More likely buyers emerging at this price. Despite the drop initial volumes were only 600k. Additional volume since points to probably someone topping up. Could be the market makers who banked a 50 - 55% drop. I think the big is at the end of the RNS where there is sufficient stock and liquidity mentioned to see them through. That plus the next Quarter is the Festive one. I've added some and will sit on them for 6 months to a year.

It's interesting is it not that Boots announce record Beauty results and L'Oreal also announce superb results. L'Oreal we stock a lot of. Two Directors also buy significant large amounts of stock, both at higher prices, one 25% higher and yet none of it gets reflected in the share price. Yet the smaller concern Revb' RNS is used for a 5% hit to the THG share price.

Not made much difference to the trading volume here and if anything its further slowed it down as most seem to be sitting tight off the two Director buys. 67p against a lowest declined bid of 170p.

I've added some also and will tuck them away. Had only about 600k traded when I looked so perhaps somebody else is now adding with another 3 Million added. It'll probably be Moulding or the Boohoo founder adding.

Surprised at the lateness of the hour in the update off REVB. Was due Thursday and given that Russia and Ukraine two of their markets seem to have only been at war since February. Might take a nibble over there and tuck it away as first shipped grain exports occurred yesterday, The Ukranians have just taken back 40 settlements around Kherson and it will be taken back and Vladimir Putin is not looking too healthy. That plus they seem to have the stock and cash to weather the storm.

I watched the last half hour on THG and they just wouldn't let it tick the other side of 70p. Psychological game playing but the two aces up the sleeve we have have been a £1M Chairmans share purchase and Matt Mouldings £821,000 share purchase. Both at higher prices.

What is it with this for every time they release an RNS of any description then the share price falls?

Ste2000. Its interesting that the share price remains under Mouldings £821K purchase price of just over 70p. But then across the back of that you also have Lord Charles Allens purchase of £1M at 86.27p and its 20% under them. Over at ASOS they were quite happy to add 20% to the share price with only a total of £147k Director buys. Disclosed short positions here are too small in my opinion to be meaningful. More likely being used as a smokescreen to be buying in "long".

If REVB comes up trumps then I'll be tempted to lump a swathe of money in here and then just let it ride. I had this off the share price graphs at 114p prior to the bids of which there were 3 and one of which was at 170p. Incredible it is where it is really.

Might provide a marker given that REVB tied up with Boots and Walgreens earlier this year.

You don't need decent volume for a share to go up, especially if it has been walked down by market makers. You normally find they creep back up on very little volume and normally on little or obscure news. Some move 30 or 40 points in the blink of an eye on good news. That then lets you work out who pocketed most of the volume.

I personally think that the market on both THG and on REVB having now researched the latter a bit more, are miscalcuting on the Beauty side. L'Oreal, Boots numbers have outperformed and we have just had the Driest July on record and this July and August will see many people now taking their first proper holiday in 3 years. Tan accelerators, suncreams, aftersun, moisturisers, fake tans etc all have to be bought. I can account for 4 that will be doing exactly that in about a months time.

I missed the Boots link and do think that maybe Matt Moulding £821k share purchase last week is maybe a bit better informed than the market is giving it credit for.

Didn't know that AnacottSteel1. Probably explains why THG stocks a lot of their products.

Having also signed up with Boots and with Walgreens recently they should hopefully provide a further pointer following on from L'Oreal and Boots Beauty results.

Might be worth tracking the results on REVB which are out this Thursday re THG Beauty. THG's Lookfantastic stock several of their products under various categories and REVB has also put its Makeup Revolution products into Boots and some other high profile stores over the last 3 to 6 months.

Just for a moment there when I saw the RNS on my emails I thought, here we go, next bid.

I share your sentiment steve. Its almost like somebody is paying for a 2.30p.m. reversal of current market trends.

Nasdaq must now be up over 13% since 16th June.

Fortunately the others I chose by literally throwing darts at the business section on a dartboard have all gone up handsomely.

Happy to wait for the 15th September which was always the plan and might switch a few more funds across. Never seen a share giving out so many positive vibes yet being made to stand still in positive markets.

I suppose the question has to be are they really creating or gaining any shares for their enterprise?

Looks like our buy order hasn't been filled just yet.

Nasdaq over 100 points to the good and the MM's still not missing a trick to try and drop the price at any cut and tuirn to try and gain some more stock.

Back under Matt Mouldings £821K purchase and 25% under Charles Allens £1Million purchase.

Todd you're really not tuned into this industry. Fuel prices get hedged.

Try the kindergarden if you want to try scaremongering. This is an adults only bulletin board.

We are just starting to see the normal city delayed reaction to a wealth of news which is saying the share price is too low.

These delays are deliberate and the Matt Harding £821,000 share purchase and distribution to frinds and family should have been enough to set this back on an upward spiral. The City knows that. But it wants them cheaper.

Over 13 million were traded on that day with price deliberately dropped and countless further millions in the following days. PI's getting frustrated. Institutions buying. Yesterday there was a really nice buy accomodated and a thread on it yesterday of 768K at 68.90p.

For some strange reason they seem to be happy to mop up all and every share going today, slowly teasing it through the likes of 70p to tease out all the limit orders. Fully expect those selling today will be looking back at the end of next week wishing they had waited. Don't be surprised if it now rebounds all the way back up to Charles Allens 86.27p £1 Million purchase and to the 104p that it closed at on the 15th June. That I fully expect to be reached before or just after 15th September update.

86.27p is where Lord Allen bought his £1 Million pounds worth

There is just too much contradictory evidence AnacottSteel and PI's are not being hoodwinked out their shares any more.
Those two Director buys are massive, Countless signs the Beauty sector is rebounding well, Whey prices down, 3 Broker notes with valuations from the bullish at £2.20 to even the most bearish still at £1.00...

I think everybody is now intent on waiting for the 15th September and the big correction back up.
