Neil Jones 45000 shares at 42.15p. Directors seem to be getting more confident here. This is his 4th buy in 3 months. Around £102k in cash overall in past 3 months. Seems to be a lot of background movement of shares here as price is picking up again.

This was announced a while back when Autins joined Aim. However it was not clear Newgate had done the IPO. Todays news is a welcome confirmation. They seem to be doing the PR for this firm too. Nice bit of business for Porta.

A few weeks of manic share trading and 3 days on LSE without a single trade. Few minor trades on ISDX. Seems to be mainly stake builders and medium sized funds/PI doing 90% of the trades here. See what Friday brings. Fingers crossed for some good results in 2-3 weeks time. This share could use a good boost.

Will you be attending this meeting Adastra?? It could be an opportunity to ask some more questions? They could certainly announce 6M result date. Not sure if you can ask many questions at GM's. They may not be able to announce much before the results anyway. If results are on 22nd they could well announce the date this week. Otherwise I am guessing 27th September. I think most of your comments seem pretty fair. I assume you are in contact with the BOD still offering your sage advice? I think we would all like. to know when the 2.2M profit from Aus, Redleaf, HK, Singapore will actually turn into results offering 2.2-3m profit. At present the huge London rent and debt seems to be eating away at this. Not to mention the dividends to owners. How to turn Newgate London into a big profit?? Breakeven is always first objective, At present this is the big white elephant sitting in the room. I am also looking forward to learning how their China operations are going. Asia and the far east are huge opportunities here as the margins are so much higher compared to London which is somewhat saturated. At 500-750k each 2 weeks it won't take long to reach 8.7m share. I assume the seller is not Paul Scott? I don't know how big his holdings were?? See what this month brings.

Mystery buyer has chirped in with another 250k this morning. Keeping to the pattern of 4.75-5.5p. The buyer does seem to be putting in larger single trades now. Soaking up sold stock.

Since May 27th I count around 5.572M share buys excluding directors. Of which 3.455m are all rounded numbers matching a certain pattern. 1.98M are odd numbers. 3% of Porta is around 8.7M shares. Few other trades showing as mid price which I have not included in the last 2 numbers. Previously I reckoned the buyer/s were up to 1-2% many months back. So 5.572M more shares bought suggests there could be 2 or so new investors here. As one big buyer would be above 3% by now. We know someone also grabbed quite a lot of shares on day of the results. 400-500k worth. This assumes that they have actually informed the market they have reached 3%.. It could also be that existing smaller funds have been topping up? I count around 4.72M shares sold since May 27th. I can't see further back. The big issue here is working out if this is all 1-2 sellers or maybe a mix of smaller investors too panic selling. Adastra suggested the seller was a smaller investor. At the AGM the BOD said they did not know who the sellers were. Suggesting there may be 1-2. If it was HH or Ruffers pretty sure they would know. 4.7M shares is a lot for a small investor. My general view is most of these buys/sells have followed very specifix patterns so most likely not small investors. I do think the share price will remain between 4.75 and 5.5p till this trading of shares is done. That or the results have a big impact on the share here. Would be good to see 1-2 new major share holders here. For now this pattern looks set to continue. It could also be that if we have some investors buying in they may just gradually be trading the stocks. Many funds have requirements on how they can sell stock.

Interestingly that 500k trade was probably delayed from earlier in the week or last Friday. My reasoning is the price dipped at 8.43am following a small sell on ISDX. A sizeable trade like this should of lifted the SP after such a small sell. Instead the SP fell. Also the 5.3p price was above the 5.25p ask price at the time. We also had that unexplained rise on the previous Friday with no trade. Hmmmmm.

Agree with you Mick. We need a clean set of results that shows a profit. We know that Aus, Redleaf, HK, Singapore between them made nearly 2M profit last year. The big question is why we keep making big losses. Sadly 1M or so goes to controlling interests of the companies we don't fully own. Strip out that and D and A costs and you are not far off a profit. They will gradually buy out more shares of these 50/50 owned companies. The new employees if they add value should repay their wages. Pretty sure Steffan was responsible for Gorkana joining up. He was very hands on the day of the AGM. He was actively getting his hands dirty doing the work. The other new hires are big hitters within the industry and should help bring in new clients. Long term Porta will be looking for the next deal to take this company forward. Restructuring of the debt is key for now. Also reducing rent costs. Moving Redleaf to HQ?? Gossip or is this likely to happen? Big 500k buy here today. Wonder if this is Bob or a mystery buyer. Been a lot of sells lately and the share has not really fallen much. It is not falling below 4.75p here. This seems to be the floor at present. Good results in September could turn this around quickly. Although we have been let down so many times before. The people at the GM in September might get some more news in 12 days time. Should also get an RNS announcing result date. Could really use a positive RNS or 2.

3 sells today on LSE and the SP is up. There is a 14.16 trade on ISDX fore 200k shares at 5.2p, We are missing the trade from 8am though. Unless the ISDX trade was delayed then that would explain the SP movement. Still think a late trade will pop up here.

The sellers is most likely a smaller fund. Definately not small PI in my view due to the 300-500k weekly volumes. If we have just one seller here they have several million shares. 4-8 million? Also the manner in which they are selling the stock seems more like a fund. We know 80 million shares were issued over 3 years ago to various funds/corp investors. If it was HH or Ruffers I am sure management would of known about this and mentioned it at the AGM. Redleaf made about 450k profit last year. The extra 15% will give 67k or so back to Porta each year. So it will take 6-7 years before we see that 450k back. One website described the deal very badly. Saying Porta was having to renegoitiate the deal as the share had fallen so much. Pends on the spin you put on it. Yes positive to buy back Redleaf but bad that were having to fork out more cash and shares to do this. It is strange that Redleaf have their own building. You wonder how much rent they pay a year?? What we don't know is how much free space Porta actually have at their own HQ. Certainly sharing this cost with Redleaf would be a positive move if they have spare desks? I thought CAG grabbed the empty desks? Did you spot many empty desks on your visit? It looked quite a small office from what I could see, Unless it had a 2nd/3rd floor? Overall I agree about the Australian operations and the nice exchange rate. Should also help with HK/Singapore and China. China is a huge market to tap into. The foreign markets is where the money is here. UK has such small margins. Just a shame Newgate UK cannot match Redleaf in profit. Marketing seems to be the downfall. Once this seller is done then more buyers will hopefully start to buy in here. For now the directors wait. We still have our mystery buyer here. The test buys of 1600 or 1800 shares are a good indicator. So not all doom and gloom. I think September results will be somewhat improved but I am frustrated by the SP performance and the continual losses. At times managerment seem very positive here but the numbers are not yet matching their positivity. I am holding for now as I think this share is highly under valued. It's how to change market perception of Porta. The market simply does not love this share. I am encouraged by the new hires. Steffan seems very on the ball. I would also like some news on the refinancing of Porta at some point. New major investors needed. Also some deal that will take Bob Morton out of the equation so we are not reliant on his cash and his share support. See what happens in next few months.

Late RNS. General Meeting for 13 September to approve Redleaf 15% purchase and the 2.9M deferred shares. Wonder why they left this to nearly 6.30pm? Bizarre.

It's all on the Huntsworth website who the major shareholders are. I have no magic ball. I have guessed based on 2 figures matching exactly. The share does seem to be edging higher here. The 3 big trades cancelled eachother out.

Interestingly 9,750,000 shares is the exact shareholding of Matthew Rupert Freud. Suggesting 2 of the trades were buys and the larger trade was a big sell. The larger trade was at a slightly lower value. This could explain why the share is slightly down today. Seems to me unlikely someone else has sold up 19M shares as most of the other large funds left have been mopping up the sold shares. Seems to me 1-2 funds are getting out here while the main ones are doubling up.

10:14 - 23/08 Buy 9750000 43.40p £4,231,500.00 10:13 - 23/08 Buy 5150000 43.50p £2,240,250.00 10:13 - 23/08 Buy 4300000 43.50p £1,870,500.00 More big trades going through. All buys. Suggesting someone else has sold some shares too? Too much volume just to be sitting with market makers. May show up tomorrow? More RNS's on the way?

They are at it again. I expect the buyer to clear another 400-500k of stock here. Strange price rose to 5.39 so quickly after the 4-5k share sell on isdx yesterday. 5.12p trade last week was a definate buy. See what follows.

http://www.ftsenews.co.uk/2016/07/28/numis-gives-huntsworth-plc-price-target-with-potential-35-03-upside/ 350p is definately a mistake. 53p target is quite feasable. Assuming they can turn around Grayling and maintain market share.

Oh we were reduced 0.25p also due to 100k sell on ISX around 9am. Always check ISDX.
