Hi Clued, many are nursing very heavy losses here, so it's understandable to read distressed posts from folk. Those buying here just on Monday, with exactly your 'logic', are down over 20% already! The problem seems to be that the results never make any difference to the share price - and they've been pretty damn good! People keep lurching from one quarter to the next, but are left disappointed, each and every time. So that is why bobocaca is feeling down on it; understandably too, as DT has left 95%+ of its investors badly burnt, since its IPO. That said, I hope your 'logic' proves more successful than it has for us lot!

because it will go lower!!

Europa, imo this is about 'perceived' reputational damage. For some reason the Market can't seem to rid itself of what it 'thinks' might have been going on at DT in the past, in the present and likely (being factored in) in the future. It isn't right, but it matters not, as the damage has and is being done. The TB fiasco has certainly not helped at all either. This share LOVES to go crazy and then collapse violently. The first was excitable PI's driving it to £10. This is not PI's it's the wider Market imo. This winter will be messy globally, so who knows where this might finish 2022? My 'hoped for' £4.20p however, now looks a tad ambitious. Yesterday it dropped 40p; but when do you EVER see this rise by 40p? I mentioned a full two weeks ago now, that this share was "finely balanced". I was wrong! It's on a bloody knife edge! ATB

Just finished pumping re-inforced concrete into the £3 foundations. Should do the trick :)

Lazy bugger. I'm up at 06.30 every day!

Sorry that was meant to read Seaking1

Speaking yes but so far, results have barely registered here, bizare though that is. Plain odd, but apart from the initial new IPO PI driven excitement and the TB fiasco, this has barely done anything. Just weird!

oldgold, I don't blame you. I also agree re. cash. I have just four stocks left in my ISA Portfolio - the smallest number in fifteen years. I sold the remainder in July and stuck the resulting cash in the Bank. As you say, it's going to be pretty tough this winter and much hard-earned money will be lost on the Stock Market Roulette table I fear. This may even set a new year low in the coming weeks. Something just isn't right with this one. We may get a RNS regarding today's horror show like a major Institutional off-load? Down 19% in a week, is not screaming "sexy company to be invested in"!!

wow and down we go - like a stone! Not a rocket or so much as a sniff of a bidding war to be seen!! Surprise surprise! Now just £3.18 which is exactly Barclays Support 1 figure. Support 2 is back at £2.87 where this whole TB debacle first started. Boy oh boy the Market doesn't like this company. . .

interest rates rise from 1.75% to 2.25%

Personally, I see £3 a whole lot more clearly than I see £4 with the way the world is likely to be, for the remainder of 2022. Currently, £3.44p is 'Trading Support' with Barclays ('just about' hanging on to it). After that, 'Support 1' is.... well errrrrr, you really don't want to know. My Year End Target of £4.20p is still drifting away with the tide! I guess we just need another dodgy American PE firm to dream up another 'all cash offer' yarn and we may break this rather tedious channel, that we have been stuck in since May. ps Stupmy I said you may well get your £3.40 buy-in; well, we just hit it. . . . . personally, I'd still wait though :)

Toff. Just a couple of items before I sign off. 1. You are not a Mighty Lion. You are in fact an Almighty **** and 2. Just to assist you: Monday is the day after Sunday and the day before Tuesday. Hope that helps. Into the bin with CR888 you go. Grrrrrrrrr

ToffAppleton1 - I think you 'may' have missed the entire gist of my post! Perhaps someone can explain?!!

catch up with you guys on Tuesday. Don't forget, let's keep this a "Post Free Zone" on Monday. Not much to ask. . . ATB

I'm 90% certain, that it's 80% guaranteed, that this will be taken out by TB. Almost certainly. 100% guaranteed. This will go to £12+++ when the bidding war starts. Then TB will have to up their 100% to 90% guaranteed offer, to £20. Who knows? Let's see. Guaranteed. No doubt about it at all. In fact I'm so confident of it, that I'm 70% certain of it. Best wishes, CR£8+++

oldgold22. No, it was never 'guaranteed' as it was always 90% certain to happen!!! Best wishes £8++

very funny!! Short term quite possibly, but in 2023 your 'nibble at £3.51' will I'm quite sure, look a whole lot better! ATB

Hello Watchman, this is as I expected, hence my mention to Stupmy on Tuesday, that he "may well get his £3.40" target to buy back in. I just felt it in my gut that (a) TB would not actually table an offer (see my posts on 31st August) and (b) that as a result, this would be stress-tested and dragged back down (see my post at 16.44 on 13th September). So, realistically, if you strip out the TB 'Cash Offer' nonsense, then we are simply back in the same old trading channel that we have been stuck in since mid May. Effectively, we are where we were! That said, I remain 'hopeful' (as I was before TB came along spreading their fake 'All Cash Offer' news), of £4.20 by year end.....

Indeed Watchman and I'm very encouraged at this early point, that zero posts on Monday may well actually happen (that's from midnight GMT onwards, for those who may not reside in the UK). If you can hold off from all things DT, then please, let's try for ZERO posts until Tuesday; not exactly a big ask if being honest. It's only 24 hours :)
