The framework of the AIM market pretty well ensures that ALL companies share-prices go down .

There is no requirement for a trading halt in the lead up to financing so there is a lot of forward selling into placements by sophi's which is technically illegal but AIM regulators aren't bothered about anything .

There total lack of any regulation on AIM is a deliberate marketing policy to attract charlatans and criminals from around the globe in much the same way as the legal industry competes for rich criminals .

Then there are companies which are desperate for finance like Oilex which cannot for whatever reason raise money in their own market .

Unlike for instance the U.S. , there is no disapproval of financial wrong doing in London .
