ADVFN does seem to have many unsavory aliases

Are you using level 2? I have a reasonable holding here and also want to use the volatility to gain 10% or so a day but cant easily differentiate the peaks, nor the troffs. Easy at he end of the day but not during the action. Any advice? I'm guessing using tranches is the way to go to minimize risk but incur trade fees?

Try BUR on ADVFN if you want bear on angles.

Cheers. Got it :)

Has anyone a link to the conference held earlier today? Was a at work so was unable to watch it. A lot of people with competing positions so would like to see it for myself! Thanks in anticipation

From an article in The Times on the devastation caused to the Burford SP following a short attack by Muddy Waters:
Mr Carson admitted that short-sellers were deliberately targeting stocks owned by Mr Woodford. He said: “Short-sellers do definitely look for where Neil Woodford is invested, especially where he is invested outside of large-cap value. He’s got a great track record in large-cap value. He does not have a great track record in life science, some of these smaller-cap stocks. So there’s always the temptation to go looking where he’s been invested.”

Do you guys and gals see RENE as a potential target, or do you think such an effort would likely be a waste of MW's time due to the sentiment surrounding Stem Cells and a willingness to hold no matter the selling pressure?

Looked like it was making a decent recovery from a significant fall after the mark down at the open. Then falls back to near the low of the day. With LUCE supposedly to report results comfortably better than market expectations at the end of the month you have to wonder whether DIA has lost market share due to historic issues. Might be worth spreading risk between the two baskets.

Hopefully this should now go into premium territory as it has for a considerable time of its life. I great source of safe dividend IMO. I've seen TRIG and UKW demand +10% premiums to their NAVs and feel this must be a better investment as not reliant on state subsidies and the demand for online logistic facilities is only going to increase with either an upturn or downturn in the economy. Should be Corbyn proof too. Wish I had more of this sort in my portfolio and look forward to the years ahead.

Cheers. Have learnt something, although would make more sense if all displayed on the same page (can't think of any advantages). Is there any reason why some trades are on the LSE and some are Nex? The last time I saw trading looking like that of today the price exploded the next day. Here's hoping the same will be evident tomorrow!

Can see it on ADVFN as a sell and a NEX trade. Is the accumulative of NEX not the uncrossing trades we see on here?

Bought more this morning in addition to a buy last week. My buy this morning went through at less than the mid price and is not detailed as either a buy or a sell?!? Should it not at the very least be detailed within an uncrossing trade? I see none have been reported from today - makes me think games are going on to manipulate the market.

The statement advised that all headline figures were expected to be unaffected. IF this is to be trusted then a lot of holders have been spooked and sold at a price that significantly undervalues the company and its future pipeline. Once the results are published, and the headline figures be confirmed, the SP should jump bringing the yield to within "normal" parameters. Combined with the little debt with company should have I cant see any reason at all for the dividend to come under review. Especially considering the stress holders have endured in recent months!

Any ideas why 21% voted against him? There must be good reason and i've yet to see any explanation. PI's always the last to know I guess. I'm interested to see where this goes tomorrow. My guess is the rise today was purely on the back of the AGM approved buy-back, with a few then jumping on possible upwards momentum, and that tomorrow there will be a mass sell off at this temporary high, bringing the price back down and the downward trajectory will continue until more is known about Mattingley or positive news is reported. Of concern, to my mind, is the ticking clock before the ex CEO agreed to postpone his further selling. The effect of his initial dump of 2m shares @ 152p has been pretty devastating. Makes predictions of a return to 165/180 seem a long way off. Time will tell

I'm sure you too could present such stellar decision making with delayed reporting of buys and sells, and with a motivation to sell seminar tickets and books.

Even if the company report continued good results the threat of Corbyn wanting to nationalize utilities, especially with National Grid a target, the industry is likely to be disrupted significantly with a significant threat of markets becoming inaccessible or no longer profitable. The board must see this and would explain the poor confidence shown with the last Directors buy. I note that after the previous buy the price tanked 45% so they appear to buy out of loyalty rather than shrewdness. Regardless I think it best to be on the side lines until the nationalization of utilities threat is less acute.

and then sold at a £1 according to his blog - if that can be believed

The directors buy of 373,245 shares @ £1 must be seen as a significant vote of confidence from someone most informed as to the future of this high margin business. NT no doubt kicking himself for not believing in the company's potential.

I'd sell my house and buy as many as I could if these could be bought for sub 120p. Unfortunately I cant see it happening. This is only going up

Not that it matters to anyone but out at 145

I'm fairly new to this and bought in after discovering NT, following comment from others on other boards where he had purchased the same shares as I had, admittedly though at a lesser price. Bought and then stupidly on first day of results tried to average down. I know wrong and have previously judged others who have employed the strategy and thrown gone money after bad (VOD & RMG springs to mind). Got out at 135 after buying in a 176 to a loss of 1K. A big hit for me and now in the black, but glad I got out when I did and no doubt an expensive lesson learned. GL for those still exposed.
