Topped up 4,000 @ £1.339 .. 5 mins after the BIG buy .. looks like I got a bargain ;-)
GLA.
The 49,000 'sell' at 10.03am is actually a buy .. I topped up 50,000 this morning. Increased production at Wressle and Biscathorpe (fingers crossed) - can't be far away now. Happy to keep adding below 27.5p and hold this one longer term .. good luck all.
225,000 please .. round up the total buy backs to 2 million.
Keep going David.
'The loan announced this morning is for general working capital requirements pending the finalisation of a Cambay farm out.' @synergiaenergy - 10.12am
'Pending the FINALISATION of a Cambay farm out' .. I read this as good news, sounds like a deal is close.
The 4 x 25,000 showing as 'sells' (12.45pm today) are actually all BUYS .. mine, not UJO's - although I'd be more than happy to see David chip in with another few 100,000's of buy backs ;-) Every little helps, eventually.
Flybe - ceased trading (again), more train strikes to come. Every little helps ..
National Express UK passenger demand - must be above pre-covid levels by now ? Looking forward to full year (2022) results and possible dividend announcement on 2nd March, if no trading update before. Share price, should rise before then - looks silly low at the moment. GLA.
Agree and well said Mr B.
You may find the share price responds more positively too.
Don't under-estimate how off putting this Bulletin Board is to potential new investors .. with the constant bickering and point scoring. Put me off for a while, until I delved a little deeper .. some good posts on here - but many can't be bothered sifting through the drivel. Stick to the positive and cut out the petty arguments - it's a great company with solid fundamentals. Here's to another 100% + SP growth for 2023.
Cheers Gordon, looks like the 'sell' problem has cleared now .. I notice a 5 million and 2+ million sell just gone through at 0.9 / 0.86, so maybe that was clogging things up (liquidity issue) ? All looks ok now at my end (on Fidelity) ..
I've got the same issue Gordon .. a dummy sell on 50,000 doesn't even work. Strange.
Incidently, I don't know if anyone else uses the FIDELITY dealing platform - they appear to have had a technical problem for the last few months with SYN .. one which I've complained about and chased several times. Ever since the name change (from Oilex), it's been impossible to get a live market quote to BUY, even a small amount .. you can buy on a limit order, but no live quote - most annoying. I'm still on the case, and it looks like they may have (finally) fixed the issue in the last 2-3 days.
The only problem now, is you can't get a live market quote to SELL .. whereas you could before. Hopefully this is a liquidity issue - it's been like that for 2/3 days - but with such a small amount (50,000), you can normally get a quote.
Incidently, for anyone voting through FIDELITY .. here is the proceedure.
'After speaking with our brokerage team, they have confirmed that this vote on the acquisition is not being done through a corporate action.
If you wish to vote on the acquisition at the upcoming shareholder meeting, then you will need to sign up to the Broadridge shareholder information and voting.
This can be done by following the below steps:
- Log into your Fidelity online portal.
- Select the 'Profile' button the top right-hand side.
- Then from the drop down select the 'Preference centre' option.
- Expand the 'Shareholder voting & information' option.
- Here you can turn the service on, and this will trigger an email to be sent to you with the link to register.
- Through this service you can submit your vote.'
All relatively straight forward. One thing I did notice was the deadline for voting was 24th January at 1.59pm .. ahead of the OGM on 27th January. Not sure if this applies across the board, but something worth noting for those yet to cast their vote.
32,500 shares - just voted NO.
Likewise, took another 10,000 @ £1.55 .. agree with your sentiments Carrington.
Interesting to see the 3 x 80,000 buys in quick succession - wonder if we'll see a TR1 or announcement of more Director buys in the next few days ? Last time the share price dropped to this level was late September .. Helen Weir (new Chairman) promptly snapped up 31,000 shares @ £1.58.
2nd March, 2023 - Full Year Results.
What chance a takeover at this low price .. Kistos ?
Topped up @ 1.62 .. fundamentals still strong, notice a few other decent buys going in at these low levels. Will come good, or takeover target - patience required. Good luck all.
