the way I see it is one of two things happening: a) the share price suddenly races away and you miss the boat - not very likely or b) you sit tight, as it (albeit more slowly) slips nearer to £4.50p - more likely. So, for me buying today, is to be paying more than you need to, with such headwinds.

precisely. If ever there was a business model designed for scalability - then this is it. IF they get the Sales, then the Profits will follow a lot faster, than in other Industries eg FMCG or Leisure etc.

exactly Lending, as "Branding IS Perception".

For me the Basics will do the job: substantially increase revenues. Erase their (increasing) losses totally, so that they actually make money and, finally, pay a Dividend.

I had a disturbing dream last night. It featured Charles, Berenberg and Jeffries. Woke up in a cold sweat.

No, it's just not working. I've tried slamming the front door, hard against my head, but still I'm seeing Green. Worrying times.

at Specsavers, as I keep seeing green this morning.

Good effort steviewonder77. To answer my own question, I reckon a reversal in 'sentiment', will be the key price reversal driver here.

Not sure if this was posted earlier? https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.fool.co.uk/2021/11/24/the-darktrace-share-price-is-down-35-in-30-days-heres-why/&ved=2ahUKEwj33aXQwLH0AhWWQkEAHdoLD5YQ0PADKAB6BAguEAE&usg=AOvVaw3eyZoJFAoJhRPEtYaEw0Ie

does anyone know the numbers for the Shorts; as the Short Tracker site suggests that there aren't any. Well not big ones anyway?

these corrections can be very alarming. They take the main elevator at speed to the floor and then it's a slow and painful walk back up, via the Fire Escape stairs. This is going to need to some big buys or a bloody large contract RNS. Fingers crossed, as I'll settle for both!

This is an unbelievable correction. Another -4% so far today. What on earth is going to reverse this out; I just can't think, (other than a major sentiment shift maybe) what is going to stop the rot here? There is just no motivation for potential buyers, when it falls every single day. A FTSE100 company this is not.

and that's the problem. So many are under water here, as a result of shocking ramping. I have only ever sent seven people to the Sin Bin - ever. Four of them, are sitting in green boxes on this very Board!! No wonder I have tried to provide some contrarian commentary here! Not that it got me anywhere, as I bought at £5.87p!! Doh! To be fair, I first bought and sold in the 7's and 8's at a good profit, and after just three days. You do wonder though, if today's £4.81p is going to look like a big number, come January 2022. Just as £8 does now. There's no end in sight, as £4.50p fast approaches. Pacman is still very hungry!!

yes, sorry about that Shezray. Super ramped stocks, and this has been a shocker, always crash back to earth. It was ramped to horrible levels so it was a slam dunk, that this would suffer a major 'correction'. It'll come good, but with 'proven numbers', rather than 'sentiment'. That's the good news! The bad news is it takes much longer to prove (achieve) the numbers! But at least the share will then grow with firm foundations; rather than sand, as this share was. As The Guardian journalist said, it was built on steroids and couldn't be sustained. I still think that Berenberg will retain their "Buy" note, but that they will have to reduce their Target Price, as their credibility is totally shot with Darktrace. . . .ATB

Of course the AGM was going to have no influence on the share price today. Suggesting that last week, was a bad case of "clutching at straws" for a few here. Well done Peel Hunt, The City clearly agrees with your numbers and not the muppets at Berenberg! The really big question is " will this now go through the 4's and further down into the 3's?! I'm still not averaging down, as it seems to now have £4.50 in its sights....what a joyous company to be invested in!!

Jeffries will amend that...downwards, as it's their credibility that people will now be doubting. Them saying £13 while, here in the real world , the share is plummeting to £5.02p.....

Possibly Charles, but I would strongly urge you not to be as fixated/influenced, by these Broker Target Prices. Half the time they pluck them out of thin air and then change them depending on how the share is performing! Hence a downgrade (price wise) will come as no shock, in the next few weeks!! They're very fickle people. . . .

and that's why we need to be patient and give this company's reputation time to recover. When you put out RNS's with new contract wins such as they have, which result in zero share price inflation, then you know for sure, that the company is in a difficult and slightly dysfunctional place (where nothing seems to make sense). No rockets back to £7+ here. It's going to need a lot of time and patience. . . .it's not their fault that a purely 'sentiment driven' (therefore) sky-high share price, valuation drove them into the hands of the FTSE100, so prematurely. It is like they're five year old kids, being sent straight to Secondary School. DT was simply just not ready. #toomuchexpectation. . .

in light of the current share price, I fully expect them both to retain their 'Buy' notes, but reduce their Target Prices appreciably....

It’s a bit like Pac-Man this share; chomping it’s way through each pound, in very short order! I just hope that it’s getting full now and doesn’t devour the 4’s too. Gulp. Or should I say “burp”? ATB
