Landsdowne bought 4,285,714 new shares of the 40 million new issued on 25th March (10.7%) @ a price of 35p which cost them approx £1.5 million. Then sold in tranches over the following weeks at probably around an average of 55p per share. A cool profit of upwards of £1million. Not bad work if you can get it. It also shows that companies always give their major holders first call.

itshenderz...........I'll give you a recommendation for your ramping. If true I'll buy you a bottle of Champagne in a pub of your choice before May is out !

Just a word of caution about the 9 trading days to June heading. There are 30 days in June. No specific date was given by the company.

correction bah humbug

My buy after 4pm today is shown in the category 'don't know' like a lot more posted in the same time frame.
A bathroom window is not as opaque as LSE.

I agree 1msn....two highly experienced people with a good grounding in what is needed

In the pocket of the Chinese?

Re distressed sellers......Yes, it is true that whether the companies name ends has an e on the end of it (Landsworth/e) or not both have had a very poor couple of years.

afrc.....If you look at the thruvision web site, then investors and the progressive research note dated 2nd April. On the left is key data, under which Finals news is expected June 2020 (next month).

I am looking at 'dipping my toes' into this company. But before I do I will need to do furtherresearch.
Regarding H.L I personally would not put too much notice of their recent disposals. Not many months ago they got badly burnt due to their association with the Neil Woodford debacle. Perhaps the new philosphywith them is to rein back on their exposure in AIM companies who we all know have a more uncertainr future. Whether they keep on reducing below the TR1 threshold will be intersting to see, as perhap would a new scenario where a new or existing major player makes a move. Another major II selling now would obviously not be a good sign. Interesting times ahead in the short term.

afrc....I agree with some of what you said, but will differ on the fact that now with the Virus we are in a different 'ball game' and not only Supermarkets will be looking at the social distancing issue. Also bear in mind nearly all of the business is owned by the II's. They are not selling, and what is more important we know that they are being updated on a regular basis, whereas we few P I's just receive the scraps Thru put out. To me it is a case that Tom Black would like to keep them all for his II holder friends. I'm just hoping for a takeover bid in the medium term. Remember he (Tom Black) has form in the past for this, selling a previous company to British Aerospace for over £500m.
G.L to all

Looking forward to F/Y results being announced next month. This is one business that will actually gain traction in this environment due to its patented terrahertz social distancing scanning technology. I see this next 12-18 months being transformative regarding gaining new clients who operate in many varying industries.

I feel sure the directors will hope that everyone invested in RBD are as understanding and considerate as you.
With a couple of grand a year coming my way irrespective of any delays I would be also.

The current prevailing opinion among industry professionals, international organizations, and analysts is that it could be more than a year before oil demand returns to 2019 levels.
There are early encouraging signs that demand is already edging up from the bottom that it hit a couple of weeks ago. Yet, the industry may have to wait until the end of 2021 to see global oil demand back up to 100 million barrels per day (bpd).

A touch of reality is sometimes needed !
What's worse, some analysts say demand may never return to those levels.

Always liked battenberg as well. Bit sweet for some but good for an enery boost.

Yes Uggy, but in which direction and at what pace? Absolute masters at subterfuge are our heavenly twins.

Funny that Barking, I was going to copy and paste the self same sentence earlier but desisted as I knew I would get my 'head blown off'by the rampers.

Good spot Leoboy. For medium to large businesses this is a 'no brainer'. The capital cost of the equipment will most likely have a payback period of months, far less than the usual 2 years that most companies look for before purchasing. Have been with Thru for many years now (since split from Digital Barriers). Patience is still key here. 95% + of shares are still owned by II's. The downside of that is we small PI's are kept in the dark on many issues.

O2B@C.......So nothing new then?

Now how did that song begin again Chris ?
Wait, I remember now !
