OK so AST is having a sensational day so far.
Anyone out there with pearls of wisdom?
5p now, gone up 2.75 since I was looking at it an hour ago.
Bugger!!!

No idea!!! got back in this am. MM are very short of stock

Settlement, i dont think the MM's know what this is worth and they are trying to find a trading level to suit

Could've bought in at 25p buy price at one point this am. Glad I didn't, back down to 10.5p mid.

Scary.

Scarier when I was looking at buying yesterday at 3.5p up 200% and held off. Still doing it the old phone way, should be trading online next week and can't wait for it, in and out as I please

Ouch... got my fingers burnt this morning! Only had a small punt, nothing ventured nothing gained etc lol

MM Shuffle

This stock behaves weirdly. All sells but up again. Something happening that we are not party to?

Iturama,

After the major daytrades when it came to market, I noticed a pattern withthis one... MM Shuffle the spread...

Last time they did so (about 2wks ago), it went up 75% ish then back again then up again 40%ish ... only to settle back roughly where it started... All within a few hours time frame... Creating a quick buck if you grabbed and ditched them right... The key then was to be in at 5p or less and to quickly close out at 7-8p...

Thanks mam247. I remember that day (10 Dec) and remarked on it at the time. Can't understand what is in it for the MM'S though.

Iturama,

Had my eyes on it because it had happened before... Key though was the 5p ish entry... Thanks for the feedback.

MM Shuffle... On the go again...
