What if the recent 50k seller and the 500k buyer were the all part of the same transactions. Smaller trades to drop the price and stimulate others to sell whilst overall collecting a bigger position...

Stranger things have happened.

Yeah of course, as usual our media just lap it all up and take everything at face value. We in the west look pretty impotent these days. It's really shown how little we can actually do if Russia or China decide to do anything.

It's a bit odd, he is both talking withdrawal and sending troops and ordinance to staging posts nearer Ukraine.

That aside, you can bet they are trading the markets off all this!

As a slightly different perspective, I think the bigger issue is more simplistic. Money isn't in growth shares. When the rotation back happens Dark will go up. The market always surprises, falls are worse than you expect and rises go higher. I don't think profitability is the issue for a co like Dark myself. If you want profitability you invest in BP or similar. Look at huge tech growth shares from FUTR to tech minnows like GILD eSports. All flailing because the capital just simply isn't there at the moment to back them. When the sector gets momentum again Dark will go higher than people expect. (IMO). Equally it's shown it has gone lower than many expected...

80:50 rule applies too as I have mentioned before. Big tops generally always pull back significantly.

Another 70k sell, almost as if sized perfectly to outdo the 61k buy before it.

So bizarre.

A good sign but also Putin signalling he is open to talks could equally be an attempt to take people's eye off the ball.

Lat - really it's semantics. I prefer not to pigeon hole people I don't know personally, especially when you don't know who does what and when. I rode my core holding all the way up last year. I sold at around 850p and it was a good investment. Personally this year I have felt there is more money to be made on short term plays with Dark. That has proven correct. I guess you can call that what you want.

The trader investor argument is a fallacy. Everyone is both a trader and investor. The only difference is some hold for longer than others, but there is no cut off date - IE after 3 weeks holding you qualify as an investor.

There are no prizes for holding losses.

Lots of talk about Russia launching coordinated cyber attacks next week against allied targets, both gov and corp, before any invasion begins. (If indeed it does with Russia currently having a smaller economy than the UK that it can't afford to damage and a much inflated perception of its own place in the world).

The world's a grim place at the moment but for Dark their products and services are becoming more and more essential.

It feels like global economies might need one more major flush before they can start to find a steady footing for growth again. Perhaps this further display of weak men in suits trying to look strong, whilst being completely distanced and insulated from the wars they begin, and their impacts, will bring it.

I can see Dark having their best ever year next year by some margin.

TR1 is a holdings RNS, showing an II buying in. I know no one thinks that is happening, but I suspect that they are. Obviously they want to accumulate during stage 1 and when there is softness in the SP. You simply can't build a big position during a re-rate.

I also think we will see more TR1's in due course. And personally I believe that alongside the results will be the sentiment boost needed.

Have a look at RENE today, fell very low, TR1 showing lows have been being bought and whoosh. Similar story in the round...

Good post Sheltie. Interestingly I have the next pullback being to around 390 so that ties in for me.

Higher lows. It's looking much more solid at the current levels now. Moving averages are flattening out and I stand by my call that this is stage one accumulation. Every dip has been bought up for weeks now.

I am as sure as anyone can be that the latter part of this year will see an SP markedly higher than at present.

It sounds to me like a question you should have asked before any investment don't you think?

Yeah no thanks. Does this technique ever work for you?

Quick negative responses after a morning of silence. Helps explain what's happening ATM. Lol

Expecting the next pullback to be another higher low when it happens. That for me will really confirm the trend. FTSE looking quite toppy so be careful over the next few weeks.

Everyone selling now is basically selling at a loss. Even the placees. Time to start adding.

Smh.

Well said. Investing isn't a team sport but equally I am very happy to see what is a good BB see some decent uplift over the last few days. And giving myself a very small pat on the back for calling the pullback and rise again. Atb

Agree MB. I actually traded out at 28p fortuitously for some of the reasons you mentioned. Also the weekly chart started looking a bit ropey so I took a chance on being able to buy back cheaper. I see this as MKA being played whilst volumes are rubbish. All these sells are going to a buyer. The question is who.

Going to drop feed mine back in as it settles.

It's 15% up from lows and just about to hit 400p....

Not a bad shout - bounced off 192, slap bang in the middle of the range 189-194 I charted. 3% up.
