Charles, I'm sorry if presenting an alternative view to your own is something you just can't hack, I can assure you that the only people that will perceive an alternative view as a threat or as deliberately spreading FUD are people here that have based there investment purely on the opinion of others on these BB's and are most likely seriously overweight having succumb to greed. The type of person that will post all day asking the advice of others. On that note is Claire your mommy? You should be due another tea leaf reading by now?

Steviewonder - incidentally, as you appear to be a DARK supporter, where do you get the floor of 520 from?

The major shareholders? You mean the ones that are selling? Yes, I guess they must know what's going on. Let's see what next week brings, have a good weekend all.

Agreed, the issue here being that the risk reward ratio based on current knowledge of the company had become very much misaligned, it will eventually find an equilibrium. The large holders and directors in the know that are selling suggests to me that they do not feel that state of equilibrium to be above this level. That's just my take.

While I respect the opposing view of others on here these director sells should be telling you something. My view is these small rallies will continue for as long as possible to suck as many PI's in as possible while sentiment weakens and SP continues to decline until ultimately DARK will fall from FTSE100 toward a fairer value nearer it's IPO until DARK matures and can produce consistent improving numbers. You don't have to agree. Regards

Is that the big push up over? The legs are getting tired, appears that investors are eventually becoming tired of the games being played here. Looks like DARK is becoming a candidate for the shortest inclusion ever in the FTSE100?

Well, there seems to be a few on here eager to believe their own bu*****t but the reality is that those in the know would not be making large sells if they thought for one minute that the SP would be going up from here anytime soon...period.

Well I did ask advice on where the share price may go given the materialisation of other than positive news. Took the plunge this morning, placed three buy orders at 580, 581 and 583, all got filled at 573 which was a surprise. Let's hope no more bad news or negative press coverage from here for some time. Cheers, from one of the ants.

So you don't feel that's a fair question Jayne? I'd suggest that judging from the recent share price movement the market doesn't require any assistance from me to spread FUD, most respected media channels and Peel Hunt are doing just fine without any input from me. But I do understand why you are being so defensive. Thanks.

I'm tempted by the pull back to take a small stake but as the drop appears to have been initiated purely by doubt and change of sentiment where might this go with another lower revised broker rating or more negative press which could land at anytime? To be fair I feel it's more likely there could be more negative rather than positive news and sentiment in the short term. Anyone else feel like we are just waiting for another bomb to drop here or is it just me?

PS the negative media I referred to was the simply wall street article of 5hrs ago.

Thanks for the pep talk Mark. My balls have been aching and increasing in size since buying in here March last year at circa 520 and I've regularly told myself to just keep hanging on as you suggest. There simply appears to be many more options out there with far less of a debt issue with much better sentiment driving them in the opposite direction to MCRO. I shall of course continue to watch with interest and hopefully not regret.

My own thoughts are that with confidence and sentiment in MCRO already at an all time low coupled with forecasts of increasing loan rates and topped off with negative reviews in the media, this is likely to head only one way, and that's not up. My resolve here has broken and I'm ready to accept the crystallisation of paper losses. Good luck to all that remain.

I hope so, could do with putting an end to what has been almost constant mystery for share shareholders for what seems an awfully long time.

This share certainly can't be called dull. What are the thoughts on target before next pull back initiated?

Been heavily in this share since early last year, got in circa 520, having done the due diligence figured it could rebound to 6-8 pounds easily and 10-12 pounds likely yet here we are. Genuinely didn't expect to be down here again. If it wasn't for the recurring 3B plus revenue you'd think it was pricing for collapse. This one stopped making any sense to me a while ago. At this level again do we top up or sell up? I'm no longer sure.

Plenty of chatter about SP but no discussion of why they are prepared to sell their holdings in such volume at these "cheap" prices ?

It is obvious here that there are some forces in play attempting quite aggressively to reverse the current downward trend but perhaps their game is up?

Is 780p - 800p more likely today? It's teetering on a knife edge

Anyone under any illusion about what can happen when a SP gets way ahead of itself
relative to earnings and fundamentals please let AWE be a reminder. DARK is a similar disaster waiting to happen, be warned.
