Happy New Year one and all

Here's to a healthy, happy and prosperous 2020

You can see the short trades every day in this stock, heaven knows why they picked BVC, but I guess they see it as a way of making a few bob, the share price until more recently had been on a good run from 25-52p, bring back the time when people invested because they wanted to see companies doing well and prospering!!

Worrying picture since April/May its fallen from over 50p. I thought there would be a new year bounce but its proving to be same old BATM. Lots of talk about proof of Concept and partnerships but no significant orders. Time for a shake up with the management team.

Reduced my holding by 2/3 as I couldn't see an end to this constant fall day by day.

[jpuff] 27/12/2019 21:37

I'm on the point of selling up if they drift any lower - can't risk any more capital in this awful market.

[fse] 27/12/2019 16:12

I figured they might drift for a while but they are really sold off for no apparent reason. My latest tranche bought at 42p are out of sorts. Cant really explain this current weakness at a time when the company is making decent progress in all segments of the business.

I topped up this morning and will probably add more before the lunch time close.

[car1pet] 24/12/2019 10:30

Not looking good today selling before end of year. Will it be tipped in the new year? I hope so as I want to get out in January.

I bet Standard & Poor and Moody said that about their credit rating techniques back in 2007/8

Apart from one larger transaction , at the close of trade yesterday , which was a " sell " for about £ 62,000 worth of shares , all the trades in the last 24 hours have been quite small , no doubt only by private investors . Furthermore , unless I'm missing something , there does not appear to have been any bad news from the Company . Given this , I suspect that what caused the price to drop was because it had been drifting gently down for a few weeks . Not long ago , it was about 42p and I suspected at the time that it might fall to 40p , which was no doubt the stop-loss level selected by many private investors , thereby generating trades ( income ) for the market makers . Given the above , I remain a holder . Some posters here have referred to hedge funds and other powerful forces . Well , some time ago , the Investors' Chronicle had a large article in which this stallion of the Financial Times stable discussed whether or not markets are loaded . The considered judgement of the Investors' Chronicle was that markets are not fixed . Mr. Numpty .

Are you looking to invest then or are you a trader only?

[davr0s] 19/12/2019 20:00

Nope - i get accused of all sorts of stuff. No trade here atm for me

[jpuff] 19/12/2019 19:50

I assume you want to see it go lower then? A non holder perhaps?

[davr0s] 19/12/2019 19:27

That's good then

[jpuff] 19/12/2019 19:22

I didn't say it was

[davr0s] 19/12/2019 19:11

This is hardly capitulation

[jpuff] 19/12/2019 18:48

Capitulation is normally the point of maximum despair at which point the day after you've sold up at a big loss it reverses quickly! It's the hedge funds and shorters in my view that are causing this market instability and losses for pi's. There's always a danger too if you don't have a stop loss that you lose the lot! I might just stick it under the mattress and earn a better return than the stock market casino though.

[car1pet] 19/12/2019 18:12

I agree stesh. I've held for 10 years and all we have seen are false dawns. I've lost patience and will sell up in January unless there is some tangible positive news

[jpuff] 19/12/2019 17:45

Totally agree Cumnor, my whole portfolio is looking like a motorway pileup! Not a mention anywhere in the press about the current market dysfunctionality though and I've been investing for thirty years. Never known it to be worse!

[car1pet] 19/12/2019 17:32

Stesh That is an end of day "uncrossed trade". There is an algorithm to calculate it.
It doesn't necessarily mean that will be the opening price tomorrow. The share price has been hovering around 40p recently. I expect it to continue unless there is some negative news out there. It would be helpful if there was some positive news but no sign at the moment.

[stesh] 19/12/2019 17:09

Have the results been leaked ? I can't think what else might have caused a drop like this. Any theories ?

[cumnor] 18/12/2019 15:01

The markets are pretty dysfunctional of late and its easy to see why a lot of decent, private companies are shunning a float. Add to this the growth of hedge funds and shorting and you see investors shunning even good companies. There are opportunities for these grossly undervalued, growth businesses (eg Gan risen 6 fold in little over a year) like BVC imo but the market is either too blind, corrupt or stupid to give them the valuations and credit they warrant. Frustrating I agree.

[fse] 18/12/2019 15:00

It pays also to have a few trading shares in the pot to even out investor sentiment.

The present value of BATM as has been summarized on numerous occasions is in the value of their IP. We are at later stage development with products and solutions many of which are now available in the market place. They are holding their own financially with what’s initially out there. The company was forced back to ground zero 10 years ago and had to totally re configure.
I have been in the US on business recently and the progress towards 5g is rapid they are not going to get left behind on this. A lot of what Telco and Arm are doing follows on from this rollout.
There is a good summary from the AGM from gerihatrick a few posts back.
What’s frustrating is that the market is not reflecting the value of the present day IP.
