Hopefully pushing on between 275 and 300 from now on.

i just hope the share price stays low until my bonus comes through in about 4 weeks time . .. fingers crossed!!

Seems I'll have to wait a bit longer for £3 :-(

The eratic performance of this & one or two others starting to put me off smaller companies altogether.

All part of the learning process.

[epsilon mojo] 16/6/2011 16:24

Nice intraday reversal & may even end the day up?

Edit: maybe not then :-(

[epsilon mojo] 15/6/2011 19:21

Only two days left for funds to add these if they haven't already - end of week rally towards £3 maybe?

Edit: end of June sales update as well if last year anything to go by.

Not far from it myself but ESR up 40% helped things.

[valediction] 10/6/2011 19:25

A lone blue in a sea of red for me today

[battlebus2] 10/6/2011 17:15

Large volume today by FOUR standards.

Episilon Mojo - according to the records I have for trades on LSE, ACL only meet the liquidity requirements on 7 of the past 12 months. For entry they need to meet at least 10 months.

Having said that, my liquidity checks sometimes don't stack up with what FTSE does. For instance, I don't understand why VP. still qualifies for entry.

[epsilon mojo] 10/6/2011 00:17

Had a feeling Typo might be the man for this CR, his sterling work over on the stockchallenge site comes in very useful around the time of the quarterly reviews.

As doubleorquits has already highlighted, ACL must be a liquidity issue as very lightly traded (not entirely sure why though, given its recent trading).

Cheers to all for replying - those muddy waters are slowly begining to clear :-)

[cockneyrebel] 09/6/2011 17:21

Episilon Mojo - Typo56 is the person I was suggesting might know why so he's done his bit before I asked :-)

£3 next move imv.

[typo56] 09/6/2011 14:56

DorQ, I'm not sure but I think the liquidity rules are only checked for existing companies at the annual review. What changes between the quarterly and annual reviews is the SmallCap addition/deletion band.

The addition/deletion levels are percentages of the full market cap of the SmallCap constituents. For the quarterly reviews they are 0.20% and 0.05% respectively. For the annual reviews the band is narrowed to 0.15%/0.10%.

I do check against the liquidity rules using the trade records from the past 12 months on the LSE. However, my results often don't tally with what FTSE decide to do so I assume they are taking into account trades on other markets. Hence there were quite a few new entrants to the SmallCap announced yesterday that caught me by surprise.

[redips2] 09/6/2011 14:28

Fwiw---just spoken to my man at Redmayne, and he thinks these are still good value.

[cfro] 09/6/2011 13:57

Nice to see this one coming to life now. To me it looks like the tracker funds are quite underweight here, so they should imo keep on buying for a while yet.

[epsilon mojo] 09/6/2011 13:16

Cheers doubleorquits, not heard your name here for a while; used to see your name all over these boards in the old days - one that could always be relied upon for well informed, intelligent posts :-)

Whilst on the subject of new issues, I don't suppose you know why SHFT is yet to appear on the FTSE index list?

[doubleorquits] 09/6/2011 12:52

ACL is definitely a liquidity issue, not being traded in sufficiently high volume. It missed out on the last review as well although because this is the annual review I thought the rules were less stringent. appears not!

FOUR doing nicely. A good one to add to for me because it was on the cusp and trackers would not have bought ahead as I believed they might have done with shares like NXR which were already firm entrants.

PER another one might do well but investability only 40% I think. However a new issue so unlike with other stocks moving to the FTSE250 the funds that track shares in the SMX do not have to sell any.

[epsilon mojo] 09/6/2011 12:42

Cheers for that CR.

[cockneyrebel] 09/6/2011 12:30

don't know about that Epsilon but I know someone that might know - will let you know.

FOUR going well today :-)

Should carry on up to entry and for a week or two after too - if history of a lot of these small cap entries are to go on - but nothing guaranteed obviously.

[epsilon mojo] 09/6/2011 11:34

Looking very good, funds buying in ahead of 20th June reshuffle imv; looking for £3 to £3-20 myself over the next few weeks or so :-)

[matt123d] 09/6/2011 10:55

Looking good

[epsilon mojo] 08/6/2011 19:16

Apologies for O/T but ACL thread too quiet to get a response:

Does anyone know why ACAL is being excluded from the Fledgling but not being added to the Smallcap/Allshare despite its 91m market cap? (I assume it's because of the lack of liquidity/limited number of free-float shares in issue).

Edit: FTSE's index series' rules for anyone having trouble sleeping ;-)

[battlebus2] 08/6/2011 18:17

Bad markets probably held us back today cfro.

[cfro] 08/6/2011 18:12

Surprised this didnt move up today actually.

[cockneyrebel] 08/6/2011 17:48

yep, NXR entering too - both should do well out of that Epsilon - I'm holding both :-)
