Look at it another way. Mr Woodford is happy with the job she has been doing at Helphire than he was behind her new appointment and/or he thinks she has turned the company around and now is the time for her to move on to bigger roles?

Agreed. If once the February results are issued (and hopefully an Autofocus update) the directors still do not buy any shares, I will be getting twitchy. Going forward, any share options awarded better be at a demanding share price level ie. 10-15p. The signs are good but obviously this sector can change direction quite quickly and competition is tough. Not long now for hopefully some clarification. GLA

Added here today.. FITB definitely worth another look imo. GL

Either due to buying volume today or the fact results are not far off?

Might add here tomorrow, a bit gutted the share price has fallen back but it provides a good buying opportunity GL

I suppose it's just picking the dogs that may eventually recover like HHR. I don't have that much patience here but will give the shares some time to see if a re-rating takes place. As for ECR I got some at 0.21p just because it looks oversold - so far this year I have become more a short term investor which works sometimes but not always as I sold out of GDL too soon lol.

It would be interesting to know if there's a survey which states the different causes of car accidents and percentages involved ie. the percentage relating to poor reaction time etc. Weather is only one factor. Over the last few years there has been less cars on the road and miles travelled due to the recession and the price of car insurance/petrol which has not helped Helphire either. At the very least this appears to have bottomed out now that the government has crapped the fuel tax annual increases. As for car insurance it would be interesting to know the impact equality laws will have with female drivers now having to pay more.. Chipf - good to hear from you.

Just because a share has over a billion shares in issue doesn't necessarily mean you should avoid it. This company is not a bio, oil or mining share far off from making a profit and issuing more shares left, right and centre aka MTV or ECR. So my question is - "if there was a 100 for 1 share consolidation, would you buy?". Of course it's a risk share but those results were positive including the outlook so I'm happy to hold for further gains...

LOL you bet me to it by 5 seconds! They do say great minds think alike!!

Wow look at the 12.5 million purchase just before the close! Hopefully a gradual re-rating will now take place. GLA

Points West (Bristol/Bath area) just been reporting on the weather and featured RAC out on the road - then came the comment "car accident/replacement firms are reporting that today was the busiest day they have ever seen".

Should have held on - afternoon buyers now

I just cannot understand why there has been so much selling on this news? Perhaps making an quick 5-10% is the norm these days?

Why the need for regular updates? I can just to a dummy buy/sell to check!

Read the results again - full year to exceed market expectations. Fast growing company on a unreal low PE rating of 6-7. What other posters are saying is that if it was on a sector average PE rating then the share price should be higher.

Well I don't see the share price falling!

Just scroll up 3 inches and the graph is on the right next to the daily share price movement

TBH no idea about the share price but looking at the 3 month chart a retrace back down to (say) 2.7p in on the cards before the next leg up to 3.3p..imo ahead of the results. This is about the right price for now ahead of finally knowing the settlement figure which MAY mean a re-rate to between 5-10p. Some sort of corporate action looks vital sometime in the next year with ABS model the favourite but it is not a cert. Perhaps it will become clearer when the results are issued? Can Helphire survive long term? Who knows - it will continue to get squeeze if the company does not continue to adapt to market changes and cannot cut costs forever, but I don't think it is an issue for several years although bank facilities need to be renewed December 2014. GLA

I think quite a few here are selling out to buy the open offer shares - let's hope the share price is still over 2p when these shares come to the market!

I have averaged down on other shares many times - sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I suppose when the shares get back to 4p (which they should eventually) it should depend on the latest RNS and outlook on whether to sell out or reduce - I have also learnt not to get too attached to any one share. Good luck going forward - let's hope for a silver lining here.
