The parrot has arrived...
Bbg, interesting reading your last post to rcgl2.
" you must think we're muppets if we believe anything you say"
Funniest thing I've ever read on here, you calling people liars.
Bloody hilarious
Agreed - what nutter would want to buy roughly 15m shares over the last few days?? Perhaps we'll here that XIB have closed their short and well done them if cashing in.
The fact that there is more trading offers some hope of better news imo.
I'm sure the sp will be a lot higher this time next week.
Then everyone kicks themselves as per usual..
Let's see
Rcgl2 - yeah your correct mate, manipulation doesn't exist in takeovers... you must think we're muppets if we believe anything you say
DBW, yes, someone is selling, but someone is buying the shares from them in off-book transactions.
As Sire mentioned earlier someone clearly dumping
A bit like MR I see a reversal fairly soon ….. but who knows??
Red, just for clarity are you accusing me of making those comments?
If not, you ought to be more clear about who you're referring too.
And actually, tbh, I don't think he's been far off the mark in his comments, as much as you might not like them.
Oh and to actually answer your question from yesterday, which I forgot, I'm not looking to buy in at a low price. But I am looking to ADD at a low price. It has something to do with me not being in the habit of buying now when I still think it's on a downward trajectory.
BBG - if you ever used your brain instead of flying off the handle with insults at everyone all the time, you'd realise that what I just said about XIB is good for Solg, not bad. XIB sold some shares short, they have been proven correct, it's just a very minor part of their BAU investment strategy. What would be bad for Solg would be if XIB were part of some sinister conspiracy to manipulate the share price down and engineer a low ball takeover, which is what some on here seemed to be suggesting.
No doubt you'll start a new thread with "RCGL2 = TWAT" as the subject line. No need, I saved you the effort of typing it.
RK, there wouldn't have been a market maker involved.
Back in for me.
Because they've 'gone through' mono...
As I understand it, a large seller has to place the whole order with one MM, but the good news is that there is almost certainly a buyer on the other side, presumably with a 8.50/8.55 limit to buy...
Rest assured that if you had a 2 million buy order in at 8.60/8.70, you would have got filled...
Unfortunately we are minnows who have no influence on the market...
However, the good news, despite the falling price, is that liquidity has improved markedly over the last 20 days...5.5 million average daily volume (taken at todays volume) compared to previous 20 days 1.6m...thats a 250% increase...
All we need now is some NET buying...
Probably not finished
Although the trades were off-book, this time they were transacted in London.
Down 1.7%can anyone explain what the f is going on
And no sp movement?
You need to recalibrate BBG but I'm sure you know that.
The post is bang on the moolah.
Fort, interesting that the IEA is predicting that peak oil will occur before 2030.
Rcgl2 - thats a big email in defense of XIB...
Smells dodgy
At last... wakey wakey.. here go
2 x 2m blocks gone through at same price as yesterday. Have they preagreed a 8.55p price now?
Not everyone has your rose tinted spectacles on, of course there is a risk buying at 8p today……
Not everyone believes your fantasy posts and figures, there is a reason it’s 8p and none of it relates to your daily conspiracy fantasies
Well if they are long 'quality majors' then they'll be suffering on those... most are down by over 15%. Some down more than 20%. They've done well shorting the minnows but like you say it's small change reall as 15m shares roughly £3m in spend. Barely cover the yearly lunch bill on these hedge funds.
Quality majors in mining are flagging. Meanwhile, fossil fuel acquisitions are on the rise with Chevron and others paying the most they ever have for more of the dirty stuff.
They and others obviously see fossil fuels going much longer than the green eco warriors want.
Spot on ortherncopper, there are a couple of dangerous posters in here red ramper definitely one of the worst offenders. He has earned his clown moniker status
All of the recent large trades have been off book and away from the London Stock Exchange. In other words one party has been buying from another in private transactions. The obvious question is, who are the two parties?
