0.3% of total shares traded so far today.
Most days recently c.1% traded.

Well right now they are 25/26p each right!?
However most that deal in shares do so with a long(er) term view.
Like buying a painting, a classic car we view them for long term appreciation.
So, yes it "may" be possible to purchase at current price or even lower in short to medium term we can NOT guarantee this.
The price we each paid is what it is, the current price is what it is, the future is uncertain.
From looking at the trading over last days, weeks , months what I feel is a growing picture is that it will become increasingly unlikely to be able to buy in any real volume with certainty at these levels (especially for larger holders)
Look for yourselves.
72% + held by 10 holders. There will be a further number of holders upto the 3% reporting threshold and then PI with range of holdings all with firm grip on their shares.
This leaves a VERY VERY small amount of "product" available to trade.
So think caviar rather than milk ;-)
When sentiment changes based on solid news these are more likely than not to move up and very quickly.
The door of opportunity (with risk) is open, none know for how long.

Continued trend of share price being moved often a lot and negatively on as near to zero shares traded.
Today being (so far) one of lowest ever at c. 0.3% of shares traded.
Are these tiny numbers partly down to large holders having ever firmer grip on circa 3/4 of all shares and another large number of small to medium sized PI holders keeping hold of and possibly even adding to their holdings!?
This is partly speculative conclusions, but also fact based.
When waivers are sorted, some additional funding to see have an even more solid base to see through this covid period and re opening of studios, release of blockbusters this may well go crazy.
That's a simple supply and demand fact.
People when they have more certainty will want into the shares, but the percentage available is small, VERY small.

"Great this will shut up all the idiots"
That's a nice thought, however that would rely on these people being rational and not an idiot.
They will continue, however it should give some of us that may have been waivering to calm and get back to looking forwards positively.

Patti Jenkins (she off WW) bullish on cinema too

Drifty thank you very much, this is very possibly the most crucial and important thread/post on this BB in weeks/even months.

Listening to the show now and few snippets not only from Mooky but others all help reassure.
I particularly liked Mooky almost laugh in the face of interviewer regards the press and reports of running out of cash.
The other part I was rather surprised by and positively was when he said he doesn't like to predict future, but feels mid November for reopening very possible and working to bigger capacity and more full openings by that Christmas period.

UKSL I was quoting Insi, see quotation marks.
The share price can move a lot jist now as there are little shares actually openly available for trade.
With most days trading less than 1% of all shares they are it could be argued shares few are interested in currently..
This can and likely will change dramatically on debt financing news, confirmed movie releases, worldwide reopening, major covid news

"No one is interested in this share most films will go straight to streaming"
Yet in the worst year EVER for cinema the vast vast majority of films (especially potential blockbusters) have delayed release, often several times so far rather than release to streaming.
Hmmm seems your argument is flawed somewhat.

*does not suit*

In the interests of keeping us to facts even if as long holders it does suit our arguments.
MS have NOT materially moved their position regards holdings in Cineworld.
There has been 15 or so RNS from them in last couple months with a net effect off about sod all. I have stated this a few times already on threads here.
Up down up down.... About where they were couple months or more ago.
Larger part of their position is leveraged options.

Hosia I would say like most of us at that time they believed/hoped this would not prove to be as long a disruption to life as it has proven to be.
Same reason we got £1 spike months back.
We were much earlier in the process and had not had as many set backs.
I will repeat: I am a long holder and want the recovery and still hope it is the more likely outcome.
We should all face that the risk is there as we continue to live in a closed down world.

"Disney has net debts of $40 billion and make the majority of their profits from theme parks"
Possibly fair to say that is their business model to a degree i.e. everything they spend outside that is geared to increasing demand for their parks!?
The movies would have been the end product prior to parks, but the parks are now the ultimate end product.
However, yes Cineworld are far from being alone with debts.
Debt needn't mean a bad business, far from it.

Hope you are right ianharding

What is stopping the lenders from taking ownership at expense of current shareholders and as the business returns to full or near full operations not only being repaid their debt but gaining from profits!?
It's effectively what part of the board and it's creditors done with Debenhams (admittedly not the most profitable business).
What I am saying is the lenders/creditors do not NEED to lose their money even if shareholders might.

I am all for good news and hopefully future share price rises. However, where is the big buy you are talking about?
Derampers/shorters are only helped if longholders/rampers put out equally invalid information.
Apologies in advance if I have had an oversight in trades.

capehake joined the green box brigade :-) bye

Nice find with some potential for positivity.

Sorry Drifty69 but that is not the numbers at all re Goldman's movements.
The number of shares is total shares in company and the shares actually held were 0.8% down 0.2% to 0.6%
The big move was options on shares using financial instruments.
Their holdings and any sales in Cineworld will do square root of zero regards this other matter.

Let you out the box for entertainment for couple hours, back in the green box for you now shorty.

Drifty, No I am saying currently it is still planned for cinematic release (currently December, may get pushed back again like others have).
I am saying that was another false piece of news few weeks back re it going PVOD .
The superhero films especially are made absolutely with the big screen in mind.
