MaryB = was the consolidation not 15 times - so current share price of 125 equals 8.25 old money? It went from 10.52p to 127p and then 145p following week in October 2020.

I think the insurance market is very competitive. I just moved to Saga as Aviva's quote was up 30% on last year's price. Car makers building over complicated, unwanted features and expensive replacement parts (£650 for an X5 headlight) is the real problem.

Normally a delay to full year results is a bad sign. The market seems not to think so, but I'm scratching my head,

Blimey - just when you thought it couldn't get any worse and to blame it on the election being called! I think betting on this is like a 33-1 outsider on the Grand National - it could come good but requires a lot of faith.

Good analysis - but anything tipped by ST (Bango, Allied Minds, BVC to name just a few of his howlers) is a red warming flag to me. My previous subscription to that mag cost me thousands.

Yes - I can't understand the price of this share, but I am well underwater having thought it cheap since it was 80p. I might convince myself to top up. I think if it does break-out it will be by a serious amount.

Seems like the market isn't impressed. Net debt up, which is not great given the increased gold price and revenue.

To the comment 'Any knight in a storm'. Are no others here uncomfortable with a knight that is happy getting in to bed with Russia? They need to make up their mind who the bad guys are.

I was hoodwinked by takeover talk in March this year into throwing more cash at this dog. I simply don't trust it to invest any more. I also rue the day I subscribed to Investors Chronicle which tipped it as a buy at 878 in Oct 2021.

I doubt a takeover at this stage. The share price is historically fairly low, so is likely to bob around a lot. I am not entirely comfortable being a holder of this share. The fundraise was such a botch job.

I know it's a small market cap share but if feels as though something strange is going on.

Agree - it seems a strange share to short - what with travel taking off helped by the Olympics and Euros and so far no new worrying Covid variant. Even in March 2020 (the stock market nadir) the shares were £2.

Henry Boot is up 10% today.

No RNS and yet price up 10% to 230p as I type. Surely not all down to Labour's promise to build houses galore - we might soon look like Singapore on Thames (but probably without the wealth).

Solid but not spectacular - but then again it would be surprising in this industry if they were. The market was expecting better though. I'll dip in if it falls a bit more.

Yes indeed it sounds very positive. Given the losses on this share, am I brave enough to buy more?

Comes across as a very badly managed company. Kingspan share price going in the opposite direction to this one. Needs to be taken over.

Yes probably worth moire than £3 or a bit over £100m. But had to understand why anyone thought it was worth over £1Bn.

Yes might be tempted by 20% drop but not happening right now. Unaudited results are also not great.

Yes - but then the shorters are often wrong. H/L being a classic recent example and M&S a bit further back. Sainsbury has more than twice as much shorted - something I can't get my head round. The share price here has halved in 3 years and yet revenue has increased as it goes for growth. It's a gamble on that strategy paying off (or not if you are a shorter).
