I took up the rights in 1997 as well ! Think I will stay a bit longer....

Believe its 25 October

Thanks Del. I know. You have made this point in the past but newcomers to this site must wonder what is happening when the prices and buys/sells are all over the place and often wrongly tagged. If sites like Morningstar can get the trades correctly headed why can't this site?

Looking at the listing of trades shown here as of 1600 I cannot see how lse is identifying sales of over0.5m and purchases of less than half this amount. Would even dispute the sales numbers anyway as my early morning purchase at just sub 8.2 is shown as a sale.... Am pleased the share price holding up reasonably well and can only see it gradually rising over the next few trading days.

Just back from a few days in France. Jolly, your posting just too subtle... Glad I sold both HAT and ABM before the recent falls. Will watch and wait before dipping toe into both again.

Hi Jolly power to build what ?

somebody selling around 100,000 on a daily basis for past week.

Notice that the low price recorded last night was an uncrossed trade and that recently somebody is selling small volumes on an automatic basis at closing prices. Is there any significance in this ? fyi my broker offering buy at 9.40 and sell at 9.54 as of 1300 hours today. let's see whether the price maintains roughly this level throughout the afternoon before declining at close.

Positive report in Tempus this morning. ''FTO has sold its gas business for $ 160 million and the same amount in shares in China Gas but its market cap is less than £180 million. One analyst puts a price of 20p on the shares''

Wide spread on buying/selling. more than 2pct.Purchase price rock steady at 319.465 all afternoon. Tried a bid at 319.45 just to test them out and was refused !

My broker offering buy at. 54 and sell at 56. Pretty narrow spread for this share when compared to past days

Well, somebody out there must agree with you, they have just invested nearly £ 1 on 10 shares.

Bought in a year ago around 330. Reckon might breakeven by December as these shares recovering well. Wish I had averaged down a few months ago

You look somewhat lonely on this site Jange. I bought in a few months ago around 850 and was pleased to see it move smoothly up over 900. Past couple weeks has seen the price drop to where I started. Would have thought that this is a pretty well-run outfit and that the shares would have moved steadily upwards. Any idea why we are still languishing around 850 ?

seems all over the place today. As of 1030 my broker buying at 9.10 and selling at 9.12 a very tight spread for fto. on friday at about the same time of day the spread was 9.10 to 9.28

As of 1115 today my broker offering sell FTO at 8.95 and buy at 8.89 so the 8.51 sale unrepresentative.

Del. Thanks yours. Guess you know your postings on FTO are appreciated by the contributors on this site.

ok, we see a reduction in net profit but a healthy increase in assets primarily due to the shareholding in CGH. Del, would appreciate your comments on the figures when u have had time to digest them. Share price appears steady as I write.

Think we both missed our chance....would have been an opportunity for me to average down. Got out of ALBE, yesterday on seeing H&T's results.

Looks like most trades are going unreported. As of tea time in the Test only a handful of trades reported since mid morning. What's going on ?
