Yes @moniman, you know it. "Do not be hasty, hold onto your pastry."

"If the share price doth swell then my holding I sell.
If the share price falls to the floor then I will buy more."

Either way I'm happy to react to what happens tomorrow. This is a well established company with a bright future. A new CE, resolution of cupply chain issues and the relaxation of travel restrictions will trickle down to ASC. Be patient if you are a holder you will be rewarded. Good Luck. Any views expressed are my opinion only.

The smurfs nearly touched 4200p today.

Seriously though. There was a peak of around 2400p in July 2019 followed by a double top in Jan 2020 at a similar level. Then Covid happened and a bit of turbulence/uncertainty existed in the market. Through this GRG trading was one of the first to emerge. I think that there is a lot more retail money in the market at the moment and GRG is seen as a relatively safe haven. Maybe it was slightly undervalued pre-Covid. I expect a period of merger/acquisition within all markets (cost slashing) and GRG is a very neat addition to the portfolio of much bigger companies. Perhaps...but then I could be on the bakky...Remember my rule "Buy high. Sell low".

I blame investors smoking too much weed during the pandemic.
"Look to the skies, if you see pies then GRG you must buy...."

Boris has just announced that pre-departure testing is being scrapped and also the requirement to quarantine on arrival. He has outlined a load of other simpifications. IMO this can only do good for travel stocks. Good Luck Everyone.

AVOID! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

This has now crossed the point where I am 10% down. See what happens tommorrow but I am prepared to double my holding and average to 5% down. I see the future very golden for ASC given travel and tourism market opening up this year and no foreseeable closure in hospitality. ASC need to keep innovating and provide USPs to counter other online vendors in this space. This share looks like a bargain given where it has been.

Creeping towards 4200p...

Did you sell up Tra1 or waiting to enter? I'm expecting this to run for a while so holding. Already 10% up. Lot's of good news coming in the travel sector will take this higher. Good Luck whichever way you decide to go.

"A high value company whose share price never moves is like a man who has buys a gold fishing rod when he lives in the desert?"

Yes

Looking for next dip to top up.

I'd be worried working in an organisation where the CEO is not a good communicator. How does he cascade information to his colleagues/employees? Communcation/charisma is part of the CEO package. Promoting and marketing one's company is not a waste of money. It has always been a key tenet of business. I am concerned at some of the comments aluding that share price growth hinges on Ascendent. Either Ascendent delivers and share price and liquidity increases OR Ascendent doesn't deliver and those stoic investors lose patience and cut their losses. No updates is affecting the interest in this stock and hurting MAFL. Putting a link on website which leads to nowhere is at best annoying and at worst deceptive. Increased value with little or no shareprice growth and poor liquidity smack of internal manipulation. Not good news IMO.

Annie Anderson saved up all year and put her Christmas money into buying SKG shares. Good sign. Nice one Annie.

Waiting for mid to low 800's entry. This will sky rocket next year IMHO but risk reward not enough for me at the moment.

All I know is that moving money is making money. I do firmly believe that MAFL has a bright future and that it will return profit for me at some point. However, if I took all the cash that I had in MAFL and put it into other stocks where I can make double digit returns in a matter of weeks. I could even jump in an out of MAFL was the spread not so ridiculously huge. The BOD have got to get this share price moving, reduce the spread and instill interest in the market. It's no good building the highest value company that nobody knows about. There is more sense in steady share price growth reflecting the steady increase of market cap. I need to have a long hard think about why MAFL BOD would adopt their current approach. If anyone has any answers I for one would be pleased to hear them.

Fantastic moniman! Great profit there. I also belive that this could get to 4000+ in 2022 especially given their intent to expand into international offerings. There are also reasons why GRG might be attractive addition to other listings in an acquisition. However, the risk/reward might mean I jump before then, but at the moment happy to let the line run on this as I am already nicely in profit but not to the same extent as you. I wish you and Halma success in your investments in 2022. Always do your research and Good Luck All.

Yes Halma1983. Glad you can join in the rhyming fun. Nice little rise today. Nicely in profit already but happy to let this one run for a while. Like you I am looking forward to the next RNS.
