Personally, i'd like to think the sp will be well over 1p when all the news comes home to roost but, as they don't say anything, thee's always a chance that Easysend won't happen and tat Semnet shares will be issued at a miserable price. and, seeing as there's still potentially weeks to go before news it doesn't take much for algos topaint a miserable pic... hence me saying have some cash ready in case there's a dip. but it certainly doesn't look like company are interested in pushing the sp higher atm...

Doesn't look like anyone shorting... just algos printing silly trades to encourage selling. most of the 5.73 are for 2 shares per trade.

they're just looking for pi's to be frightened into selling at this miserable price.

Probably because they want the company to print those numbers, not another pi.

Mm's taking huge advantage of the sellers.

Said as much, Lloyd. interestingly, even if they leave it until the end of November, it only leaves 8 week, max to play with the sp.

i'd be v surprised to see the sp much lower but we all know it doesn't take much for algo's to mess around with the sp at little cost. (don't want to feed any truly ridiculous price predicitions ehre from... anyone!). if you have the cash and the price drops further, add in as, come the conclusion of those maybe 3 deals...

The upside is that, once/if both deal complete, then the sp will be expected to rise... after all, that IS the point of them getting shares!

I's say keeping the majority shareholders in the dark is much more negative.

Because this is a discussion board and we exchange ideas, good and bad, to get clarity from the lack of info from the bompany, so as to make decisions.

or maybe you don't like to know too much!

Agree with you Lloyd. the only real benefit to GST is that it secures the deal by sweetening the pot to the sellers in a way that indirectly, is paid for by existing holders i the, however temporary, drop in value.. even without a guarantee of a future rise, it would be expected and, just like any trader, they would want more shares than fewer for the same cash value.

I'd suggest, with a placing at 1.05 from 1.23, with no news since the placing to support the sp, with a barely nominal buy by Wellesley (and noone else!) and the complete disinterest in updating the market, but with a potentail Easysend acquisition that will, based on Semnet deal, also use shares to complete the deal (if it happens), it makes both deals all the sweeter for the recipient of the shares and inflates their worth!

that's not conspiracy, that's just looking at what's happening.

You forgot to use 'nefarious' in your bewailing. amen.

What you find difficult to understand is a forced drop in share price means that $1million in shares at 0.7 it twice the value of shares at 1.4p.

so, has the sp been deliberately dropped to accomodate more shares to be issued!

i'm amazed you don't get that undercutting the sp works to Semnet's and not GST retailers' favour, esp. if it has a lingering effect on the sp!

Now, i'd agree with that last para. BoD have zero respect for retailers, considering our holding, collectively.

their social media outlets are dead. their news feeds are dead. their pr is dead.

what it has going for it is, ironically, that opacity, whereby it's possible to hope that it hides something b positive. but, looking at them critically, we have a company that advertises acquusisitions months and years ahead of resolution, creates deals that remain unresolved, months on (Semnet deal is still unclear, due to the remaining '£1million in shares at variable price) and zero guidance beyond 6monthly rns'.

zero interviews, zero pr, very much a public company treated like it's a private company, with the only reaction to be deal with the frustration or get out!

F*** knows where 'pedo' accusations stem from but there are some posters here who are just loving venting anonymously and loving getting their anger out!

i think i'll be suggesting to admin that whole threads are removed, which is a shame as i can see that Lloyd has tried to give said people the benefit of the doubt and provided info but it's only good for everyone else.

please, god, let the responses stop! what a waste of space and reading for anyone looking here for info about the company.

sounds mornonic, for the most part!

At least, not until 800p.

i'll be buying in if it falls to 400p. and, tbh, if it bounces, folk can still be out with 550 before the budget comes in!

Great 1970s reference that the youth here will utterly understand! showing your age, eh, Enki, while throwig aspersions about others!

still, at least 0.7 is support...

Don't have anything to add but feel a desparate need to include yourself... too many of the posts here are just nothing wrapped up as knowing retailers.

pretty much only a small hanful of posters put anything out there for discussion. the rest just feel the need to say something without saying something.

but at least there are a few bites at 0.7 so it's found some support...

Too many folk on here think it's acceptable to throw insults about without apologies when shown to be overly aggresive and, invariably, wrong in thir accusations.

if you find it so easy to chuck insults about, learn how to thorw apologies too.

too many holders show up their own fearsand inadequacies about their averages by taking it out on others.

Makes me wonder how BoD would potentially benefit, seeing as they've never added to their holdings since the original buy back when they joined?

options would be:

* they either add more in the future, on some pivotal event (good or bad a long as still sub 2p)

* they would negotiate a continued position with whoever might take them over

* they're happy with just drawing a salary as they make money via other avenues (eg. owning Semnet and somehow pumping that, instead of GST)

their indifference in adding to holdings has always been a concern for me as it suggests they either don't have the cash or they see it as not currently having a positive enough future to warrant adding.

if i were BoD and had realistic projections of even 25p with this one, never mind 250p, why wouldn't they be filling their own boots when they've had the chance? the very idea that they think they 'have enough' is just ridiculous... so, what's their game?

Get back to the Old Testament, Simon... and keep looking for that burning bush.
