Always like to see inside buying. Been a fair amount of it in many of my stocks recently too. Hopefully bodes well. Meanwhile, I took a few more here today myself. That tranche I am looking to offload around 120p or so hopefully. If we see a market pull back that brings this one back to that 102p or so level that I had my eye on, I will likely take another few to add to the longer term pot. Would be happy enough not to get the chance though! GLA.

See the update - the original RNS was wrong. It was a Director purchase, not a sale.

Pretty careless error by whoever writes these things. Luckily it did not (probably) have a material impact on the SP activity today. I retract my earlier comment now too, based on this correction.

Yeah, good work, Pokerchips. It is one thing to go from bullish to bearish (or vice versa), or indeed just to openly nip in and out for trades, but poor form to play that game IMO. Yes, of course nobody should rely on any chat board poster etc, but nevertheless, just play straight!

Anyway, despite the sidetrack stuff, nothing has changed here in real terms since the last update. A solid hold for me right now and a further buy if I can get a few more for a quid or perhaps 102p. GLA.

I would rather a small number of free returns per year, rather than 20 quid 'all you can return' flat rate. IMO, you need to stop those tools loading up and then dumping items as per that intagram game (or whatever it was). A small flat rate charge is unlikely to touch the sides for this cohort - but as I have said before, this is not an industry sector that I am particularly familiar with, so hopefully those who do know this area (the BOD), will find a suitable solution to this problem. Maybe push the ESG angle? 'Save the planet. Buy and keep our fast fashion stuff' or 'ASOS is not just for an insta moment, but for life' :)

Completely agree. Next update not at least in line with guidance, changes will have to be made.

Before then though, I support a radical change to the returns policy. Cannot believe there seem to be so many chancers who take the pi** as per some of the examples shared here. Anyway, GLA while we watch and wait.

Well, that CEO sale is not going to encourage me to buy more here. I know it is only a trifling amount, but all the more reason to find cash elsewhere, rather than a stock sale, if he needed additional funds, IMO.

Anyway, at least the RNS has not hit the SP today. Fingers crossed I do not get to make a decision as to whether to add more here at the price I had in mind. Less inclined to do so now. IMO, CEO should have bought at least 5% of his salary in the window of opportunity to do so. Hey ho.

I bought a few of these a few months ago. Heard positive things about them, on top of a good dividend and a fairly battered SP too. More battered now of course! The thinking being this could be a stock to buy and forget about, as mostly I buy/invest/trade individual stocks, so some additional balance to the p/f.

Still a holder and will probably stick with the original plan, but not buying more yet because IMO this is going lower.

Also, considering their investments in WBI (until recently) and ENET (the latter I have the misfortune of having lost money on)...I am really hoping they do not have too many more dogs in the p/f! I can buy hounds all by myself :) I guess if ENET does come good and PMI ends up making a profit in that one, it will offer some comfort. Really not convinced personally, but time will tell.

I did not think the PMI update was that good. Inside buying would be welcome while we wait for some recovery. On the fence really, but willing to give them some more time because until recently, lots to like I think. Only as good as your next quarter/year etc though, of course.

Would take a quid a share right now. Would bite your hand off for 120p, but would happily take 150p or more if I can get that :)

I jumped out recently for the slimmest of profits. Well short of my original target. Banks just seem a worse risk/reward proposition at the current time than a host of other outfits in different sectors IMO. And VIX is only 18 at the time of writing! That said, low 140's on no company-specific news and I can see myself twitching for another buy here, like a moth to a flame :) Not suggesting I think that will be the bottom (new year low at some point IMO, since you asked), but I think another trade maybe around that level. Always fun to speculate. Fun to be right too, although that is less common in my case :) If no new year low before December, my call here will be wrong (to the poster, I forget who now, but not my statement to this end a while back). GLA.

It was the action of a credible Director, and I have a lot of time for the BOD here, especially Mr Loots. I know he bought a lot more in the past, and the markets are being really ruthless right now, but I am not one of his critics. I wish some of the BODs of some of my other AIM holdings were as good, or at least put their hand in their own pockets, like these ones do! :)

I still maintain that it is the geopolitics that is really hurting this company right now, although the last update with those unfortunate elements obviously did not help. And there is not much that they can do about the macro stuff. They just need to control the things that they can control, fix what they can, and hope the politics does not snowball.

Well, I took a few more, even though the sound of the falling knife was more like a chainsaw :)

Subject to the usual caveats, will take a final small tranche if we see low 3's and then sitting on my hands (or whatever is left of the limbs by that stage!)

Agree it must be an ii reducing or exiting.

IMO this outfit is worth more than a fiver, even at fire sale prices, but time will tell. Agree that the inside buys could have been more significant. Heat increasing on the senior people here IMO. GLA.

There was a time when an RNS like this one would have been very positive for the SP, and wider shareholder sentiment would have been brimming with optimism.

Now, IMO, it is merely acting as a method for one or more of the larger holders to dump into any potential buying interest.

Ah well, all will be revealed to those of you who remain here in June I guess. Perhaps it will be better than many fear, although needless to probably say, my opinion remains unchanged currently. Good luck holders.

Glad to see MDA conditions attached to these new options, but think the strike price should be higher than the last raise price. Especially given the last raise price was probably a bit of a gut punch to holders at that time. I would like to have seen at least 16p - but preferably 20p - but hopefully this does mean that the licence is close now. Fingers and toes crossed, everyone! :)

Good to see inside buying, but in this case, I think they may not look big enough purchases to reverse the current trend here. Some of the early morning sells looked like an ii as well, but I could be wrong. Still watching, but not buying, at the moment. GLA.

Odysseus: Based on my experience to date, I only seem to make a profit when I trade. Every LTH has cost me realised or paper losses. I only have a small and recent position here, but if this drops to a quid, I may well take some more with a view to trading it, on top of a planned addition to the potential LTH pot I have in mind here already. Subject to obvious caveats. Risk of compounding losses that way too of course, so no cast-iron certainties in any direction, but touch wood, this approach (which I have only been doing for a couple of years so far) seems to be working, by and large. But ultimately one can only try and find an approach that works for you as you go along. Good weekend all.

They still have time, but the SP tells you that the clock is ticking. Everyone knows that, including Iain and the rest of the team. I agree, some more inside buying will probably be required for any of us to follow suit. I bought in here as a bit of a punt after Iain joined, and am willing to see what happens, with my eyes fully open. Expectations suitable for the risk profile too. Would probably take a few more if he did another 100K (or more) buy. Buttons at this price! Good weekend all.

Really? I wonder which politician/friend/donor is going to get that (entirely unnecessary) taxpayer funded contract?

Small change compared to what they embezzled/allowed to be embezzled during the heady days of Covid, but times are different now and so cloth must be cut accordingly I guess :) Just joking of course. Everything has always been not only above board, but also entirely justified, I am sure we can all agree.

Good weekend all.

Oh, a very conservative 5 quid or so. Well, I hope it proves to be very conservative of course, rather than ambitious :)

Also bought in with the potential/hope of catching a bid, but not sure if this threat will be removed now with the raise. Threat for LTH's anyway, rather than newbies with lower averages, who would naturally welcome a quick 100%. Even though such a number would presumably be rejected by the main holders pretty quickly.

CEO will be feeling the heat if the next market update does not show signs that the strategy is working. Should have bought a chunk on the open market by now too, IMO. If he does not do so, that will be another black mark against him to my mind, but not enough to influence my trading position here. Might feel differently if I were a LTH though.

This sector is not my typical bag, so to speak, so I can bring even less knowledge and wisdom to the table than usual. Meaning my buying in here may act as a useful inverse ETF, Cramer-style :) GLA.

I was not expecting the SP to fly today either, but while I can see logic in the decision to raise, I am in the camp of people not impressed with the CEO saying one thing the other day and then doing this. Putting that aside, in this lending climate, I think this shows the company still has quite a lot of clout. I think this will become evident when other outfits achieve worse lending terms in the months ahead. Just my opinion though and time will tell.

My target price remains unchanged, but might take a few more if we revisit 4 quid again. GLA.

What is your average, TheA20? Although the update was not great, IMO the BOD here have got a track record that will hopefully see these various issues resolved fairly soon. Easier for me to say from my current position as a non-holder, I appreciate. Would like to see Mr Loots and some of his colleagues buy some today too if possible. This is a market that is really punishing anything that is not a stellar update.
