I took a small punt in this when I first saw Damian Hanson had taken a position.

It looked interesting enough to risk a small amount in the hope that something might happen.

Looks like even with Hanson increasing, the price has dropped so far back that I'll be unlikely to get anything back.

My holding is small enough I can risk losing the lot. I'm treating it like an option now.

The lowball offer on the table sounds feasible, maybe it's Hanson.

I could see the business being split up into media & tech.

And £13.1m debt and showed a £6.8m loss in last results.

That's why the share price is where it is.

"But what makes you think the 375k movement was a buy? It's listed as "unknown"?"

The buy/sell/unknown indicators are just an estimate.

Have a read of this to get an idea how it works.

£375k 1875p late reported trade from this morning, that's a fair chunk.

"It's been suggested several times over the years that he and the board should take the majority (if not all) of their pay in shares, if they were that confident. "

That would currently mean about a third of the company for his years salary.

It's a weird one. 1755p UT and small 1755p trade printed after hours, then a UT at open today and back to normal.

Does look like fat finger around close messing up the UT.

"I think the only people who are salty about the deal are TXP holders who bought in much higher and are upset about the dilution at 40p."

I hold TXP AND TRIN from much higher (but in different accounts), not sure what to make of it.

Trying to work out if I'd be better off selling one and buying the other rather than waiting for the deal to complete.

Wouldn't it make more sense to keep the TXP price higher, to look like a better deal for TRIN?

Would one of those 'UK listed energy companies' be PPP?

Touchstone has dropped 50% in less than a year, and dropped further on the announcement.

As a Touchstone holder I'm not convinced they're the best company to take TRIN forward.

This is messy for me, I already hold some TXP in my SIPP but my TRIN are in an ISA.

I was already considering selling TXP, I wouldn't want any more but need to study a bit more to see what this means for TXP.

I'm way down on TRIN even with this spike. I'll probably watch to see what happens in the next few days but I'm of a mind to dump TRIN and take the cash before the deal goes through.

That'll be what they claim the next fundraise is for, when in reality it'll be to cover SS salary.

I predict an attempt at something like £500k at 0.01p, which will cause the price to crash to 0.005p.

There are plenty of shares that have done that kind of uplift.

You just have to choose wisely. Or more likely just get lucky.

I've had a few disasters e.g. NMC Health where I lost my whole stake. That was a good lesson in not putting too much in one share. You can't rule out fraud.

I didn't intend having a large proportion of an ISA in one share but it's happened by accident due to Yu Energy ten-bagging one trance and five-bagging another. It still looks like a good investment even at current levels.

I can't see GROW getting back to what I paid for a long time (average just over £10) but I'm hoping for a steady rise from here. I wouldn't risk any more than what I already have in it.

They'll have to do something soon, they're in danger of running out of money to fund Sanderson's sinecure.

Looks like they've burned through all the money without striking a deal. They're going to need more cash soon.

@TheThinker. Pretty much same as me. I do wonder about the move to NYSE that they seem to have gone quiet on.

I also wonder about a bid before they move but not sure if all the political data they handle might make that difficult, especially if the likes of Alphabet, Meta, X etc. were interested.

"8 pounds plus bought at 1.60 i know what i be doing"

If they drop back near 800p I'll be buying more.

I've got in at 163.75p back in 2016, so showing huge gains, but annoyed I didn't trade some of the peaks and dips.

I was hoping for 1200p last month but it didn't quite make it and I didn't sell any. Could have been buying them back under 900 soon after.

The coming election is a good point though, should be strong demand for their services.

I'm not overly worried about it, but it's odd that they both sold on the same day, it's not a good look.

"These buy/sell trades are so unreliable."

Have a read of this, it explains how trade reporting works.
