By my reckoning, someone has bought 1% of the company today. Either another large stake builder or a top up of the existing....or a large short covering maybe

Stokey only if it closes above 20p...and Jabido...re the placing, I took 100,000 to support it and a lot more all the way down. Got my 2 year average down so far that I may be going positive if today's move is confirmed by the close.

Huge volume at 20 p is good sign

Will look to add if close is above 20p...added yday.

Looks like the MM Peel Hunt have a big buyer.

Si...I was thinking it was linked to the after hours trade that went through Friday...500,000 @ 19.5p

The uptrend support line is currently at 18.5p with all moving averages still in great shape. Wednesday should see 20 day cross 100 day as planned... by which time the uptrend support will have risen to 19p.
This will be an important test.

Stokey...ignore the activist as he/she/they are just trying to muddy the waters. All is good. We knew this was coming. It changes nothing. Chance to finally put these tree huggers to bed. Lets focus on the positives. Belfast is firing on all cylinders, generating employment for local people and much needed cash for HW.
Nothing to see here, move song swampy

Anyone selling on this would need to look at the fact virtually no value is reflected in the companies market cap. It feels like a MMs shakedown.

Can anyone tell me where the BBC got this story at 6am this morning?

The more I write and think about the prospects for HW, the more I want to buy at these levels (added 56,000 last 2 weeks). In Wind and New Build vessels, the news continues to point 100% in the right direction. I admit, the lead times are long buy so are the contract durations. 150 new UK ships over 30 years will need Belfast and Appledore to achieve. Wind farm development is gaining pace and traction with local content becoming more important despite the ire of the EU.
Cash flow Breakeven, we are led to believe, was achieved with only a fraction of the ships now contracted for servicing in 2022.
IM will come good despite local opposition.
All this leads me to think £10m profit (EBITDA) is well within reach next 12 months. If anything, that is way below potential should all strings of the bow pull together. Who knows what peak earnings could look like but a £30m current market capitalisation is absurd. Given the two recent shareholder announcements, it is clear that this belief is gaining a wider, deeper pocketed audience. .
A £100m market cap is possible this year. I don't need to tell you where that puts the share price but 19.75p it ain't!

At the recent Irish Expo HW unveiled their new bespoke build and service operation. At this point, they can only offer plans for their new design. Can I suggest to management that they build this Trawler now. They have the cash. It would be a great selling feature if operators could actually sail the vessel. It could tour the fishing fleets around the UK and Ireland. Maybe have confidence to build 2, with one ready to buy off the shelf. Think big guys and get Appledore on the front foot.

Blairpeach...thanks for your insight. As ever, very worthwhile contribution. Now get back to biting the heads off small children.

Wow thanks Si. Huge Aquis buys in last 10mins! Wonder if that was part of our massive? Or other like minded chartists

Si, can you share link to Aquis please. Never used it myself. Volume there does not show on the London Stock Exchange.
Well done everyone. A start of the LSEHW massive.??

Happy with that guys...MMs did as expected.
i printed at 19.61 and 19.64...fingers crossed.

Nobby et all. Yes, I will be putting in some more then. First we need to ensure 19p plus close...if we dream, 20p plus.
As for contracts, the technicals pick up movements in sentiment. Often that movement is as a result of whispers and insider knowledge. I am not saying that's the only reason but with no placing in the wings, why would new major shareholders and a positive wind/navy backdrop, fail to drive some enthusiasm.

Hi Nobby. MMs can be long (bullish) of shares or they can be short (bearish) of shares. They might be short in the knowledge that a (or multiple) seller is keen to sell...or just because they think the stock is going down (bearish) . They might be long, in the knowledge a (or multiple) buyer is eager for stock or just because they think the company is doing great (bullish).
Since the last issue of stock in Nivember, the highest close has been 20p. The previous day to that, the shares closed around 29.5p. That's a huge gap and chartists hate gaps believing that they will eventually be closed. If we can achieve a close above 20p, many technical traders will be drawn to closing that gap. If we collectively buy, thus being meaningful in size, we will a) stop the MMs from low ticking at the close and b) maybe get it above 20p. I believe the MMs have, for several months, had a massive seller (s). They may have been short off his back.
Hope that helps.

If we want to bump this into the next bug move...we should all make a buy around 4:20pm...no matter how small. It will have a big affect on the close.

We have not closed above 19 to date this year. Yes, final mark has been above but not 19+ bid on close. If we do tonight...glory be. But let's wait. Its interesting to see the MMs shy of bidding up at mo. Makes my old jobbing/mm brain say...hey, there short??? Who knows. What I do know is, if they were long up the young yangs...they would not hesitate to give the impression of strong demand
