' it is being run in the interest of a single shareholder' - actually, it's not, just now, evidence the recent spat between the chairman and chief executive. Will be interesting to see how long the major shareholder allows the situation to continue. If the chief exec is forced out, or forced to back down, it will be time to sell.

being played here. INM sits with 60m. in the bank, waiting for other papers to run out of cash and appeal for help. But will they? The lefties at the Times would rather die, but what will they do when the bailiff is at the door? Interesting ...

Some real big sells recently.

Johnston Press up 40% today on rumours of disposals.

It;'s not just the sector, a 29% shareholder tends to deter buyers. The cash in the bank is there for a reason, but for what? Can we be confident it will be deployed in the best interests of ALL the shareholders? Can't say I'm confident.

Another substantial sell. Seems news is not coming just yet.

A few modest buys today, two massive sells. Mixed messages, to say the least.

Bit of interest here, news on the way? You know why DOB cannot afford to buy the rest of INM.

we should buy the Guardian? or they should buy our management team?

The shares are now VERY cheap. Generating cash, money in the bank - what's not to like?

No reason at all why this should have fallen on Brexit, most of revenues are in Euros. Investors are getting tired of waiting for something to happen. Time for a dividend.

No way DOB will buy out the company. Present situation suits him fine, effective control.

Now Commerzbank has halved its holding. Tired of waiting for something to happen?

Circulation and revenue down again. Not good news, in an election year. One just wonders what is happening to the competition.

Sounds like the kind of outfit that would appeal to DOB, and vice versa. They would certainly be in a position to find out what the management's plans are. Must be disappointed about something. Lack of dividend? Hardly likely to be crucial.

"Polar Capital Holdings plc is a research driven investment management company providing a highly entrepreneurial environment for outstanding portfolio managers within a structure that offers a level of marketing, administrative and operational support normally found in much larger organisations." Hmm ...

So. Polar Capital have sold abt 10 million shares, abt 0.75% of the company. They still have 5 1/2%. I wonder how or where they were traded, and to whom. No sign on share-trade record here. Explains the recent slight weakness, I suppose. Anyone know who they are?

Thing is, once this drug is approved and on market for one disease (childhood epilepsy), it will inevitably be tried for other indications. Can't lose, really, so long as it's not priced too high.

What on earth is going on here?

all gone away?
