"Now up to 7.15. Am keeping a close eye on this with a view to get back having bailed out in the 90s having made a small loss using stop loss but keeping powder dry until shorts are a lot less. Knowing my luck may miss the boat on the bottom , but heyho"
I can never pick the bottom and I think it is unrealistic to expect to be able to do that. I did very well out of the last big rally. I'm drip feeding money in the 55-65p range now. I averaged up from 62.7p to 65.4p yesterday and Thursday. At 7.15% short, they have to buy back just under 9m shares. TUNG says it has enough cash to see it to profitability. IF you believe that, which I do, then ANY kind of PE ratio - Basware is about 400 P/E - picking the bottom is unimportant.
It's comparable to me loading up with QPP in the dip from 80p to 30p. Of course I would have preferred to buy the lot between 25p and 30p, but the weighted average profit from those trades was at least 200%. TUNG can easily do that and more. Maybe the shorters have planned a coordinated attack. It may go down from here in the short term, but unless this company is going bust, there is only one way this sp is going in the medium/long term.
Shorters don't always get it right. Ennismore INCREASED its short, as the QPP sp was rising from 30p and they got a well-publicised bloody nose, for losing clients money. TW was advising acolytes to pay their margin calls at 39p. Most of these shorters have made fabulous profits here. The trick for them now, is to leave as little of that profit on the table when they leave.
