At these prices it has to be a HOLD for me until we get some confirmatory news, OK you might miss out on a few per cent here and there but that's if you're really lucky.
Someone mentioned a 27hr flight to New Zealand yesterday, i would suggest getting yourself arrested or detained under section 2 of the mental health act for 28 days with a well fitting straitjacket.

Going out for a smoke and reassess, will have to fix the toilet though.

UK financial authorities are a walk over when compared to US.To think Mr. Hill hasn't been in control while this share price fell is being nieve,he is a bit of a character.
Selling up at Petplan indicates to me at 74 he wishes to call it a day and sail into the sunset. Fridays article was a blatant invitation to treat,it's an opening salvo saying "does anyone fancy buying a bank"

Did the kitchen sink last week,working on the bathroom fitting now, toilets are for poofs.(I'm Donald Trump and i approve this message)
Seriously though looking back I would think whoever is pulling the strings on this one was surprised the SP didn't fall further.A lot of new PI have arrived,172m shares if 100% were available or you could say 10,000 holders at 17,200 shares, 3440 holders at 50,000.
They might get a top slice of mine if it's a ridiculous rise but have no intentions to part with them before Xmas.

share dealing isn't the Italian Job.

What was Cudds thinking when he unleashed you lot!

Means SIR DUFFIELD IN HOSTILE BID FOR METRO

Anyone want to sign up to a lynch mob, got some shorters cornered here trying to leave by the fire escape.

Metro are very good at dropping a RNS after hours and you would think we are due a TR1 with the volume we've had over the past week.
Something to think about if your short.

Compared to this time last Thursday i'm feeling a lot more at ease with this share.
The one thing I do find suspicious are these small trades of less than 100,if they have found some way of beating the system by firing off thousands of incidental trades why doesn't the FCA introduce a minimum trade/value of say 1,000.
Must add it can work in both ways and I hate to think what my dealing costs are going to be on the thousands of 20-30 share transactions I put through on Wednesday!

If there is any substance to these rumour's of a takeover then this would be a golden opportunity for the hedge funds to reduce.
Having said that the wider market is in a bit of a nose dive currently.

I think the bond market didn't believe 7.5% was enough hence 9.5% whether they can afford it is another matter but I think they can.
With the finance now in place the bank can now get back to it's growth strategy and I like the idea of security boxes with access 7 days a week over extended hours.
Security boxes attract the right type of customers with wealth to secure away, not your average university student on a pitiful grant.
The revenue alone from 14,000 additional boxes would meet the extra costs.
All hypothetical if Metro is bought out.

Better off getting Matlot a fire extinguisher.

I couldn't move,i couldn't trade, a fat lady decided to sit next to us on the bus......…. am I glad.
She hasn't started singing yet!!

LTI, "there would be nothing strange about a shareholder offloading 25% of their shares within a company."
Shareholders expect more loyalty from their directors especially when the shareholders are going through tough times.After a brief rise deciding to sell was a bad move, however after todays interview with the PM at the Conservative wake a caretaker PM is more likely and should lead to an improvement in Lloyds SP.

It's no surprise no one commented on the large director sells,have they lost faith Lloyds will reach a £1.
Untill that day watching Lloyds does have one great benefit if you wish to catch up with an afternoon snooze and today woke up to this fantastic song from Roger Whittacker.

PS if anyone touched my knee they would get a mouthful of biscuit unless £126,000 and a pole was mentioned.

Penny dropping.

This is the second time ENA have been so right, on the previous in May they were in front of the curve!

I wrote this earlier
"The timeline is interesting.
683 Capital crossed the threshold on the 24th notifying the issuer on the 26th when strangely enough ENA reduce their short by 1.1%.
have ENA someone on the inside as the world wasn't notified until 3.17pm on the 27th"
Have now looked back at FCA records and discovered ENA made the perfect judgement on the 13th May dip ending up with .07% after a thumping big fall of .86% on the 13th May unlike Odey which actually peaked at 4.21% on the 20th May or Marshall Wace 1.67% 13 May.
Makes you wonder if they are that good ?

"A source close to the Bank of England said it could extend the deadline."
I also think this is very likely.Have looked into MREL and its continually going on about "too big to fail " why wouldn't they let it fail like BB and Northern Rock which benefited the UK taxpayer.
The average Joe is covered by the FSCS(FCA levy) £85,000/£170,000, if TCG isn't too big to fail then why should Metro be treated any differently.
It does seem a very expensive exercise to protect the wealthy.
