPro and REEsilience) to develop a domestic, environmentally friendly supply chain.

• Automotive Partnership: GKN Powder Metallurgy is partnering with firms like Schaeffler to produce magnets for electric vehicles in Germany.
