dunno. nothing obvious i can see, tho' us little pi's just mushrooms really. it's quite a movement, but i wonder if it's primarily profit-taking as people pack up for their crimbo hols?

over on iii board, someone posting re investors chronicle,Investor's Chronicle,19/12. Utilitywise: "Richard Feigen (ch): sells 166,666 shares at 212p. Remaining holding: 66667 shares. 02/12/13

anyone aware of the particular reason for this nice rise, or is it just to do with reshuffling in some aim portfolios away from the more speculative ones into quieter aims which pay a reasoble dividend? not been a very positive time on aim generally this week.

can i play too? 'wouldn't want to be out of this one over the weekend'

not in here, just popping in for the show. what are you guys on!? this is like that firework display where they accidentally set everything off at once.

i sold out at 2.72. was disappointed not to get more, but profit is profit and i have better things to do with the money. insitutions seem to have already expressed reasonably clear view what they think it's worth short term (bearing in mind Pis have relatively few shares in this, not pi sales moving the price) the dividend is very good, and seems well underpinned, so downside from here probably quite limited. a good share to hold still for those happy to be in for income. but little to get excited about growth-wise. good luck to all still holding.

if you can be bothered to look over rangular's posting history, you would see that pretty much all he does is bang out wild guesses of where he'd like shares to be that he's currently holding or shorting, just day trader who de/ramps at the drop of a hat, never any proper research. he's had phases of using multi-ids on this site too to amplify his ramps. best you get from him is stuff like "they are connected to visa, visa is very big, therefore this share will be very good". no brain cells.

little bit of upward movement, excellent. the best thing is, i can toast the rise with a lovely glass of prosecco, and in so doing contribute even further to that profits update. luvvly-bubbly! roll on a very merry christmas to majestic and all who invest and work in the stores.

i've taken some off the table, recent rise too tempting not too. but keeping half still in as have reasonable hopes for a take-over in 2014, fingers crossed.

market makers gonna have a lot of fun with this one, looks like they are planning to play a nice game of chicken with would be stags who saddled themselves with wonga loans

from infinis website For the current financial year ending 31 March 2014, Infinis intends to declare a pro rata dividend equivalent to an annual dividend of £55m in respect of the stub period following IPO. For the financial year ending 31 March 2015, the first full financial year after IPO, Infinis intends to declare a dividend of £55 million.[1]

from investors chronicle: Infinis, which has been built up over several years both organically and through acquisition by Guy Hands' Terra Firma private equity house, is a profitable and strongly cash generative business with decent growth prospects and, what's more, it plans to pay out a chunky dividend yield pretty much from the word go. The company has said it intends paying out £55m in dividends this year, pro-rata for the time it is a listed company, and the same amount next year. Based on the offer price of 260p-310p, which will value the business at between £780m and £930m, the yield on an initial purchase in Infinis could be between 5.9 per cent and 7.1 per cent, with management hoping to increase dividends at least in line with inflation in future.

bankers already clear that infinis was more than covered already in monday evening, so looks good. hope the allocations are reasonable.

probably also people expecting guy h to be a little meaner on the pricing, so less likely to given 10% premium that was sitting there for comfortable while with merlin

honestly don't know -- ? maybe from press point of view there's more fun to be had for reporters and editors to run stories that can have a legoland / tussauds etc. spin to it, more readable for general audience, and a company where many familiar with at least some of its products. and maybe there was a bit more bizz around merlin b/c it came on back of all the buzz from royal mail. GL.

yeah, i put in for it in the end. sold out merlin to assist with funds for that. suspect in longer run merlin may have better prospects than infinis, particularly if they can make far east devts work, but short term probably will look for modest exit point from infinis rather than be a holder.

are people here bothering with infinis?

during conditional trading in theory there is still scope for the issuer to say, oops, no, sorry, it's all a mistake, i've changed my mind, i don't want to float the company at all, please forget the ipo ever happened. very unlikely to happen. a bit like a wedding where vicar asks if anyone here present has any objection.

there was a reasonable allocation. i was thoroughly p*ssed off with royal mail, but got a reasonable amount of these. probably a good hold up to about 380/390 i think. hoping we will see that within a couple of months.

threeputt, seen how asw is doing? -- another one from the marlborough microcap holding list, they're doing well, opay has another very good one recently.
