Up more than 8% today. Some people always seem to have inside knowledge. Perhaps an RNS due, giving the financial all clear - and a big boost to the sp??
Only speculation on my part, but I would welcome some good news as I am heavily invested in the debacle that is Polx: great product, exceptionally inept management.

I’m surprised there are no short positions. Is there a reason for this?

The management of Polx are blundering bunglers in terms of investor relations. How could they have possibly thought that such a mishandled presentation was a good idea? What a shower!

The market always over reacts initially, up or down. Remember that the sp hit over 70p shortly after FDA approval was announced. I regard this rns as a sensible statement of the obvious: no jam today but plenty of jam down the road. No need to panic.

The forces of darkness (ie the sellers intent on pushing the sp down for whatever reason) have had a good day. But not for long, I hope.

Any source or specificity? Or just a rumour plucked out of the ether?

Not so far - thank god.

Quite a wild swing on the pay - more than 11% from low to high! Wish I had bought at the lows, but I’m considerably over weighted already.

SP fighting valiantly against the forces of darkness. Buys exceed sells. Might be in blue by close (but, sadly, not 100p)?

Sp well up on day’s lows. If it was panic selling, people are easily panicked. There may also have been margin calls, I suppose.

Polx is one of my two largest holdings. I haven’t sold any and I don’t intend to. Patience will be rewarded in due course, I’m sure.

This is an extraordinary implosion of the sp by any standards. The board need to issue a statement of some kind - eg that they know of no reason for the volatility.

Extraordinary too is that last time I looked there were no shorts.

Apparently not. I wonder what’s driving this persistent selling. Not panic. I’m not normally paranoid. But a sense that someone who wants a takeover on the cheap is pushing the sp down.

If so, does any II hold a big enough percentage of the shares to force a dirty deal through?

I agree with Sundezena. Mr Market very often overreacts at first, whether up or down, but comes back into balance sonner or later.

The trusted person is certainly taking his/her time!

Yes, but there’s no excuse for rudeness. Quite gratuitous. I’ve long noticed that anonymity on the internet encourages people to use the sort of rude and dismissive language that they wouldn’t dream of using in person. The move to require people to drop pseudonyms is welcome and overdue, imo.

‘My friend thinks she may be pregnant’

Hoping is the right term. I have zero inside knowledge or informed insight. I hold Jim for the dividend and the potential IHT benefits - and because until the inquiry it had seemed a very well run company. Also, rising interest rates should boost profits.

Smacks of insider knowledge of the outcome of the inquiry. Expect an RNS soon, and a further jump in sp. If so, I’m glad as it’s one of my main holdings.

Mr Market is usually right in the longer term. But in the short term he can be seriously bonkers - as we are seeing right now. Steady the Buffs!

Agree. The week between Christmas and New Year is a sort of phony war. We should know around the middle of next week where the sp is headed. Up, I very much hope.
