If you've lost a fortune on AIM why have you not wised up? I've slowly got rid of all my AIM stock apart from GGP, AST, MOS (Big pile of turd that the original GGP telegram group owner touted) and SOLG (another joke of a company I've seen drop from like 30p after I took at 25p placing).

AST - Waiting on arbitration so pure gamble. GGP which I'm hoping is a nice parting present. The other two I've completely given up on, no point taking what's in there out so I'll just forget about them. Once GGP is done I'm out of AIM, I've started ETF's and eventually when I have more disposable income I'll have a 'gambling' fund to play around with on AIM but that's it, play about. I don't see how you can "lose a fortune" and still want to be in. Overall I've done okay in AIM but it's just not worth it for investing for long term in my opinion.

Might have seen it a thousand times but it's never nice seeing money go down. I've had a nice relaxed feeling the last couple of weeks, lets hope it's not about to be diminished again. Ultimately, it will come good but I'd rather sit pretty whilst waiting as opposed to being miserable over SP. Staying over 10 is a must to keep that base so any future hype rises can develop a higher base.

No but you've had the rampers talking about an RNS all afternoon, talking about rockets and what not come 4:30, cretins. I'm just happy it seems to have cemented 11p. There isn't any rush. I'm absolutely petrified of the MRE update, I don't doubt for one second it will be good news but what then afterwards, sell off on news probably, bit of limbo time waiting for Newmont to make a decision, nah I'm quite content this slowly going up without being ramped to high heaven, or at least I hope it's not, I don't use Twitter anymore.

Large spread means they are creating liquidity without trying to move the price too much, that's positive but would be nice to see them allow it to tick up.

@joubert - How am I indicating that you du narr. More likely I'm referring to Day's comments that a third of shares is now in institutions, the hardcore fanboys are not selling which makes up a lot of shares so the rest is just general shares changing hands, that is a back and forth day in the markets, that sort of buying does not cause upward pressure If you think it does then Du verstehst die Märkte nicht, du Tölpel

I'd love to know who is causing the buying pressure as I don't see it being retail, there is nothing new for most retail as we already know what's coming and roughly when. Just makes me see it as even more corrupt then ever before. I don't mind the corruption as we go up though :D

Put the tin foil away Timber

Stop talking rubbish Robbie. Conspiracies are boring, keep saying it and eventually you may be right. 9 times out of 10 though it's just the way the market works. Stop looking for a bogeyman

Modern Monetary Theory would disagree with you.

Government debt is not an issue. Country output is.

Ah ignore me, different thread I posted in

So we can expect a bit of a sell off end of November. Opportunity for anyone wanting to accumulate large numbers without causing upward pressure

Not going to lie, it's a huge relief being in a better position, it looks more steady to hold it than it has done when it's hit 9s previously. I'll never not be worried, it's 84.6% of my portfolio. Lost a lot of the emotional attachment I used to have which will hopefully help going forward. I'm still in the red till 18p despite my first ever buys being in the 2-4p range, but I was a victim of not believing it would fall like it did and buying ridiculous amounts on the way down from the dizzying heights. Let's see what the next year brings, if we stayed at this as a base instead of 6p for a period of time I wouldn't feel anywhere as bad as I have done for the last several months.

That would be the hope mh01. Definitely. But let’s not kid ourselves that it was him.

Why does everyone talk like it was Shaun that led that?

I reckon today has been a lot of Twitter bandwagon jumping and day traders who pay attention to the fact that it’s appeared so far over the last week that there is serious buying after 1:30. If they start jumping ship at about 4 I hope this buyer has deep pockets to keep the price up as it doesn’t half change my mood when it’s up

Good theory sandgrounded. Can’t see why it’s not a possibility. Timing fits. Could be hugely positive if that is the catalyst.

Soz Mr ITK

Wonder who the afternoon splurger is, I don’t normally do conjecture but the swing in the afternoon post US markets coming to life is telling.

I’m smelling a hostile takeover attempt. Nothing but gut feeling so feel free to disregard and get on your merry day.

Is it buggery the lassonde curve, we're a year off that.
