On the site I use the buy price is now below the sell price. Never seen that before. Be interesting to see what the late trades look like. All delayed no doubt.

Missed another large trade yesterday for 524k of shares. A lot of late trades showing up yesterday worth 1.1M shares. Lot of big players here trading shares.

Large late trades. 250k.250k,104k and 68.989k All look like buys to me. Can't be bad news for SP tomorrow. Perhaps II are still buying in here??

Morning Adastra. Price is quite erratic today. Small volumes are shifting the price either way. To me this suggests the MM could be short of stock. I think there are a lot of trades we have not seen yet. Lots of delayed trades on the way. Even at these prices this share is still under the broker value of 10p. 6p was just crazy really. As ever I take ZaK Mirs guides with a pinch of salt. Hope he is right this time. What we really need now is an II to buy in. Any idea on TS timing??

I don't pretend to be an expert. . I just like analysing numbers and looking for patterns. If management have been truly open and honest here the share could surge on positive news. Like all shares it's knowing when to buy in and having the nerve to hold when the fundamentals are right and the share price drifts. One of the interesting debates on shares is when to accumalate stock when the price falls and when to sell out. If like this share 25p was an over reaction then perhaps building your position and accumalating share as the SP drifts is a good thing if the fundamentals are right. I agree this share could really use some news flow. I guess you should take some confidence from the 2 funds buying in. Although Standard life have been selling. See what happens next week.

RNS today shows that Forum purchase increased their stake to 4% having acquired around 1M shares. They already had around 15M shares. The previous RNS from 14th October showed 11M shares purchased. How long these trades were delayed is unknown. Might explain how share recovered from 25p to 38-42p. It does feel like somone in the back ground here still wants out now the SP has recovered. Perhaps when this has been cleared the share could recover to 45-50p? Wouldn't be suprised to see another RNS next week on holdings. This is one of those shares that could surge up to 50-60P or drop to 25-30p. On the fence here but these 2 RNS should be encouraging. Just confused by the SP drop on such a positive RNS.

http://gorkana.com/news/corporate-and-financial/pitch-wins/exane-bnp-paribas-brings-in-broker-profile/ Nice to see this firm bringing in more clients. Can only be good news for Porta. Especially with cross selling of products.

http://www.iii.co.uk/articles/272333/stockwatch%3A-insider-stakebuilding-merits-attention Excellent article stating exactly why the share is so good value. It's been a huge turn around from 5.75-6p to peak at 9.5p or so today. There has also been 401k traded on ISDX of which 75% look like buys. Looks like almost 800k+ stock bought on LSE. The 127k trade certainly was probably a buy. Some of the buys were certainly before that article was published altough I am sure mixed with the director purchases it had a bigger impact. Exciting times if this share takes off. Bring on the trading statement.

Either a lot of iii are buying porta or a large trade has gone through. 17% is a huge jump for this volume.

This is why I thought Riverman made a mistake. I guess shares are all about gut feelings. If you think a share is going nowhere and could fall further you sell. This is a share that has double digit growth. Costs are starting to fall away. The business is maturing with ebitda likely to be 2.7m or so this year. Porta made a perfect storm after results to allow directors to buy shares cheaply. I honestly think like Adastra this firm will start to become a major player. I actually think share could rise further on good news. The market seems to think the same. Sometimes with shares you ignore the share price jitters and focus on the facts you can see.

Looking positive that people are still buying in here. See how day ends.

Are you sure they are buys? All around 8p. What is current live prices?

That was one of the first sites i checked yesterday after work. I have the porta discussions page bookmarked as I know Paul often comments on Porta news. Like him I just can't believe all these directors would buy unless some good news is on the way. What is also interesting is the timing of the buys. How close is the Trading Statement? I remember last one RMcK bought stock day before it. We are still some way below his 9.1p price. The share has gone up nearly 40% since it's 5.75-6p low. I think maybe they could delay it 1-2 weeks. Results were a week later this year.

Not so sure about 6p. Even at 8p still 2p below broker price. Still predicted to do 2.7 ebidta. Company still growing. We only reached 6p because small investors got scared. The directors buys this year have been getting bigger. DW is no fool. He knows how the business is doing. Hype would be small director buys. 95k is a lot of money to prop up the share price. Still think Steffan is still to buy.

I liked your cat comment yesterday. We seem to be up 8-9% again. Suprising what a few director buys do. Who ever sold at 6p really lost out here.

This seems quite a large buy for DW. His previous buys have been relatively small. Nice to see the finance director getting his feet wet too. Overall they all seem to be buying in here. The trade yesterday adds up exactly to the 2 directors buys. Maybe Steffan will still buy in. I certainly was not expecting DW to dip in again at that kind of level. This year alone every director has increased their holdings. That is really encouraging at this price. I wonder if price could spike to 7-8p here. See market reaction. When the trade went through yesterday it was only ever going to be a buy trade. Will more directors follow?

Directors' Shareholding Porta Communications plc, the AIM quoted international marketing and communications business, has been notified that Mr David Wright, the Chief Executive of the Company, yesterday purchased in his SIPP 714,285 ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company at a price of 7p per share. Following this purchase, Mr Wright is beneficially interested in 4,055,677 ordinary shares in Porta representing 1.46 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital. The shares are held both in his name and in his SIPP. In addition, the Company has been notified that Mr Eugene Golembiewski, the Group Finance Director of the Company, yesterday purchased 643,000 ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company at a price of 7p per share. Following this purchase, Mr Golembiewski is beneficially interested in 1,412,230 ordinary shares in Porta representing 0.51 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital. The shares are held in his name.

If the 1.3M trade was a buy/director buy it was just as I thought. Management holding back share price so staff and the BOD could top up cheaply. Only they truly know how the firm is doing. BM may well have known another buy was coming in this week so topped up last week. If the buyer is Steffan then this would make sense. Steffan will want to show his commitment to the firm and make his mark. He will want to bring in the big clients. As my investor friend suggested, you have to ignore and the big D and A from the results and focus on the numbers. Porta is now highly cash generative and the accounts are greatly improved compared to 1-2 years ago. The parts of the business not performing are being cut back with a focus on the parts making money. Also a focus on the big clients who can take Porta forward mixed with the growth of the new companies Porta bought. Not forgetting the new Capital Access Group/Broker profile. The cross selling of this new firm could well enhance Porta's bottom line. Redleaf is also expanding with it's client numbers over 2015 having grown strongly. Not forgetting the Australian business going from strength to strength. With 1M cost savings also in the pipeline things are looking good for 2nd half of 2015 and 2016. I think we could see a minor rerate here to match that of the rest of the market. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Anyone who got in at 6p seems to have got a bargain.

Large trade worth £95k has just gone through after close. Seems to be a buy at 7p.

You are quite right. This year BM has bought near 8-10 million shares. I just prefer seeing share buys in the millions. I forget at times he has invested over £0.5m this year in Porta. It seems the price has reacted positively to this. See if sellers still pounce on this tomorrow. Personally I rate the shares current value closer to 9p at a modest value. Wait for trading up date. I now expect this at end of month. Could happen next week?
