Thanks for the link Stonehenge.

You need to be very careful with the broker recommendations and learn which ones to trust as some of them not only post target prices, but actually hold the stock and trade it as well, in all sorts of manners. Goldman Sachs I must admit to having come across on Micro Focus on one previous set of results and whereby they issued a Buy recommendation on MCRO when it was about £4.00 and it opened up about 10 or 15% and kept rising to just about £5.30. It never got to £6.50 but it did then fell back to about £3.80. Imho only they punted that note to sell into. Many will also know about Morgan Stanley on Cineworld where on that occasion there was a similar scenario. They had holdings in the stock at the same time as commentating on it and it was an open joke over there that they would be punting out Buy notes or sell notes one day and then over the next few days or so they would release an RNS's that was completely the opposite. So issue a Buy note and they would then have a decreased holding and vice versa. With broker notes you really need to find out which ones can be trusted. They are all out to make money, by hook or by crook.

Strange though that both come out on the same day - after two days of falls.

Forgive me for thinking they may have had short positions, added the icing on top this morning with daft prices and may be closing out those positions by buying back stock. Probabl;y more on top. Stay under 0.5% and no-one is any the wiser. You inform the FCA at 0.1% as per the short selling Regs but if under 0.5% they never get published.

We all know shops in the UK are reopening, for what should be permanently on the 12th April. Strange time to be issuing notes now after a year of pandemic. Ex-Dividend also on the 1 April??

Amidst all the smoke and mirrors and lack of transparency of city dealings and trying to figure out whats behind things the one thing that we do have is the ability to Buy Low and Sell High.

I think I'll sign up onto the Reddit Forum. Shouldn't be too hard to garnish support with an NAV of 82p.

Doesn't quite stack up - Yet !!

Might be a third wave but probably manageable via restrictions, temp. lockdowns and crucially with vaccinations rolling out across the back of it all.

Talking of which I see that the EU embarassingly (for the 2nd time) have had to bite humble pie and restart their own vaccine programmes, with most of the main European countries now restarting again, and of which there is something like 40 Million doses of the Oxford Astra Zenica vaccine sat in in fridges in the EU.

Get on with accelerating their vaccine rollouts and targeting the right risk groups as we have done and they like us will reap the reward. Too much talk and not enough doing imho.

Another great deal and it looks like the packaging market this time. Healthy visible revenues quoted as well.

I think as things are going it won't be taking us too long to achieve the stated goal of turning from a £30M Revenue company to £300 Million.

Read the previous resume of the Shares article.

Very good CEO at the helm here and who knows his business.

with it resiliently holding at over 120p

Nobody is trying to discourage you from learning and I was actually one that responded to you yesterday. Where I think you have gone wrong is this morning that you seem to have popped up on a down swing in the share price (which someone pointed out) and kept asking questions. The bulletin board has seen all sorts of posters on it prior to you, many of whom have probably been paid to post distasteful comments and to scaremonger. They normally are new faces with no real posting history (or holding). Probably best therefore to post your questions outside market hours and I am sure someone will try and help you out.

Just to assist you and to help you get started there are a few good books out there. Here are two and some associated material.

*The Naked Trader for one was mentioned and he has several good books out there. Always try and pick up the latest edition if you can but there is nothing wrong with a back copy off ebay. (The examples might be a bit more dated) Avoid any he has on Spread Betting at this point. Also be aware that he also has a website whereby he posts Diary comments I think every Wednesday and also details some of his trades and dealing history so you can follow them. He also offers seminars for about £550 etc. Normally these are held at a hotel near Heathrow and they are better if face to face but presently due to Covid they are being done by Zoom or similar.
https://www.nakedtrader.co.uk/

*Another good book for watching and interpreting movements in shares and what some might term"Day trading" which you get predominantly ?on Aim shares is "A Beginners Guide to Short Term Trading" by Toni Turner. It explains things like charts, floors, ceilings, moving averages, candlesticks, etc
Both good starting points and just keep abreast of the News and how it may affect certain shares.

*Shares Magazine is also a really good starting point and they have over the last 5 or 6 weeks been completing articles for those new to Investing and explaining things. It is subscription of about £120 for a year, but once you sign up it lets you access all the back copies of the Magazine contents. They research stocks and shares well and normally? make you money.

*Re Live prices it is hard to get this without paying. here though is two ways you can get it for free.
*With a Shares magazine subscription as above, or I believe £5000 in shares In AJ.BELL who own the magazine you can create Watchlists and portfolios and track all manner of shares "live" on one screen.
*If you want Live prices for free (but more basic) try Investing.com, sign up and create a Portfolio with the ones you want to keep an eye on. You can tweak what variables get shown on your screen. Others you might find will be 15 minute delayed prices which are no use.
*You can also get more involved and detailed live information called Level 2 but it might cost you about more at £400 to £800 per year, Naked Trader gets deals. It shows the active orders out and market makin

Gusto1 if you are using Short Tracker CV will have dropped off the active short positions as they are under 0.5%. Will still show as 0.49% on the recent transactions but as they are under the 0.5% threshold then there should be no more reporting should they wish to exit the rest That is why imho they reduced things to just under that threshold. The rest they can close without anyone noticing. I'll be surprised if not completely gone. An mere abberation of a holding in the bigger scheme of things in any case.

"SSR minimum reporting threshold is now 0.1% for all issuers in the UK – 1 February 2021 update
On 6 January 2021, the Treasury published the Short Selling (Notification Thresholds) Regulations 2021 No. 5 (the Regulations) to amend the notification threshold under Article 5(2) of the Short Selling Regulation from 0.2% to 0.1% of the issued share capital of an issuer. This change comes into force on 1 February 2021.
This means that from 1 February 2021 the notification threshold for issued share capital of a company that has shares admitted to trading on a UK trading venue (UK Regulated Market and UK MTF) is 0.1%.
Firms who on 1 February 2021 (and thereafter) reach or cross the 0.1% reporting threshold should send their net short position notifications to us as required under the UK SSR.
There is no requirement for firms to submit retrospective net short position notifications to us on positions that reached between 0.10% and 0.19% during the period 1 January 2021 to 31 January 2021.
Firms who have been notifying us of their net short positions at the lower 0.1% threshold that was in place until 31 December 2020 should continue to do so for all their positions held in issuers that have shares admitted to trading on UK regulated markets and UK MTFs."

They were on the ShortTracker list yesterday still with 0.49% short position still existing but that site no longer report if you are under 0.5%.

FCA site tonight though is not showing them. Reporting though to the FCA should be done if you are in excess of 0.1%. Not showing on there tonight.

I actually took it that the reduction to 0.49% yesterday was to close the rest and slip out the door without anyone noticing.

Anybody got access to clearer data?

RNS on CINE today. Standard Life reduce their holding by 0.5%. Share price doesn't blink and still up over 4%

RNS at HMSO today. MS reduce their holding by half of that so 0.25%. Share price retreats from (or would it be more correct to say, has been made to retreat from 39.75p to about 37.50p. So about about a negative 6%.

All down to market making imho.

Net Asset Value still unchanged at 82p.
Shops still set to reopen permanently and irreversibly on 12th April

No, I actually thought it was NoFear issuing his own RNS

I did think the last 2 days were harsh

What was robbed off people earlier in the year.

Congratulations NoFear

"Short Stocks and Dividend Payments
Shorting a stock is essentially selling it and then buying it back at a future price.1? If the price falls, there is a profit. If the price rises, there is a loss. The stock needs to be borrowed from a shareholder to sell it without owning it. A brokerage firm usually handles this process. There is generally a borrowing fee for the stock, depending on its availability and liquidity. Additionally, the borrower of the stock is responsible for paying any dividends.2?

If an investor is short a stock on the record date, they are not entitled to the dividend.3

? In fact, the investor is instead responsible for paying the dividend owed to the lender of the shorted stock that they borrowed. Investors short a stock if they expect it to decline in value."

Investopaedia

A good interview with R-R-G and an honest reflection of things and I have to say I researched her credentials and they are extremely good. She is saying it exactly how it is goinglarge as we are still in a pandemic.

That said there is light at the end of the tunnel now that wasn't there before she took the job. Namely there is vaccine program that will have all the top cohorts vaccinated by mid April and with the shops reopening on the 12th April. The amount of discretionary spending that people have squirreled away with little to spend it on during lockdown is colossal. That flow of money through the tills should see a vastly improvements in rent payment and rent recovery.

It is also reassuring to hear that they have been lobbying for some form of online tax in an effort to equalise and make things much fairer. It has to come and in the meantime the Chancellors business rates relief and Vat reductions and grants will help.

Hopefully now the unscrupulous monies yesterday either got out (shorts closing) or in (large after trades), or both, we can resume back to an orderly upward path.

12th of April in the UK for Shops reopening and for footfall in our Centres again and tills ringing.

Financial calendar

Ex-dividend date (SA) 31 March 2021

Ex-dividend date (UK & Ireland) 1 April 2021

Record date 6 April 2021

Final dividend payable 13 May 2021

hellyeah, you'll probably find that Cape View exited the remainder today, and were assisted. Either that or another one has just disappeared. Where there is money at stake then there will always be somebody unscrupulous trying to seek an advantage for financial gain. Book of tricks thrown at it today.

Tomorrow though should be an entirely different day and things can move just as quickly the other way.

Pickuzawinnah, 82p as you pointed out is the Net Asset Value and the underlying value of the bare bones assets of HMSO and without any consideration for the business as a going concern. Just to clarify that didn't come from me in the first instance. It came out of the results day presentation and the Boards response to analysts.

Forward we go to UK shops fully reopening in 17 days time in the UK on the 12th April. End of a years wait for some. Irreversibly and permanently. Cash in tills and a dramatic recovery in rents paid.

Nice scrip dividend bonus also up if you are on the Register on the Ex-Div date of 1/4/21.

Why not indeed as these are prime city centre locations and should attract very good sale prices given the present strength in the Housing market.

Just pop them in the Filter Bin Gusto1

Shops reopen on the 12th April.

Net Asset Value - for the assets of the company only is 82p. (Conservative imho)

At this rate he'll be hitting his first trigger point before they have even reopened, and effectively for keeping quiet and letting the vaccine rollout work its magic.
