Optimists, pessimists, pragmatists, any other sort of ists, all will have a view.

The sp reached its current level when a significant holder saw fit to increase his position, which validates the view that anyone who wants to build their position will have to pay more than the present level. Major approvals, product launches, notification of "multiples" orders placed or delivered, will all tempt some to seek to add in anticipation of the arrival of profitability. Meantime, we see this daily activity of man trades of no consequence, which I assume is some reflection of spread bets/CFD's. To me, it feels like a launch pad, that's my view

Someone paid 1.18 a couple of days ago, and you claim that?

Really?

Neverhopeful

To balance that thought, I think you also have to take in to account the fact that they have begun the journey to patent, develop, and market, Fruitflow for an entirely different health field. That would suggest that they aren't nonchalant about prospects, but have a strong interest in the IP.

Meantime we seem to be in suspended animation.

Got to be soon hasn't it?

Surely that would very much depend what your average is ? Not every holder is currently in a loss situation.

All the trades of 900k and one 300k add up to the big trade.

Go figure

That's a bit impolite isn't it.

If it's OK with you, I'll comment as I see it.

And if it's not, I'll do exactly the same.

No way for us to know. The trades have been looking abnormal for a good long while, most don't look like actual sells/buys to me. Spread is so large that spread betting looks unlikely, CFD's perhaps?

Starved of news

Do you really think they are selling £450 batches?

I don't

So, you ask if I'm still around on one post, then act surprised now.

Of course I'm still taking an occasional look, and commenting on the travails of the sector, which are real, but you and Trotters act blissfully unaware of.

Hey ho

I guess the demise of several other players in the sector demonstrates that 'fings is 'ard. So they have to do what is needed to keep costs down. Range is limited, selling prices much higher than some other direct competitors, whereas online offerings are at low margin. All fine in a buoyant market, which we are not seeing currently. On the other hand, a proper financial crash looks ever more likely with bond prices the highest for any of the large ecomomies.

Does that make me cautious?

Yup.

Some better sized trades today.

Good to see them return

They look ever so managed to me.

Good to see activity though, it means lots of eyes watching IMHO

Have a look at the Half Year report. I can see no such promise, can you?

Unless you actually read the update, I think you are self deluding.

Until the unanswered question of what method will be used to support a much larger stock holding is resolved, folks will fret.

That's reality, no promise has been broken

Stiff old rental bill to pay for the future then, always rising,

The cash comes in, then straight back out in capital spending.

Whether the expected cost savings of moving to Turkey are raised as increases profits very much depends on whether competitors are doing the same insourcing from the lowest cost areas.

The "need to fund" conundrum still remains a possibility. If stocks nave to be hugely higher, and despite the alternative financing sources which may or may not be available, it would be so good to see a line drawn under this long term uncertainty. The break even/ profitable/ self funding/ cash generative/ dividend paying train is surely about to begin its journey. ???

Volume has vanished, so they can do as they wish with the sp. The 1.25 is an uncrossing trade, so that may be positive.

Needs something to kick start buying again.

As it goes, your last comment qualifies as really malicious!

2009 was the year that interest on bank deposits went so low as to be worthless, there was therefore a rush of folks joining sites like this to be informed about share owning/trading. They were exciting times, highly volatile, with 20% gains, or losses, happening daily. Served some really well, whilst others lost their shirts. TPT lost a massive part of its mcap in that era, many folks thought it wouldn't survive. A lesson perhaps that sentiment has a strong role to play. Depends what size of a crisis the current one is, but it will have a negative influence on the willingness of consumers to spend on non essentials. That's just a plain fact, not just the view of bitter old me. Or maybe the word realistic would be a better fit.

When the key commodity that affects the cost of almost everything is as volatile as this is, no-one can control costs. Believe me, at this time anyone who tells a shipper they will not accept surcharges will not get their goods shipped. Live in the real world, your PR spin is so exposed. Are you paid to do what you do?
