Exactly. I read that as "now is the time to buy" a short seller is trying to convince people to sell i.e. they need to buy to close the position before it's too late. Thanks Motley...

That's only Codes 999, 911 or 112.
code 1 should trigger an FCA investigation but the useless lumps don't care :-)

Exactly surprised it has held firmly at 3.5p tbh nothing has changed fundamentally since it was trapped at 3p. Just an updated to sate what we already knew.
Very odd how supply and demand of shares can be so balanced low or high volume days seems the price is definitely being set/fixed by MM for some purpose that we will not understand until after the fact either too late to load up or too late to sell :-)

One of the protesters is the next door neighbour of a girlfriend of a bloke whose best mate used to work on the Woodsmith site. There back on SXX topic so the forum warriors should not remove the thread this time round!!!

@bobster, I think Labour are a Strong Sell this election not a Strong Hold. They will lose many seats, a crying shame we cannot short GE seats lol

@illbetabuck - You can buy shorts in Asda, M&S, Sport Direct etc, should you include them also buying short as opposed to Long pants? You can get a Short cut in your local hairdressers is that also included buying short hair rather than long? :-) Have fun

@illbetabuck - Shorting is not CFD's or Spreadbetting dyor!

@Chesh - Yes they have to buy shares to close position & hence hit with stamp duty unless they are lucky and short something that dissolves then 0.5% of nothing is nothing. They do need to pay capital gains tax though FWIW!

@Lamtree. Not true banks are not safe, they maybe safer. But the can and do go bust and you only get up to the FCA guarantee back.
Current interest rate on almost all account are currently negative when you consider inflation rate leading to a "real" loss of capital. That 500k Purchase you were mulling over 5 years ago and could afford, is now 550k but you now only have 525k (assuming 1% interest 2% inflation non compound to make sums easier!)
There is no safe place for money, even cash under the mattress carries risks (robbery, denominations going out of circulation which if you have large amount would lead to interesting conversations with law enforcement if you attempted to change it etc).
Nothing in life is safe its all about risk and reward and getting the balance right, win some/lose some. We all have to hope the wins are greater than the losses.

Open: 3.686 States this above^^ 4p was a daily high. Quite often in all shares for the price to bounce around shortly after open.

I recommend reading and digesting this article. Then thinking about a few scenarios like closing a short/building a large stake for the lowest possible price or the reverse opening a short/selling a large stake for the highest possible price. Then think when/how you would achieve this and when to use DMA or a broker etc and those accusations of manipulation may resolve into smart trading strategies.
The Market is now more open to everyone and is a fair(er) playing field. Also why you see so many warning on here and elsewhere about the danger of "stop loss" orders.

No, serves it purpose, market manipulation should be investigated and punished though!

Sweat pants and basements reeks of de-ramping/abusing other misfortune.
to me Ramping seems more fitting in pinstripe trousers, shirt tie and blazer, from the loft or top floor of a building :-)

FWIW CF could have shown the time the contract with the strategic partner and the funds in the SXX account but because that would show SXX in a positive light the Times would choose to erase all mention of it from the interview transcript!

Rampers not tampers damn auto correct always thinks it knows best think it was the infected by the deramping crews lol

Aubrey you seem to be exaggerating (ramping) the statements your so called tampers make. Whilst belittling a statement of fact on the daily sp turn around (deramping) confused much?

Aubrey you seem to be suggesting us average Joe Investors would prefer a weak finish i.e 5% down from JR's afternoon to finish measurement would be -8.83%.
Well this average Joe investor much prefers a strong 5% rally to close than the weak reverse!
Eeeeerrrrrrmmm
Grow up seems appropriate!

@OR most definitely in this case.
Buy on rumour and sell on news is the old adage.

Helluva lot of selling on rumor of bond failure after RNS
Eye watering amounts of buy on news on bond sale expected very soon.

All IMO
Gutted those who sold lost but they did help me treble my holding so I'll drink a brandy or 2 and raise a toast to them at the (insert ridiculous so) party.

Yes looks very manufactured after a very quick move to 11p it has flat lined at that level for the whole day, not normal for a fairly volatile stock after a quick movement in any direction!

I assume they are expecting a debate with the outcome being some new legislation that will commit the government to support any business that a citizen has invested in and subsequently had the share price move against them. Surely it is not far fetched for the government to ensure nobody loses money on private sector share holdings lol
