RE: Friday's final price16 Aug 2025 16:25
As SG says, you need to be looking at the mid price (half way between bid and ask prices) rather than the last reported trade price to understand daily movements. Sometimes an uncrossing trade is thrown in at the end of the closing auction at a price which is not the same as the mid price (on Friday it was), and this will be logged as the closing price on charts. But again the closing mid price is the important thing and usually where MM’s open the next session at, unless there has been news or they have strong bidding/selling pressure in the run up to open at 8am. We should open on Monday at Friday’s closing mid price of 43.5p.
A few nerves, given the money at stake may be understandable, but if you are really nervous now, it may be that you should reconsider the quantum and type of investments you are making. The company is in the best place it ever has been, and if you have been invested for a long time, you will be heavily in the money. If this is keeping you awake at night despite all the progress we have made and related share price rise, then perhaps you should consider de-risking.
As you will have read, most of the contributors to this board currently have more conviction than ever as our investment thesis plays out, both on a macro and a company level, so nervous is not a word that I think would describe the sentiment in any way. Excitement or high conviction would be much more likely descriptors.
I don’t say this in any way to be patronising or to give you personal investment advice, I just think everyone needs to understand their own risk tolerances and feeling really nervous about your investment at this stage may reflect you going beyond yours. Apologies if I misinterpreted your comment or if I have overstepped the mark.
