oh that was 17 posts

I mean 16

actually 15 posts. I wish people would be factually correct in publishing figures.

Gonna add more Weds so a slight retrace would be welcome. Been IASL since I first bought in. Averaging up again and happy to do so as I have a hedge against any fall. One of the most promising sectors around and HSBC are delivering on it.

before 1.6p on the bid collapses. Hard to tell whether it will move to 1.5p or 1.5p for a time. Not much underpinning the SP currently.

BUMP. Burst through 1000p and deservedly so. The placing at 825p was excelent value and am only sorry I didn't have funds for more. Still a 20% return is no small change and I think there is more to come.

Good morning Noel. Normal service is resumed. The dodgy dribbly ones are selling presumably while spouting nonsense about moon trips and multi-baggers and god knows what. TBF to Dribbly he did mention he was thinking of selling some previously.

Hi Ryl, I am looking at this share myself and if I was a holder i could answer your question. But as an experienced investor but no expert by any means I can tell you that I would not worry about any event 14 years ago in any company. Any issues would have washed through by now unless it is just curiousity on your behalf. Do you mean expensive from its IPO or at that time? If the latter then check the price of gold or the relevant metal at that time. If the IPO they price what they can get away with.

SVM duo predict active year for Draper Esprit
SVM UK Growth duo Margaret Lawson and Colin McLean believe Draper Esprit (GROW) will see positive activity in its portfolio of unlisted companies this year.
The Citywire A-rated managers of the £176m fund said the £1bn investment company, which backs early-stage growth companies with a focus on technology, has greater exposure to Europe than some of its UK peers, helping to diversify risk.
‘Draper now sees a significant opportunity to invest in the growing European venture capital market, with an accelerated shift to digital, helped by Covid-19,’ said the managers in their latest fund factsheet.
‘We believe that 2021 will bring more activity in Draper’s portfolio; uplifts in funding rounds and initial public offerings. More growth in growing innovative businesses is now happening in private markets and Draper Esprit offers an opportunity to participate in this.’
The trust trades at a premium to its historic net asset value but the SVM managers added that there is ‘potential for uplift and many portfolio companies are growing strongly’.

trying to keep his business afloat. Explains why the MM's have shares to burn with this late reported trade. Will have been worth much more if he hung in there I reckon.

and although this is going slow now I bet investors can't wait to get their hands on WOSG. Check out the investor presentation which I dont thnk many people have clocked yet.

Hi Nick. I don't agree and moresoover I think a buying opportunity has presented itself. This is worth 700p. if you get a chance listen to the investor seminar. Really good info contained therein. Just cos it is running a bit slow currently doesn't mean the SP can't be reset in short order. I will be picking up more.

Bump

Poor seller can't even get the official bid. Normal service is resumed.

a quiet board. Took on this as a pure punt. I hope to become more clued in by tracking this share. It was dreadful last year but think it is outperforming peers this year. About £6 off its highs and £4 above lows so am hoping it can reclaim some ground.

drives up the yield here. I will reonvest back into the company as at some point these will be much higher imo.

Now the spread has moved to 4.9/4.95 so I guess there is a ready seller after all. My hopes for a move up are dashed but my mind changes always as the facts change. I don't want to open up the issuing of shares debate again but when you flood the market with shares you stymy the SP. No surprise to see us struggle at 5p.

Going downhill? At least unlike all other companies they should have suitable footwear for that.

will clear any market overhang. I guess the director looked in rthe cupboard and things were a bit bear so he sold up. Hope the current weather is causing fur to fly at the company. I will be fur-ious if we get a profit warning although the company always seems to go into hibernation at this time of year. At least the ask hhas picked up after the sale.

polarised opinion and debate here. Clearly talk of £1 is fanciful but perhaps with indoor footwear to thrive it will underpin the price to some extent. Do they stock from China? I know freight prices have gone up substantially and of course Brexit has brought import issues the Brexiteers scoffed at. I guess with the price at 53p then optimists should fill their boots but pessimists should be careful where they tread.

Excellent posts monkshood. Much appreciated. It seems the small drop yesterday has qiuickly reversed and we are setting sail for 700p. Will pick up more next Weds.
