I've noticed that a large trade appears just around 4.00pm for the last few days and goes unreported.

It's happened again today,just look at the link and slide your cursor over the volume spike around 4.00pm again today.

Some 4m shares traded, similar amount for the last few days, short position unwinded ?? It looks that way with all the cloak-and -dagger antics !!

The stock has been controlled by Goldman Sachs ever since the Liberty deal back in 2014, it's been an easy short trade from 275ish back in the Summer of 2015.

Only now it's become of any interest to the wider audience now Liberty want out.

It's just a question of price where Liberty will walk !

Pretty much as expected, no howlers in it. Chance for a nice top up if Mr. market wants to continue its games as it has done on previous ITV announcements.

Good find, it will be interesting in the morning once we get the latest update from ITV.

Looking to add to my holding on any significant weakness.

Good luck all.

Shame, would have been nice to listen in but never mind.

At least it seems that there were no howlers in it, so fingers crossed for the morning !

🤞

2025 AGM starts this morning at 11:00am, does anyone know if there's a live link available so that we can all drop in and have a watch ?

Nice find there, more good news coming in for ITV. Market still keeping the stock below 80p for the umpteenth time, I wonder what's in store for us all this week ?

🤔

Some good points there Pogo but the problem with ITV stems way back to when Liberty first got involved with the company with the 'help' from Goldman Sachs back in 2014 and then the following year.

I don't know if my posts are still on here but I was first in ITV just after the 2008 financial crisis and sold in July 2015 when Liberty and Goldmans got involved in a hedging deal using ITV shares as bait.

The OTC deal had a lifespan of ten years, yes ten years no less and only recently expired and hence my return into the stock.

And its probably why we are seeing all this action in ITV shares now the handcuffs are off.

Liberty want out, let's be clear here if they wanted ITV they have had more than enough opportunities to acquire the company at bargain basement levels over the last ten years.

With dividends over the last ten years and their entry points back in 2014 and 2015, I make it that their breakeven price is now close to 52p !!!

This has nothing to do with ITV management it never has been, it's all about Liberty and Goldman Sachs.

What price are they now looking to offload ITV ????

Nice one BigEgo although I very much doubt if that was the true and final count of the day. We know what these US banks and hedge funds are like !!

Strange action this morning after all the shenanigans of the last month or so, the stock is hardly moving.

Hmmmmmm, I wonder whats coming our way today !

🤑🤑🤑

It appears that it could be either an agency cross trade (matching a seller with a buyer on equal terms) or a closing of shorts.

49,355,372 x 2

Either way, it just adds a bit more fuel to the fire !

Yep, nothing to see here...........

🤫

And then there were three...........!!!

(or so we're led to believe !)

Next week sees Foxtons AGM, should be a very interesting meeting and especially after those record Q1 2025 figures.

What's the likelyhood of that Bloomberg reporter attending and addressing his 'issues' directly to senior management and the Daily Mail reporter and more recently the writer of the same 'copy and paste ' article in the Investors Chronicle.

I'll list the names below in case anyone needs further information from these lot as I'm sure they will be more than appy to oblige :-

Damien Sheppard - Bloomberg

Matt Strudwick - The Daily Mail

Natasha Voase - Investors Chronicle

Looks like the new £7.00 level, approached it a few times now in just a couple of weeks.

May will be a good month for stocks so fingers crossed for a good crack at it next week.

Steady as she goes !

😁

Yep, exactly that. As I mentioned yesterday just look at Carlow alone and then do the sums.

We're just at the beginning of the journey ahead, it's going to be an eventful ride and even more so if Trump backs the US Dollar with Gold come the Summer !!!

🤑

Leaders Roman Group have dipped their hands in their pockets and picked up another agency chain this afternoon, my goodness me when I talked about consolidation in the sector gathering pace, well there won't be much left at this rate !!

And another bit of breaking news, Zoopla is now up for sale !

The asking price, wait for it........................£500m !!!!

What price Foxtons on that basis ????

Another run up to 80p again in the first few of hours of trading this morning and once again the order book gets loaded with a load of small 'orders' on the offer side to take it back below 80p for the umpteenth time.

Lets see what the afternoon has in store 🤔
