No doubt a huge influx on to this board in past week or so, hmso was trending on twitter and clearly there was organised trading going on. I'm not really complaining as helped put the price up. Maybe it would be great if all posters had a profile pic, posted the number of positions they held and last 10 trades with dates... We could know better who we are talking too... OK I know folk could post what they want....

Gosh this share has become a bit of a play thing, coincidentally I was listening to an audiobook of traders and isa millionaires and one of the interviewee talked of losing quarter million quid on a hammerson trade in 2008, what a coincidence good ole hammy. History doesn't repeat but it rhymes as the saying goes....

Yip increased short equal to less than half yesterday volume. Not best time to short unless they are hedging a position

Best to Google the term but basically it's a method to sell stock you don't own then buy it back, possibly cheaper. View short tracker dot com for data

Well what a couple of weeks it's been. To date been rewarded very well for holding and accumulating hmso. Likely one of my top trades / investments to date. But I did put plenty of research and thought into it. Well I won't say anymore as I know full well its paper profits and all but going to keep holding till there is a reason not too. Atb everyone

Is that Morgan Stanley selling now? Hmmm

Many targeting 42p plus I believe

I'd just love to see a plus 40% day in the next few months, sneaky takeover coming to light...

Interesting times!

If earnings continue to improve, these should be worth 12£ a share, going to hold... I believe advertising will be key to the recovery of many firms and it appears the newish ceo is coming good on his word

Think they could have been a bit more aggressive with the share buyback, jeez that cash pile!

Haven't looked at my wpp in gosh maybe 8 months, nice recovery happend while asleep.... Metaphorically. Worth hanging on to or more gains to be had.... Just read last Rns looks encouraging

Out of interest I looked at the going concern statement in the previous years results released March 2020, gosh the board were a set of bandits back then, not a single word of worry and it all looked rosy, {despite being at the depths of the pandemic and maximum fear} what a bunch of con artists. That said this years was the exact opposite. I'm less worried now than then, I believe the rights issue was the game changer, plus lighthouse buying in. Morgan Stanley? Just out to make a quick buck... But I'm still happy to hold......

Lpd, I think your calculation is just net asset value divided by the share price, so it would take a 234% rise for the 2 be equal, but for sp to be 60% of net asset value we've a 45% rise ahead. But the net asset value might be a bit harsh {or 40% discount} this is bottom of the cycle asset prices perhaps, bombed out due to covid, brexxit and retail structural change... Asset values may change, perhaps also due to currency debasing and qe,

May seek!
Title misleading minus 1 point

I noted that too, I'm going to compare last year's wording to this year's
But bear in mind in past 12 months lighthouse took a 20%? Stake and Morgan 10%
And do the banks really want all these sites on their hands? I guess not. I think alot of people will want this co to survive. Worst case scenario if it was broken up, the share holder may get back more than current share price {perhaps}

2p scrip div available again

I personally hope it goes down a bit. Buy a final chunk..... I'll likely be wrong but the market may drop initially before recovering, but by 8 we will know!
