@DarrenBuffer: Yes, taking profit can often be a good strategy. But to sell at 42p on Tuesday seemed foolish given the expected newsflow this month that could take this to 50p or even 60p. I've no doubt there will be profit takers once the news is out and we have a good run - as you say that's how AIM tends to go. But it won't drop back to 32p. It will progress and the new bottom may be 45p or 50p. A sensible person doesn't sell up when they're expecting good news imminently. That's why I thought your short was foolish. Almost as if you were clueless as to the expected newsflow.
No one, whether long or short could have predicted the RNS on Tuesday afternoon that brought this down again. Your luck came up with the short. It could have easily gone the other direction with an RNS posting good Q4 results, hedge cleared or the gold assays we're waiting on. When I'm waiting on that news, I'd rather not be sat praying the share price drops as you were.
