cc, I did not mention IHT.
I don't think the outrageous system of delayed publication of trades is limited to AIM. Certainly it should be abolished and, as in the US, made illegal. |

When investors are avoiding a market over a long time it might be a great opportunity? |

Let's all blame AIM. Couldn't possibly be anything to do with the company having no profits for over a quarter of a century.... |
Rather than closing AIM, LSE could improve it, then it may have a chance of survival, particularly if the changes are applied as elevate.io starts receiving national and international attention and becomes a multi billion blockbuster. Blackbird could save AIM. AIM powered by Blackbird 😂 |

I totally agree with you.
The share transactions should be reported with total accuracy and without delay.
They should state buy or sell and never "unknown". What happens now feels like a form of deception and is less than truthful.
If the government raises the rate of CGT without reintroducing an indexation allowance then that would be very unfair, because in some cases it would result in CGT being charged on share sales which are not profitable when inflation is taken into account. |
Definitely a surge in interest.
You would think an RNS would be close if they are going to do one at 50k registered users.
Some figures on usage and active users would be nice. |
The last insta video is powering ahead adding around 2K views over night to about 8.5k |
Whatever the "authorities" say, there is barely any regulation of AIM companies. It has become a viper's pit for unwary investors and has contributed to the demise of London as a world-class financial centre. |
AIM lost me my pension, so it's definitely a rubbish market place. What's all this hiding trades thing about? it's ridiculous. And all the institutional selling over the past 10 months without no RNS, it all seems to be about manipulation and whenever you see this, it's for someone else's gain. |
The AIM has lost its market credibility with the small investors. It's not an attractive investment platform anymore. |
ISA status would not be affected. |
HB.
Thanks. |

Presumably there would be some arrangement to be listed on the main market.
That would involve more stringent auditing and a higher annual fee, but also direct trading on SETS.
We should be going in that direction anyway. |
The problem in axing AIM is that there are some companies quoted on it that could be successful or even become unicorns. Axing it is bound to create an exodus of investors to NASDAQ and that would cause major problems for a Government that has put its focus on growth to dig the UK out of its economic hole. The main LSE market has failed miserably in his respect. Being reponsible for a successful BIRD transferring its listing to NASDAQ would not look at all good politically. |

Aim has failed in its stated purpose of providing a home for scaling businesses. It should be fully merged with the LSE’s main market, with a special route to listing specifically for high-growth firms in emerging technology sectors.
“In this way, London can differentiate itself from other global exchanges and attract a pipeline of high-quality, innovative companies.”
Tax breaks for investors in junior market stocks should be maintained for companies that seek the high growth path, it recommended.
Some 76 companies delisted from London’s Aim market last year, while executives of “the UK’s most vibrant companies” have publicly stated that they would not consider listing on London’s exchanges, the report said. “Low liquidity, diminished investor confidence, and a shrinking pool of capital available are compounding the exodus”, the report added.
“The UK’s ability to finance growing tech companies is in trouble, but decline isn’t inevitable,” said Zachary Spiro, a policy fellow at Onward. |

What's happens to companies currently listed on AIM if AIM is closed down? Does that article suggest how it could be closed down? |
London AIM market should be axed for failing to win tech floats, say think tanks - via @FT |
