BobC - at least that's a consistent characteristic.
Wonder if we might just be seeing the bottom, but a) with such a small spread it's difficult to trust the buy/sell data and b) well, it never fails to disappoint
So we seem to have a good uptrend since early Dec 17. I think I might buy in again today. 100% guarantee the uptrend is therefore about to come to a dramatic end...
Hope so. I kind of re-bought these against my better judgement (idiot or what?). Can't see what will drive the business but then NT seems to believe in them and has a better track record than me (or any 'real' person). However, it'll be interesting to see in his next blog if he bought more or cleverly sold before the drop. My ability to buy stuff that suffer a catastrophic reversal defies probability so it must all be my fault.
The steady downtrend looks bad. Should have guessed that something like a placing would happen - and any hiccups will then result in a further fund raise and so on...
It seems to me that the sp rises around payment date - a market conspiracy to ensure we pay top £ for the reinvested shares. It then falls back. So it's best to to switch auto reinvest off and buy them on a down day mid-term i.e. between divi dates. All IMHO of course.
Looks to me like the sp fell around the final div payment date which is to be expected but it's now bending up again. Can't really see any drama here. Contracts are fewer than a few years back but then the sp is proportionally lower.
