Im starting to feel a bit twitchy here, any opinions as to what next. I think its going to be while before we are due any RNS. Goldman has now downgraded this. Im hopeful that the board wont let this sink much further as they all bought in around this price not long ago. I think this was one share that should not have cancelled the dividend, I cant see how there long term contracts or there staff are affected that much by the current situation. I also think they will be part of the solution when we have to spend our way out of any downturn.

Having analysed the buys and sells, the only considerable volume is either after hours or first thing in the morning. The rest of the day its just silly games, dribs and drabs trading. The last 3 sessions, all featured a big buy at close so the next day it opened slightly higher. They cleverly manipulate the price all day dropping it lower so they can buy again at the end of day. I think around 104p for this share is the price floor (at the moment) so it makes sense that big buys are occurring (albeit on the sly).
I must take this opportunity to say what a great investment my 240p buys of RBS have been, although these are well and truly locked in (and we may not see this price for a very long time) I do think there is money to made here in the short term. I did another buy a few weeks ago at about 110p. Im hopeful we can get beyond that before the economy implodes...

This is bargain time IMO, with a confirmed dividend. Ok, demand may drop slightly, but that doesn't seem to concern anybody over at RDSB.

Shame most of the miners are down today (and gold). Doesn't make any sense IMO. Seems people would rather chuck money at RDSB.

Hi, yes I see where you were going now. You were originally referring to the volumes on those days in April. Yes PH and LS appear to have sold off some shares. Thanks for the tip about nex, I shall have to read up about it. It does appear that there are a few more other major share holders, so this could go on for some time. My worry is that a slightly positive RNS will be cancelled out by more heading for the exits.

Shaml89 I am bit confused, where are you getting these millions from please. I would like to better understand your point. On here (LSE) it says there has been 400k of shares sold, value at £26k. Are you saying this is only a fraction of the sells actually occurring? Or have you posted this here by mistake!? According the this site, there are only 73m shares to start with, and you are talking about 94m. Very confused.

I think we should get a trading update next week, going by last years RNS dates.

If we see 2.50 again within the next week I will get rid of the rest of it.

Was in a similar position averaging around 4.30. I bit the bullet and started selling, already glad i did. Bought in to mining, which keeps making gains. I sold Aviva yesterday, so already not lost the 3% you guys have lost today and up 4% in mining. Yes Aviva will bounce back, but no time soon. Financials have a poor outlook IMO. Even If I make 5 - 10% elsewhere and this drops 5 - 10% once I bought back in, I will be better off. They should not have cancelled the dividend. There is no point holding Aviva in 2020.

I ended up buying some HGM instead, to spread my investment a little, since POLY makes up 13% of my investment. HGM also up 4% today and on track for a dividend. I sold out some Aviva, just wish I had sold more of it. Oh well.

Told you it was bad ass. No all kidding aside, I am very tempted to invest more here. Sold a few other shares at a loss today, if the opportunity is right tomorrow I will buy more. Also think it is unlikely the dividend will be cut here.

Bought in late February @1410. This is one bad ass share. Is it worth adding at this price?

High-frequency trading, also known as HFT, is a method of trading that uses powerful computer programs to transact a large number of orders in fractions of a second. It uses complex algorithms to analyze multiple markets and execute orders based on market conditions.

This is a relatively low volume share and it is easily affected by algorithmic trading so hence orders are lower.

Also Phoenix went ex divi without a fuss, and not heard any news.

Buys to sells 10:1

Should be due a trading update around mid April, which I think will be positive, especially as they have operations in China too which is coming back on line.

Hello EC, while I am not as bullish on Halfords as you are, its nice to read a bit more sustenance and explanation in your posts. Unless we see the books at Halfords we are not going to know how well things are going. As an investor it is encouraging to know that other people like you are see more upside here. Have you considered that they might be out of stock due to supply issues? or unable to commission bikes? or any raft of negative reasons?

Last week Shell went up 10%, I suspect the insurance sector will go up next week as there is talk of dividends being safe, so regardless of how well Halfords are doing, I think money could be working harder else where. This also reflects the low current share price. Just look at RBS, which where about £2.30 before CV19, and are now about to go sub £1, as they are not offering a return this year, but a truck load of risk. These companies are now not great propositions, given other stocks are recovering.

Its funny EC, when i check your other posts you actually seem to have a grip on economics and are quite sensible about the oil companies you post on, yet for Halfords you keep posting this gibberish. (almost like 2 different people make the posts). Like most people I want Halfords to do well, but your 'obviosly must be selling loads' is laughable. Is that why the market thinks 60p is a fair price for Halfords, down by over £1? Do you know what percentage the cycling sector makes up for Halfords sales - 33% according to their website. Motoring is their main sales arm, and it will hurting badly now. It just seems a rather futile exercise in trying to ramp the share price, which you are not doing very well at and will not manage at all. Your unfounded predictions and aspersions are adding nothing to this discussion. This IS a great time to buy in to Halfords, but only because the price is so low, which is reflecting the time and risk the recovery will take.

Thanks for the link, how does it help Ceres exactly? I know that Weichai are share holders.

RBS also cancelled after ex div date. And after reducing dividend when final results announced.

Just wanted to say Groover, I noticed a few people say that they cant trade in an ISA due to tax reasons. I am trading in an ISA. If I sell a share, the money stays in the pot, and I can buy and sell again and again. (all be it with the issue I first mentioned). Thanks all for the advice.
