Member Info for sheltie

Rhythmquest - it's hard to know where this will floor, but its sharp fall from its year highs, are certainly concerning for me. I'm putting my money on getting in here for less (obviously, as I haven't bought back in yet!), but we shall see what comes. . . .ATB

GovGilbs - all the best to you. More 'have a go' attitude than the usual 'entitled' approach, that we see so much of. Good for you.

HellasVerona, if I had a £ for every Fund Manager that has bought badly, I'd be a millionaire!! They OFTEN buy badly. I work very closely with the major FM's in the UK (they're our Clients), from Monday to Friday, as that's my day job (admittedly, within Fund Real Assets rather than Equities, but same difference really); so I have a pretty decent understanding of how they go about their business. Trust me, be wary of following their lead! At £5.88p I'm still sitting on my hands here (but will be re-buying, having sold out at £7.79p, some day soon), so that, when this eventually rises back up to £7.50p (hopefully), guess who will have made the money? But at £7.50p they will have only just broken even - with your Pension money :((

The Market is going to like these numbers - a LOT. This is a very strong turnaround story and will now be factored in to the share price. Based on “FACT” and not ‘maybes’, ‘possibly’ or ‘perhaps’. Good Job Aston Martin!

Lending that was aimed at charlesrixon not you. We were typing at the same time it seems. . .!

Touchy! My point was that I said these RNS would appear when someone asked yesterday, if the majors could off-load without mentioning it! Which of course they can't, as it 'materially' affects the share price. Still nothing today, that inclines me to buy back in yet.

As major holders start to off-load their shares in DT. . . .

Not so sure that £5.80 is a good buy. I'm staying out as I think it will go lower still. May be wrong, but we're not out of the woods here. . . .

. . .is will yesterday’s seller (as just one likely example today), continue to off-load? They have sold a parcel of 11m at £5.80p but they still have twice as much again. So, are they off-loading in parcels, so as not to disrupt the share price too much, or are they going to keep the remainder? This is the issue that DT will face and one that none of us, including the BoD, can possibly know. I mentioned yesterday, the way that major holders often break their sells down into smaller parcels, which short term is good, but longer term can hold the share price back (as they keep dumping parcels along the way). Hmmmm. I have never come across a scenario like this, when a company simply jumps into the FTSE100 when it has not even arrived at the end of its lock-up period! Incredible really and very unusual, so I’m b*****d if I know how it will play out! Exciting though. ATB

As folk will know, but very much looking for my re-entry, at some point soon (perhaps today?). That said, I wanted to wish everyone here, the best of luck today; which will be fascinating on many levels. Excellent learning opportunity.....or perhaps yet another opportunity to be left baffled by the vagaries of the Stock Market! Yes, likely the latter!!! Could go up, could go down. Who knows! Never a dull day with DT! ATB :)

Anyone got any ideas as to why they would off-load a third of their shares, if it was going to go to £10 next year? Just weird. This share is very confusing to me......

So annoying, well for me anyway, (huge relief for you lot!) as I’m busy at work tomorrow, so cannot really watch this one play-out. It’s going to be super interesting though. Great chance for all of us to learn more about how the UK Stock Market works; like it or not. ATB

Is that I’m bloody glad I’m not in this’ll, at present. With that RNS, God knows what will happen tomorrow. Blimey. I’ll sit this one out thanks. But if it hits the mid £5’s or say £5.75p, then I’ll be back
in. That’s an ‘if’ though, so all the very best to all holding here. . . . .

You'll get it, and probably £5.50p - but you may not get it tomorrow at any time, let alone 10am.

I'm still waiting for him!!

Aaaarrgh this computer! I meant to say ...I reckon there will be more shenanigans going forwards, so I'd rather sit on the fence, as you say, and not become either a) overly anxious about being in or b) anxious about being over exposed, during these turbulent weeks. Good Luck with whatever you decide. ATB

clairesmith. Yes, it is such a tricky one this. It's a good company for sure; but it is not a slam dunk by any stretch. I reckon
