have we got anybody out there holding this stock or am i the only one...really like this one ...have been holding for quite a while....cant work out why it keeps going down though...hasnt brought out any bad news although like many small stocks is news driven and whilst it doesnt bring out any news it flounders a bit....but saying that it has got very cheap now ....moneyam seems to have trades wrong though....i would say theyre buying for 4.12 and selling for 4.06 at the moment but most trades appear as sells....your thoughts would be appreciated

Haystack, you do know that VTB has potential, you are playing the game, posting the negative sides to get in at cheaper prices ahead of a pickup, if you were not you would not have such an interest in VTB. All thats happening now is that you are against the people who have brought in already, they want stability and an up, and you want the price down. Its a fair game to play, hindsight is a wonderful thing, you will no doubt miss the bottom with this one as I am sure EVO will blast it up quickly when they want it up.

I'm from the old school, there was, once upon a time a method whereby the market makers if SHORT of stock would RAISE the price to encourage selling not LOWER the price to induce buying

so whats changed in these modern times ??

The markets are low (almost all equities are down) but it goes up it carries them up too. This will reach its 6p before xmas on this basis.

No. I have no interest in buying VTB.

I think that they still do raise prices to generate sellers. It depends on the market mood at the time.

There is no guarantee that a rising marrket will lift VTB by any more than any other share. In fact it may lift it less. In other words it still matters which company you are invested in.

True but it was lifted before and i should be more reason to be lifted again since the company is in better position now. Investors recognised this eventually. The company is in good track now, companies are cutting down operating costs and this enhances the posibilities for VTB to make living out of that.

Too many unknowns now for VTB in the short/medium term. There has been some major share dilution and several acquisitions which are unproven yet. The market does not like uncertainty. There is no way to value this at present. This should remanin weak for a fewmonths to come.

Haystack, it all depends on the markets, should the price of oil go down, combined with the June 30th handover or Iraq going well, the whole market may get a big boost - you do not know - I do not know - does anyone know ? To difficult to call.

And, by saying too many uncertains with VTB, yes this has its downside, but also its upside, you are only looking negative, what happens if every one of those "uncertainties" is going great - wow what a boost - 6p again.

Just face it, you do not know, but are posting only the negatives - fine - thats your choice, but why battle day in day out on here and advfn, if you have no interest in the share - you really are strange. If you have no interest post it once, then go away for a month and post again, once.

Why does it bother you if I post regularly on this stock?

It is the uncertainties that are keeping the price down. If the uncertainties are removed and the answers are good then the price may well rise. The current position is that there are too many unknowns and the price may well stay down or go lower.

Who is this Campbell guy?

Could be Haystack in disguise - picking up good shares on the cheap...

As Haystack has already said he holds no position in VTB and has no interest in so doing, it's hardly likely to be him. It might be me, of course, always bargain-hunting, typical Scot :)

No chance. I have no VTB shares and never have had any.

Rumour on ADVFN is it's sol Campbell the premiership fotballer, also just seen this,

General concensus on ADVFN due to the amount of de-rampers something is brewing.

Just another conspiracy thoery. They thrive on ADVFN. Any reason except that the price is just going down.

I disagree

Another GEM from gordgeko on advfn,

It looks like the heat is on the MM's now - they are trying to drop it to get sells out as they need the stock, and now people are buying more and more.

Do not sell, even if they drop the bid to 2.5 or 2.25, its now the time to BURN the MM's fingers and keep buying more and more.

The drop in the offer price is to cover for a drop in the bid price soon to 2.5p to shake the tree and get more out, do not panic and do not let them.

BUY BUY BUY - its not going to be this cheap for long.

Over at ADVFN - 2 people are trying 1M buys at 3p and no chance - the MM's are short of stock and someone is going to get the ass reamed !!!

Barnyman,
I'm hanging on to the stock I have and would buy more if I could.
What I don't understand and hopefully, you can help me out here,
is, if the MMs are short of stock and want more, why wouldn't they increase the bid price ? surely they would get more stock as people are more likely to sell if they can see a profit. ?
