Another short squeeze and its fair to think those were actually chunky buys too....I know some questioned it

There is definitely something afoot, because last nights rns of confirmation of total voting rights is normally in preparation of a takeout......this morning's rns takes out the Chairman, so leaving a clear path for integration. They have been saying multiple options - well the bond sale was pulled in my view. All the pieces of the jigsaw falling in place. Big gap upwards as the market must know and took advantage yesterday to shake a few more out.

Valuation £7-9 min

Some are going a little extra quoting figures. The trend in my view is upwards - few bumps along the way! Results in a little under 4 weeks. US buyers and equity buyers looking and Tomane taking a stake in my view.

Notification of total number of shares - lol almost seems to be a hint to confirm holdings.

Great buying opportunity late today - will see how tomorrow goes. There were a number of larger buys filled.

Gap fill from Friday......see it move up. MMs have just filled some orders

I hope some have not been knocked off this due to the negative comments. New investors take a read of the posts and their post history. I think a number were short and the move late friday and early yesterday caught them off guard. Coupled with the media coverage over the weekend I am very postive here.

The ratings is a non issue if what you are saying is as a business the deposits are increasing.

This is an opportunity - it just depends if you believe as me and a number of Billionaire investors probably do.

These guys buying and then you can plan a squeeze

Nice fill - looking to see if we can work through 2.20

Next leg up - I don't think some can read something positive

So the figures will have got better - wait 4 weeks and see where we are at

Selective reading missing the confirmation that capital ratio has increased and this puts us in a stronger position. Also missing the fact we have billionaire US investors on board and supportive of Vernon Hill - equates a positive re-rate

As I have previously stated - Nobody on this board mentioned Takeover, it was published in the FT and few other media outlets and this was posted on the forums. There was not any reaction in the SP until we got that holdings RNS yesterday. It told us that over 3% of the companies shares have been bought up by a US fund. Adding to the other 5%+ the previous week.

Whilst some have been loaning stock out to short sellers and PI's perhaps panicking and selling these funds have been taking the stock out of circulation. Now the funds that loaned out the stock don't care they pick up a loan fee, but the short sellers have to buy the stock back. Now with more off the market place they pay a premium. Market Makers are aware of this and any stock they hold they will apply a premium. Economics 101 - I did put up a post on Friday about what Porsche did for the VW share price back in 2008. The US billionaires behind Metro Bank may have had a word with some of their friends stateside - the share price coupled with the favourable exchange rates has lead to our shares looking really attractive. With all that in play you have a recipe for the sp to now overshoot where we were last Monday morning, which was around £3.09.

A number of investors, me included, emailed Investor Relations last week and the response received was re-assuring, but measured. It lead me to believe that a further update would be presented, but perhaps next week we will get a few more Holdings RNS' and then we'll see where the SP goes.

4 weeks from now and we'll get the scheduled corporate update and provided cash inflows have continued to increase and outflows negated then the share price could go a hell of a lot higher - not putting a number on it. At this point you can go back to the market with a little more clarity, and sell bonds from a position of strength and perhaps have a situation where they are oversubscribed!

Now I am sure there will be bumps along the way (LTH's had a car crash on Wed and Thurs this week), but the long term holders here are the ones that will reap the rewards, not the ones saying it's going up 10p and then when they sell they then say it's going down 20p - well you know what I mean and who I'm referring to.

Next week could well be a car crash for those short on the stock - it's Karma, buts rest assured those Market Makers will always make money along the way.

Long and Strong!

Should say further info - hate typos!

In addition appears that the deposits have been increasing so leading upto the next set of results we should really power ahead from here. Lots in the mix - activist investors, friends from the US, doing the basics better than its peers and building the deposit book, winning back the confidence of SME clients.

Do like the paragraph that has been repeated about multiple funding options - billionaires have deep pockets just look at who’s currently invested!

This should continue and expect fury info on which US funds have been adding.

Guys i think many were trying to guess numbers, but we have a blue finish, bullish move carries on and expect the same again tomorrow.

Seen a few posters turn up that have been members for no time with hardly any posting history - best to look at what they say before you listen to their “advice”

There will be news flow, although I think a further holdings RNS to drop. Just taking out the traders now and we should see a further leg up. 70 mins to go

Positioning now.

So now would be the time to load up again - Yanks will be piling in again I feel. Look aout for another RNS

Who bottled it and was shaken out? I guess depending on when you sold you may have been able to get back in again........next raft of buys to come through and I would not rule out another TR1 holdings announcement this afternoon. Expect if funds buying at £2.80, £2.60, £2.40 they would have been mopping up at the end of last week.

goldy7 I mentioned the VW squeeze from 2008 - appears that we are going to defo get one here, but patience is key. If everyone sticks a £8 limit on their stocks lets see where the mms takes this over the course of the week.
