And another inside sell, which I only just saw (been focusing on a few other names this past week).

Think I will tweak my sell order for the final tranches I hold here on Monday.

Not going to dump at any price, because nothing particularly fundamental has changed in this time, but quite frankly, I simply think there are better places to put money to work than here, right now.

Presumably so does this chap. Hey ho.

Well, I cannot speak for others, but I have found that my trading successes far outweigh my buy and hold investing strategy successes. Spanning nearly eight years now.

So, unless you can stock pick like Lynch or Buffett, then perhaps finding a method that helps you to make more than you lose (if you are in the stock market as a PI) is all that matters?

Not to mention that there are plenty of very successful traders out there. Bit harsh to call it a mugs game, IMO.

Anyway, have not looked in here for a while, but I see that the SP has retraced quite a bit since then.

That Brown takeout came to my mind too, which jogged my memory to look back in here.

Always an interesting one and as I have said before, fond one for me, having been the most traded stock for me personally. A buy and hold strategy from my very first buy to now, would have me sitting on a fairly large loss, versus roughly a double or so on aggregate. Perhaps more.

Not a brag, FWIW. I have lots of losses under my belt. Especially those that have been in the LTH basket.

Anyway, I am wondering whether a possible head and shoulders might be forming on the chart. Quite early doors (late August to now and the second shoulder has not even formed, let alone a broken neckline etc).

On the other hand, good results should render this more likely to hit a new yearly high, even in a weak market, IMO.

Neither bullish or bearish on this name right now, but rooting for the longs nevertheless. GLA.

An activist investor that encourages the BOD to buy a big slug of stock from their own pocket would be a good start.

No way would this have gone this low after the last update, had a few of them done so.

Anyway, it is what it is. Good weekend all.

Erm, what about the SP performance in the run up to 140p? That juicy rise was after the previous ex div date.

Amazing that any retail bought a single share in the raise. It is not like the SP was above the raise price right up until the last moment. Hey ho. GLA.

If we go into the update around this price or slightly lower, on the back of nothing company-specific, then as long as they are within guidance, this one will enjoy a material rise on the day/days that follow, IMO.

Not adding myself just yet, but depending on how the next few trading days go and my (attempted) read of the charts, I may well take a few more in anticipation thereof.

It seems to me that this government, like the last one, is using the media to sound out policies.

Terrible way to run things. Total lack of conviction and confidence in their own abilities IMO.

Not to mention creating potential market moving events, which could be exploited by unscrupulous people with political inside knowledge, to the short or long side.

Not that I am suggesting that such a thing happens of course. Neither here or across the Pond.

Lol. I have no idea whether or not the market priced this solid update in yesterday, or we will see another run up, to those target levels we touched upon yesterday.

While I would welcome a spike of course, I am just somewhat relieved that there were no nasties today :) GLA.

Phew. In Pers we trust :) GLA.

Who would have thought that that opaque index would cause liquidity problems?

Well, every man and his dog, apart from Stephen it seems. Sigh.

The thing is, and a point I should have asked BetterCallSaul, if you are confident that this is a 100p plus stock, then why would you not open a position slightly earlier than you think it will go to?

Just in case your target entry price does not hit (been there many times, personally).

Obviously, if you are not bullish on the direction of travel to the upside, then that is a different matter.

But BCS suggested he thinks this will go back to the 140p level (if my memory serves me correct) - and beyond in fact - so with an expected upside in excess of 40%, remaining entirely on the sidelines does not seem a good risk to reward proposition, to my mind.

The moat is data, and established relationships with a range of entities and organisations that in many cases are not easy to break into.

Indeed. I will only buy more around this price, if some of the BOD do.

And not some trifling sum like 10K either. IMO, they need to make a statement of intent - meaty purchase(s) - to show that their words are not simply words, in the fashion of a politician.

Otherwise, I will stick with the trading plans, which, even without a financial vote of confidence by them, IMO will be obtainable with my current average here. GLA.

I have no idea whether or not they will take this out of suspension, but to suggest that current holders will get 5.5 times the current SP, in the event they wind up operations and sell off assets, is wildly optimistic IMO.

If shareholders get anything back from this position, I would be fairly amazed quite frankly.

Hopefully you get justice, if indeed anything untoward has happened here, but keep expectations low, would be my view in the shoes of holders. GLA.

SP action of the past few weeks might be explained by the newly disclosed Blackrock short.

Interesting. GLA.

I wonder if that 3m trade was a short closing?

On the chart to my mind, so have taken a few more.

Sitting on my hands now with this one, and will see what happens. GLA.

Indeed! Yeah, I can see that range too, subject to no nasties obviously.

While I think 70p might be too rich, and am sticking with the more conservative range I suggested the other day...

Number 1: I would be more than happy to have been overly cautious.

Number 2: As long as no nasties, my target exit price will remain slightly north of that for a slice, and materially north for a total exit.

All I want to see for now is progress. I am in no rush with this one.

Nevertheless, fingers crossed, gulp :) GLA.

Big bet! Welcome aboard.

What is your target price here, if you are amenable to sharing?

Not sure. The spread this morning was terrible, so I am (pleasantly) surprised that it has attracted some buyers.

Would the inside transfer of shares (as per the RNS today) have an impact like this on a SP?

Genuinely curious, if anyone here knows the answer. It is not a fresh buy, so cannot see why it would.

Anyway, I felt, and still feel, that the price does not reflect the value here, so hopefully I will not get the chance to add more in the low 70's.

But we need to get back above 100p-ish IMO to feel confident that perhaps the bottom is now in. GLA.
