Could we now see a £2b takeover offer?

The price drop after the placing only makes sense if computers are averaging out the new cost per share based on the higher volume of shares now.

otherwise the price drop makes little sense in the face of better debt management, and still expecting a profit in this half of the year, with a fuller turn about to consistent profit.

UK government has made a fatal error with the importing of certain populations that are economic burdens with their higher than average benefit claims and social service usage.

And to boot these migrants dont drink alcohol or spend money on tax goods, as they spend using cash in their mates cafes that dont declare tax and are mostly money laundering outfits (alongside all these barbers, vape stores, and mini marts).

So overall damaging to the UK Economy and with an increased level of crime, well done landlord class!

That would be interesting if MASH has increased his holding to 10%.,

With this in mind is there enough free float for the shorts to get out at these levels, and could we soon see a takeover offer from MASH himself?

The good news is that Marshall Wace keep reducing their short: -0.10% 22 May 2023

Keep an eyes on the socials and travel logs, if they land in the UK then......

Could Claires post on the 20th May be bang on the money, to quote from their earlier post:

Qatar Investment Authority invests in Turkey-based Trendyol's $1.5 billion funding round.

Trendyol, an e-commerce platform based in Turkey, has raised $1.5 billion in a massive funding round that values the company at $16.5 billion:

Looking at the sell volumes over the past few days, and the shorts, it appears they are one and the same.

as such, looks like the share is being held down with the shorts taking attacks desperate to get out.

Seems like any noticeable sells have dried up. So keep buying and lets squeeze the shorts.

Lots of digging this morning during to keep the price down, however more buys than sells, and the shorts are closing their positions, so only a matter of time time this pings upwards.

Something doesnt stack up.....

the sale of 5% into the market while the price went up....

it kind of looks like they have sold to a third party.... of course an RNS would confirm this if sold as one lot... however if sold into multiple holding companies of one party to keep the price down while the party seek a takeover......

just saying, its classic M&A tactics.

Bank of american wouldnt have taken the hit, they can hold for a long time.

as such, maybe they sold at profit to Qatar Investment Authority?

Indeed, did they sell into the market, or did they sell to an individual looking at accumulation/takeover?

I see the 5% shorts as good, these are shares that need to be bought at sometime.

Looking through the trades the amount of manual traders is now increasing over the autos, this is a very good sign and show that actual investors and funds are engaged and trading this.

wonder if we will see an RNS before US markets open????

Yep, i just top again! lol

Is an RNS on the way, hence the final desperate shake of the tree!

bargain price here considering Fraser Group increase holding this week and Marshall Wace decreasing their short position.

Surprise Takeover RNS before the weekend?!?!?!?

Some desperate tree shaking.

the shorts attack over the past week failed as the legend Mike Ashley bought a massive chunk.

Now they are getting dirty, hold tight and make them pay top dollar to get out.

fingers crossed we get an RNS update on the takeover bid soon!

The main big short (MW) is now closing!

Marshall Wace LLP 1.46% -0.22% 17 May 2023

plus another short closing down:

Whitebox Advisors LLC 0.68% -0.03% 17 May 2023

Also looks like there is some position building in the background.

I bought another 340 shares this morning, and plan to keep building, I want top dollar for any shares I hold!
