They have increased the EMS up to 1.5m from 1m. Perhaps the MM's are getting ready for larger volumes to go through. News can't be far away now.

The deal price was thought to be between €1 -€2Bn for creed. No wonder MM has had every PE house after THG. Surely THG's beauty division alone is worth considerably more than Creed and yet THG have a mkt cap of circa £1Bn. If the market fails to value THG at a fair price I can't see it remaining on the LSE for long.

So many retailers in the UK are rumoured to be takeover targets. I don't think it will be long before this hidden gem is on the receiving end of one.

I think there is more likelihood of ASOS and THG being taken over rather than Ocado. Unfortunately most of the UK's retailers have been shorted to oblivion so there is no surprise that they will be picked up one by one. I doubt that many of them will be listed on the LSE in the next year as they will either become a subsidiary of a larger retail group or on the books of an overseas PE firm.

Give it a few days and they could have had a few £'s.

If the BOD don't think it's cheap enough perhaps they should roll up their sleeves and ditch the desk for shovels and picks and find us an exceptional 1000ct diamond, even better if its a pink one...

Could it be the 51 signal meaning that they are short of shares? There was a delayed 50k buy at 9.18.

Hopefully this latest move by MM will garner more respect for him on this board and elsewhere. He has a vision and I'm sure he will do well for all his shareholders.

I've been buying a few more today. I'm tempted to buy big with this current mkt cap.

You would think the Mali Government would want to speed it up because it's in their benefit to do so as the taxes will come rolling in sooner.

If we have to wait another month then so be it as it's not long in the grand scheme of things.

They should start buying back if they have any faith as the mkt cap is less than £28m. That could be the cash balance if they find a few large stones. This is getting crazy. Get the buyback started...

Do you think the directors are taking the proverbial when they state on the website under shareholder information, "We are committed to creating value for all our shareholders". It would seem they are confusing the shareholders for the Lesotho Government, the community and the directors.

When are shareholders going to see this value creation? You would think at the very least they would be buying at these prices. Apart from Clifford the rest of the directors have a very small shareholding.

I couldn't agree any more Sharefall. I'm doing the same.

I'm sure Mike Ashley has a better understanding and grasp of the UK retail market than the hedge funds shorting this, so I take it as a positive that he is buying in here.

Come on Huyton isn't that bad. It's probably home to some of the friendliest people in the UK.

They didn't put out an individual RNS for the last stone. They just included that in the last trading update. Perhaps they are no longer issuing RNS's with regards to large stones anymore and will just headline the major finds in a trading update. We could certainly do with a 500ct at the moment though to get the share price moving in the right direction.

The tenders finish on the 16th June.

They could be waiting for the money to come in from the Antwerp tenders.

With IG allowing closing only in doing this they have tied up a lot of shares, as how many holders are going to sell knowing they can't buyback. This could move up quite rapidly imho.

Well I'm certainly not one of them. I have increased my money 5 fold on IG and I'm happy to say I'm one of the 99% long on THG.
