(i.e. hope you are not the mystery 10,000 buyer, lol?)

sure, i'm happy to believe that. so how many of the buys are yours? (hope you are not the fella buying the tiny, tiny deals .. makes no sense with dealing costs etc!)

try it and see, lol. someone has already been trying to move it up with a sequence of small buys, then sell into it with slightly larger sizes. it doesn't work, they are just paying away big spreads. look at the average price of the buys totalled on friday & today, then at the average price they are getting on sells. small time punter trying to move the market with trades of few hundred ££. ridiculous trading pattern, funny to see. and such effort for such small amounts!

yes, agree. goodluckall seems to think i am being negative about imtk, but actually i have no particular view for or against imtk, and hope it does well. -- getting rid of rt's interest is a good first step!

have you actually looked at the size of the trades going through?? for example, review the trades logged on friday. there are buys being logged, sure, but with 50,000 largest, £1350ish, & most just for a few hundred pounds, smallest 5000 (£150). ... round number amounts, which might suggest one trader rather than multiple pis, as pis often buy and sell in round £ figures if doing a single transaction. (but not necessarily). so whoever the mighty buyer is, they seem to be making multiple chicken-feed trades, rather than actually executing any size. on a company with mcap c £2.8m, friday's *total* trading activity, buys & sells, was just over £13,000. strange! perhaps there are some 'friends' of RT who are still looking to get rid of the 'bargain' share packages they bought from him, and are trying, rather hamfistedly, to massage the price up with a sequence of tiny, tiny buys. but i am just speculating. (meanwhile, what imtk will need will be some actual concrete, constructive news on corporate progress, which would make for genuine sp move.)

is it really as good as 50/50?

look at grayling's post of weds 13:16.

rekoplee, conversely, what do you imagine might happen here if there was any bad news? limited liquidity cuts both ways, presumably. -- so question is, good or bad news more likely (& why.)

if it's not sound, who else is likely here? nice to see some relief for holders after miserable recent months b/c poo.

color, think you may not get a straight answer.

not so interesting to watch now RT has left, but still entertaining to watch .... £13,000 total trades today, & look what happens. (sequence of buys for a few £hundred, don't all rush at once!) have no view on the company itself, but enjoy watching the rt folks try to unwind.

"In the case of Legal & General, the market appears to be increasingly nervous about its exposure to corporate bonds in an environment of deteriorating credit quality in that asset class. We are less concerned – Legal & General does hold a substantial portfolio of corporate bonds on its balance sheet but it has provisioned over £2bn against future losses. It experienced no bond defaults in the financial crisis and we expect a similarly robust performance from its high quality portfolio of corporate bond assets going forward, even in the tough environment that we foresee. We remain very positive on the prospect of consistent and attractive long-term dividend growth from Legal & General." https://woodfordfunds.com/insight/january-2016/?utm_source=monthly-update&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=monthly-update

i am pessimistic on general markets currently, so agree there might well be more down yet to go.

perhaps simply in a market like this, where else do people go, lol? kicking myself, nearly bought into rio for a small trade yesterday, missed the fun! -- at least this time round, but a few more fairground rides yet to come.

lol, poor woodford won't do very well on his performance incentive structure if this is only 110 in 4 years from here. i'm not trying to time a bottom here, so am just reinvesting money on a periodic drop feed now.

hi rich, yes, certainly weird that there are changes in the amount being recorded for 'value', seems back and forth between £K vs £Millions. but if you look at the number of shares, that is not changing -- it just looks like someone's software is mistakenly logging the value as being £1.2 per share, and then it gets corrected back to 1.2p per share which of course gives much lower total value. but key point simply that the trades were entered but then cancelled out -- so there are no actual net trades at all being reported for those dates.

lol, based on what?

not sure what you are looking at rich. i don't see £7m worth of trades listed on my screen. all i see are 12 recorded trades listed at 1.20, but these simply appear to be 6 trades of varying sizes, where there are then 6 entries showing *those same trades being cancelled*. (so in effect, no net trade is displayed.) where you are getting the £7million from? 26-Jan-1609:28:17 1.20 -346,723 0.000.00 -4,161 O 26-Jan-1609:28:32 1.20 -857,130 0.000.00 -10.29k O 25-Jan-1616:17:22 1.20 -14,312 0.000.00 -171.74 O 25-Jan-1615:06:34 1.20 -612,324 0.000.00 -7,348 O 26-Jan-1609:28:32 1.20 857,130 0.000.00 10.29k O 26-Jan-1609:28:17 1.20 346,723 0.000.00 4,161 O 25-Jan-1615:06:34 1.20 612,324 0.000.00 7,348 O 25-Jan-1615:06:34 1.20 -612,324 0.000.00 -7,348 O 25-Jan-1616:17:22 1.20 14,312 0.000.00 171.74 O 25-Jan-1615:06:34 1.20 612,324 0.000.00 7,348 O 25-Jan-1615:06:34 1.20 -626,636 0.000.00 -7,520 O 25-Jan-1615:06:34 1.20 626,636 0.000.00 7,520 O
