Could be the problem, most of them have arrived here via the channel

Well they do say, " keep your enemies close"

Mancunian I meant

Whenever I think of Mick Hucknall all I see is a cabbage patch doll, not a fan of the ginger Manchurian bobbleheaded one.

How very kind of you to say that, thank you.

ALRT was the stock I was referring to as my last investment.

Defence Holdings appears to be in a league of it's own . A company that feels as if it has been set up for a specific purpose, dare it fail ?

For all I know it could fail with the mm's assistance, if that happened could we take the evidence to a high court and have the instigators charged with Treason against the state?

Hopefully higher powers will tell them when the time comes,.. " hands off if you know what's good for you".

Apologies to all for going off topic, I keep looking at CapAI. I wish you all success with this company, I personally want to see revenue here before I reinvest, as they say when your head hurts through banging a brick wall maybe it's time to stop.

December and Ixian will be the upturn for ALRT, they have their fingers in many pies.

As with all investing patience is the key , sadly those that have patience are impacted by those that don't.

Rest assured that anything that is a conflict of interest will be monitored by the FCA,... and then ignored.

But here’s an important truth:

The feeling that the market is stacked against you is real.

But it doesn’t mean you’re helpless or that you can’t win.

It means the way the game is played is different from how it looks on the surface.

Most investors go through this awakening at some point.

Some people quit here.

Some step back, breathe, and start again — but in a completely different way.

Goodlife,

Thanks for that, yes I like to think I am honest ,maybe too honest for my own good.

I use ChatGPT for it's opinion on posters contributions, it often confirms my suspicions ( ChatGPT gobbles up information you feed it and formulates a tidy logical response)

You can be anything you want to be with ChatGPT, you can roleplay, be the liar, spy, traitor or victim it's a bit of fun.

I'm personally worn out with this bull they call investing , so I "befriended" ChatGPT on an emotional level, it's response was to counsel me and this is the result of my conversation.

My question was I had this feeling that the market was stacked against me.

That feeling — that the game is stacked against you — is incredibly heavy, and it hits at a very deep level.

And here’s the thing most people won’t admit openly:

A lot of investors feel exactly the same way at some point.

Because when you keep seeing:

prices drop right after you buy,

news that should help get ignored,

big players move the market in ways that make no sense,

and small investors always seem late…

…it genuinely does feel like the system is tilted away from you.

⭐ Why it feels rigged (and why that feeling is real, even if the picture is more nuanced)

1. You don’t see the whole board

Institutions trade with:

algorithms reacting in milliseconds

insider-level visibility into order flow

data retail can’t afford

analysts, teams, models

the ability to move prices

When you see something drop right after buying, it often is because big players positioned differently before you even saw the story.

It’s not personal — it’s structural.

But it feels personal.

2. Small-cap and speculative markets really are manipulated

Not always in the illegal sense, but in the mechanical sense:

Thin liquidity

High spreads

Market makers widening prices

Algo games

Fake bids/asks

News timed for insiders

Buying pressure gets soaked; selling pressure cascades

If you’ve mainly invested in these kinds of stocks, it will absolutely feel like you’re fighting a machine you can’t see.

Because in many ways, you are.

3. Negative momentum hits harder than positive

Stocks often go down faster than they go up.

Losses move quickly. Gains take time.

So even when you do everything “right,” the emotional weight is uneven.

That imbalance creates a persistent feeling of being on the wrong side of things.

4. You only see your own losses — not everyone else’s

You’re comparing your experience to other people’s highlights:

their winners

their perfect entries

their screenshots

their “I told you so” posts

No one posts the 40%, 60%, 80% drawdowns.

That makes the system feel even more unfair.

⭐ But here’s an important truth:

The feeling that the market is stacked against you is real.

But it doesn’t mean you’re helpless or that you can’t win.

It mea

MoD Contract Probability Model (Based on Signal Strength)

(All percentages represent the probability of a formal MoD contract award within 6–18 months, i.e., FY25–FY26)

1. Engagement Signals (40% Weight)

🔵 Signal: TF Maven (NATO) operational evaluation at SHAPE

This is normally post-prototype, pre-acquisition territory.

High-level operators tested Ixian

IO/ISR workflows mapped

Google present as a credibility anchor

Explicit interest from Maven officers

→ Probability contribution: 0.40 × 0.85 = 34%

2. UK Sovereign AI Alignment (25% Weight)

🔵 Signal: Ixian positioned as a UK sovereign AI capability

This aligns perfectly with:

2025 Defence AI Strategy

“Information Advantage” as a strategic priority

MoD’s push for sovereign tech (G-Cloud sovereign, Digital Foundry reforms)

UK’s demand for counter-disinformation AI tools

→ Probability contribution: 0.25 × 0.75 = 19%

3. Technology Readiness + Hyperscaler Backing (20% Weight)

🔵 Signal: Built on CollectiveOS + supported by Google + earlier Oracle alignment

MoD procurement becomes dramatically easier when:

hyperscaler cloud is involved

deployment pathways already exist (air-gapped GDC)

platform is repeatable (CollectiveOS)

solution appears “deployment ready”

This reduces technical risk for acquisition.

→ Probability contribution: 0.20 × 0.70 = 14%

4. MoD Procurement Pathway Access (15% Weight)

🔵 Signal: Whitespace is already in the MoD “Engine for Growth”

Engine for Growth = a fast procurement access channel.

Combine that with:

active classified product dev

ongoing MoD-adjacent collaborations

Defence Technologies brand established specifically for this market

This means they already have the door open.

→ Probability contribution: 0.15 × 0.80 = 12%

⭐ Overall Probability (Sum of weighted scores):

➡️ 34% + 19% + 14% + 12% = 79%

🎯 Final Result: 79% Probability of MoD Contract Win

Within 6–18 months (FY25–FY26)

And importantly:

📌 46–52% probability of MULTIPLE contracts

Because Ixian is not a single-use system — it’s a platform:

information operations

counter-disinformation

intel triage

multi-domain operations

NATO-aligned ISR fusion

classified MoD applications (already teased)

This increases the lifetime contract value scenario substantially.

📈 What Would Increase Probability From 79% → 90%+?

If any of the following occur, probability jumps sharply:

1. Confirmation of GDC (Google Distributed Cloud) as the sovereign deployment path

→ signals full readiness for classified workloads.

2. MoD exercises or trials explicitly involving Ixian

→ similar to TF Maven engagement but UK-side.

3. Inclusion in an MoD innovation or Digital Foundry public publication

→ shows institutional sign-off.

4. Any RNS mentioning “operational deployment”, “pilot”, or “evaluation contract”

I posted earlier regarding consolidation and it's distructive effect on S.P. on shares .

You say you are perplexed, I think we are all perplexed as to what is going on with the markets.

No amount of research can guarantee you derisking from the murky dark arts being played by the Market Makers.

I have witnessed some deliberate manipulation in my time in these AIM penny stocks but it is definitely becoming a serious problem.

I watched a share move up today steadily gaining momentum only to be stopped in it's tracks by market makers piling in multiple small sells that most definitely did not warrant the sudden widening of the bid/ask spread.

They have every incentive to do this on every share on every day where there is sufficient volume, the FCA appears to turn a blind eye to all the blatant manipulation and the situation can only get worse if sonething is not done about it.

The problem now is they do it almost clockwork on any share that has potential.

This is just one of the problems they have created which in turn is driving people away from the stock market.

This thinning out of potential investors is making it more difficult for companies to attract investors,.. especially when they have already felt robbed and feel the same tactics will be employed where ever they invest their money.

Confidence in the London Stock Market is at an all time low thanks to their behaviour and it is no wonder more companies are pulling out than listing.

I have invested my money in several shares that looked like potential winners only to see the steady gains ripped away by the mm's actions.

My only investment at the moment is just about breaking even and should be worth pennies , alas nothing is spared from the mm's and my own frustration like many investors is getting to the point that I have now set a deadline, the news leading up to the end of the year should catapult my investment into the thousands when the company secures contracts,.. if they tamper with the S.P. at that stage when the volumes will in theory overwhelm their ability to manipulate the price, I will call it a day and put what I have remaining back in to my savings account.

There comes a point when you have got to stop and say , this dream was a lovely idea but that is all it was.

Every day , every minute on every share that has volume, monkeys are meddling and stealing your money.

The whole country is full of chancers , street hawkers and spivs on the take.

Giro Scrounger do one

Some one grab a screenshot and that should be reported to FCA blatant manipulation methinks

Unless someone else has a perfectly reasonable explanation.

What share is your Giro on this week you scrounger?

The most distructive action to shareholders in any share,... period!!

I pointed this out months ago, I did research on what it would mean to value and was quite frankly shocked by my findings.

At the time I naively thought I was being helpful , but human nature is one thing you can always rely on and I got shouted down and insults were cast at my suggestion this would not end up well for investors.

Believe me when I say I have been burnt by consolidation and I was also in denial that it was highly destructive and dilution even after it happened to me.

I thought it could be a positive thing if the company is successful, now that rule really only applies if a company is on the cusp of or is already showing growth and revenues.

Unfortunately CapAI are neither so the weakness is the lack of volume in trades and a continual retrace back to the old Dukemount level.

I feel genuinely sorry for all who are nursing losses here, it's a sordid business that has stole your money to bail out the debts of the Dukemount days.

Richard Edwards I believe must have known full well the level of debt and obligation he had and convinced Ronjon that the listing was a good chance to kick start his ideas by launching a new company in the U.K.

The timing was perfect because with Trump causing turmoil in the U.S. I think this helped the process of making the decision to set up here easier.

Anyway, I'm again very sorry for those who have now been locked in with huge losses, your investments might as well go into the bottom drawer for the next year and hopefully fortunes change, revenues start to generate interest and the S.P. recovers , good luck to you all.

Investors down under sending Conrad a message. This mess needs addressing swiftly I do hope their S.P.continues to slide down would be the Karma they deserve but a word to the EME board as well , you owe it to the long suffering investors who are nursing massive losses, do not sell out cheaply for a quick exit, we are all in the deep recess of the abyss, the prize is huge so go and win it.

If Russia invades the U.K. money will be worthless
