@kaos3: You say you have 'studied' it and yet: You do not know the name of the fund which ALGW and SLIM have partnered in. You did not realise that the placing back in Feb/March was to buy 95% of the holding company of the Insurance company. You did not understand that the Insurance company makes a healthy profit which puts the ALGW Group at about break-even. You did not understand that the Insurance company purchase included some $2 million in cash. Your definition of 'studied' is very different to mine.

they have 300 mil to manage - fees will be substantial - when they come and I like it - huge leap forward - in due time ----- Thanks King S - I got that - and even wondered how it is possible to buy "control" of such a big pool of money so cheap? but then in my ignorance - the bills for consultants, lawyers, compliance, travels etc and the "marketing/expansion" needs are substantial ----------- maybe it is not so and can you please elaborate - do they have enough funding (broad, including ev debt) for it all ? TIA

kaos3 - the Bermuda Insurance Co acquisition has already been paid for and completed out of the last placing proceeds - and it comes with a good chunk of cash on the balance sheet to boot.

I read about this sector - it is "unfortunate" - but looking good in general for what unfortunately is coming (not that I know) - an interesting "anti bet" and yup - pretax - those are my targets too any ideas on funding ??

No such thing as sticky hands when a share is cratering. Sold a pile of mine a couple of weeks ago and splurged into i3e for the maiden divi and forthcoming blastoff (worth a look 👀) Still got a few left here. Will probably start accumulating again @ 2-3p. Price will go there IMO, even if I don’t want it to. On a positive note I had lunch with a business friend at the weekend who just couldn’t get over to the US - Emergency flights only. So I assume COVID is the delay to signing off RCF/direct investment. Still think this will happen. Until then, the company is held back.

well I am here to buy - so I "study" it- hence I am waiting and have an agenda lol but please - do some "pumping" by answering me the follows: the only revenue is oak tree management fee and consultations - which atm is not very much - specially because Oak Tree fee is split with the other advisor now they are taking on an insurance Co - for which they need funds 1. to pay 2. to finance the process of buying 3. to expand is there no need for additional funds, specially as they intend to grow by further acquisition

My post on LSE of a few minutes ago: Some 2 million shares have been sold so far today by impatient (or under researched) investors in ALGW to those of us who are patient investors, who understand that GS's timelines are nothing more than his most optimistic hope and have fully researched and understood the Company's potential. Nothing has changed. The RNS regarding the Counterparty's direct investment will be published when it's done and not to suit anyone's timetable. If you haven't figured out that selling ALGW shares when there's nothing going on will just get you a really bad price then you really shouldn't be 'investing' in the Stock market.

Pretty sure it was looking at trades around the time.

[7rademark] 15/6/2021 09:22

500k was a sell, probably from our 500k seller.

[bullrun1] 15/6/2021 09:17

I agree 7T, Reversal in progress..

[801710245] 15/6/2021 09:17

1.5M bought in the last 10 minutes - unless the 500,000 trade was a delayed sell - ...which it probably was. Can anyone confirm?

[cszjrh2] 15/6/2021 09:15

Im not selling. Sure its irritating the news hasnt come through - end of April is a long time ago - but Im following the big money. MW was still buying so. . .

[7rademark] 15/6/2021 09:13

801 I'm still holding, moves like this don't bother me at all, capitulation is when people give up and sell, usually followed by a reversal.

[kaos3] 15/6/2021 09:10

TA 16.3. there is a gap to be potentially filled

[801710245] 15/6/2021 09:09

What does that mean - are you still holding 7trademark, or bailing? What has happened to all the people snapping up shares into 'sticky-hands'?

[7rademark] 15/6/2021 09:08

Looks like capitulation to me.

[terminator101] 15/6/2021 08:51

Falling knife territory. Will there be a dead cat bounce ?

[oilhunter2020] 15/6/2021 08:44

I further hold for a bounce back. Fundamentally nothing has changed, has´nt it? So why should I sell now? the time point for selling was 3 weeks ago. Now its too late imho.

[801710245] 15/6/2021 08:35

Doesn't seem very long ago predictions of 10p within a week were being touted. Where are we going now - do I bail (all my profit is gone - and I'm about to go into a loss), or do I hold for a bounce? Very disappointed.

[onedayrodders] 15/6/2021 07:41

They can't time an RNS to suit retail investor worries... from the comment about an "April update" that never materialised, it's clear that whatever is left is complex and subject to delays and rewording.. resigning ... add to that Covid continued impact and here we are.It's not been canned at least as they would have to RNS...

[pretax2] 11/6/2021 22:44

Well if they don’t I worry about 5p holding next week.

[cszjrh2] 11/6/2021 17:53

Im sure after such a long wait they will treat us and drop the news at a Monday 7am.

[pherber] 11/6/2021 16:16

Anybody else now dread the post 16.00 Friday zone in terms of ALGW announcements? ?

[hoper1] 11/6/2021 15:33

Trade. I have upticked several of your posts over the years as a way of saying 'I agree' or 'nice post'. Just a way of giving acknowledgement or encouragement.

[dplewis1] 11/6/2021 14:44

I think it's for the benefit of millennials who have grown up with Facebook and low self esteem and need to have their opinions validated by a thumbs up.
