Because if the seller had still been selling it may have stayed under £2 until they'd finished, could have been a long time.

Yet another of my short term trades that's turned into a long term hold hoping for recovery.

Yes, seems to be a few years away for UK.

The rules changed a bit in 2024.

Naked Trader mentioned ME in his blog yesterday.

"Today I topped up on one of my biggest holdings, Me Group International.

A very good quality company which I have discussed many times before.

Its biggest grower is its laundry business which is expanding quickly.

I'd been waiting to top up but was waiting for a big seller at 200p to clear who has been

there for 2 weeks."

I'd agree that GBG (which I also hold LT) has had a similar overdone drop from highs as GROW.

And add RST to that list.

I just know that if I gave in and sold any of them they'd suddenly spike up.

Last attempt to tidy up my portfolio and sell some LT held stuff that appeared to be going nowhere produced exactly those results with HL. & WOSG.

Can't see how GBG can be compared to GROW.

Could it be due to FRP news?

I've been watching BEG for a while (traded it last year) and was looking to get back in if it dipped below 100p.

Held back as it seemed to be in freefall.

Couldn't resist and dipped in today at just under 84p, hoping for a bounce.

I wish I'd done that now, instead of me just talking about it on here.

Only 9 days ago for me.

Will hold a while more to see if any more bids are forthcoming but the statement suggests the board are happy with it.

If it looks like only one bid I'll sell for just under 100p rather than wait ages for a few more pence.

I'm out at c5268p from a buy 6 weeks ago at 4717p

I'll be back in on any dips below about £50.

When was that short started?

Was it a position they already had but only disclosed on 23rd Sept?

LSE short reporting is always confusing, I've never been able to determine what the red circle means.

It doesn't mean a change in short today, but is it this week? Or month?

Isn't that showing a new 0.5% short?

I can't see any news but I've dived in again at 385.5p.

I wonder if he's looking at a move to the main market and at the same time selling some of his shares to institutions.

Uncle Monty ups his stake.

I wonder if they'll mention moving to NYSE.

Wishing I'd sold some now...

Looks good value, bagged some at c71.5 p today.

Looking for a retrace to about 80p but might LTH if there's any sign of a bid.
