Thats interesting... Need to have a read through that but looks like they are buying the stake out from BEHL.....

Do some research. FTO own large stake in CGH.... CGH pay a dividend....

...look very strong and growing healthily in a slowing market..Unchanged dividend for the 6 months.... http://iis.aastocks.com/20141126/002060420-0.PDF peterg40: No idea sir....

By this day next week, we should all be a bit wiser....I do hope.. There could be some very good news next week....:-)

Cheers rugs...saw that earlier quote of 8.49p didn't stay long... back into 8p, which makes sense of your post... Cheers again...

Why the big 13% spread all of a sudden? 8.49p on the ask!!!!! I don't think so....

Thanks God for hope....:-)

Can only wait to see what Wednesday week brings...... Only bidders about are in the low ball 7.20's area.....no movement from Winterfloods for weeks on this stock...

...is the date that CGFH announce their interim results... http://www.chinagasholdings.com.hk/uploadfiles/2014111205401530.pdf FTO could be the same day so.....

Another major China Russia deal on gas supplies, it would appear is not far off.. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/nov/09/china-russia-sign-accord-on-2nd-gas-route/ Also closer ties with S Korea as well. This is interesting as CGH has a major stakeholder in S&K holdings and is looking to expand its gas distribution division into South Korea.... http://en.ria.ru/business/20141110/195413635/China-South-Korea-Very-Close-to-Signing-Free-Trade-Agreement.html

............. 15th August 2014.Q1 2015 Financial Year (“FY”) Interim Management Statement "The Company is principally an investment holding company at the present time with dividend income from each business unit as the core cash inflow to the Company rather than cash flows of the associates and joint controlled entities which we account for on an equity basis.The policy is to pay out a significant share of any surplus dividends but not use borrowing facilities for this purpose. The Company expects growth in dividends from our interests but scale and timing is currently uncertain...." I do hope the scale and timing becomes clearer by the end of November.....

I hope it arrives before Chanukah...:-) It's marginally earlier...

Fact: The sp has been hammered since the July results. Fall from 12.50p to current 7.50p. Fact: Our small divi was cancelled. Fact: We are now temporarily an Investment holding company. We own no controlling business. Fact: We have lost our premium listing for a standard listing because we own no business. Fact: Chin Gas Holdings (CGH) is the country's largest piped-gas distributor by number of networks across the nation. Are the number one dominant force and growing. Fact: CGH's current Market Cap is HK$68.7 billion.....£5.55 billion pounds. Fact: FTO directly own 184,119,463 in CGH. Fact: Through FTO's 50/50 JV China Gas Group (CGG), FTO indirectly own another 737,374,000 shares in CGH. Fact: FTO interest in CGH is currently 18.62% Fact: They have a near 25% steak in Bluesky aviation largest aviation distributor by volume and growing. Fact: They have at least two more JVs with SOE in energy sector.. Fact: Worth remembering these values when looking at the current sp..... So, our sp is currently in the doldrums but usually is around this time each year (check the 5 year chart above). Half year results are due by the end of the month in tandem with CGH in Hong Kong......Expect the unexpected with this company...:-) Good luck all...

Winterfloods were given over 2.5p on their quoted bid/offer first thing this morning...Its narrowed back in to a 1p spread...:-)

Lots of "O" trades again going through again and on the full ask too....

To put it simply rugs...no trades are ever never marked, as a buy or a sell.... just a trade.. The delayed trades are put through up to an hour later when the price has changed or moved on.... ***Disclaimer*** It should be noted that all trade declarations made by the market do not include a buy or sell indicator and therefore we have to derive this information ourselves. The policy we have adopted is based on the mid price of the stock at the time of the declaration. For example, a trade declared at a price that is higher than the mid price at the time of declaration would be put in the buy column, a trade lower than the mid price would be put in the sell column. A trade which matches the mid price would be considered unknown. Please also note that the market can delay declaration of the trades for up to an hour in which case we will not make any assumptions and place that trade in the 'unknown' column. Please also note that many investors are able to buy and sell within the spread and also users of level 2 systems will actually be buying at the perceived sell price, these trades might therefore appear to be wrongly categorised. "A" trades are usually purchased by traders who have direct market access (DMA)..."O" trades are usually purchased by investors....

Just have a quick check back through the trades on LSE, to the 21 October and you will see that there has only been one "A" trade on the offer side of the L2 book, which occurred on the 22 October for "2" shares...:-) All "A" trades have occurred on the bid price only, including UT at the end of each day and the majority were very small trades or possibly holding trades... It can be seen as a bullish pattern to the trading in the shares.....

Sorry, just seen your post ...Fri.09.01am.... Its not new, that action. If you look at all the buying in the last week or so, it is mostly "O" type trades. Now they are after the offer price on the book or ask price...The price rarely ticks up on "O type trading, usually for a good reason. There are plenty of shares on that side of the book looking for buyers.Most "buyers" of FTO are reasonably ok with buying at 7.75p...ish. They are your investor who phones up his broker to buy stock. After our recent fall, its hardly likely to see a rise even with all the buying as there are many shares to be bought around this level. L2 are the share that are not matched by buyer/seller. So when an "A" trade goes through straight off the book it affects the price immediately. Remember that 7.51p small "A" trade is most likely someone buying cheaper then the 7.75p "O" trade. Traders buy on the bid price not just the offer......

Even the buying is driving the sp down....only with FTO...LOL.

You could give them shares in FTO...:-)....but you might be regarded as been a little bit mean..LOL. But they do have some interesting contacts and it is easy to see how Danny boy got financing a while back to increase the exposure in CGH... Money is not an issue for this family....and they do seem to aim high...
