price been at 10.75 for the tail end of friday and half of this morning, and not able to get a quote, or it's been 11.345 region on the rare occasion it did quote.

someone's filling an order in the background i think.

i'm going to be forced to top up and average down, that certainly wasn't in my game plan!

I read the RNS this morning before work, and whilst i will admit to not fully understanding all of the implications etc, i was surprised to see the SP in the red this afternoon

so far from breaking even, and now this pos is back on the slide, back in the bottom draw it goes

oh hang on a minute, prices are all screwed up, ignore my last (for the time being at least lol)

i was thinking it might this morning,I was looking for sub 420 to buy in at, looks like i blew my timing again!

I hope not Acker, with recent events i'm hoping he's been reigned in a bit and now has others to answer to for his useless money management

Agreed Justjay, I saw the RNS's and thought good, we're not going down that shaky path, but.... surprisingly, it hasn't helped stabilise the SP any, in fact it fell on the news, very surprising

whilst not all bad, and in some respects good as it lays out road maps, the problem is those are irrelevant in tanzania, and lots of jam tomorrow in that RNS.

Then there's this gem at the end.... " the Company has opened discussions with the Tanzanian authorities regarding the return of the licence to the Ministry of Energy." ...... tI am beginning to believe more and more that this region as a whole is so.... corrupt, for want of a better word, that this seems to be their entire game plan, get smaller companies in to take all the risks doign initial leg work on surveying them simply ignore them and block them in the legislature till they either walk away or go bust, giving up the licenses that cost a fair bit of money in the first place.

yeah, a special dividend would have been simpler to understand and figure out, but, with the recent share buy backs and their plans to reduce the shares in issue, a special divided wont help that.

my problem is i've been burned several times on consolidations, in fact, unless you're prepared to almost double down on your investment, long term holders just get stranded with huge averages, hence why i'm very reluctant to dip my toe in now

Ex-Dividend date, usual to see SP fall a little, unless it's very strong.

had half an eye here, decided not to buy before the dividend, given how shares seem to fall far too much after the ex date, but the question now is, is it worth me buying in now or wait until this consolidation is over and done with

Agreed, I was going to top up on Monday, but didn't find the spot/price i wanted and then saw the RNS yesterday and thought i'd goofed a bit, but to be honest, a 6.5% fall today was not what I was expecting, very strange behavior, perhaps the market was expecting better in the Avacta results, with more definite timelines and ABDX involvement? I really don't know, but odd SP movement for sure

that's what i thought, risk free.... boom, down 23% wtf

good luck all

yeah I got that message too after my last post.

Looks like there's unlikely to be any different outcome, like i said with ANN's share vote and the share volume with voting rights they've accumulated, it's effectively a done deal, even if a better offer was put forward from NEX.

I'm watching the small share price fluctuation and will sell very shortly, so long as i cover the same money as the deal i'm happy, and wont have to wait around to get my money

i'd rather he didn't do an interview, the man is a pr disaster, and the SP will drop 10% just because he's opened his mouth

No Corporate Action notification requiring response in my H&L account, that sounds like yours has already decided its final, if so they should have set an end of trading date.

meant this RNS.... "Offer Update - Threadneedle Share Purchase"

by Pan European Inf, that Bidco is buying up a controlling stake to force their purchase through, along with ANN who has agreed to the deal already, giving them over 27% of the voting, i think i'll be out of this monday morning if i can get 105.4 or higher which will effectively give me the same cash as the deal taking into account my sales fees.

I am interested to kow what this section at the bottom of the RNS is all about, whereby after Threadneedle have sold the shares they say this...

"Threadneedle has notified PEIF III Bidco that, as a result of selling its entire interest in Stagecoach Shares, it no longer intends to comply with the terms of the letter of intent provided to PEIF III Bidco on 9 March 2022."

wonder what letter of intent they are referring to
