I'm pretty sure its a sell. When price moved to 76/74.2p earlier, I put in dummy buy and sell and got around 75.5/74.7p. Was surprised. Can't be 100% though with MMs messing around with bid/ask and with such low number of trades today. Need some company news.. Rich

7% share price drop on 5/1/18 manipulated. Seeing lots of good sized buys today as this gradually moves up to 45p. Also lots of sellers selling into the rise on good news. Solid RNS in my view and PFD finally making some progress. Will continue to hold mine for medium to long term recovery...gla Rich

Each day 2-3 RNS re II holdings. Again this morning Lomard Odier issue RNS that they have bought 2000 shares. WTF is the point of these? Secondly, when will we get a proper RNS and offer for company? Getting bored with waiting...yawn Rich

150k at 74p. I wonder where the market makers keep getting these cut priced shares from. RNS please! Gla Rich

Not bad results....can we hit 45p?

Late buy? Just gone through 41k@74.7p...buy or sell who knows, but volume of trades picking up...tempted to buy more myself at this crazy price, but my financially disciplined side won't let me...grrrrr!

Up 5.3% with buyer at 500p...finally got to a fiver! Still holding mine and expect this to go much higher by end of Jan. We'll done all holders! Gla Rich

Was watching level 2. Late 2x100k at 74p reported at 1630 when market makers shifted bid up to 74p and ask over 76p. Actual trades took place at 1530 and 1531 when ask 74p. MMs moving prices around to make them look like sells in my view....Rich

337k buys, 4k sells.....just waiting to see if seller dumps a load after close.....hopefully not, then tomorrow we might float off the bottom...LOL.

Over 200k shares bought today so far, 4k sold but share price not moving....surely the big seller must capitulate soon? Strong buy St this crazy price and I can see other PIs think the same. Already filled my boots ready for lift off....gla Rich

Don't worry this will come good! Keep buying more at ridiculous price, I reckon! Business now worth just 60.8m quid by my reckoning, got to be a take over threat at these prices! When it last dropped to this level I dropped email to company and flagged this up. Shortly afterwards (Nov) we saw 500k Director buys at 93.25p. This is being played at the moment with algo trades and low volume to gradually walk price down. I expect an RNS soon for a Holding update. Big bounce soon I reckon! Gla Rich

Been reviewing these again. 82.1m shares in circulation at current 74p = market capitalisation 60.8m GDP. Last year (ending 31/7/17) turnover 110.0m GDP and profit before tax 7.4m GDP. Net debt 6.0m GDP. Dividend 5.115p (6.9% at current share price) Risks - no growth forecast for this year. UK Brexit Risks, slow down on high street sales, lower margin? But 27.7% of revenue from outside UK (Germany), selling relatively small ticket items (kettles, toasters etc), selling to majority of major retailers, 74.39% of shares held by institutions (Black Rock, Shroders) and Directors. New non executive Director bought 402k shares at 93.25p in November and Chairman bought 109k at 93.25p. Don't understand the current share price, but I'm holding for a recovery....gla Rich

Excellent news thanks! I don't get Shares magazine but do get IC. The update on 4/1/18 was fabulous and looking forward to more detail on 29/1/18. As you say, I don't understand why anyone would sell prior to the update, but its always good to take a profit! I was buying these mid last year down to 340p and others will have done the same. Anyway I'm holding for over 515p and expect the resistance at that level to be smashed. Rich ps have a look at UPGS, possible recovery play but Dyor as always!

Powering up to a fiver for the trading update on 29/1/18. Last years share price high 515p, should break that imo by the end of January...gla holders Rich

Just noticed about 2 store closures in Express and Star. Can't believe notice pasted up on closed shutters - "this store is now closed. Your nearest Crawshaw is at West Brom. B70 9LR. Any saving stamps can be redeemed at any Crawshaw branch". No explanation, but more importantly, no apology to customers. V.disappointing. Speaks volumes to me.. Rich

Should be Mouser not louder! Damn predictive text LOL Rich

SDM sign agreement with Mouser Electronics in US. Louder (owned by Berkshire Hathaway - Warren Buffet) has 22 distribution centres globally selling semi conductors and other electrical components - great news as SDM looks to expand globally. Rich

Re price rigging, I see it slightly differently - moving share prices around is part of the game that fund managers, market makers use to generate income. PIs need to be aware that this happens and not worry too much, but focus on the long term performance of business and share price which should correlate. In fact many PIs not monitoring movements constantly, won't even be aware of large swings that occur, often for no apparent reason. PFD price has been fairly stable for a period at close, but can be up / down 2-3% within minutes as algo trades swing the price around on low volume. Today nothing has changed (that I am aware of with the company performance) so I just take it that share has been driven down to shake the tree a bit and accumulate some more shares. This then becomes an opportunity for traders, who add to the volatility. I don't see how the FCA can regulate this, as its just IIs taking positions prior to results. Where the FCA have to get involved is with insider dealing, falsification of financial information etc. Just my thoughts for what it's worth..Rich

Going to be contrary here - I reckon next set of results will be good due to cold weather. High frequency / shorter driving down to get more shares. Expect big, big late buys at low price. Predict 45p plus on 16th. Gla holders Rich

Tempted to get back in sub 10p.....and hope Boporan buys up rest of shares......
