Might be better playing this one through a spread betting firm. If they cover this share that is. Probably won't, as the liquidity is so low it would be open to manipulation. Couldn't hurt to ask though. If you find one let the rest of us know.

Have you tried to put the shares in a CREST account? Or is that the same as a Nominee account? Plus you should be able to sell the shares if you go back to the same broker, I know that Natwest sometimes allow this. Not sure about any others though, you would have to ask when you went to buy.

Still on the sidelines myself, just watching this one for the experience. Still a lot to learn, but then again, you never stop learning do you?

I was on the phone when the price moved, I was looking for 61p. This stock is extremely hard to trade 10mins on the phone and still I missed it!

I was also warned that the certificates take up to 2 months to arrive! So if you bought today you better hope nothing happens in the next month.

I will go again to my position on the side lines and watch this one.

UP 1.5p on a small trade, that's what I like to see. Although, the reverse might also be true.

Definitely a good looking chart.

Spread has closed since I last looked

58-62 only 6.5% when it was 11% earlier.

Harry,

Also very hard to trade, you can't trade online or through a nominee account which will also put a few people off as well as the spread.

I am also waiting and watching.

VTH recently declared that they had no idea why its share price suddenly rose by just over 15%,but somebody went for it in a big way on the Nikkei,and I agree that it is massively oversold at present levels.The large spread put me off when I was about to take the plunge. It does seem,though,a very good lock-up,but obviously speculative.Anyone agree?

Do a search on google.com...lots of info, low liquidity though, long term could be good, lost 87% of value, more upside than down unless of course it goes bankrupt!

Directors recently bought shares, they own enough to prevent takeover so no hope on that one...
