Great link WWN, I have always thought that companies with a Price Monitoring Extension RNS against them were having difficulties.
But it appears to be just an odd trading pattern that is most likely. Cheers! Maybe troubled companies are more likely have weird patterns with investors using stop losses and buys to try and protect themselves?

Cheers Casa - never noticed that members link tucked up at the top.

I clicked on "Members Tools" but none of my filtered list came up :O)

What a day - I am working on my spreadsheet for X-O analysis and got into the most infernal loop ever!
After Stop and end , excel resumed the loop ad finitum! Could not do anything - not even scroll a sheet to see what was on the offending line except through watches.

Stop gave access to the code and reset would exit my function ok. But then the loop would be reactivated again!!!!!

Finally clocked what was happening!
The function is used by all my sheets , and my code needs calculation option 'automatic' to be ON. or it does not work. I am using "evaluate" to call a routine - it is an interesting command - but needs automatic it seems!

When I changed the function it was therefore refreshed every sheet with that function! All of them.
Howerever, the Activesheet remained as the one that I was focused on.
But the arguments in the function call were from other sheets which caused all sorts of problems!
I was adding ISA figures in my nominee account and vice versa, depending which one I was focused.

My problem is I cannot be beaten by these things ... always been the same!

To kill the llop I changed the number of arguments for the function so every function call became invalid and then Excel gave in. Better than killing the program and trying to decide which version you want to recover? Quite a neat way out I thought!

I guess SM pick up the brokers fees and the stamp duty on the Open offer? Enhanced fees for the brokers because they have some real work to do on te excess shares and keeping us all on the straight and narrow so we don't miss out because of their mistake.

It is becoming difficult to see where you last left off with so many messages on here.
If the last thing I did was to post here, I go to a quiet board I am on, quickly find a post of mine there, click history on myself, see the date and time of my last SXX post and then find that date and time on the sxx pages.

Either that, or click on anyones history and change the resultant URL so it is your name!

Anybody got a cleaner way?

Just realised why the X and Y figures change!

We discussed this very problem when a poster did not get his expected quote on the OO.

On a day trade for Z shares, Z are new of course on the buy.
BUT when I sold Z on the same day these were taken from Y and the new Z shares were pending settlement!

Knowing this means I can adjust the price paid manually to get an accurate view.

You can be mislead by the brokers portfolios.
I am correlating my accounts which is easy on X-O because they allow you to go back 10 years and download EVERYTHING into a spreadsheet.

I thought they were showing I had spent more on my shares than I had!

I started with my cash positions on nominee and ISA accounts and indeed proved that what I had paid for my Sirius shares in the nominee account was actually more than I had deposited!
Their figures until then looked possible!

BUT what they did reflect ignore any bed and isa's I performed between my accounts!
Both accounts reflected deposits from my bank whilst in truth the nominee received that cash alone!
So, I bought shares within the nominee account which I subsequently sold on a bed and isa and the funds were credited to the ISA.
My ISA is correct , but money needs to reflect it came from the nominee account and not my bank!
OR, as I have done, I treat the transferred amount as a refund (or withdrawal) to my bank.

Those refunds/withdrawals highlight how I appear to have spent more on SXX shares than my deposits.

Day trading shows the anomaly quite often. You start with X shares bought for amount Y.
You then buy Z shares on a day trade and sell Z on the same day for a profit or loss.
Your account should return to the original X and Y figures but it doesn't.
All these discrepancies mount up over time.

Hello Tom, Tony talked about it on a video. I have found this one which breaks up when I play it.
As you suspect, I think I have misheard what he was saying. He talks about strong water flows and gradually lowering the water and I think I did as you thought. I understood he meant pressures whilst he was actually talking levels.
I get that now.

5 minutes into this video is the bit I heard or misheard. At the time I knew nothing so it was very interesting to hear what the significance of dewatering was and I'd have believed anything I thought I heard.

He has just announced they reduced the dewatering flow because of the high pressure.
Could be a lot more than the expected water - now how was he to know that in advance?
Why is everybody so impatient?

taste - you may not care - but you do! - why else are reading these pages today?

more = higher percentage of the request

If Cliff and Maestro have it right then HL looks like the broker to be with on this OO.
They look to be distributing twice the number of extra shares to mine.
If the numbers are correct it appears to show the more you requested the more you got?
I was about to reply to troy that his ploy risks getting none on some OO but this flies completely in the face of that!

Perhaps Myo got it right (I think it was he who said the % would vary between brokers) and HL were not asked for extra shares by many of their SXX customers?

It will be interesting to see which brokers proved best for their customers when everything is settled.

A week might be how long it takes for Sirius to get the right number of shares to each broker?
X-O have not credited the entitlement shares by value yet - and stated they were not tradeable until they did?
I think was in one the posts on here but may have been direct from them?

Shareprice more attractive here than it was before the dog walk.

Used 4 poo bags today - I bought her a Webbox Ham bone yesterday and she 3/4 of it over 2 hours.
She's picked up the rest now and is hackingaway at it. The first 3 bags were that bone, like firm male gonads, bet you did not know there are female ones too? Ovaries are gonads. I checked to make sure they were what I thought!

Depends on the packet? I reckon 10 or 20 or deah?

Your wife drove you up it I suppose? Wish my wife could.

So we all have 80% of our excess payments to trade with after refund day?
Tempted to pay that amount in today, and trade at today's price, or is it better to wait?
And should I buy SXX or TLOU today? I know - I'll take Poppy out and make up my mind then!

On X-O it is easiest to check transaction History to see the wood for the trees.
My entitlement shares are counted in my portfolio by number but reflect a value of ZERO!
On the Transaction History they show as zero value whilst dated the 23rd?

However the excess shares show the true value and count!

Hope that is clear? i.e. Look at History not at the portfolio if you are on X-O.

HL may be different of course but worth seeing if it is the same?

So the lesson I learned from this was I should have applied for ALL my Excess shares from the ISA because it was seemingly a straight 20% .
I split them unless they limited to numbers to a number of shares per account.

Perhaps they did? It would be interesting to hear if any X-O customers received less than 20%?

How did we know you are with X-O ? We do now! Wasn't that hard was it?

Cheers - mine have now appeared on both nominee and ISA at X-O!
19.87% on my ISA
19.9% on nominee account

I know you feed ofdodgy things , but you really should give your source for that 20% bottom-feeder.
I think I have seen you on video? Not much nourishment in that case!

It looks like computers are buying back today - loads of automatic buys.

97p target - must mean party now at Wetherspoons :O)
