which platform ?

no worries, good luck. I wouldn't be able to bet big enough to sleep through the night so I've kept out, regrettably.

every day a learning day though

amers, last time i'll mention this - take a look at rbd. Right up your street and the only share I've consistently held and increased since March.

some chunky buys and maybe the seller has now paused - can't get a price on even 1k - 5575 to sell though so something is afoot

shorts did me good, another technical bull sheet bounce - easy to trade.

smell the coffee, this isn't going north unless there is a significant news event to make it happen.

ramp as much as you like, brexit, US election, tech bubble - oh and covid

good luck if you think there will be a short term bounce..

A positive outcome on Brexit may see this jump 10-20% but the trend will remain firmly down until a vaccine or takeover or post fundraise

The Equity and Bond markets are pricing in bad things here, Equity traders like Odey get it wrong often enough but the bond markets are a little more accurate. Bear in mind they get first dibs if there is a problem and they don't like the prospects at the moment. It's a punt not an investment.

you'll be right on this one day maverick, yet to see it on the last half dozen or more ramps though..

i've sold most again and am short dax and ftse, lets see by the end of the day which were the better trades..?

no reason to buy metro at the moment, vaccine or a takeover is the only hope, and neither really imminent imo.

they will need to raise capital and then it will be a bun fight..

morning Amers, it must be nice in your world seeing only the good in people. My default position is the same at outset but I'm not quite so trusting - especially with people I've never met and where money is involved. You need to be able to look people in the eye in my experience.

Talking of truth you seem to be a bit bearish and only posting once in a blue moon - for somebody who is still heavily in and was never going to sell his shares ??!

i'll put the kettle on..

it only took a year and a few thousand posts though..

for some

we may not always agree especially if we have different positions, but honesty and integrity should be important - it's only money after all..

turning on some of his disciples - who'd have thought ?!

duplicity as an art form

Aesop/Charlatan wasn't far off the mark...

persi, c £41m market cap - is this too high or too low ?

Cali is not relevant in the big scheme of things, no-one needs to prove you wrong

I don't think they need to raise capital this side of the probable good news - which if it's as anticipated will make the share price go up (lots)

If many of us are wrong then £41m might be too high if the drill doesn't turn out as expected, we can procrastinate as much as we want but it's a straight risk and reward play on WN as I see it..

Agree, I don’t really understand the sector as well as I would like but I understand balance sheets and numbers - these not only look ok but better than I anticipated.

Nothing to see here, certainly no immediate need to raise funds, so now for some free hits at adding value to the bottom line.

don't get volatility mixed up with value, cyclical s are a screaming buy on a 12-18 month view again now - closed shorts and have been buying today (25% back in play) RBD drop mildly annoying as it was my only real hold until today. A further chance to average down though and I will again tomorrow.

Not everything marked down as a sell were sells - again...

Patience on the way down will be rewarded IMO..!

we can do a sweepstake to make it fun

I'll start - 484

Matlot - no average as he has no shares, and never has. He's a filing clerk at LSE and is paid to get people to trade on their platform.

Late night conference calls to Hong Kong - really ?? He's having a hot Ribena before bed and still lives with his parents...

or is everyone have a nice day today ?

big sale on cyclicals, easy money for those that were patient on the way down who can be patient on the way back up

volatility won't win out over value, still further to fall - (5500) I said a couple of months ago but 25% back in and shorts closed.

The benefits of staying out of the circle jerk and not green boxing the one or two that might be able to help...

anyone seen Aesop today ?????

matlot (Aesop) what is you opinion on the calculations surrounding the elementary Higgs Boson particle ?

it's supposedly produced by the quantum excitation of the Higgs field and has a mass of 125.18 +/-0.16 GeV/c squared ?!

my guess is that if you don't look it up your answer will carry as much credibility as the rest of the thousands of complete nonsense posts that you have littered this board with from 280 downwards

at what point do you feel shame and embarrassment and p155 off ??????

a slight positive that it went through, if the regulator had serious concerns they would have blocked it - agree

I suspect that the shift in strategy/direction of travel at this stage of the game was more of a deflection and a clutching at straws than a significant and cohesive manoeuvre to get out of the current mess.

the markets didn't view it as a game changer thats for sure, the share price continues to drift lower with the sector despite the shorts reducing. And the metro SP is down more than the sector since the large director purchase - which is a worry.

I'm just trying to provide balance, I've watched another month of matlot's fables which could have cost some on here more of their hard earned. There are a few holders including you Cud that I hope recoup some of their losses, I hope to recoup mine too.

GL..

zccax, time is a luxury they probably don't have.

senior director buying at 114, a shrewd move, a plan to instil confidence or an act of desperation ?

of course I could be wrong, so far I've mainly been wrong on this when I've been buying, not selling or staying out. Placing at 60p or takeover at £2 ish, thats my guess but I don't like the odds on the latter.

Agree but the real £££’s get lost by risk takers too. Surely the secret is to try and tip the odds in your favour and not against you. Not sure it’s here, certainly not yet and certainly not without something more tangible, be that positive or negative.

The upside on an asset strip is not to be made on a hostile takeover IMO (leases and running costs) The takeover story is based on synergies which I just don’t see.

Stay positive, there is certainly room for one or two more to try and turn it in to a circle again.

For me it’s still not investable though, so I’ll probably see you at 60 or 120 depending on who’s right ?!

several hedge funds around the world have ceased to exist, most have lost money this year - they're no different they can just play the game by different rules - that's all.

Odey has performed badly - fact. The concern for me here was that there were several, the city is awash with the old boys networks passing on information, I didn't think they could all be wrong, so far this belief has saved me money. I said months ago it would be a takeover or a placing/fundraise - place your bets. I didn't believe the takeover story, so it will be a placing or a fundraise - at best. You can listen to me or matlot or neither...
