....yes, they definitely noticed it.
Firm BUY. imo.

A juicy piece of underlying information provided within RNS announcing GM to amend A.of A.
Fascinating. Looks like the market noticed it too.

Probably held up in their returns dept.

Those steering the wheel are making a shed load of money, while those reacting to daily movements are losing shed loads.
On the upside, when the 'driver' feels like it, the price will act - with equal energy - in an upward direction.

Very interesting movement.

Did you manage to buy near to the magical 1.50, today?
I'm averaged at 1.95 - only 1k in cash terms.

As you say, this could be a delusional buy. Or, it could be inspirational.
I don't place many buys of this type. Will accept a loss. If it grows, will just leave it in play.
Fascinated to to watch it play out.

correction: 450, not 150. wishful thinking on my part :)

Investec changed their broker guide from buy to hold, hence the drop.
There was nothing to suggest they have leaked info. Most of their report was based around general sentiment in the consumer sector and their sense that growth was not evident going forward to the degree expressed by the board of directors.
I reinvested yesterday below 150. Personally, this looks steady, investment into plant is on target (plannng consultation with locals went live in September with no major objections) and divi looks good and secure.

Nothing so romantic as the parting gift from a broker scorned.

I wonder if Mars Petcare are watching.

The aim is to limit the amount of retail investors seated within the winner's enclosure when the trophy money is being handed out.

Major shorts have just been granted their ultimate window to close their positions with reduced dilution of potential profit.
Nice of Goldmans to help them out ;)

Yes, tagged onto my 8:02am news feed this morning.

Goldman says sell with a target of 100.
Interesting timing, just as the major shorts appear to be showing signs of exiting.
I've started adding again. 5k lots under 110.

Indeed.
I took a long position on VOD during Thursday trading, with a further transaction on Friday.
Circa 20k holding.

Group CEO could have just used today's RNS to just announce new appointment of Chief Data Officer, but took the opportunity to state:

"It is six months since I took over the role of Group CEO and trading momentum continues right across the business"

In fact, it was his opening statement.

Nice move. Good timing. Good appointment.

Being 'direct' does not exclude you from 'bias'. Very amusing.

I wouldn't buy or sell based on comments from a chat board. The mind has a habit of swallowing the information that lends to confirmation bias.

Ask yourself the question, based on today's price and the company's operations as well as taking into account sentiment would you buy into the company? If 'yes' then consider holding. If 'no' consider selling.

Make it a thought based decision and not an emotional knee-jerk decision.
Best of luck.

The price is holding the 3ema comfortably as the 8ema is about to cross the 50ma.

This is happening because the hedge funds are allowing it to. They could stop it, if they 'sell more'.

The balls are in the court of 'who's got the biggest balls'.

At this moment, the hedge funds are not serving. Equally, they're yet to leave the court.

Your theory is plausible.
Nothing would surprise me, and there are buyers in the pet/vet sector - as we have already seen.

Im really interested to see what happens tomorrow.

You can't ignore the 13.5% of short sells. At this point it's as much about psychology as it is fundamentals. It's akin to knowing there's a big bully at school or the fear of crime. Will he strike again? How long before he goes home? Some will fear holding the stock under this umbrella of 13.5% into March 2019 as we leave Europe.
You can see how the shorters have time and psychology in their favour.

If we discount Moniman's theory for a moment, and concur that the hedge funds are shorting in the belief that there is further to fall - then God love us all because as i said early, there will be a lot of pain felt by someone sometime soon. And it's very plausible that the pain will fall to the hedge funds. Simply put, with all their 'current' might and determination the price is NOT falling.

As i said, let's see the buyer appetite tomorrow and Thursday to measure the current flow. For sure, Engadine will be watching and they will act accordingly - which could be no action at all. They are effectively leaving all the running to those who want to go long.

Better than a TV drama :)
