The following search - EUA "JIM nominees" - shows JIM's subsidiary nominee company as a holder of a substantial amount. Obviously not owned by JIM. My default position of not believing any posts that don't show the source holds true.

If your credit is good with your broker, he'll let you buy on 20 working day settlement. The maximum allowed I believe. At t+20 you can settle by paying up and keeping the shares or if your broker really likes you effectively cancel that trade by selling and buying back. Two trades are printed with either 50/100 quids worth of shares difference or the same number at slightly different prices. The other point is the times are within seconds usually.

Obviously as happened yesterday a bunch of big trades can be printed together and look a bit like rollovers but aren't clear cut like the two 750k trades with 8hrs time difference. Probably with a slow-moving price it's possible The market tries to disguise its true intent. On a smaller scale a bed and isa looks similar but less than £20k value.

Cracking little company, good reliable dividend too, apart from a little hiccup caused by covid.

Accuracy is very important, you specified March in your post - "I didn't think I had over-inflated my expectations to expect the shareprice to NOT crash by almost 40% of its highs in March" so I checked March.

I will withdraw my last post, as I said I referred to the LSE chart showing just closing prices but the price did get a bit exuberant at the open which is not the fault of anyone but over-optimistic buyers.

CooperD.
Personal - aimed at a person by name.
Abuse - casting aspersions on his mental state.
The first thing you did on your return was to poke him to get a reaction. Stop being so childish and let's have some peace.

"I didn't think I had over-inflated my expectations to expect the shareprice to NOT crash by almost 40% of its highs in March,"
I think you must have, the share price never closed at more than 16p last march. Which is a drop of 11%.

CooperD, no need for personal abuse is there.

Pacman/CooperD I'm not taking sides in your spat but if you both took the day off and lowered the temperature then the resemblance to ADVFN might stop. As I said we've got the message and nobody else is reading it I feel sure.

Quite so Steve, for pity's sake pacman and Cooperd we get the message. At the last count 15 messages today between the two of you saying the same things. Get in touch with someone who will listen to complaints, we can't help you. If anybody has anything interesting to say it is buried by the squabbling which is getting boring.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Amount - number, fewer - less . Who cares? Nobody is applying for a job writing copy for Radio4.
Picking up on people's grammatical style is rude and patronising, you know it is or why say sorry? Let's encourage debate rather than putting other posters down.
ps I draw a line on using "would of" in place of "would have" or "would've" but try to ignore it.

This isn't a market maker share so there are various ways of shares changing hands, on and off market. There is always a buyer and a seller.

Just had a look at the Financial Diary for Jim and it's still 2020 in there. So for anyone who doesn't know: next divi announcement 18 feb, ex-div 25 feb; Final results 11 march.

It has done very well. I was buying these for £3, 4 years ago, nobody was interested and I talked to my yourself frequently. The good divi and re-invested divi's. has built up to a tidy holding in a real picks and shovels company paying me over £5k a year . Whatever the market does they make money. What's not to like. I'd like some more like JIM.

A couple of early buys cleaned out the MM at £2 and put the price up.

Hi Fallingknife, I completely agree on your "I think a few things weigh on TSTL" comments. I loaded up big after doing a lot of research back in 2016, encouraged by Soler's heavy buying. My first sale was when Liz Dixon sold some, but I continued to hold a lot. As time went on my holding had doubled in value and being discouraged by more director sales I sold half. The price continued to rise and I completely sold out after share-based payments or director-sales became a feature of nearly every announcement. I fully expected to buy back on clarity over US FDA and EPA applications, but checking on patent expiry got me thinking that the US were stalling for time. They don't like foreign competition, I fear, on mass-market goods. Alright on luxury items to import fancy foreign stuff but maybe not disinfectant so I'm unlikely to revisit Tristel. Good luck all, I do hope I my fears are groundless.

Just an opinion but if I had 10000 shares to transfer into an ISA I would pick a day when the price was low to minimise CGT and then do a fixed price £50 Bed and ISA . This would show up as two closely timed trades at slightly different prices equal to £50

It looks, this morning, with 3 MM on the bid and only one on the ask that this might be ready to leave 60p behind. Are they short of stock, certainly looks like they are looking for sellers?
