No idea what the vicar of dabbling is writing but...

how anyone can rave about a director buy that just about matches the weakest punt from a pi is beyond me.

tha said, i'll wet myself if that £3k adds £1mill to the mcap and we'll see how many sells a rise will generate as there's nothing about that buy that is confident!

What, you think he's going to find another £500 to put ino this next week?

Unpalatable but that's the price of getting extra investment... you have to guarantee a profit to those supplying the cash so won't be surprised to see those shares have already been forward sole into the market over the past couple of weeks, hence the price dropping.

up to you to decide if it saves the day again, with a rise to follow, after the shock dip or not...

gla.

Wouldn't be surprised tp see Helios turn down the offer, which would be a problem. guess it depends whether they think they will lose more by holding and whether their money is better used elsewhere.

still a concern that StoneX haven't made it formal, nor i imagine will they until the last minute, if they are interested. #course, that means holding the shares post close and coping with the rise or the drop.

the only benefit of the offer not coming in is the sp will rise from the drop on US licence, though whether it would recover to an acceptable level.... a lot of folk dived in at 120+ thinking it was an easy 20%... now they're down nearly 10%... as a better-than-evens bet, it siddenly looks precarious but then that'd be the tactic to cement the offer price sticking.

Laughable...

Thinking about it, the only reason why CABP BoD would knock back Stonex would be if the licence was definitively due... and, tbh, if they're in discussions with Stonex, it could be and they'd STILL accept the offer if they were offered places to continue its operations.

but, would the iis's tak 145 if they've been in since IPO? guess that depends on whether they see more upside than... the alternative and decide better to ccut their losses with the 145 offer.

See where it finishes today.... guess it depends how definite the US licence is... if Stonex offer is rejected?

Tosh by name... marxist, my arrse! spend a month or two in hospital the next time you're in a car crash and see the cost of 10 doctors, 50 nurses, umpteen scans and exrays, drugs, blood tests, 24 hour care, physio, free food and tell me that you wouldn't pay twice the taxes you're bleating about!

I trust your piety keeps you warm at night...

and, generally, when will you learn to stop trying to goad folk for your own joy as all it does is encourage a response and cluttery up the bb.

take the lesson and leave your empty gloating to one side as it benefits noone and certainly not the bb.

Well, it matters if you want to possibly get a further discount on the sp as it currently stands, if you missed out?

always going to be a gamble, re. timing but you can see here that existing holders are always trying to encourage each other to buy at the premium for selfish reasons... because they don't like to see a retrace because everyone wants an 'always up' sp.

but, yes, i agree with you... if you're already holding then just wait it out if you are prepared for some possible volatility or, if you have some final pennies down the back of the sofa, see it as another opportunity, if it materialises.

Lloyd, all i'm saying is that rns' can be issued up to 5 days after action. so, atm, they could easily have been issued pre the ise, to take advantage of the rise to sell into.

as i say, not definitive but if you don't acknowledge the mechanics of rises or falls then you're hostage to them, if they materialsie.

but if you have a longer term 'just hold' intent, it won't matter, either way.

And, seeing as you dragged me into this... don't be surprised to see the Semnet shares being issued at a price that might disappoint.

all these shares that have been bought need to have come from somewhere and i doubt it's just retail churn. so where do 30million shares come from? and, at what price were they issued for them to be sold into this rise?

might well be wrong but if you don't look at ALL the possibilities... at least be aware of the potential. as there will be a lot of shares potentially swirling around, if Semnet and Easysend transactions are completed at the same price.

"Remember, only master rampers allowed here, we must all ignore the plummeting SP!"

memories are made of this, eh, shareflyer!

An amusing thing is how converts become more evangelist than the usual lthers.

ouchy! 'zafira'! ouchy! comedy writer in the making...

Actually, wouldn't surprise me to find that some of the Semnet shares have been issued/forward sold into this rise. guess we'll see if there's an rns about the Semnet conclusion shortly.

I find it amusing that you still feel the need to mention me with the rise, as it'd make you feel happier to see someone making less than you on the rise... still here... just looking for the peak and retrace.

Likewise, i won't be complaining at a higher price. but, honestly, as long as it's agreed sooner than later and there's no extensions to deadlines will be fine with wahtever and the chance to move the money elsewhere. i guess the only potential upside is if the licence is still 'imminent', tailoring the final price.

You can't complain every time there's a downturn. if the US licence popped up this afternoon you'd be banging on about how well played it was!

no company can manipulate the economy. better off blaming Africa, if that helps!

rubbish for lthers... rubbish for anyone who held before Oct '23. for everyone else it's been a good bet.

I doubt Stonex will improve their offer. more likely that there'll be a bigger interest in taking 145... at best 150.

at least, i'd take it, now, having topped up this morning. 35-40% from the dtop... not sure lthers will be happy but depends just how long you want to hold for the turnaround.

imagine this settling back at 120 before next news.
