I do both. BAYE is a shelter from tax, and has the flexibility to do as I please with it in terms of contributions, sale of shares etc. Main amount goes into multiple SAYE with the aim of one maturing per year.

I've driven my average to sub 2p this morning.

Hopefully so. Just turned a tidy profit in GEX today, that was quiet for months.

If you're looking for an exit in the near future, it usually rises in the run-up to FY results, albeit it that is some weeks away yet.

Market share is definitely going in the direction of tsco, Morrisons/Asda are in trouble imo. Investment pulled out of stores to service debt and it's starting to show, which begins a self-reinforcing cycle of decline.

I've upped my monthly baye in response to the drop.. I lowered it as it went to 450+ as felt like it might plateau there, but there's value in this now.

Devon - it's crossed my mind, and I'd expect it to be at a substantial premium from current mcap. Naturally, provided the RTO has all gone through.

Got to say, the current situation with the US is a little concerning. But then also their administration seems to have the attention span of a goldfish so it may well quickly move onto something else to rattle the sabre over.

Finton - I'm one I them. Not selling just yet, the fun is about to begin with this one.

As others have said, depends on risk appetite, I'd expect this to climb again ahead of FY results, probably fall back a bit on results day as it usually does but then what happens after that depends what they announce in terms of further buybacks and/or any dividend increase with the increased SP and earnings.

One to watch in the immediate term is they've nearly spent up on buybacks for this financial year which will reduce buying pressure, that being said the volume they're buying day to day has graduallly diminished in the last month or so, presumably to avoid a shock to volume going from buying millions a day to zero all of a sudden.

I notice that certain voices have gone extremely quiet over the last 24hr or so as well

A very valid point re the discounters.

Now 28.7%, which going off memory is the best figure in many years, albeit there is still some way to go before breaking records. Sure it breached 30% in the Terry Leahy days.

Couple of trades finally going through.

It doesn't account for Aquis traded shares, only main market and AIM.

Like the Rost well itself, it looks to be building up and ready to start flowing with news and SP increases.

So far only showing up as the bid's ticked up, but I'll take it.

Spread doesn't look as daunting now, not that it ever reflected the actual likely buy-sell prices.

I can trade it, there would be an RNS indicating a suspension anyway

Makes me wonder if we've still someone selling in the background. That being said it doesn't make it hugely enticing to buyers, and so generate the volume to clear the seller.

Can't get much better than that.. increased flows and now flowing without assistance, with plans in place to secure backing for further wells.
