Spreadex now over 5%
Who's next to increase their stake?
How hopeless is this stock? Another day where the shares ended down after a bright start. Very disappointing despite all the various good news stories out there which you would have expected to have easily boosted the shares to a much higher level. How can this share still be trading below 100p?
Just ridiculous, but I have to say: I am getting used to it.
Just look at the spread! Looks like the marketmakers are hedging their bets here!
One day we will be back over £1!
Patience as ever, is required.
Just waiting now for the tell tale big buys to start rolling in ahead of the announcement. It's very hard to keep these things under wraps..........
NigeCo, I know you are a big supporter of SFOR so, believe me, you have my sympathies. However, I can seriously see these dropping to around the 41p - 43p level before sanity kicks in. I guess there's a lot of folk out there clearly holding back on buying back in at the moment. On the other hand, as a long term position, it's pretty clearly near all time lows at the moment so any time around now is probably a good time to pile in / average down.
My own analysis suggests we have a little further to wait whilst the price does trade even lower, so I will be waiting a bit longer before getting in again. It's just remarkable how cyclical the trading of this and many shares is over longer periods and how these shares go up to a certain level before revisiting a former low, then back up again.
Timing is everything, DYOR.
It is looking increasingly likely to me that this will soon be decisively broken. Attempts to rally up to 55p+ have proved to be futile. In the meantime, there are just walls of sellers each day.
This is not a bad company, but the way the market is now valuing it infers it has problems. I don't agree with that assessment, it looks like a bargain to me, but it does look like it will soon be sub 50p.
Accordingly, cheap as it now is, I will be waiting for it to drop further.
The company is not currently providing a positive news flow, and whilst this persists, the share price will be negative as well. It does seem to have no supporters at the moment.
Equally there is the unresolved succession issue.
Something needs to give here, currently it looks like that will be the share price.
As I say, that Director buy should have been reported this morning at 7am - it would then have helped buoy the shares a bit. Instead, everyone appears to have forgotten about it.
You really have got to wonder what planet the NUMIS analysts are on. 50p sell recommendation? Are they having a laugh? Do they not read the news updates and talk to connected industry insiders?
We don't even have a postal strike this year!
Clearly another wave of redundancies is required in the fund management / investment banking business.
I would say they are completely out on a limb on this - if anything, the shares should be motoring further upwards soon, and I expect the 80p resistance level to be broken early in December.
Here we go again but why do they report these buys at the end of the day? They would have a bigger impact if made at 7am?
Will today's RNS have as much impact on Monday morning? It's a long time to wait........
Still, it is good to see someone other than Richard Griffiths buying in.
Which Directors will be buying next week?
Can only assume there must be some internal news to make them all buy in this week.
Let's hope we go above 70p soon.
Regrettably, I thoroughly expect CRTA to only be trading for a limited time longer before it gets taken over - probably next year some time. It's in such a fast moving innovative area of things that it is really going to capture a predator's eye.
It reminds me of Psion or Blue Prism.
Once the now respected management team start pulling off various bigger contract wins, the company's days are limited. It's a double edged sword then in this respect, we all want to hear about these wins, and they will push up the share price; but predators will look on, do their calculations, and realise this is too good to be true.
In answer to an earlier poster on here, the takeout bid price then is going to have to be multiples of the current price level for either me or, I suspect, the list of main shareholders.
I see we have just gone through the 60p resistance level. Onwards and upwards!
I am really beginning to suspect that Richard Griffiths is building up his stake prior to making a formal bid. He's now at 13.9% - a decent big stake. I think he's definitely going to continue building that stake further in the next few days and weeks ahead.
Something very positive would be indicating to be going on at CRTA given all these recent purchases, and I suspect both Mr Griffiths and Mr Kelly are much better advised than us about how things are going and developing at CRTA.
The only mystery really is why the price is not much higher at the moment, but I suppose this will now happen as it dawns on everyone else that this is an outstanding bargain.
As ever, patience is required........
Who was today's big buyer?
Fascinating how the 1.321m trade is reported on here as being a sale.
This sums up the inflexible way the trades are reported on these websites.
My broker confirms this was a purchase so presumably we will get yet another RNS shortly......who will it be this time?
It's a late trade advice but someone's just bought another 1.321m shares.
What is going on?
Richard Griffiths now owns 12.85%
At least he knows a bargain when he sees one.
The marketmakers need to revalue their prices here, upwards
And now we find that Spreadex have increased their stake as well!
This is looking more and more positive by the day..........
This is going to bolt upwards!
Another great day coming up
I'm in it, don't worry about that my old son!
Given this resulted in problems for THG last year, let us hope the lack of a strike this year leads to a substantial revaluation in the shares. Lack of a strike must add at least 40p onto the share price given last year's problems. I'd say this share then is probably headed to the £1+ level in the next few weeks.
We can all hope............
