Sell when ducks are quacking.
Maybe, maybe not.
Do not get spiked. More Likely to fall from here - and tomorrow, new low end of week blues.
Then sell in May and go away. Until st ledgersā day. Thatās September. End of Q3 as mentioned in RNS.
Donāt be pumped.
In the playground.
Remember, as a child, looking for someone to bump?
Agree smellyben. Specifics here with COPL is separate to the general concern about market shorting. COPL, bonds, Anavio, off-shore wealth transfers, lying, repeated regulatory statements that do do not reflect a companyās true position - thatās an entirely different thing to shorting in general.
āInside-informationā is an outmoded concept. Regs were introduced as a sop imo. Just about anyone can obtain information which is technically āinsideā. Some call it āhaving an edgeā lol. But obviously cases arise where diligent parties have enough evidence to show clear breeches of conduct have occurred. Perhaps the courts will find this here, and the soppy FCA May reluctantly be dragged into yet another fishy pie. I am always impressed by the hard work of some, such as RBM, and others on here. I give them my wholehearted support. I have lost money in three suspended coās in the last year so far as I believed the circumstances would turn and there is a chance of big returns where they do. Obviously here, we would be lucky to regain our original investment. Hereās hoping.
*response to this āstop shortingā link being bandied about.
You cannot stop folks from betting against a company, ie, shorting. It will continue and is really no different to āinvestingā. Itās just an opinion about value. Nobody knows true value of anything in a monetised world, esp. where all online information is advertising. Welcome to hell.
Imo it would be a mistake to try to prevent shorting. It serves a very useful purpoe and all part of the gambling risk machine.
Nobody knows. And in an āinstant online informationā world. Every statement affects the price in the opposite way. How long does it take for peeps to realise this? Thatās because we have a constant set of self-reflexive feedback loops. If you want a price to rise, trash it and see. If you want to get in cheap, raise your target price. But then there are double and triple bluffs. Nobody knows. Really, nobody knows. Not even the mythical controlling wealthy forces: they just have a spread of investments that over time increase incrementally in value, and circumvent tax regs. The rest is gambling. 50/50 + charges. These boards are for addicts like me lol.
Worth reading AIM Rules for Companies.doc at the London stock exchange.
Rule 15 & 40: There is a passage or two that suggests we will get an RNS one way or another as shareholders need to be informed of the decision to delist. Though implicit in the suspension RNS, do we have not have to be directly informed by the company of ITS intentions/reasons?
But, AIM, the fsa and regs. Ha.
( GLA ).
Factor in also the likelihood of a placement / fund raise.
Will these be available to buy for existing shareholders I wonder? Or just instiās ?
Could be 3 or 4 RNSās at once. Lots to think about in a short space of time - if it happens.
avg PE for sector 15 - 19. Some big outliers. What might be the PE for Bodycare?
Couldnāt find any useful accounts on-line - anyone with info on turnover 2022/3?
While we are concerned about the immediate future and whether we get any of our money back
McKinsey report on beauty sector - for long-term investors lol.
Sort of thing David Craven might have glanced over.

Hi All,
Just a couple of thoughts before d-day.
Cast your mind back to the reason youāre here. The talk at the time of the announcement of Craven and the quashing of the delist last Summer was all about the rare opportunity with this cash shell. Shells are a dying breed. This was the cheapest, and smallest share base on the market at the time.
David might well let it go on Wednesday but will never see an opportunity like this again so I wonder..
Looking at Bodycare, there are no accounts available but a reasonable comparison would be REVB.LSE in the same sector, an 87m mcap, six time as many shares, 28p each. Now of xourse there will be huge differences in terms of assets and liabilities, but a recent article showed that they made a small loss last year but predict a lot of growth in 2024.
All the doom and gloom around the London Markets in the press right now foreshadows a turning point imo. The news is always 6 months or more behind the Eliot curve. I would suggest this s a perfect time for Bodycare to enter the fray. Growth is firmly on the agenda of all incumbents for electionsā sake.
So I am quietly hopeful. And enjoying the detective PASā investigative thriller in the post below. Not sure how I will respond if this goes live but Iām in a position to slice in the short term and still have plenty for the longer term. I reckon, if it happens, there will be higher highs some days or weeks down the line - shops opening, (maybe one or two of the old Body shops). Then the online combination/integrarion also in the pipe. In short, NEWS and raising their profile in Southern UK.
Anyone invested in REVB here? All thoughts on the above welcome.
GLA.
Whatās the current, or 2023 mcap for Bodycare?
Also depends upon any further share issue that may or may not occur.
What might be the structured deal for an RTO.
Too many what ifs to predict market sentiment. I would suggest, if the Bodycare deal happens there will be several days during which forward-looking value wil be determined.
If it happensā¦
Lol.
The dilution on this company over the last few years - to dust! .
Might inhail a few if not careful . Serious problem for several iconic aim companies actually. Reminds me of the incredible shrinking man.
Was considering these today but 20p incoming ?
Think Iāll wait and see.
I wonder if the question of bonuses they awarded themselves at Christmas (half taken - the rest at a time of their choosing) will arise, considering all the mist, and murky target dates.
I know these things take time.
Are we still awaiting sandjet kit from September? lol.
Finally, can move along now.
All the debate surrounding a placement is done. Now we get a fair bit of grumbling to occupy ourselves because we havenāt any lives to live away from these accursed boards.
As previously posted, I believe we have a period of stability ahead, āļø; Management further invested, āļø; potential finds in both Botswana and Zambia, āļø; drilling season, āļø; copper price momentum up, āļø relatively low mc āļø.
A sharp drop in sp. Oversold imo.
On that basis, I have re-entered the fray and addressed this board with a ramp to help lift morale in the face of justified grumbles.
