If J.O.H. was looking to make just 15% on a £1.5m investment (less than 15% if one includes the 11% stake it already held) it would have sold out when they were @ 8p. Then there are the other big investors still holding their original stakes. Although I have sold (happy with my profits), I still think there is much more to it, albeit relatively academic in my case - now holding just 948 shares.

Yes, the facts are that this is now well above NAV and there is NO business to get excited about. The absolute max this share will return is, by my calcs 6.1p and I suspect it will be lower due to closure costs, ongoing costs etc.

I can only think that this is being driven by:
1. Momentum investors
2. Misguided investors who thing by buying up to the register date will get the divi - they won't.

For me to short a share, you can be sure I am confident that this is now silly territory - I shorted a furth 50k @ 8p this morning. And I will continue to do so if the price rised - next batch will be at 8.5p if it get's there.

If this hasn't fallen back by the end of next week I'll be surprised. Maybe even by Monday once the issue of the divi is out of the way leaving only the momentum investors.

Don't worry about missing the peak (or the trough) - people generally only make those by sheer luck - just do what feels right and take your profits and move on.

Good luck to all.

ianreid, it's the way the markets are at the moment. Any share that moves heavily in either direction seems to immediately attract traders who then buy with little or no regard for what they're buying. I presume this strategy is working at the moment 'cos there's a lot of people doing it. And I wouldn't be surprised if there are some people who think they'd get the divi...we've had a couple on here after all. There's a lot of new 'investors' around at the moment who think it's easy to make money on the markets (and to some extent it is right now) and are trading without really knowing what they're doing.

YESTERDAY WAS THE LAST DATE YOU COULD BUY TO QUALIFY FOR THE DIVIDEND !!

"Once a company has announced that it's to pay a dividend, which it normally does twice a year, the shares will be available to investors "cum dividend" or "with" dividend for about a week after the announcement. Investors who wish to buy the shares with this right to the dividend will have to do so before the ex-dividend date, the day on which the seller loses the right to the payment.

The ex-dividend date is set by the company after it has announced its intention to pay a dividend to the London Stock Exchange. Because of the three-day rolling settlement system of the Exchange, this marks the end of the period when investors can buy the shares and still ensure that their name appears on the shareholders register in time for the record date two days later. Those buying the shares on the day before they go ex-div will be the last allowed on to the register to qualify.

Payment of the dividend is usually within five or six weeks of the ex-dividend date. But the market should already have taken account of the payment. In theory anyway, the share price drops when the share goes ex-dividend, taking the dividend out of the share price as buyers will no longer be entitled to it. It is at this point that investors can choose to pick up the dividend or acquire a less expensive share. For shares with larger yields, the ex-dividend movement can be significant. "

Hmmn, looks interesting - moving up 10% today. Looks like something is brewing -perhaps a reverse takeover is finally being firmed up and/or a further handing back of more cash to investors, is in the offing.

Azalea, I am holding firm but have a stop loss. You quote a net asset value of 40p and I note that Hi Jhan66 , quotes 41p from Investors Chronicle for Amb however how accurate and up to date are these figures ? I have been badly burnt by a share called Clubhaus which I bought about 9 months ago .At the time
of purchase the net asset value of the share as reported in the Investors Chronicle was stated as 80p so I bought at 42p and thought I was onto a certainty
The present share price is £0.0275p yes 0.0275p !and needless to say there are alot of shareholders demanding explanations from management as they are writing down the assets at ever decreasing amountsand debt has increased at unbelievable proportions . So be wary of forming oppinions aloneon nav once bitten twice shy .

Whilst not an infallible method, I strongly believe in following investors who put their money where their mouths are in a big way; AMB is no exception with Gyllenhammer and fellow Swede Claeson holding over 13% between them. More recently Oryx Int growth upped its stake to 7.53%, whilst AMB itself bought in over 10 million shares at 22.75p I think this is a safe bet (40p NAV) with too much at stake by shrewd investors for events to go radically wrong. However, like most things in life there is always a risk. In this case I have taken it, and looking forward to the second 1p div at the end of this month, with strong hopes of a cash back deal to investors and/or a MBO.
