wouldn`t be the first time i`ve called a sell wrong. wouldn`t be the first time i`ve bought back in higher after selling either. but as stated would rather lose a bit buying higher than have nothing to buy in with : )
Obvious..in hindsight. Badly handles by her advisors....and just ahead of the results. PLC must be furious. Any debt restructuring is killed. ..a buying opportunity again?At least the new broker was involved.
went through previous rns`s last night , was drawn to the ones that mentioned the companies liquidated while under control of some people here. made my mind up then to cash in at a loss today. i could be completely wrong and it rises like the phoenix but for now i`m out. all the best
Well Emma can't clear all her stock as some is locked in for 2 years. Chances are her partner has also sold up here. Not a ringing endorsement of how porta are doing. Sells have been about 7-8m here. Half explained by Emma Kane. Why she wants to sell at these prices I have no idea.
sold out this morning for 25% loss GT. would rather have to pay much more to buy back in than lose the lot. GLA
Emma Kane has sold just over 4m stock here. Hmmm.
Looking at these 2 big sells for 1m and 500k. They match the two 250k trades today and 1m trade on Friday. Still seems to be funds/investors exchanging shares here. The only reason for the small spike in share could be a lot of private investors buying in here. The fact the numbers are getting smaller could be a good sign here. There could be more than 1 seller in play here. The actions on Friday were the signs of a fund clearing out it's final stock. Before this happened we had another fund/investor selling stock too but using a lot of odd numbers for their trades. If it is one seller they are close to 8m shares now. Let's see what happens in next few days. I doubt we will get any RNS till all these trades die away. Mick - With any share you have to ask is it going somewhere? E.g XEL announced today shareholder dilution of 98.5%. Aim shares come with a health warning. I think Porta is heading in the right direction. Just frustrated by the SP and slow progress in last year or so. Least we are clearing out a lot of stale investors here.
3.6251 was sell price all day . above that is buy price all day to my paltry amount of quote prices. don`t want to get hung up on points that are irrelevant. but i liked the question , are we being deluded here. really hoping not so. gla
you are right http://www.londonstockexchange.com/prices-and-markets/prices-help/trade-type.htm
500k late trade. Looks like a sell.
mid price is always an either or , but i invariably look at the time of trade and more importantly the type of trade generated. i wasn`t just referring to the mid priced trades and i couldn`t do said dummy trades to those amounts. it just gives me a handle on the probables at that time whether delayed or otherwise going back to price bid/offer .
Mick. The trade was at the midpoint. It's possible it was a buy or sell. The price for such a large sell might of been lower? Albeit we had a lot of buys yesterday. We did previously have another seller. My gut is the seller had under 3% and cleared holdings.
Oh Lordy......I thought that you were one of the more positive ones too.....hope I can sleep at night till Thurs....
saw the large arranged delayed trades pop up earlier. we really need a holdings rns to pop up soon , to clarify positions held, due to the volumes traded lately. done a few dummy buys/sells today so most reported here are correct . isdx were all buys i believe .
1m sell trade has appeared. Hmmm.
I do hope were all not deluded here. GLA.
I too have topped up in the past week. Lord knows I have enough in this baby but the opportunity to buy at sub 4p will surely not come back and I've need to average my buys down. I agree with Adastra on the new hires. Steffan is a heavyweight (Chair at the PRCA the trade association) and at this stage in his career could have gone almost anywhere but he chose Porta. He then identified Gavin who is in the same mould. Porta looks increasingly like an IR vehicle with Public Affairs a necessary and profitable adjunct. I hope we hear more about the progress of Publicasity and Thirteen. They are consumer shops and do not fit particularly although DW made that work in the Incepta years I would like some evidence that the investment is paying off. A market cap of £10m beggars belief but I have learned from this LSE board, from Adastra and GT, that the debt needs rescheduling. All eyes must be on Gene. If there is no announcement on that it will undermine the other seemingly good progress. Shares 10p by Xmas? It's possible if they have made the progress we anticipate. They have kept their powder dry - i have heard little on the PR grapevine!
Looks spot-on micksnags - smart move IMHO.
The fact that we should see H1 revenue of around £18m should certainly draw a line under the recent sell-off. Despite the Brexit hiccup affecting UK IPO's, that only affects a small percentage of business and pent up demand is now coming through and should accelerate in Q4 into 2017. A lot of Porta's income is recurring in nature which gives visible revenue and whilst Q3 may have flat-lined or judderred, it should more than be made up in Q4. Translational effects on currency have dampened the huge progress at Newgate Australia in the past, but that should now have reversed given the weakness of Sterling. This will be even more apparent in H2. Management costs will have risen as Steffan, Gavin and Charles have come on board, but they SHOULD be bringing in the networking contacts that are the lifeblood of a thriving communications business. The fact that no head-hunters were needed to pursuance these individuals to join is interesting. All three commented on the unique integrated communications format as their prime decision to get on board. I can't believe that this quality of management is not actively working flat out to redress reasons for the disparity between our current £10m MCap and our circa £35m annual revenue. I am expecting such a seasoned set of guys to really nail it at the interims and state that despite any Brexit effect, business is stronger than ever running into Q3 and 2017. If not, then why on earth did they all jump at the opportunity to join the company? Just hope they've all got chunky buy orders in when the interims reveal progress.
got some more today and really hope my faith in the share is not misplaced . don`t worry GT my decisions are my own and i don`t trade on others` postings. been here for a long time whilst dabbling in others. adastra i remember when you appeared and indeed questioned a new face to the bb , with longer than detailed posts usual to the, (discussions), here at the time. days went past , and you must have thought you were speaking to yourself , but if nothing to add , say nothing . all that apart the chart isn`t easy on the eye is it?. i either made some good purchases lately or will never learn that sentiment of a share will tighten the noose
650k trades on isdx. 400k buys. 250k sells.
Hi Riverman - you made a fair call last October; suspect we may well get a replay of last year but this time with substance. The shareprice took a dive in September only to rise to highs in October as directors bought in post interims. I noticed that you've only a couple of posts under your belt all for Porta over last year. Did you just pop back to check or are you still considering getting back in at this level. Incidentally, where did you put the £11k you took out? I trust it certainly made more than leaving it here. Just need the sentiment to change ....... Long story!
Thanks Adastra. So the effect of the loan will not be a huge impact on these results if April. Finance costs will still be circa 600k for first 6m. So a profit is unlikely with 400-500k+ dividends to pay too to controling interests. Revenue is somewhat flat too it would seem. The 1m savings were only just starting to come through. Same for bonus from exchange rates. May onwards? To me second half of year should be much stronger. I hope like you suggest they are working on loans. Overall I have seen nothing to suggest they will be close to a profit in H1 of 2016 Strange the share price is still below 4p here. We saw at least 6m shares sold. I counted at least that in buys before the 1m trade from Friday appeared today. Monday last week had a lot of delayed trades that could of been Sells. That might explain the depressed price here. See what happens Thursday. Is this a bargain share? Someone is still buying here.
God, I'm so pleased I sold when I did. I made a loss at the time.
