Mad Stork, you make some good points. The longer we have to wait for an update the more your point of view might be more accurate. Don't take this the wrong way but I very much hope you are incorrect.

In the back of my mind I have the nagging feeling of the Dutch Tulip hysteria example and am twitchy about the lack of news. Also the non-exec who left recently only makes a passing reference to EUA in his work profile (did he jump before the iceberg?).

Yep, paving the way for something :)

Guys there's unlikely to be a major RNS on what's left of this year.

May have to wait up to March or June like some others have said.

Have a great break and GLA

Onassis, oh the irony, TC is where I lost all my money before, I had used what was left of punt money here to recoup TC losses - hopefully I will do but this shorting makes me very uncomfortable!

Saw this on ADVFN, quite apt I thought:

"This pattern has been played on this share time and time again. Funny how a little while back when millions were bought DIDNT move a muscle. Tells me this is being accumulated. Good sign"

Sadly it is a game of patience but it's a demand on the nerves and what else you could be doing with your lolly

Panino: Yep, nail on the head, it is taxing and a ruddy ball-ache. Hopefully the vodka swilling bears can pull their feckin' fingers out of the borscht and give us some bloody news

I think it's got parallels to the EU Trade Deal negotiations. They either have 2 strong bidders or 1 bidder and they are pushing for a higher price and no-one is blinking at the moment, stalemate. Bit like a Sergio Leone film prior the dénouement.

Just my mad ramblings :o@

Pacha, I think the SP is being played. When I saw the that shorts were being taken up I kind of felt that there would be pay to get the price the down. The classic one recently-ish was Burford and Muddy Waters - there was a lot more to that particular play but it was a smash and grab and I reckon to lesser extent compared to Burford that's what you are seeing here. However I think it's also doubly cheeky - they get the SP down and get a return on their shorting and then can pile in at the low SP to make bigger gains when there's an offer on the table - that's what I think whoever is behind the shorting is up to.

If nothing else, I take solace in the fact that this could indicate some sharp investors know this one has got wings and is soon to fly.

Interesting that were a lot of Shorting notifications and then the SP gets walked down, big boys just making easy money with their finance friends. Current SP drop just a storm in a tea-cup, the facts are sill there - tons of precious metals and a world hungry to consume those raw materials. GLA

Monty, what a name in the report in your link, STUART SCHAAG, COMMERCIAL OFFICER - lolly lol

fair point fred

Jambo, yeah it's an interesting move, might be balancing their risks but I wonder if they are doing it to cover their backs. Have they bought in because they have insider knowledge and then taken a little short to cry innocent if the SP goes up and then they can say well we took a short so we didn't know if upsies or downsies. I'm probably talking twaddle as I'm a rank amateur at this game. Wiser heads will no doubt (fish and) chip in :)

It would be Brill if we got an RNS tomorrow and I hope we don't Flounder and that it's a Sole offer outright and not any chance of a further Plaice-ing but they better get their Skate's on :)

The thread is now becoming Pollocks

I think the whiting as been on the whale, or in the whale probably

It needs to be said much Chowder as folks are Clamming up

I've moved it from fish to elephants, do you think anyone noticed or was it codswallop :)

Alex - hmm, his classic chat up line being "do you want to see my elephant impression" whilst inebriated on the best Scotch Tax Payers could buy

Good points Headancer, all these heavyweights are not involved for nothing, this is going to be a smasher (when we we eventually get the first announcement ;) GLA
