To push the price down they need to borrow more shares to sell. They can only push it down so far by buying and selling. They do not act as a group they are all predators. They base their positions on the results of algorithms that produce a probability curve. It’s a calculated risk but a risk nonetheless. The fact short positions have increased can be a sign of worry or doubt on their part rather than confidence. We are all waiting for the same information although the herd is betting on a good result the short positions are praying for catastrophe.

Europhil is right about the balance sheet. A takeover would solve that and for a long term player like Apollo, with deep pockets, it may well be an attractive proposition. Informal talks and negotiations would not need to be reported. Why refinance if that is the case, sure they would need a fall back to negotiate the price up, but that would be easier to negotiate if there is an interest. The share movements here are not just bots and pump and dumps. Not 15% anyway. Something is in the wind and it is not D4E that is for sure. Still believe 100 likely in the short term and 300 in the medium term. In the long term 1500. PFC is a classic example of an undervalued long term non tech investment that would interest a private equity fund due to its slightly distressed financial status and lowish bond prices. Any approach - and I think there will be one this year - will be a bonanza for LTHs who hold there nerve for the next six weeks.

Something happened that is positive enough to kick it up 15% in one day. It steadied yesterday even as many took profit. This news explains it so imagine the rocket when the balance sheet is sorted. If Apollo do express an interest…

And down we go….

Financials sorted, new contract, Apollo circling. 150 likely.

Yes price holding and increasing on early trades. Short squeeze is starting as rumours of Apollo’s interest spreads.

Apollo are sniffing around. A better order book than Wood. Ripe for rationalisation. Let’s face it 75 per share would be a generous offer if dilution is the only realistic option for the BOD.

Most of yesterday’s trades were small and buying i to a price rise. The short position stats are a few days behind. Some people will know what’s what but none of us are one of them, so guessing is all we can do.

13.25% rise 8,000,000 traded. Positive new could easily hit 60 in the very short term ie 10:00am tomorrow.

7,000,000 traded so far and a 10% rise. Got to be insider info.

There seems to be a lot of automated buying and selling. Interesting that this happens as two shorters increase their positions. Perhaps another is bailing now on the basis of inside information, last time it went up to 30. If the balance sheet is sorted we could easily see 100. Petrofac have a bigger order book than Wood Group. 300 is my target in a year.

You keep an eye out and check everything. Then the shorts don’t burn your fingers. The balance sheet is a hood place to start. It is possible for PIs to profit from the activities of short sellers. We’re not trading in Germany but whatever floats your boat.

Banning short selling will never, ever happen. If people avoid shorted companies they would not get burnt. If the short sellers are wrong about Petrofac - and I think they are - those of us who bought in low could only do so because the shorters depressed the price with their bot trading and negative chat. So, short sellers lose and we win - big. What is wrong with that? It’s the game. Whining, moaning and crying about shorters because you have been stung is for babies. Trying to ban them is like trying to ban the rain. It will never happen. Nor should it.

Crap results again.

Sentiment has shifted ever so slightly but in the right direction. 100 is possible in a month. Would not have said that a week ago. But today we have real grounds for optimism.

Some nice big buys on the back of some good news bodes well.

This advice is based on positive news that they have garnered from a reliable source. This is awesome news and the beginning of a snowball effect of good news that is going to push this share up to 100 in May. In the short term it will hit fifty in two or three weeks. The short squeeze will soom be on us. This is a four or five bagger from here for sure.

Looks like it could be a right old shag up.

Kpa1 is an incel troll.

There could be a leprechaun at the bottom of the garden as well. Making stuff up is not helpful.
