Huge pivot.

GLA

It's a piece of p*ss to solve mate - enforce credit card validation if you want to post.

It'll never be done of course for what I would hope to most people are pretty obvious reasons.

I would be highly interested to know the status of his shares leading up to the Moodys $downgrade and their status now/going forward.

We'll never know of course, unless the SEC feel like stepping up.

Do you think Sprott are the only people loaning out their MTR shares?

The reality is that you can't use buys vs sells to mean anything because it's all so bent mate, I merely use those numbers to demonstrate the nonsense of it all.

Trades can and will be used to muddy the waters at all times - not just here but everywhere else - the salient point is what is likely to have been achieved by manipulating the SP down below 8p and with such ferocity this week.

Two things IMO:

1/ Force PIs out by a fast, vertical fall, preferably with some timely "pending administration" / "BUST TOMORROW!!!" / "avoid" posting from the pros

2/ Get the mcap below £100m (8.15p) such that some/many funds will be forced to sell as they cannot hold shares in companies at sub-£100m mcaps

Quite how they play the rest of the game is unknowable of course - if they can get her to c3.5p they will do but it's still a guessing game re prices and timing now for plebs like us.

No, not watching FLYB mate.

Buys:sells @ 3:1 the other day followed by the SP halving then buys:sells @ 1:2 today with a +40% intraday swing.

When I suggested this drop (and the "news") was "retail" the other day I was referring to retail PI's holdings - the collection of.

The longer they can keep her pinned below 8.15p the more shares they can keep collecting from the funds - halfway back to there today ...

Looking creaky mate. More lines? Already done em - it's up to the players now ...

I knew I'd pull you in you muppet ;)

If that was true then the SP would plummet every time Sprott bought more shares at MTR.

Evening.

Quite a day :)

I did have a mooch about for Drapers/SD/MA connections yesterday - plenty of coverage on here as you may expect:

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Keeley's mobile phone(s) ...

Obviously the "trading" has been severely manipulated and if you think much/all of this has been about pushing Debs into the waiting arms of someone else at a gift price then who am I to argue.

A +40% intraday swing on "nothing" is clearly nonsense.

I can't argue mate - ultimately it's been a waste of time although there's plenty of other plays that could have cost us way more over that timescale.

Still a real tough market at the mo too.

:D

As I left it a couple of weeks back mate - it's up to the HNWs that drive this thing now, we're all just passengers.

I'm doing fine thanks :)

:D

This is REALLY interesting :)

No misunderstanding mate - enjoy.

Seems to be a lot of buyers about for such a trainwreck :)

About as trustworthy as Drapers I imagine :)

GL all ;)

When I mentioned huge vested interests earlier I was referring to the whole supply chain, the landlords/councils too.

Put the case that the High Street is wiped out and the only sizeable buyer those suppliers have left is Amazon. Take a wild guess at what happens at a future buying discussion - Amazon own the table and the suppliers can like it or lump it - no competition and Amazon can put YOUR lights out even easier. Likewise if Ashley ends up owning the High Street.

Ditto the landlords - quite frankly, if I was a landlord/council then right now I'd be falling over myself to secure long term deals at discounts that make it worth the while of the likes of Ashley to bother pursuing business interests on their land and which help to mitigate medium-term difficulties for the likes of Debenhams. Just imagine the total square footage of tumbleweeds "prime" retail space left vacant with the likes of HoF, Debenhams and John Lewis going to the wall lol - there are only so many Poundshops you can have in one place and they're not going to be paying top dollar for your "prime" location retail space :)

In the meantime, everyone will continue to talk their own books - Ashley/landlords/stock market players et al :)
