This has so much potential all news quite up beat but down goes the share price ....Investing is a funny old game at the moment....I still think this will come up trumps though.

More (predicted) good news SELL SELL. I find it hard pin point why the price is so weak - I would really appreciate a recent negative review of ASM - all whom I have spoken to / read of are strongly bullish (but who's buying?)

Dont know but I was happy as got in at 23p

[scruff1] 29/5/2008 07:44

Strange how we were down 15% the day before they get 25m. What's that all about?

[martincoops] 29/5/2008 07:08

Well at least they are $25 million richer now.

t_d - you're not the only one.

Surprised to see the drop!?...

scruff1 - 28 May'08 - 20:47 - 3372 of 3373

yep - been feeling that for some time.

The day prior to the acquisition and placement announcement, ASM had a market cap of £123m. As of today it is £102.7m but if you assume that the additional shares (51.9m placing and 28.5m subscription at 26p) are issued and the current price holds the market cap would equate to £121m. So it looks to me like the market is assuming that for now this transaction will be net neutral in respect of the value placed upon the company?

[scruff1] 28/5/2008 20:47

Down 15%. Statement from the company time if continues tomorrow. Good example of why we small guys should not be in the stock market - we operate in a world completely controlled by the interest of others.

I think it is a hedge situation, selling here, expecting t get shares after deal ?

[1leigh] 28/5/2008 20:35

can't find anything relating to xanthus either, very strange. Nothing obvious in the trades today either.

[1leigh] 28/5/2008 20:29

Only antisoma things I could find were :



and



Either insider knowledge or someone dumping for the hell of it.

[benson384] 28/5/2008 20:25

Is any news out on Xanthus' stage 3 trias, i.e. negative. Or is it knocking the price for the US sharehoders to receive more ASM shares in deal ?

[divestor] 28/5/2008 17:20

thought price was already set at 26p? No official knowledge or reason for the price drop. Perhaps some whitesock decided did not like/understand the Xanthus deal.

i had stop to be safe at 23 and it hit that...damn

[jotoha1] 28/5/2008 16:46

Looks like backers are negotiating a nice entry point for fund raising...typical of the times !

[divestor] 28/5/2008 16:42

Sorry DaveNic did not see your post - I think the deal was good and raised the value of ASM unless something dodgy has turned up in the purchase. Are any, eg AS1411 results due? (being lazy not checking). The dive started at noon which I thought might have related to a news release but seems co-incidental.

[divestor] 28/5/2008 16:39

make that - %16.7 odd. No news. No comment. Tree shake? Insider news? Or just sheep panic?

[davenic] 28/5/2008 16:33

16% drop no news....is it the fundraising hitting it all I can think it is on the fact as well there isn't that many sellers?

[mzj71852] 28/5/2008 15:36

this is weird no news and a 11% drop

[divestor] 28/5/2008 15:28

What happened at midday to cause this 8% drop?

[davenic] 28/5/2008 15:05

Whats this all about then !
