The Big Disconnect
Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2024 8:52 pm
Here I am again, I don't often feel the need to post here or read the posts. I understand why others might be here, and hope they find what they are after while reading members posts. That said there has been a lot of negative feeling of late around Greatland.
The company silence is deafening, the share price continuing its poor performance and downward trend, an optimist would say "sideways" but that depends which way you orientate your laptop. For a long time I have followed the charts (no expert at all), following each daily up, down and sideways action. For a long time, I'm talking 2021 we roughly followed the path of GDXJ, please don't go techy on me and convince me otherwise, but we did trail along on a similar path.
News of the JPM short had us wonder what was going on, and maybe reflect on have I done the right thing, "What do they know?" In the end that didnt amount to a hill of beans.
The trail of GDXJ continued. Gold went up and down and back up again, the volatilty rolled with every day. Throughout 2021 Greatland continued shrinking giving up its highs each day. I gave up many weeks of comparing GDX/GDXJ to Greatland, it was often very similar and often not similar.
Each day I have checked the daily trades on LSE for volume and the bigger buys and sells, No fact in this guesswork but it helps me keep in touch with the reality of what is and isn't happening, rather than hearing and reading bias. On a point of bias and ramping, I am not Greatland p1ssed, I have a decent long position with a low average. The biggest gamble for a non gambler of my life.
And then I saw a terrible slide with GDXJ constiuteunt companies and Greatland was at the very bottom. Quite odd such a marvellous asset should be at the bottom of a list as diverse as GDXJ. As if the Gold didnt exist, and was never going to be mined, and the top shelf board is a figment of our deluded imaginations.
So I went back and started looking over old stuff, back as far as 2019 looking through old RNS, news articles and so on, then I re -watched a recording of an online meet with a reputable PM market broker & geologist. It was an in depth chat about the Gold market, juniors and new discovery's.
Something that came up was the mostly unkown and unfollowed AIm market, we all love to hate. Rife with spivs and MM corruption that we rarely get to hear about, but know damn well it happens. They will be here reading this perhaps, Like they did in the private Maru chat group. Spivs. I don't care what they read from my posts, this is about me and what I think. I am prone to being wrong, but I have my colours on my sleeve and detest corruption, dishonest people, criminals.
Anyway back to the theme, I decided to look at my charts, having made the decision that AIM was the biggest weight around Greatland's neck currently, and the spivs therein maintaining a steady downward tilt of selling into and then accumulating. I feel we have a mixture of long position accumulation and short position selling, not disjointed but coordinated playing the share price to maintain the downward spiral.
What the charts did show me, and bear in mind it is through my goggles which sometimes need a wipe, they showed me the PM move started on the 28th february 2024. I have checked many companies and a lot of them flipped positive on or therabouts that day.
Up until the 28th february , Greatland had continued with a loose follow of the GDXJ path. Checking the disconnect of Greatland against GDX brings the same diverging pattern.
So while may of the worlds best juniors have started making fabulous gains, Greatland diverged from those moves and spirallled further down.
Anyone with greater experience of charting is welcome to make their own comparisons and then disagree with me, I would love to see a deeper more experienced reply.
Let me know what you think. I'm today reflecting on the low quality of AIM, its market makers and the mostly unregulated short betters.
Why would this disconnect happen when everything else goes up ? Ideas on a postcard please.
AIM is a dog folks.
