Fun isn't it !

Ask has gone up but the sp and bid have not ?
Fair play MM's - have you heard of it ?

JPM Bond maybe ?

Must be made of tough stuff !

26 A trades all sales in a 15 minute period between 140:00 -14:15 - I've got it, algorithms take a lunch break !

Isn't it strange how the exactly 250,000 and 500,000 sales turn up at lunchtime every day and how the sp opens up holds or rises even as sells outweigh buys until lunch when all of a sudden after a couple of sales ( but not immediately ) it plummets around 14:00 - 14:15.
If I didn't know better I'd swear someone was playing the market.

realsicilian - My point exactly, also down 40% currently like many LTH hence my comment.
But the article is generally positive and very good pr don't you think ?

Repeated the link with thanks to tomjones2

Very positive article although I do think they exaggerate the number of early buyers benefiting.
Nevertheless very much a recommendation and the most positive article I've seen yet.

I agree with Northern. Experience suggests the wait could be long, nothing to suggest anything will change soon.

I'm number 2 ! Can't believe - my wife always says I'm an optimist, now there's proof ?

Bellers, same here. Having (reluctantly ) acknowledged the necessity to ensure that , if I can't then my sons will benefit, now actively investigating options.
That said nothing is certain and when I took early retirement 7 years ago I was informed my pension was being reduced as my life expectancy ( according to insurance actuaries is 84 ie another 20 years ). While that is decidedly unlikely I will do my damnedest to meet and beat that target, if only to get back the 20% cut made to my expected pension as a result of the actuaries calculation !
If I get anywhere near it the future looks rosy and I may yet get the nice car, holiday whatever - but the bulk will still go to family. GLA LTH, don't sell, buy ! IMO of course, as always DYOR.

trying to build a little cash to top up, not before we get some news ( or I have enough / the sp is low enough to not mind risking it ) to get another 100,000.

fjones, yes thats how I read it.

Bellers you are right but, in 3 years I may be dead ( seriously ) and as things stand today like every other LTH who didn't sell and kept buying on all the hype about ST2 I have lost ( on paper ) thousands every month since Sept 2018.
This particular spectacle and the evaporating gain today have not exactly sat well personally ( can you tell ? ), or for anyone else I should think.
Ah well, have a great weekend - maybe the bonds will be sorted next week. I wish.

Great time to put it out (16:55), almost looks as if they wanted be on the way home before we saw it ?
Wonder what the reaction will be Monday.

Just a bit -saying its a bit rich doesn't begin to describe it.
Bloody brilliant PR - apparently they all looked bored stiff at the AGM, perhaps they all want to be MP's ?

Given where we are that is royally taking the proverbial.
Nothing like having your face rubbed in your loss by others free gain.

So only 1 large sale pm of 1m shares at 14:40 (14.95p) plus 1 of 550k at 15:45 (14.85p) overall buys apparently 24m to sales 12m including 2 of 600,000 shares and 1 of 750,000 this afternoon and the bid is up 0.20 on the day and 0.74p of the days high ?
Conspiracy theorists would say someone doesn't want this to close over ( or even near ) 15p today and I can't see why it hasn't after all the good news today and yesterday. What a boon this long drawn out, clouded in mystrey, high yield bond sale is proving to be - ( if you are a huge II and shorting - not so good from a PI persective.
