PS if anyone knows a cheaper way of finding out all positions please let me know..appreciated!

InnerH the total number of shorts is usually around double that reported on public websites as those under 0.5% total about the same as those over 0.5% reported (very rough rule of thumb)

You need a subscription to a pro service like https://www.infrontfinance.com/ to see them all

Yes it shows she's got the guts to put it to bed. Here's hoping she's happy with the Lupkin and Unaoil convictions, seeing direct PFC convictions a step too far and moves on.

If that happens we will double in price very quickly...IF..BUT PFC must be very close to the front of the queue..i.e charge or dismiss

The Serious Fraud Office has ended major investigations into Rolls-Royce and GlaxoSmithKline. Lisa Osofsky, new director of the SFO, said: "After an extensive and careful examination I have concluded that there is either insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction or it is not in the public interest to bring a prosecution in these cases."

and its not the first time its done it!

All forecast estimates Ive seen for the results show the best NET profit in 5 years BUT at the moment they are just estimates but more often than not they are pretty close (i.e estimated net profit in all instances in over $300m BEST since 2013 is just over $100m)

I think many shorts will be holding hoping for the exdiv drop tomorrow and potentially on

Its impossible to call. Ive seen this go up post div and collapse post div over the years so who knows..its way oversold that I do know

Very interesting day now tomorrow

Oil is going loco

I fink the worm has just turned ;)

Results on the 28th with all estimates showing a good set is coming

I think we are currently sat in the 380-400 channel waiting to break out

Yes mate to participate you need DMA (direct market access). I have this. Few brokers provide it and you need to meet the criteria. IDealing is very good for this IMHO

To VIEW only you need a level 2 provider. Many about of varying quality. I used to use it here on LSE but it was very unstable although when it worked I really liked the interface. Sharepad (Sharescope) do it and https://uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=quot or http://www.digitallook.com/cgi-bin/digital/pagewiz.cgi?cms=3&page=level_2_landing_page

A UT is the result of an auction. There are 3 a day. Opening auction 0750-8..midday auction at 12 then auction close 430 -435..so 3 UT's a day. A gap occurs between auction close UT and auction open UT

The opening price is the crossing price, UT, from the pre market auction. Nothing else has impact

The large trades you see reported will have been worked throughout the day by the mm's and dont need reporting until the transaction is complete (worked trades and WPA's can be reported up to 48 hrs after)

Have a look on https://www.sharelockholmes.com/...accounts are taken direct from companies house filing. You submit fraudulent accounts their and you are eating porridge (well you should be but who knows in the UK these days)

This has caught me out before going up ex div after a large payout

Looking at the trades today I'd say shorts are reducing or someone is clearing the way for a big buy

Income is not weakening? Revenue is up to $720m from $437 with an opertaing margin of 70% and a FCF cash pile of $315m! with a 5.37 dividend cover!

The problem is trusting the numbers..

HSBC is not a PFC house broker! They are a "make it up as you go along to keep me in a job" broker

Nocky in some cases I agree, but the house brokers have inside information and news far before anyone else

In this case however it does feel HSBC have downgraded based purely on worse case speculation. They are really saying hold at this value because we dont know whats going to happen. They are not saying sell, which contradicts their ridiculous forecast of $2.5bn which if they felt was accurate would clearly be a sell. Lets not forget HSBC missed there targets yesterday and was bottom of the index, not a happy day to put out ratings

Dont forget this goes exDiv tomorrow at close

Not sure about that Arnold as Deutsche bank have a large holding yet rate?

BIGB I didnt think we were arguing! We're discussing opposing opinions like gentlemen..its all good!

We will see how this saga plays out (we both agree the sooner the better I think)
