Extraordinary!

Looks like more downside to come then...back to 400p possibly when the dust is settled.

bit extreme I'd thought but there again anything is possible. £44 seems along time ago!

Well, it was a 10-bagger.

Looks like a fall from the top of Mount Everst! -about 70% from its peak.
Is anybody able to pull out a chart on the mining section as a whole?
No doubt there will be many similar falls.Aricom,a 250 co. have gone from 107 to 17.

How much lower can this go?

In practice 0p but I suspect it is testing the bottom of a few weeks ago. Will it hold there or not is the question.

Now at a price last seen 5 years ago.
good time to get in?

Been much better 3 trading days ago when it was 600p!

Been a good day trader stock so far today.

Just wondering if this yank manufacturing report due out this afternoon might put the dampners on the markets.

Do I take a nice profit it or let it run, decisions decisions.

wonder if there is anything on TV this afternoon.
