Lol @ Ste. Almost every day this week you've been banging the drum about shorts adding to their position. Whenever I've asked for evidence, you've gone AWOL.

The only thing that has been reported this week is that MW has reduced their short by a small margin. The net change in overall declared short positions is negligible.

Your paymasters clearly have your b@lls in a vice grip, but hey, no-one forced you to do this.

Mate - I couldn't help it. Whilst I'm sure that people will tell me that I shouldn't stoop to their level, sometimes it's just gotta be done!

More like the skidmark won't leave your shorts.

The same thing has been said all week.

It's clearly trading a thin range Einstein.

Looks like Ste has temporarily stopped posting on his Ste2k account (probably due being wrong so often) and decided to log in as GTC.

You're not fooling anyone I'm afraid

What a surprise. The Ste Crew were wrong. Again.

Solid day given the circumstances

I don't disagree Crafty, what I will say however is that MM has been crying wolf for YEARS now.

You would think that he's sitting on top of the world given the history of his LinkedIn posts (the pondscum video, the spat with a hedge fund, the constant moans about the LSE being rubbish), but yet the SP performance is the complete opposite. He constantly throws stones (which is a complete contradiction of his public mantra of "dont throw stones, collect them an build an empire) and people would be forgiven for thinking he's a narcissistic fool. Even this year, he had the nerve to post that Iain Mac would be spending EVEN MORE time with THG (or something to that effect) despite shareholders eventually getting their way and removing him. He's keeps throwing up middle fingers at everyone like a petulant child.

The writing has been on the wall for years now and I suspect that some of the top brass at THG know this too. However, they have literally been neutered when it comes to effecting any change - it's his way or the highway. I'm sure that Allen would have have preferred that MM keep his LinkedIn posts to a minimum (especially where he disparages the LSE) as otherwise, how the hell is supposed to forge better relationships with them? But it appears that he doesnt have the clout (or doesnt want to have the clout) to effect REAL change.

AGM will be interesting, but I suspect that all of the Kelso and other shareholder views will be regarded as "flim-flam" and batted away.

@Crafty - you're right, we don't know whether MM has been working on unlocking shareholder value whilst we speak. However, whilst past is not necessarily a measure of the future, it's highly doubtful that he's doing anything of the sort. HIs last LinkedIn post on Klopp didn't sound like a man under pressure. It sounded like a man who still believes in his own hype and has nothing better to do than post on LinkedIn

Had to laugh at your post skfrn, its ridiculous that MM sees/compares himself to these guys.

On a side note, the price is holding up reasonably well today given that the inflation drop undershot expectations. As far as I'm concerned, the longer we stay in this range (and don't randomly drop to the 60s) the better.

Hmm.

Woof, Bark, Grrrr. Is that the language you understand Ste?

@twAt2000

- "74p gone", Just because it has fallen below 74p, it doesn't immediately become a point of resistance.

- "After the pump always comes the dump." Where exactly was the pump in the last few days?

- "Back to 60s." More nonsense

- "City Spy Lies." Do really base your investment decisions off a random twitter poster? If so, what a child you are.

We all know that it is highly unlikely PC. But with MM, you can never be too sure.....

Hung on to 74.10 as per today's UT.

So:

- up from Friday's close of 74.0 and

- up from yesterday's close of 73.65.

I wouldn't normally comment on such negligible movements, but given the hysteria that Ste has started displaying again, I think it's important to show some FACTS as opposed to his opinion

The Qube increase was last week Ste. You are merely speculating that Qube are adding to their short, you have no evidence to back it up with.

The volumes (within the last 2 hours) that you have provided are TINY in the grand scheme of things.

Let's see a few red days in a row before you starting banging on about a downtrend. For now, we are still up on the day.

Here we go again Ste. "Shorts increasing".

Like I asked yesterday, do you actually have any evidence of this or are you just making it up to suit your narrative?

Agree SB. The minute they began "trading" their position, it was obvious that they would not be sticking around for the long term. A proper "activist" investor tries to build a stake in order to influence the decision making of a company, they don't trade their position. Of course, if they ended up doing so (and played a decent part in helping unlock the inherent value) I would be the first to put my hands up.

The whole point of the chairman was to devise and execute a strategy that would unlock shareholder value and establish meaningful relationships with the City. MM still goes off on his unhinged rants and shareholder value is still very much suppressed. He's failed miserably to put it mildly, whilst collecting a considerable salary

Good news. I've been a bit irked by Kelso being so quiet in recent times and the fact that they never ask questions at the analyst meetings. Whilst this isn't a grenade being thrown, it's something for MM and that fool Allen to think about

Mine will be too. Whilst I'm pleased that the price is staging a slow recovery, this doesn't take away from the absolute sh!show the BOD have presided over

"Shorts increasing again"

Care to provide any evidence for that Ste, especially if it's a material increase? Or are you just spouting drivel again?
