Pity, as really decent close was on for today .... yanks at it again .... Nasdaq probably do a 'Rishi' after we close just to rub salt in.

Close above 553p would make new recent high going into w/e.

I posted this the other week after AA withdrew from the approach ;

"Are JPM going for the 5% I wonder ..... or have they sensitive ears ... whispers over the pond ! So lets see what JPM do on next TR-1, if over 5%, that will raise a few eyebrows..."

We don't need to wonder anymore ..... now >5%, up from 4.77%. Don't forget, JPM also continued to add during KIST offer period too.

PS My eyebrows are raised !!!

Not sure what the issue is .... Soc Gen position ;

Longs 1.05%
Shorts 0.01%

They still have 7.4m (~£40m) shares in longs.

Well after a rip roaring start by the young pretender with several 6's on opening over, appears he's run out of steam and the old hand has box fitted, in extra comfort mode, now out to bat. Looking for a single here and there maybe a four, Steady Eddie building the score making a solid base. Knowing and waiting winning boundary shot is within reach.

All I can say is SQZ must be testing the patience of large institutional investors too atm after the debacle of recent weeks. One REALLY hopes all will come out in the wash very, very soon and they don't mix colours with their cricketing whites. At the moment it feels like we are stuck on spin cycle !

“disappointed” if the transaction went ahead' ....

Not 'surprised' but sounds like a significant shareholder who is almost resigned to the fact.

Lending, they need to fix LSE / FTSE from being such an easy and soft target, nothing to do with companies that list, it goes deeper than that ... FTSE is more aligned to AIM than most think.

KIST knocking the ball out of the ground for an easy 6 & ATH this morning whilst SQZ are still in the pavilion fitting their box.

Strange old world the world of investing.

Winstanley, to early to have fun, we need a clear BB for real discussion not mindless games fwiw..... games can begin once / if first real offer comes in.

"what's going on here?..."

Market games imo. Appears to me as if news is expected to break over the w/e one way or another. For me the early drop from the bell signals larger players want to accumulate, otherwise they would have moved her up , then down into the close, we shall see as a strong close will be telling.

aimo & dyor

For sure the story will run at the w/e too, that will bring in new investors too ready for Monday's opening.

No offence, I would rather not clog the board with meaningless rubbish .... we need informed discussion not just random numbers posted by numerous wan-a-be Warren Buffett's

To-date, these are % notification 8.3 RNS's - total declared so far : ~18% ( COB 18/08/22)

getafgrip,

Thanks for that, sums up our position well as it stands, you stated "it cannot then make a renewed bid for Dark for a period of at least 6-months..." That is so, however, should another party also make an approach within that 6 month period then TB are free to do so once more should they feel the need.

aimo & dyor

Yes, I noticed that too .... ;-)

"cost of living means no one goes on holiday in 2023 !!.."

Be cheaper to go to SE Asia for the winter than pay UK Energy bills.

Volume has fallen due to :

PI's being cautious with 570p being mentioned.
BoT's turned down / off due to 8.5's and ability to make fast buck.
Traders unwilling to risk being out / waiting for fall !!
No new news to add to last Dark RNS
Period of consolidation

PS Low volume will not stop the SP from rising per se

aimo & dyor

That didn't take long ... :-)

Almost at top of recent channel and almost at ATH ... two in sync so to break and hold current channel and make new ath does this mean our Founding Fathers managed the impossible ! .....

Certainly out of the blocks today ahead of our friend KIST.

AIMO & DYOR
