Can someone explain to me how to read the info presented here?

I see Marshall Wace is 1.09% now. Does that mean they have borrowed and sold 1.9% of the total number of shares that exist? Do we know the price they sold them at - because if that price was £6 it is pretty insignificant, but if they sold at £2 that is huge?

I see a historical graph now sitting at 1.39 What does this mean? (This is different to the total short shown as 1.77%)

Hope someone can help.

That's behind a paywall or something, but I expect all brokers need to look at their long out of date price targets.

I am glad I bought more. But 5% up in a morning? Why?

Woodside are holding an investor site visit day. The RNS fails to say whether they lay on free flights for UK investors.

Remember AJ Bell says they do trade on ASX using normal online methods (in Australian trading hours).

£10K minimum trade to buy, no minimum on sell.

And today it went down. The market did not like the budget. Nor did I, and I am one of those who pulled out. I am sure Bellway will have its day, but not for quite a while it seems.

The price seems to keep going / staying up, so I have given up waiting for it to drop and have bought more now. It is a stable company, that I am happy to keep, even if the price does have ups and downs.

I am informed that BDEV is no longer traded.

OnFire : thanks. I had not been following this.

As I write, this site quotes BDEV @ 482.1 and BTRW @475.8

Are the shares different?

Let me repeat the question. Are BDEV shares not the same as BTRW shares?

It seems a curious idea to put money into a company that does not want to be in its market place, and gives all its cash to people who want to get rid of BP shares, rather than giving it to its current investors in the form of dividend. Very odd. I will stay out.

Gerry - I think the people who voted Labour in the election are remembering the law of unintended consequences

Can they sell without your authorisation? I guess they can, if they are not capable of managing ASX shares. Converting to USA ADRs without your authorisation is a bigger error. That would involve selling the shares in the first place to be able to buy the ADRs. Check your overall charges for your various holdings, but it could be a good time to move everything to AJ Bell.

Driftking, I think we are looking at different companies, or maybe you had a power of ten wrong using your slide rule. Not 13% price rise in 4 years, but 125%.

The future looks interesting with the restructuring. If a company split does come, I hope UK holders will get the opportunity to hang on to the Chinese side.

10% of portfolio and happy with that, a steady performer over the last 4 years.

I reckon ASX price of $24.95 equates to £12.84, and LSE £12.80 reached this afternoon. Certainly closely comparable.

AJBell confirm that they can hold ASX shares, and also buy and sell on ASX. They have a £10K minimum trade to buy, no minimum on sell. For me, looking at this as a longer term hold, that's fine. I will take no action (except perhaps buying more on LSE if many here sell and the price goes down!) Prosperus - I am very happy with AJBell.

I hold the LSE DIs in AJBell. I have asked them if they will hold ASX shares after conversion, and if they perform trades on ASX. I will post the information, and would ask other platform users to do the same.

Nice to see the strong growth stabilising, and the recognition of that in the share price performance
