CR 888,

These trades happened as per my recent post.

After-hours trading is the period of time after the market closes when an investor can buy and sell securities outside of regular trading hours. Trades in the after-hours session are completed through electronic communication networks (ECNs) that match potential buyers and sellers without using a traditional stock exchange.

Hi All,

Some massive after hours trades gone through. Looks as if most of them could be shorts closing.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

The tactics employed by P H are typical of brokers wanting to make some cash for themselves and some of their anonymous clients.

Wreck a companies share price by making a ludicrous price target that is well below the current share price. Issue a sell recommendation for that stock. Then give a nod and a wink to some of the anonymous clients to buy when the share price is depressed to a ridiculously low level.

That's what I reckon happened last week.

Hi Charles,

Such are the vagaries of shares such as Darktrace. All sugar and spice one minute and then gloom and despondency the next.

However, the fundamentals of Dark haven't changes. It could be said they've improved with admission into the FTRE 100.

I wonder what today will bring?

Carliol

Every little helps - to increase Darktrace's share price.

Hi Jayne,

I'll be looking to buy some more shares in Darktrace on Monday and hopefully I'll be able to buy some at less than 1000p. I think my plan to buy at less than 1000p is more in hope than expectation.

Where the share price will close on Mon is anyone's guess but I think it could be in the region of 1100p.

Although we were all expecting Dark to enter the FTSE 100 soon, Friday's announcement has come as a shock and will have caught many institutional investors by surprise. These I I have had the weekend to come to terms with the sudden announcement and I reckon they won't want to be caught out and left behind. I can't see the end of the lock up having much effect on the sp. Why would these early investors want to sell when the company is now a major player in the FTSE 100.

Perhaps if these early investors were to sell some of their holding it could help the liquidity and they could be selling into a rise. If they don't sell there could be a liquidity problem and we all know what could happen then.

It's difficult to second guess what will happen on Monday and the remainder of the week but over the next few weeks and months I'm sure we'll make some significant progress. Such is the indefinite and inexact science of stock market investments.

Good Morning Charles,

It's been a while since I made a post. it's simply because I felt I couldn't add to the in depth knowledge of the posts on this board. This must be the most courteous and well informed board on LSE.

I made my first buy in Darktrace on 11th May 2021 at 356.54 and I have made a few subsequent buys with my average at around 469.94. This has been my best investment for several years and it looks as if things are going to get even better.

Although Darktrace has had good publicity over the last few months, entry into the FTSE 100 should make Darktrace a much sought after company from two aspects, Firstly, many fund managers will have to buy in because of the investment strategy of their fund and secondly, because the heightened profile of DT will make more and more investors aware of the potential of our company, particularly on the other side of the Atlantic.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if a bid were on the horizon. Given the unique nature of Darks product range I'm sure we could see a hostile bid in the not too distant future. At what price? The sky's the limit.

Monday could be interesting.

Sentinel One closed down on US market. Over the last few days Darktrace and Sentinal One appear to befollowing each other down. Perhaps S 1 is falling due to market forces following a steep rise and Dark is being hit by a double whammy, ie the negative ML effect and also profit taking following a recent sharp rise.

SENTINELONE INC (S) USD0.0001 A
Sell:$54.90 Buy:$54.96 down $2.20 (-3.85%)
Market closed | Prices as at close on 28 September 2021 |

Currently lots of negativity but long term Dark has tremendous potential and remains a strong buy.

Carliol

The share price fell from an all time high of 784p on 21st july 2021 to c560p on 19th Aug 2021. There could possibly be two main reasons for this sudden fall, given that the fundamentals of DT never changed. Firstly, there was lots of talk re the extradition of ML to the US and the effect it could have on the share price. Secondly, the share price has been taken down in anticipation of a set of impressive results next week to enable some deep pocketed investors to buy in at bargain prices.

Since the low price of c560p on 19 Aug 2021 it has now recovered rapidly and closed over 700p today. Surely it's no coincidence, but during the recovery we've hardly heard a mention of ML in the financial press. We've also heard of some seriously big investors getting on board during the sharp fall.

It was always a certainty that DT would be admitted into the FTSE 250 this month. This only confirms my belief that the recent fall was, to say the least, questionable.

Looking forward, given some of the positive press, particularly in the US, I'm sure the all time high of 784p will soon be over taken.

Carliol

Dark is seriously undervalued following the issue surrounding ML. The share has been oversold due to the ML issue and investors taking some substantial profits following the IPO.

i reckon we are now on the move to ,hopefully, achieve new heights as we approach the publication of results on 15th Sept 2021.

Carliol

C R,

Brilliant find. This item simply reinforces my confidence in Darktrace as an extremely profitable investment. it looks as if Dark could be a take over target for a giant US technology company. Given to value of Dark compared to the value of an equivalent US company surely Dark must be on the acquisition radar of some major US companies.

Carliol

TYpo in previous message. Year should of course be 2021!!

Hello C R,

I intend to go to the AGM in Sept 2012. I hold all my Darktrace shares in my nominee account at HL.

To confirm you are a shareholder you need to phone HL or the company you hold your shares in and they will write to you about a week before the meeting to confirm your shareholding. I attended the AGM of another company I was invested in a few years ago using this method of identification and everything went very smoothly.

Hope this info helps.

Carliol

I omitted from my 07.16 post the following -

Yesterday - shares sold 247,020. Shares bought 644,993.

Good Morning C R,

To obtain a reasonably accurate figure of the number of Darktrace shares bought and sold, have a look on the" Dark share price" icon on the top left of this page.

I don't understand why stamp duty is payable on Darktrace buys - such are the vagaries of the stock market.

Although it was disappointing to see the sharp fall of yesterday and this morning it wasn't altogether unexpected but I think it has been over done. Profit taking most likely. Massive bear raid probably. Following the market this morning, maybe.

The fundamentals haven't changed but with the Russian cyber attack it could be said the fundamentals have improved!!

Let's hope for a sharp recovery.

Carliol

Good Evening C R,

It's extremely encouraging to see the share price hold above 500p. Particularly when the market is having a poor day.

The factors you list make Darktrace a a share that could easily out perform even the most bullish investors. However, I did a top up last week and I must admit that I'm a bit too heavily invested in Darktrace but I'm willing to take the risk.

It's certainly not a share for widows and orphans but it's definitely high risk high reward.

Best wishes from a hot and sunny Cumbria.

Carliol

Charlesrixon,

It looks as if the share price should hold above 500p.

The 3 x £1 million transactions I mentioned earlier today must surely be institutional investors jumping on board.

There's an old investor adage which goes as follows -- " Follow the big money."

CR. Who knows - maybe one day the big money will be following us private investors!!

Carliol

Just noticed a further two buy trades for £1 million have also gone through at 09.14 and 09.15.

Some one's very confident.

Carliol

Buy trade just gone through.

09.22 Shares bought 284,018. Trade price 501.648. Consideration £1 million.

Not your average Private Investor. Must be institutional purchase. I only wish it was me making the buy!!!

Carliol
