Someone just bought a single share - what's that all about??

And then someone came along and bought another £2M (almost) worth.

Look really strong to me - but share price is only up 1p. So, am I missing something?

Nice vote of confidence there - just a shade under £250,000 worth of shares purchased in one go (not by me, I hasten to add).

"Good"??? One of my biggest holdings (very long term). Wish all my other shares could come up with updates like this:- "Strong performance" "Continued improvements in all areas" "Ahead of prior year" "Strong result" "Improved" "Increases" "Outlook positive" Outlook - significant increase over 2015"

Possibly read across from profit warning today from St. Ives (SIV)???

This seems to work for me. http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=GLIF&ArticleCode=xy8hjoop&ArticleHeadline=Consolidated_Results_for_The_Year_Ended_31122015

ST in Investors Chronicle updates today and says "run profits targeting fair value of around 150p"

I wasn't suggesting that they weren't allowed to issue more shares at below market price just that it is very frustrating (for this existing holder at least). Hopefully they will stop once they hit that 168M figure. Have to be careful about what one says on public forums but I 'm sure we can all think why management might want to double value of properties owned. Halving running costs would be nice but I for one wouldn't bet on it. No problem with being stalked - but wouldn't recommend that you follow any of my decisions. If I buy it's usually a good signal to sell and vice versa. I only bought VOF fairly recently - so far I'm happy.

Oh dear - SP hits 108.50 to buy so they go and issue another load of equity at 106.50

Thought I was rich for a moment (not really though).

ST write up online today with "recovery" BUY recommendation and target of 40.75p

Simon Thompson on Investors Chronicle online gives it a SELL rating today.

You'd have to be very brave - personally I wouldn't consider it until confirmation that they have got a right issue away and on what terms. 24p still sounds a big gamble at this stage of proceedings.

"what other change is there?" Ah, if only life were so simple. Perception has changed for one thing. Shareholders (or at least small shareholders) thought one thing yesterday and for months before that. Now management have finally admitted just how bad the situation is and so the value of the brand has suffered and this has been, is being and will be reflected in the share price. I was a holder for quite some time believing the story that all that stock really was worth what SGI told me it was. I held on for far too long but am now glad I got out at 41p for a BIG loss.

Give it until next week - I think the price will be a lot closer to 10p.

Yep. More good results and good outlook from management but maybe some investors feel the good times can't go on forever and are cashing in. Wider market is pretty poor so maybe not surprising that this one gets dragged down with the rest. I'm happy holding on. But what do I know?

Sorry. I thought you were referring to my post back in July when IC tipped this as a BUY.
