Guys, it doesn't require a genius to work out why this is dropping.
A lot of investors will scan for stocks in systems such as Stockopedia. This what they have (worst=0, best=100):
Quality: 19
Value: 3
Momentum: 9
StockRank: 3
Overall Rating: 'Sucker Stock'
Investment Style / Screen : James Montier 'Unholy Trinity' Screen (Short Selling)
Generally speaking, I would not touch a stock with metrics this bad. I hold PRE, because I think there's good long-term value, I believe in the story and I've done my own research. I am not a fantasist though. We'll only see a significant number of new investors when the above metrics improve. Until that point, it will drift downwards.
@Hogsnipe: "Just have a look at todays PRE trading so far". Perhaps you're right. With investments like this, I tend to expect lots of shenanigans and scale-in very slowly. I'm not too concerned about the short-term price movements on this stock. If it drops, I'll add more, but I don't yet see any bounce, and I don't catch falling knives.
