I am curently at £1.35947 lol.
However, I may some just to trim down.
Let's see.
You did well to get back into profit!
Patience has no time limit
Certainly recovered from 30p low. I added at 32 & 33 & 35 to right my position and partially trimmed to leave my average on the right side again. Still holding far too many but back in profit at this point and expecting the rise to continue.
A whiff of recovery or a rumour of a bid or a contract and this will soar.
Here is an article from 2010 - I hope to see a similar one breaking soon...... although I guess the price tag of £750million offered from Oberthur is unlikely but one could easily see a £200 million bid which is pocket change to many.

DYOR - with all the board changes etc a turnaround may be underway.
The Fiji contract was a nice extra.

Supply change shortages have eased. Lender and pension fund changes have been resolved so should recover some more.
As Manuel used to say..

MaryBr190 you think this has got good recovery prospects?
Yes now Brian is on board with his vast experience with Mothercare and Pendragon we are only going one way :)
Anyone think this is going to climb again?
It will be the new director announced a few days ago,buying shares..It's not related to trading or takeover etc
This article is more than a month old
Looks like no one actually knows anything!
Do you think that DE LA rue is getting sold?
My average is £1.35 still!
Someone is stakebuilding which bodes well. Maybe a low ball bid is being cobbled together shy of £1
Yep if us not in play it will be v soon imo…way oversold
I did a test sale and at 52.1 to 54.7 I was being offered 54.00 to sell so perhaps some of the trades are actally sells !
Now 54.3 for a sell ie above mid ?

Lots of buys, and no sells though of course for every buyer there is a seller.

Nice to see some traction
This is an odd move, Charles Andrews looked like a good fit so something significant and sudden must have happened for him to leave so soon. Could be the Chair consolidating power as he has worked with Dean Moore in other roles, in fact Moore left the board to became Interim CFO at Dignity for a rather astonishing 2 years and 5 months before rejoining the board. When will the chair act and get rid of Vacher? never known a CEO to be able to destroy sharehoder value so comprehensively and get away with it while continuing to pocket >£400k salary.
More boardroom reshuffling, Charles Andrews out the door after only four months without reason given. Not even a euphemism about perusing other opportunities! Still no permanent CFO even though previous resigned back in January. Anyone would think the role risks being seen as a poisoned chalice.
A lot of people would be horrified at 102p only. HAve a nice low average here so I would be delighted with 70/80p. 102p would be the cherry on the top.
The 102p has to be code for that is our asking price
And a few more ticking up to the close.
So 102p would they cheekily try to bag DLAR at 70/80p?
Fairly interesting trades today.
Bid is coming it seems.
'Subject to shareholder approval of the change of strategy, the fund will not make any new investments and will only make further opportunistic investments in existing holdings where, in the view of the board and investment manager, such investment is considered necessary to protect the interests of shareholders and/or provide the investment manager with additional influence to maximise value and facilitate and accelerate an exit. Any such investment will require the prior approval of the board and will only be permitted where it is not expected to compromise the timescale for realisations.' The fundvis projected to divest and close by 31Dec23..so there must be some scope for an offer here else why buy more?
Crystal Amber now over 16%, with Shroders, Aberforth, etc buying they must see a bid on its way. Crystal Amber are winding down their find so can't see them buying this now unless they see an exit of sorts soon?
