Explains why I couldn't buy into close.
I would also re-emphasise that they have now raised guidance 4x since IPO. Have a look at AudioBoom who have been doing similar upgrades lately...
I have just had a brilliant email from IR.
I can't post it all because it is written in quite a personal style, but it is best summed up by this bit...
'We have engaged with the Telegraph over the weekend, and made it clear that many of the observations made by Shadowfall (who?!) are false, incorrectly calculated, or indeed total fabrications.'
Love the (who?!) In relation to SF
They have provided me with explanations as to why their points are inaccurate and I would suggest they agree with many here that post the excellent trading update SF are doing whatever they can to close, realising the business is flying, whilst the Americans are off as they have been the majority buying of late as DT are significantly undervalued Vs their US peers.
They aren't taking this lying down. And this is a buying opp imo.
BB in layman's terms, just a passing comment really, basically I couldn't get a quote to buy as mentioned what is a reasonable size trade for a share of this size, at a higher price than the SP had been for most of the afternoon. If there is a short position at some point they need to buy shares back. If they aren't closing any and shares are freely available, you'd think MM's would be happily selling.
Negotiated trade. It's when you can't get a quote to buy and it says indicative price. You have to either do fill or kill and get whatever price you get given or you have to submit limits. Basically means they aren't quoting larger amounts directly.
NT to buy for Ā£20k+ into close. Seems very odd for a share of this MC if they have a glut of shares and shorts aren't closing...
I have asked IR for clarification on the short position. Luk usually replies really quickly but he hasn't today. will share if I am able.
It would be good to get an RNS from Dark tomorrow relating to the media speculation on this. They could quickly put this back on a positive footing.
Sorry, hard to compare when refreshing the article. My mistake.
Sorry if that's incorrect!
I'm not a subscriber, so just had to refresh a few times
It says 'Shadow Fall confirmed it had placed a bet against Dark Trace in October.'

You can read the updated article here.
Typo - 'placed'
The article text has been changed by the Telegraph, after the damage has been done.
It now says Shadowfall places a bet against DarkTrace in October.
Clear manipulation.
I have contacted the Telegraph - and IR to ask if they will also be asking the Telegraph to issue a correction, to also confirm the current short position if there is any and to ask whether they would RNS to address the innaccuracies and timings. Might as well try.
Done. Lat, this morning's SP moves are a clear result of the Telegraph article. Which is it seems, incorrect.
Google FCA short positions. They publish a spreadsheet every day.
As I said last night, nothing on any of the tracker sites. The whole thing stinks.
