The Chairman doesn't seem to think MCRO is a value trap. A decent sized top up too. He will be in a better position than the Hedge funds with regards to future prospects. It will be interesting to see if they start reducing their positions.

There is considerable inherent value in RR and they have a proven track record of making the finest engines in the world. Over the years they have spent billions on R&D and have been at the forefront of engineering yet we have hedge funds that have decimated the share price for their own financial greed. Admittedly the share price would have fallen but not to the drastic lows we see today. What are the Government going to do; support the tiny minority of ultra wealthy hedge funds that are hell bent on destroying a great company or helping a company to continue to prosper inventing and creating the next generation of specialised engines. The greed of hedge funds and the ways they go about it is beyond contempt and perhaps a good way for the government to help such companies is to tax the hedge funds at a far higher rate. How many billions have they made at the majorities expense? How they can justify what they do from a moral perspective is laughable. When the hedge funds boys are on their transatlantic trips maybe they should take a look out of the window and reflect that those RR engines have safely taken them to their destination safely and quickly time and time again...

Exactly Roy and many thanks for your kind and gracious words yesterday.

Beautifully summed up Andy.

Maybe the time has come for the Government to pay for their use of their golden share in RR. How about a £2.5Bn loan at 1%...

Gladstone had a 2.4% short on Aston Martin and other hedge funds were hanging on their coat tails and managed to push the share price down to the 20s. They got rattled and bought back to having a short of 0.99%. Don't think for one moment that the short position is only 3.8%, it is most probably triple this number as hedge funds only have to declare positions greater than 0.5%.
If MCRO come out with positive news we could see a massive bear squeeze...

Who really cares what JP Morgan think... They gave FRES a 550 target a few months ago. They were over 1300 last week. They really do have an amazing grasp of the market don't they... I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.

Toff - Firstly you need to recognise the difference between somebody who is proud of their country and someone that is a xenophobe. I can't help the fact that I am proud of what my Father and all my relatives did for the war effort. My Father joined up at the age of 17 to join the Parachute regiment and he was the only member of his friends to come back alive as the rest were killed in action at Arnhem; literally days after training. His brother came back from fighting in Borneo at half his body weight. My grandfather fought for the duration of both world wars. I had a great uncle who in the end literally had to drink a half a bottle of gin before he could get into his plane. My Great-grandfather was awarded the George Cross. Fortunately these were the lucky ones to come back. I could go on and on. How that makes me a little Englander, xenophobe or a person of low intellect is beyond me. Clearly assumption is everything...

Secondly because I have sold shares doesn't make me a shorter as I bought them in the first place, I did not borrow them. I think you are conflating the argument as selling a share is not the same as shorting. A person should have the right to sell what he or she owns if they bought the asset in the first place. I do not know wether you are a person of low intellect or not.
I am white, that assumption is true. But I am married to a black woman and I have mixed race children. Does that makes me a little Englander and a xenophobe? Not sure. Doubt it. I'll leave it to others to decide... Assumption is everything. You might want to watch that especially if you consider yourself an intellectual...

Borris's main idol is Sir Winston Churchill and he praised the likes of RR's engines in the Spitfire which ultimately saved Britain during WWII when we were under attack from the Germans. Now RR are under attack from Hedge funds and many of them from overseas. Surely if we could fight off the Luftwaffe we can fight off these parasitic spivs. I very much doubt there will be a rights issue as the price has fallen too far. RR is a very much loved iconic British brand and we as a people owe a great deal to them for supplying us with all the engines to fight off evil invaders. So many people owe a great deal to RR not just British people but all the minorities that Hitler would have totally wiped off the planet. The shorters and trolls on here are complete and utter low life. The lowest of the low and no better than the Nazis...

Looks as though the hedge funds are paying certain individuals by the post. Best to avoid and filter...

You are right John there is little respect for small investors and a lot of shorting is done by US hedge funds. I personally think the UK should distance itself from the US. They short our tax paying companies and go long on their operators such as Amazon and Apple whom pay very little to the exchequer. It is Palin to see yet the Politicians don't want to see it or are afraid to upset the apple cart...
This situation will back fire as look how much tax Amazon pays in the Uk and look at the people it employs, mainly people from Eastern Europe on low wages and compare them to say M&S whose staff are prominently British and pay more in taxes. I wish the likes of JP Morgan would just all Bugger off to Frankfurt and wish them all well learning the German Language. Auf nimmerwiedersehen...

This has just been set up for a takeover. It's why shorting should be banned as the potential acquirer can push the price down with a comparatively small outlay. Look at todays fall of 4.5% with just a few hundred thousand shares traded. The practice is so transparent yet the perpetuators repeatedly get away with it.

I find it amazing how hedge funds go in packs and decimate companies and get away with it. It's also quite bizarre how they can justify valuations on companies like MCRO yet they don't use the same parameters and metrics for the valuations on US tech companies.
With regard to momentum and the ever increasing values of US tech companies I would urge investors using this strategy to check out Newtons theory of gravity...

They will have to close their shorts at some point as vultures will circle at this price. I have seen this happen so many times before.

That is a very dangerous game. Basically what you are saying is follow the sheep. Fundamentals are the most important thing when buying a company as that will see it through thick and thin but having said that my investment horizon isn't 10 minutes.

The current share price is a joke considering investors were happy to buy shares at 230 at the height of the pandemic and now they have come out with a positive trading update they are 100 lower. The patient will be rewarded handsomely imho.

Pets at home came out with a good trading statement and are up over 16%. Immersion have a 3.22% short on them, the only other short they have is Bab****. Kontiki were also shorting them but they have now less than a 0.5% short. I hope Bab**** can come out with a good trading update and bugger this lot. It just goes to show that sometimes they push the wrong companies down and create a price that doesn't reflect the true value of the company.

Citidel and Ahl increased their shorts as of the 22nd. Well on the good side at least they now have more shares to buy back. This should be trading a lot higher if it wasn't for the short scum. Lets hope they get their fingers burnt with this...

Shorting has been banned in European countries as they realise we are currently not in 'normal' times. At times such as wars and pandemics it is morally wrong to make money from others misfortunes especially those who do it are already in the minority (wealth wise) of the population. I personally think by not banning it, it shows that the governments allegiance remains with the ultra wealthy and not with the masses who many are struggling with redundancies etc.

The situation with regards to Bab**** is despicable because their major client is the MOD. There seems to have been a coverup of whom was behind boatman. We know about the ex times journalist but who was paying him to write what he did and why go to all the bother of doing it using a Panamanian domain. My guess is that it was commissioned by a competitor who wants to buy Bab**** or a hedge fund.

How this isn't in the 40s I don't know. I wonder what else they could potentially pull out...

And another couple of good finds. They are certainly hitting the sweet spot at the moment. At this rate the value of stones recovered will be worth more than the market cap. I couldn't resist picking some more up. I think the market is asleep and these latest finds have gone unnoticed.
