To be fair the Newgate UK staff page only shows a fraction of the actual workforce in Porta. I think they employ several hundred people. Looks like Lorna Berry is a new exec. Shre price didn't move yesterday. I think the seller is waiting for HH to buy more shares. Assuming they are not done?

http://www.4-traders.com/PORTA-COMMUNICATIONS-PLC-4005336/company/ Hargreave Hale Ltd. (Venture Capital) 1.42% Meaning at some point they acquired a further 6.49m shares. They still appear to hold their 5.82% of shares too. I check this site daily so this is definately new in last day or so. Also confirms my theory HH were one of the mystery buyers here.

Just spotted this on their twitter. Seems a nice client win for 2 parts of the business. First mention of CAG in a while. https://newgatecommunications.wordpress.com/2018/03/20/newgate-communications-and-capital-access-group-are-appointed-by-su-plc/

I wasn't invested back when it was 30p. I have opinions on why were down to 2.25p from 17p. Lack of funds investing, stakeholders dumping shares once issued and TTMV/Summit going under. That on top of 13% loans and an inability to raise capital to buy up shares of Aus/HK/China/Singapore. Revenue is still rising. Not sure why buyers in background let share drift so low. End of day they can dictate price as sellers don't seem to care about selling price here. Very frustrating.

When was 6-7 senior staff leaving in any way positive? Especially if they took clients with them. I certainly don't work for this firm. I just follow their news feed. I am a private shareholder and that's where my interest is here.

Quentec Asset Management - 0.38%. Down 0.14%

I think 6-7 senior hires have now left. Found this list on another site - Jason Nisse, Andrew Baiden, Andy Martin, Stephen Byfield and Gavin Devine. Not forgetting David Wright CEO. 3 of these have now set up their own businesses. Many of them relate to the companies bought out here. Overall staffing levels in Newgate have fallen quite sharply here. Administration staff appear to be down by 8-9 too. Can't tell if 2 more have just joined or 1 more left. Drew Aspinall looks new. Mix and match. Weigh this up against a booming Asian business. I think a number of clients would of left with all these senior hires. New office in Leeds? I do think they are reducing on the higher ticket cost staff. That or people are just leaving. I think if they can keep costs down then we could see a profit eventually. They appear to be expanding too. Todays drop is the usual buyer and seller swapping shares. When this concludes price may pick up. Expect a larger buy next week. Could be directors buy after the results. See what happens. The TU was somewhat upbeat but the figures were lower than I expected given H1 performance. I won't be selling at these prices. Seems undervalued to me.

They have reduced on 8th, 9th and 13th this month. Gradually reducing their holdings before the results.

Funds still buying in here. Kabouter Management LLC most recent. No wonder Sp rose to 90p+ with funds mopping up millions of shares here.

https://newgatecommunications.wordpress.com/2018/03/13/capitalcentric-appoints-newgate-communications/ Manchester-based property developers CAPITAL&CENTRIC have appointed integrated agency Newgate Communications to manage its corporate PR.

https://www.holmesreport.com/latest/article/newgate-communications-ceo-gavin-devine-exits See story above. Set up his own agency.

By 10% I meant a rise of 10% from 10% to 11%. 8th March RNS from CANACCORD GENUITY GROUP INC. For some reason shown as director /PDMR.

You got your 90p! From 37p to 94p. The directors bonus shares are also yielding them huge profits. Looks like funds are buying here heavily.

As for Shanghai office https://www.holmesreport.com/latest/article/newgate-communications-launches-in-shanghai

Looks like a major shareholder has added to their holdings here by 10% or so. Things seem to be going well here. I can see further acquisitions too here. See what happens.

First glance seems encouraging. Hard to compare to last year with 30m goodwill. Overall heading in right direction and healthcare looking strong here. Find out in next few days where this heads. In mean time most directors have been rewarded with hundred thousands of shares.

Funds might be put off by the continual selling of issued shares for capital. Porta needs to raise capital and issue cash for these percentages. At present I suspect Hales Hagreaves is mopping up most of this stock in a way that lowers their average price. The good news is Redleaf will be fully owned come Summer. Porta need to reduce the loan costs to below 8%. Bob Morton is black listed by city and this may put off funds. Porta also seem to be splashing the cash. New offices in Australia and UK? We all want to see a profit and a stop to all these write downs. Some good news and getting funds/private investor back on board would push the SP up quickly. Will we seee a delayed large sell at some point? Or was the 293k trade the only sell to lower the SP here. I have no level 2 access to give a fuller story.

Not a great day. Hopefully this is just people stakeholder trading shares in background. The 293k trade is likely a delayed sell. There was a 200 sell and 103 (Nexchange) test buy recently. So it is just the usual people trading shares in background. Suprising they would be willing to sell at these prices. I think a reverse trade will appear tomorrow. Some very weird share price movements not accounted for near end of day. Why would the directors buy at 3.5p and higher if share was worth this little? In terms of the company not much has really changed. Problem is Ek and other people given shares keep selling them 6-12 months later. Vicious circle that is depressing the share. Pretty much no PI trading shares here. See what tomorrow brings. It would have been better to just do one big trade here rather than these huge swings in SP. Looking on Newgate website. When did they have a Leeds office? Not seen this before.

Ballie Gifford accounts to July 2017 show they sold some IP Group shares to value of 1.4m. They could have 43m shares here. Assuming they still own them all. Need to see their 2017 accounts to see what else they might of sold. No RNS to say below 3%. FT shows Ellington Management Group LLC as a holding change in February. 1.69%. All guess work till you get an RNS or an update on their holdings. Could well just be someone below 3%. See what happens.
