Yes, his exact words were "a couple of weeks at least"!

Take this as you wish, but I just asked my son (who works with commodities in the City, on metals specifically) that same question. Although he said nothing company specific, his answer was thus ......."Iron ore falling. China is taking off their commodities positions ahead of Chinese New Year. Could be like this for a while longer but gives people a chance to buy dips maybe".

UT 111

I suppose we were due for a bounce/ up day of some kind after all that.
The interesting question is what will the sp do over the following day or two?
Have the shorters saved some ammo?
Or will they be happy with making a quick profit, and clear off to look for another target?

It puzzles me too Dave.
I mean, what do they know? If anything?
Does anyone know what price that big sell went through at? And was it def a sell? (you know what I mean).

What I meant was, a pity it dropped from the 108 down to 107 on the uncrossing trade.

But still nice to have a blue day at last.

Looks like a UT of 107. Pity, but better than I thought we'd get today.

You just keep waiting for it don't you lol? (a drop to follow the rise).

Maybe .... just maybe ....

On Monday I mentioned the possibility of support from directors buying.
But I was told that they perhaps can't due to being in a closed period

Well done. Not a bad go at answering this constant "buys and sells" question.
If you don't mind, I might copy that and use it in the future! Lol
I have struggled to explain it a hundred times over the years, yet still it comes up regularly.

Nice start, but after 3 days of this, one can't help but think the selling will soon bring it down again!
One day soon, a rise will hold. Maybe even today.

Better than I thought it would be.
No wonder the sp shot up 2 days before this update!? But of course, that is never investigated.
Revenue up to 710, and an adjusted profit of 14m. Not bad for a pandemic year.
You can quickly work out though that the 'adjusted profit before tax' is down 55% on the year.
So ..... can this be construed as good? ........ or bad?
I guess the sudden rise in sp a couple of days ago tells us the market might like this.

I know I'm probably showing my ignorance here, but do we know for certain that this heavy selling since Friday is definitely shorters? I know there has been a slight increase in one of their positions, but nothing major .... yet.

Couldn't it just be somone selling? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, as new short positions or TR1's are announced.

Production report 3rd Feb

Preliminary Annual results 16th Feb

No TR 1's or Director buys ...... yet!

If indeed it even makes the Press!
I suppose the Financial Press will def cover it.

I wonder what the Papers/Press will have to say about this over the weekend?

If they hint that the selling was overdone, it might have a sharp bounce on Monday morning?

Too late mitdoow!
Bought at 118.75 incl costs.
I know ...... I'm prob a fool

I'm one of the hundreds.
Now going in!

Yes Frankfurt, that does sometimes happen when the UT was well outside the spread at the time.
