Acceler8 Ventures Share Discussion Threads

#46 I personally don't think it's a good idea to buy at 8am Monday. There's still some trading / hot money in here, so any rise of 10p or 20p will be sold into.

#49 that's nicely summed up. You remembered to include nominee accounts as publicly held shares (which slipped my mind previously). So yes, about 250k maximum free float.

No-one's highlighted on here that AC8 is listed on the main market, not AIM as I'd expect for a microcap newbie.

I'd say be patient before buying. Don't chase a spike. Don't get FOMO - there will be sellers thanks to Friday's tip. I like the odds of something positive happening in the medium term.

Trading at 6x cash. Pretty rubbish.

Exactly still a small market cap too. Could easily double again on their first investment. Guys in charge have a seriously impressive CV and background.

Difficult call. Not 'if' but 'when'. On Friday they were tipped in one of those rubbish tipsheets and buyers piled in taking the stock up to near £3. Then the day traders exited and it came back 30p. Have they now left the party ? Probably.

The interesting thing is if you examine the Prospectus you will see that there are less than 250K shares in public circulation and it is probable than less than half of these are actually available.

The upside is fast and furious when buyers arrive and new highs are likely after each flurry until a deal is announced.

Then it will really fly. My best guess is there is little downside from here but........

Wish I'd noticed these earlier in the week but plan to buy next week. Purely based on the management's past successes & so few free shares should propel these. But after a big spike in the share price, is it worth to see if it drops a little first!?! I'll see how the trading pans our but looks very intriguing & exciting.

The guys on the Board at Acceler8 simply do not do 'failure' Look a their track record. Once they reveal their hand in the weeks ahead, this will fly and be a stellar performer. Pretty much certain.

Very small market cap causing share price volatility. If you want to get on the bus - at the next stop. Monday morning at 8am !!

Yep, former Chairman and FD of £2.8bn company ETO. Probably worth hanging on to see what they have planned.

"In cases like this, the company prospects and financials don't matter a jot."

..True for most shells. But in this case, I think the quality and broad PLC experience of both David Williams & Giles Willits suggests they're not doing this as a punt, but will be putting together a very exciting deal. That's why I won't be selling out any time soon.

There you go. What an idiot that 2 hour, minus 57p trader was on Monday!

Zero free float. £50k of buying should add 30-50% to the price. Then it's a question of when traders start to take profits.

In cases like this, the company prospects and financials don't matter a jot.

Buttcoin

I doubt it. You were not allocated any stock in the Placing !!

[buttcoin] 29/7/2021 14:43

Tooken profites here

[someuwin] 29/7/2021 09:16

A couple of tiny buys suck up all the loose stock.

[someuwin] 27/7/2021 09:59

...Now 220p

[someuwin] 27/7/2021 09:47

Some stock available at 210p.

[dewtrader] 26/7/2021 11:59

Only has 300k cash after costs, won’t buy much with that

[someuwin] 26/7/2021 11:51

High volatility to be expected. But huge potential with right deal.

[bozzy_s] 26/7/2021 10:28

There's your idiot of the day. Holding for a whole 2 hours, selling for a 57p loss. Some people are utterly clueless!

Look at the ingredients here. It's a microcap stock with no free float. Therefore it will, at some time in the future, spike upwards. This is regardless of whether the company is successful.

[someuwin] 26/7/2021 08:07

Can buy £3k. But not £4k.
