The other day l purchase another 29204 shares from the Halifax and instead of showing a buy , they were shown as a sell. Is somthing going on thats fishy .Have asked the Halifax to explain and still awaiting their answer.Anyone else had a simular problem. The reason l ask is if it appears sales are being made when they are not the market is not showing a true picture of purchase and sales

There must be some news coming soon. Have high feelings for this group. Maybe a interesting announcement will arrive shortly.

[baronstjohn] 19/6/2008 10:23

Wouldn't it be nice if we were able to receive some news for once.

[8trader] 25/2/2008 12:07

Nothing exciting in those results, still only hold a tiny amount,
not selling at 1p so forget them for a while and hope for a run
in the future to sell them out for.

[8trader] 11/2/2008 09:48

Simple.

Because it's a very quiet stock and also a very high risk stock.

1.25-2p monitor is never going to attract much attention, online
as i've stated the limits are hot but that does not guarentee upward
movement.

[rachubb] 11/2/2008 09:41

So why are more not buying?

[8trader] 11/2/2008 09:22

Didnt take a lot to move it again, just a 7k buy.

Spread has been widened to 1.25-2p, online it's 1.63-1.91p...150k v 37.5k.

[8trader] 08/2/2008 18:24

The stock is like a pyrmamid, the mm's have absolutely no stock,
2 buys today including mine for coppers and the price has jumped
up over 30%, anybuy will almost certainly move it, the shareprice is
more than likely going to jump next week until a point where the
larger buyers take profits, the gamble is how far will it go until
that happens, a squeeze like this happens now and again and will
artificially inflate a tiny company share price to sometimes silly
levels, i paid 1.75p for just 15k but that was enough to increase
the bid to 1.63p for size despite the moitor bid showing only 1.25p, a
little fun gamble, how far it will go nobody knows but it does not
matter about the companies prospects, this is just a real squeeze
but i bet i make a good profit on my tiny purchase.

[dennis russell] 08/2/2008 17:35

ASHT is in an interesting market. (I wrote the book, 'Interim Management'). We used to believe that it would be contra-cyclical, i.e business would increase when a downturn crushed the management-recruitment business. It's not, so the current difficult times are more likely to get worse. Time for retrenchment!

[8trader] 08/2/2008 15:00

Got 15k and that's it.

Shame because the limits are just so hot, it dont matter what state
the company is in the mm's do not have stock.

It's 1.25-1.75p but they are bidding 1.63p for 150k online and offering
5k online at 1.75p.

[8trader] 08/2/2008 14:33

Order failed again.

The online bid is now mid price for 150k (1.38p), they are so desperate
for stock but you just cant buy a decent quantity.
