I sold my 2500 shares yesterday morning. They were held by Hargreaves Lansdown - and I tried to sell them on-line in a normal fashion. But I was repeatedly told that this could not be carried out in the current market conditions. I was surprised - since the EMS is 3000 shares, so there should have been no problems in getting a bid/offer quote. So I requested a Fill or Kill order with a minimum price of 128p (at the bottom of the displayed band), and this was carried out. Thereafter the price continued to fall. My initial holding goes back to October 2016, with a later top-up on July 2017. At that stage everything seemed to be going well, with lots of orders, and the share price rose accordingly. I remain puzzled by the size and speed of the current price fall.
