Did the same Robbo and will jump back in when there is value

Asked Gemini about WPP shorts :

"As of early April 2026, the short interest in WPP PLC has seen significant activity following a challenging period for the company’s share price and a major strategic overhaul.

Current Short Interest Overview : According to the latest filings and market data as of April 8, 2026:Short Percent of Float: Approximately 1.37% to 1.4%.Total Shares Sold Short: Roughly 2.92 million shares (for the NYSE-listed ADRs).Days to Cover: 4.5 days, based on average trading volumes.

Recent Trend: Short interest actually decreased by nearly 20% in the most recent reporting period (mid-March to early April 2026), suggesting some short sellers are taking profits or closing positions following the stock's steep decline.

Note on BlackRock: A recent filing shows BlackRock reduced its total voting rights to 6.88%. Their "short" position of 1.97% is composed of financial instruments like CFDs and securities lending, which are often used for hedging rather than pure directional short betting"

"A share that repeatedly suspends trading for 5-minute intervals is most likely triggering single-stock circuit breakers, commonly known as Limit Up-Limit Down (LULD) pauses. These are automatic, regulatory mechanisms designed to prevent panic-driven price drops or chaotic rallies."

Don't see much chaotic rallying happening right now ... so am sitting tight whilst this knife falls further

Sold the last of my IAG holding ... its been emotional

Wouldn't be surprised by a further increase in SP as our US friends digest the news - they are seeing value on this side of the pond.

Not a huge dividend payout ... but happy to be getting it. Any idea when it will be paid?

Whilst the bickering continues on this site - others are picking up another possible reason for the drop : https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/iag-downgraded-to-neutral-from-buy-at-goldman-sachs-1034334109

Looks like a reaction to the completion of share buyback announced on Feb 4th, around £100m at an av price of £8.25 - a level the SP seems to be gravitating towards ...

Out at 14.01 with a 20% profit after only a few weeks - happy trading y'all!

Divi payments will arrive in their own sweet time ... the great thing is the continuing upward trend in SP. Jammie Dodgers all round when this hits £2

Back in at 1192 - might not be the bottom but should be close! GLA

Would love to know - don't see any specific news.

Cant help but feel that once legal issues have been squared away - the SP should fly.

10% increase in SP in last 5 days - almost 3% today (at the moment) ...

Starts on Monday 12 June - will be interesting to see what that does to SP. Quiet enough today after a strong surge this week.

Hopefully that ... despite all that ... there is value in this company that is not reflected in the current share price

Interesting to see >£16m in shares sold by CXO types at Indivior in the last few weeks - now why would that be in advance of the much vaunted US listing?

Possibly contributed to the recent SP fall ... possibly oversold now given the impending US listing. Thoughts?

Nice 6% increase since results published last week - looks like II's are increasing their positions
