Those of us that have been here for years know the signs. If your a newbie to RMG stock. Listen to both sides, keep a cool head and then make your own decisions as you should be doing anyway.
The comments about shorters returning are not in line with my current thinking. Thus far its one that never really went away, just lurked beneath the 0.5% parapet. Then merely stuck his head up a little in order to gain attention.
If!!! they should return in numbers it's possibly problematic but cross that bridge if!! it happens.
Just be wary of new posters that know it all and attempt to force their opinions.

Update due Thu 10th Feb.

That's more like it.

At least the numbers are coming down 15000 previously down to 13000.
The manipulators latch onto any negativity but we have had far worse here.
Covid will reduce and things will improve generally.
Onwards and upwards albeit some headwinds.

Oli. My experience finds that Google was usually found to be correct compared to this site. Recently a similar situation occurred to that which you describe. I'm of the opinion that it's brought about by stock movements that are not reported in real time. Example being reported at day's end at a price equal to morning levels.
Much more here than meets the eye.

Presumably LSE @507p
Don't know why I bothered checking the shorts today JB. They always update just after I check and strangely just BEFORE! you do. :-)

Which close is correct ?
Here or Google which has :-

To buy or not to buy
Royal Mail has certainly seen an impressive last 24 or so months. It’s hard to ignore the all-around growth the company has been experiencing. It’s also hard to ignore the fact that the company is going to have to keep shelling out overtime payments to staff who are still working while maintaining its relatively generous sick pay to those who have come down with Covid-19 or have to isolate due to contact with sufferers.

I feel there is still some real value to this stock though. If 2022 is indeed the year in which we get the pandemic under control, RMG’s issues could soon be a thing of the past.

With a price-to-earnings ratio of just 5.69, this stock looks good value and is hard for me to pass up. While I remain cautious, it is a stock I would buy in 2022.

14 January 2022, purchased a total 384,928 @ 4.99

Thank you for your take on the current situation. Very interesting and provides much to think about.

Yes! Wolf.
Instructed to purchase stock uninfluenced by RMG but within previously agreed parameters.
No Company would give "carte blanche" to another.

Barclays had the opposite view and hiked the price on the 7th. Why the difference of opinion. Maybe because JP Morgan short RMG

Wolf. I refer to RMG although being fully aware of the situation. It's RMG buying although through an intermediary. ML are acting in accordance with the following prior instruction "The Programme will be conducted within certain pre-set parameters"

Needing to close short was my thought also.
My other thought was they must all have second jobs as "bar stewards"

Why on earth would the Company be purchasing its own shares in this manner :-
13/01/22 - 217,000 @ 524p
11/01/22 - 17,000 @ 508p

The short at or above 0.50% is Marshall Wace.
They were at 0.48% 27/10/21. It's as though they increased 0.02% to bring themselves into view and show an increase. Could it be a scare tactic to promote "shorts sharks circling" comments ??

We are told constantly this stock is not manipulated !!
Yet we see large volume (£m's+) posted late and type UNKNOWN. We also see as yesterday a £4m 514.00p BUY posted near closing but the SP opened around 514p yesterday and dropped soon after.
Are the number crunchers here able or willing to inform us why deals take place but information is held back etc.
I'm convinced of manipulation despite protestations to the contrary.

Hmmmmmm ??
