Interesting that there has been one major seller of over 79000 shares today. Take that out and there have been more buyers than sellers yet the price has dropped massively. I guess I better cut my loss tomorrow. Down just over 50%. Very irritating. Looks like Viy and Ctp are the only ones up. Iqe and aor down. I should never have touched this except with a short from 130p. Unfortunately I've never bought a cfd in my life. Another Tpl lesson.

Any opinion on how low this might go..?? Geetting tempted to cut my loss here.

Ditto my friend. I tried to catch a falling knife as well. We live and learn but as you say with Aim maybe we'll get some of our losses back.. I thought a 50% retrace was enough.

This would have made a great short from 130p. Britishbulls still got a short recommendation on it. Absolutely no trade on this platform. I just hope you're right on the IP here but really there's little interest here at the moment.

Are we seeing the green shoots of a small recovery here.? Tell what you think of WGB and PRES, both have been quite sucessful and under the radar. Pity I did'nt hear of them 5 years ago. I notice Ctp is also underway with its first acquisition.

According to my HSBC Direct letter deadline for response to open off er is midday 25th June 2014. I dont know whether to take up mine or not. however I would be in profit on it by 18% but only involves 137 shares. Only put in £1K here as a small punt at 0.19p.

It may be cheap but there's not much to stop it sliding further. Its difficult to value is'nt it and there's little prospect of a profit here. Furthermore its nearly gone bust before and timescales are slipping getting American production up and running. A miillion pound loss and promises of jam tomorrow are risky.I obviously did'nt research this properly which is my fault. Do you think things can turn here and why ??

Been away for three days to come back to a poor piece of news. I thought this had come off enough from a 130p high. Daft to try and catch a falling knife. Do you think the current sp represents fair value or is this headed for a placing at an even lower price.

This one at least holding at this level. Keep a watching brief on Gkp and the Iraq situation. Could be an opportunity for a recovery trade at some point depending on Isis outcome.

Is this the bottom here..?? No news for a long time does'nt help. I know you sold out but interested in your opinion. Look at LGO versus TPL. Who would believe the rise in Lgo on such small finds and the billions of shares in issue.

If you are the fellow that bought up REM as another example I have to agree the share price has gone up from 0.04 - 100p roughly and that is pretty good for anybody who was on the train for the entire ride. However you can't compare commodity stocks with this type of business. I doubt if Rem is making a profit yet, and the sp rise is based on the lithium yields in the test drilling. There's often a huge time lag between discovery and production that can go on for years. The other problem with mining is you can't control the price of your product. The market does that and it can vary wildly. By the time you are grinding out results the picture may have changed quite radically. I tend to regard commodity stocks as great trades and Rem has been just that has'nt it...??

Nice to hear from you. Apologise for not getting the story exactly right but its still a great lesson in longterm investing in what turned out to be a rapid growth internet stock. I can remember it sailing through the Buncefield oil fire which burnt down its warehouse and the 2007/8 crash without much of a hiccup. If the broker had said yes go and buy I would have bought at 17p, but knowing my nerves I would'nt of held it without trading it or selling out. All during its 10 year boom the only advice I ever read from one year to the next was its overvalued and sell it. That was mainly the Investors Chronicle. Just proves how difficult stock selection is. How to spot a winner from all the dogs that are on Aim and hold it against all so called professional advice. good luck with Boohoo but I do tend to believe that lightning does'nt strike twice in the same place. The biggest problem may turn out to be a rising pound that's alreading hurting ASOS. I take my hat off to you.........that is if I had one to hand.

For me this is the one that got away. Back in 2003 having just arrived back from living in South Africa for 18 yrs I spotted this in a copy of the FT at 17p. Talked to a broker who was entirely uninterested in it, so I watched it move up to 25p then 40p and thought oh well its too late now. Could'nt find much info on the company either. Then it moves up to £70 in ten years. A lot of people bailed at 65p but one poster Rusty Renault held it to £31 and made almost a million quid. It's been a real Warren Buffet company compounding sales, revenues and profits year on year. It almost dominated the market in online clothing sales to the twenty somethings, but now of course it has attracted a lot of competition in its niche markets. For those who held on bravely from its 5p low in 2003 its been an incredible journey unmatched by any other company I can think of. Who's to say there is'nt further to go after a period of consolidation. Its also been one of the biggest beneficiaries of social media, selling vast quantities to Australia for example with no website or retail outlets. The P/e ratio has long been ludicrous but it was a result of such powerful growth over a decade. I wonder what will be the next miracle growth company that's selling for peanuts today.

Shareprophets has put out a buy note for mira with a target price of 30p. You got here first if I remember last year. Looks like its got further to go.

So gentle I can't feel it.

Well iron ore prices are low and set to stay that way. GX also unclear on how the project is going to be funded and that creates uncertainty. I had hoped all that was going to be clarified in the FFS but no such luck. Its a long road to production with many possible pitfalls and delays. At some point it will become a buy when the sp drops back and iron ore perceived to have bottomed out. As regards aor no trades on this platform. Could do with some positive news soon to see if the IP strategy is working.

Ah...The Lake District where men are men and sheep are nervous. So probably are the ponies, If its wet and cold up there its the same down south. The farthest north I've been for any length of time was Leeds for two years at University. 1970-2. A miners strike put the country on a 3 day week and we only had electricity on for a few hours a day. So cold I knew students who were slowly feeding their furniture into the fireplace to keep warm. All students did was drink and get into trouble. I can remember partially my 21st being spent at Yates Wine Lodge selling the most revolting Australian red wine useful for hand to hand combat or to be laid down and forgotten about. It did'nt pour out of the glass it sort of rolled out like treacle down your throat. God the customers were rough in those joints. The joke was the IRA threw a petrol bomb into Yates Wine Lodge in Liverpool and a customer staggered over and drank it. Up north people could drink then and still do I assume. Aussie wine today is of the highest quality and Leeds is said to be quite smart. So things have changed for the better.. So what sunny clime are you heading for...?? For me it was South Africa in 1984 and I had famity connections there. That place is'nt safe anymore. Back in 1970 I could have gone To Australia when I was 18 yrs old and its my one regret I did'nt look into that further. Its got its problems too but all that sun and space is definately appealing. I've been watching Neil Oliver doing coast on tv over there and wondering if I would have liked it.

I lived in the north of South Africa for 18 years on a 5 acre plot. 240 days of sun a year and a life in shorts and tea-shirts. Biltong and cold beer. All the space you can want in the sub tropics. The weather can get you down here and its too overcrowded in the southeast.. However the lake district looks incredibly beautiful and this country is at least safe and relatively sane. Get walking and take some nice photos or do some drawing. As for Aor it is somewhere near the bottom with low volumes. An ideal time to get in before it wakes up if you're interested. It'll turn sometime next month I think.

Features as a buy in main share tip pages of todays Investors Chronicle. Explains todays rise.

Gee where are you...?? stuck on some beach in the Med somewhere...too far from London. Actually you can't be too far from London...well not if you're my age...too old to rock n' roll but too young to die... at least that's what's my passport says. Too noisy and overcrowded for me now but born there and knew nothing else for the first 34 years. Had a house in Hackney once but now living in Beaconsfield having lived in South Africa on a five acre plot with fruit trees for 18 years. Got spoilt but had to come home. Beaconsfield is twinned with Langres in France. Just an excuse for our Mayor to cross the channel once a year and get pi55ed with his counterpart over there. I don't think Hackney is twinned with any place abroad, if its as rough as it used to be it probably has a suicide pact with Tower Hamlets. I use to work in the city and could walk home. No commuting for me. Better go now and put out the rubbish. Around here its sent away to be converted into junk mail and stuck back in your letter box. If I lived in Hollywood it would be movies as Woody allan once put it.
