Bid_no_lid, the current SP is likely being maintained through 50k buys, for whatever reasons. Unless you plan to buy 1M shares, it is unlikely that you will place a dozen 50k buys.
Scroll back and take a look at large PIs, like Mazik, who've been buying 22-26k share lots over many weeks. Why the odd numbers? Because PIs usually focus on the amount of money they can invest - not the amount of shares.
If a private person can free 5k Pounds today, they often pump the entire sum into the share of their desire, even if they have to buy an odd 58,825 shares right now.
Meanwhile professional investors (and me:)) normally look for round numbers in their PF to maintain a decent overview.
Lets give them a Weak Buy again.
