I am pretty sure some of the more vocal supposed LTHs are actually trading the share at the expense of others. There is a paradox between being a LTH here and being a succesful MATD investor. I still have a core holding at around 7p but much reduced, and like many could have had many more shares in MATD if I had de-risked when the prices were higher, particularly when it got to around 38p when I waited for 22p (ish). I hope to load up again in a week or so with my funds from my recent sale and at todays prices will end up with 20% more non-core shares than I would have had, had I held.
It is interesting to see the same old comments, month after month either from the same individuals (Manro, Mr P and Ojay) and interestingly from new names saying the same things...Hmmmmm.
However here's hoping...GLA.

Manro, you've picked a very bad example... Most fish are scared of herons coz they eat fish! ;-) Incidentally, I had Pelican for lunch yesterday, it was marvelous but you should have seen the size of the bill!

Who's shares are they going to buy..Yours? Your telling everyone the pictures rosy and telling everyone to buy, bit of a paradox? What's your game? Hmmmmm...

This dropped on fantastic news. Why, because traders were all over it...in a few months it will start to move up because traders will be taking a position. AIM is not for LTH in my opinion etc etc. I'll be buying back in a month or so, whatever the price...GLA ETC ETC

Continues apace, Bonds not sorted in july then it was suiggested to me that we have to wait till september (holidays!). Must admit to investing in some incontinance pants, but still in the wrapper!!! GLA...

and i've developed a stammer!

Yummy.... Nope on on that occasion..... ;-0

Not sure what heppened there...
I've been "investing" in AIM for about ten years, it's taught me a few things:
- in the run up to potential news rampers appear, price goes up (sometimes a little, sometimes a lot) often the good news doesn't appear, rampers are long gone , taking their 10% (if you could guarantee 10% profit 50% of the time why wouldn't you?)
- because of the above when good news does arrive unless it is a blockbuster the 10% merchants left sell and depress any uplift. (Sell on News!)
- This is what is happenong here, like it or not.
- Traders money has gone for next 6 months or so.
- MMs need churn to make money, they dont "trade" they take a very small % off every transaction. For the next 6 months, in the absence of news, I expect them to drop the price to encourage fear but also to attract buyers.
- Expect a gradual drift downwards for next 3 months or so.
- My perceptions of AIM have served me well over the past "2" years!
All IMHO etc etc

Ihaio...agree, but it's not sexy at the mo...price will drift, question is how far...sold 60% of my holding on RNS day, at around 3pm, price was only going one way by then. I'll buy back my holding in a week or so once price has settled. Happy to wait for FC...

Correctamundo.... (Sargasso sea, unfortunately)

I take your point but I'm not arguing about the maths, the price is set by sentiment/interest in the shares. It ain't there as far as I can see.

Jda may have been priced in after a couple of false starts (9p) ...we now have several months wait till next news, hot money is disappating...

AND make a lot of people very happy! Greedy Barsteward

But we are hanging here by our finger tips waiting for news, we'll either fall off the cliff or reach the top. Nothing in between. Forget the silly comments about 20p , 30p etc... Wait for the definitive RNS.....

Thanks for the reply

Even though th SP is surprisingly resilient it seems to me we are due some sort of reassuring RNS. Let's face it we don't hold any meaningful cards so I doubt we are doing any negotiating, more likely the other parties are arguing over the spoils. On a slightly different tack, does anyone have a view on the likely impact of Trumps trade issues with China?

So that's where he's been hiding.. Elvis in Whitby, who'd have thought it... Clever bugger... but you've ruined it now!...

Than when we were just looking at Mearsk and then KSA. Jam tommorrow I accept but the fruit and sugar are in, just need a bit of heat and for it to set? (come over all nigella lawson!)

I will ask again.... (and personally I think the change in nomad has been misinterpreted as an addition to facilitate a placing as opposed to an administrative issue because one firm has taken over another, which incidentally happened weeks ago ).......Do only the company and it's representatives ( co., nomad, legal etc) know it's coming and its contents or is another organization or body privy to the contents prior to publication (stock exchange or a special RNS team). Like I said in a previous post I had a portal which recognized me as someone authorized to make a publication and when I did no one outside the "team" had prior warning. Is that the case with an RNS or is someone outside the team aware prior to general publication?
I would be graeful if someone with detailed knowledge of market procedures could please clear this up. Thanks in advance.
