Both! Whoever wants to snaffle them up will be offered; and I do mean anybody. They'll want them off the market asap, to reduce the free-float. BUT, as ever, they can only do this if there are willing buyers. There-in lies the rub! Will the big sellers materialise? And if they do. Will there be willing buyers? Anyone's guess!! ATB

PS although the gun goes off tomorrow, there is no obligation for those involved, to trigger any selling. People/Corporations may take weeks, before executing their lock-in selling rights. Hence, why I feel that this share price may be a bit sqwuiffy through to year end (calender). ATB :)

Didi888 yes you can expect to see a few RNS published as (assuming they do of course, but not guaranteed) major sells go through from either Instutiobal types or Directors as it can 'materially' impact the share price (share sensitive). But they will cut the sells (assuming large) into smaller parcels a) so as not to disrupt the share price too harshly (panic the market!) and b) try to slip in under the radar. But yes, you can expect them to be reported via the usual RNS channels, as required by (FCA) law. ATB

Think I'll continue to sit this one out, as I feel that any downward pressure will outway any upward pressure. I just feel that they will get cheaper yet. ATB

currently ranked #108 (at £6.43p) in the FTSE. I for one would be very comfortable seeing this relegated, for now. I mean what company sits in the FTSE100 with a turnover of less than £250m? It is bonkers!

Clairesmith, I'd say don't still buy at £6.20p. Yes, it may recover tomorrow, but then there's the rest of this year still to go! Could easily drop to £5. I'm tempted at £5.50p but that still places this company on a very racey multiple. Don't forget that it has a small turnover (£281m at June 2021) and makes a chunky loss (luckily it has a good cash surplus sitting on its Balance Sheet). So a multi-billion pound valuation is placing a LOT of faith in the future; so it had better deliver or it will be crucified!!

Well, there is no guarantee that off-loads will happen tomorrow; hence my theory, of unsettled weather here for the remainder of 2021. It's not just about lock-in's expiring. It's also very much about this share still trying to work out what its 'fair market value' really is at this juncture. Now THAT for me, is the million dollar question. Could be £8 - could £5. Personally I think £8 will be its best price this year and £5? Not out of the question by any stretch. I'd be in no rush to buy yet. Wait until it goes sub £6 judging by this morning's floor having now gone. Claire's target of £6.20p is not low enough and I bet you it gets further reduced. . . .ATB

at almost the exact point that this fell to last week; before bouncing back up sharply. Now, is this another 'same floor', in which case buy? Or is it a 'false floor' that will be breached; in which case, sit on your hands, if buying? Hard to know, but it's definitely giving a good account of itself at the c.£6.75p mark (which is what I 'guessed' would be the floor last week if you recollect?). "Rinse and Repeat" job, or are there going to be more funs and games, amongst the Market Makers?! Never a dull moment with Darktrace!

Nobody can know as, by Thursday, it may be deemed to have already been ‘factored in’ with the recent strong uplift. Either way, I’m holding this one for 2022. Good Luck. ATB

Correct, the next Trading Update will be on Thursday and very clearly, ‘someone’ has wind of ‘something’, as this is moving very nicely. Let us all hope for a great RNS at 7am, on said day! Come on Superdry, let’s get back to the glory days. . . . ATB

Not that we don’t know any of this, but it is very likely to pull Darktrace further down today.
Article reads: “Shares in cyber-security firm Darktrace crashed 15.1 per cent, or 121p, to 681.5p. That is still above the 250p float price but well below the peak of 985p less than six weeks ago. A 'lock-up' period in which some investors were blocked from selling their stakes ends tomorrow – more than doubling the number of shares available to be traded.
The end of the 180-day block means tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his wife Angela Bacares could sell their near 16 per cent stake. It is piling further pressure on the company after a report from brokers Peel Hunt, which claimed a 'disconnect' between its value and the money it could make, knocked 21 per cent off its share price. Darktrace went public in a blockbuster £1.7billion float in April and within months had joined the FTSE 100. It is now worth £4.8billion.
If shares continue on their current trajectory it could be ejected from the FTSE 100 after just months at the index's quarterly reshuffle in December”.
Not terribly helpful that this company is constantly in the Daily Mail’s negative reporting crosshairs; but, it is what it is. Lock-ins are normal but joining the FTSE100 before you can walk isn’t. “Too much too young” as the song goes!?

with this kind of volatility; the company quickly becomes labelled as "highly volatile" or "not one for the faint-hearted" etc... It is now nearly 80p less than I sold for this morning; and yet still, I feel, today is not the day to buy-in or buy-back. I think you'll get these for less by Friday. Got to keep ones emotions out of this one and just play it; as it's just not a 'buy and hold' type of share......yet. It's almost kind of too young for folk to know quit what to make of it as a company yet. It is indeed possible that entering the hallowed ground of the FTSE100 has comes two years too early for Darktrace? Personally, I see no way that it will survive in the FTSE100 - which will be a blessing in disguise.

it does NOT need to fall to £1.10p!! As at close of play on October 29st 2021, the 100th company listed in the FTSE100 is F&C Investment Trust and it has a Market Cap of £4.75bn. At number 110 is ITV with a Market Cap of £4.3bn. We have 698m shares in issue. This equals a Market Cap of £767m at 110. Thus, your number of 110p is miles out. At £1.10p we would be ranked 350th and would long since have left the FTSE250 let alone the FTSE100!

Just as I thought. Now 50p less than I sold them for an hour ago. This will go sub £7 again, it's just a matter of by how much. This is a FTSE company in name only as it behaves like an AIM listed one every day. Traders will be loving this, which only goes to stir the pot further. . .

I've sold up and can already buy back for 20p less. 'IF' I have got this right, then I am expecting this to keep bouncing up and down within the £6.75p to £8 mark. We shall see, but I'll keep my powder dry for the this week - probably. ATB

For what’s it’s worth, I have 54p to 56p by the final Trading Day of 2021. . .and I’d be very happy with that thank you. ATB

Agree. I cannot open the link either. Any chance you could (or anyone else) cut and paste its contents 1msn?

. . .”First, anyone who is likely to need to borrow money – for a mortgage, home improvements, just clearing other debts – should take advantage of cheap money while it lasts. The only safe assumption is that the rise in interest rates will be faster than the markets expect”. . . .IF, as this article suggests, Interest Rates rise to that level, then profits here at Lloyds, will subsequently go through the roof. Thai is a superb time to buy Lloyds, for your balanced Equities Portfolio. ATB

Skier1. I am also in Crypto BUT hitting on those that rise so fast, Like Shiba for another example, is very difficult. It is also MEGA high risk. So, yes, on the one hand you are correct BUT you can lose your shirt in a day too!

Told you this would finish above 50p. It's our time now and we WILL hit 60p by the Spring/early Summer of 2022. At a net profit of £2,500 for every 1p gained, I for one, am very happy to wait! Excellent. ATB
