I would imagine that Sir James Dyson is very happy that his vacuum cleaners are assembled in Malaysia with its depreciating currency.

We have had a bot working GRPH in the recent past and that is why they are successful in destroying AIM shares the lack of buyers ,there must be something done about this shorting and manipulation of thinly traded shares of small cap companies.

[leedskier] 18/8/2015 18:37

The term 'liquidity' has two distinct and separate meanings.The popular understanding of liquidity is as explained above, namely volume.The technical meaning was described recently in the Financial Times, namely the ability of a large shareholder to sell a position without significantly affecting the price.By that definition many Aim shares are viewed as illiquid.In fact the higher the market cap of the Aim company the less liquid it is likely to be. When GRPH was valued at £1 a share the sale of 100,000 shares make a far bigger hole in the MM VaR than the current sale of 100,000 shares.

There is a danger in believing too much in things like "layering," because some of these smaller stocks are just too illiquid and not traded in big enough numbers to manipulate the price enough to make a killing anyway. So you move a price of a 30p. stock by 5p: then try to buy or sell 100,000, which is hardly a big deal. You can't. There's not enough liquidity in these small stocks to be able to manipulate enough to make a worthwhile profit, whichever way you trade.

Yes, in bigger stocks, ok; but tiddlers like GRPH, as an example, will never reward such a strategy enough to make it worthwhile.

The MM were knocking quite a lot of Aim commodity companies,again, today.Have a look at BLVN & XEL.

[leedskier] 18/8/2015 17:10

Same reason all oil related companies, from BP down, were. The price of oil is on a down leg.

[marketeer4] 18/8/2015 17:06

But why did it end up down?

[leedskier] 18/8/2015 16:57

It seems quite few did today judging by the trades.

[roddyb] 18/8/2015 16:22

god help us if anyone thinks this is a BUY

[john henry] 18/8/2015 10:49

Have been adding at these levels.

Technicals have been squeezed, price looks set to pop into the 20s.

Seller appears to be gone. buyers starting to nibble.

[madmick] 15/8/2015 10:47

The simple answer to the layering scam would be to change the system so that once a trade is placed on the order book it can't be removed.
Isn't that how the stock market used to work?

[wskill] 14/8/2015 10:23

We can see what all the manipulation was about yesterday then the MMs filling the 169k order.

[kazz] 13/8/2015 18:18

A,lot of action in the last half hour of trading.
Be interesting to see what tomorrow brings.

Meanwhile GRPH's JV partner, Scomi Energy Services, is securing contracts.



Whilst this article does not refer to drilling fluids, I guess currently every little helps.

This article does however reinforce a view I have often expressed, namely that a weaker Ringgit is of benefit when (Scomi and) GRPH is paid in USD for its oil related products.

Malaysia and Brunei to both benefit from joint oilfields exploration

Malaysia and Brunei are discussing how to share the profits from lucrative oil and gas resources lying in the seabeds in their joint boundaries.

The two countries will soon enter into joint exploration for oil and gas in the CA1 and CA2 fields in the South China Sea along the maritime boundaries shared by Sarawak’s northernmost division of Limbang and the sultanate.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak and Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah agreed yesterday that the pace of commercial exploitation for oil and gas along the shared boundaries should be hastened.

At a press conference after a four-eyed meeting at the palace here, Najib said Malaysia and Brunei would be negotiating how to share the profits once the oil and gas exploration reached the commercial production stage.

“The oil and gas exploration jointly undertaken by Malaysia and Brunei is in areas where there were overlapping boundary claims before. The issues on the boundary claims have been resolved generally,” he said.

Looks like about to start the next leg up imo, this has been overplayed and oversold.

[john henry] 06/8/2015 15:38

Fund raising at 12p imho

Next leg down.

[wskill] 05/8/2015 17:14

Looks like shorts closing to me they are having to work the order book to collect shares .

[john henry] 05/8/2015 16:42

I guess what institutions are left here are dumping their holdings.

Holding GRPH would have been rather embarrassing to their Portfolio LOL

[wskill] 05/8/2015 11:25

All of AIM has the same problem uncontrolled shorting of thinly traded shares you will never see an RNS of any change in holdings even shares with a very small free float, no surprise about its poor performance over the past few years unfortunate as it is for us holders it will never change now it has been left to go on for far too long with very little regulation on shorting tiny market cap shares.

There is a buy order on the book for 71k hope that helps.

[andrewbaker] 05/8/2015 11:10

AIM isn't the problem. It's buying duff shares and hanging on, not wanting to admit to being wrong; especially having seen a good profit after buying, and then falling into loss. I know, I've done it, lol. :( and GRPH is one of them.

... so please you lot, buy a few to push the price up 1/2p at least, then I can get out of my remaining holding (and yes, I did sell tranches on the way down, so not so badly off.)

Indicisive? what, me?

[leedskier] 04/8/2015 16:31

I imagine most shares are thinly traded this month.

[john henry] 04/8/2015 16:19

Leedskier the market simply isn't buying the company, Its being ranked as a basket case. The market obviously sees a funding issue. Hence the share price

No buyers since 13.00 and most buys have probably been a few shorts closing.
