Naked Trader Robbie Burns has added to his position, never a bad sign

"I've added more ITV. The shares as they are look decent value despite the advertising downturn. But the hidden assets here (studios/prog making etc) have always looked ripe for a bid so I am going to try and stick with them. If a bidder comes forward I'd expect a bidding war and a winning bid I think would have to be 120p +."

I think you're right, I can back that up with the fca shorttracker spreadsheet. However it's the main ones like Blackrock that are out and are the ones I tend to take notice of, the new ones might just be hedging

still there according to this:

Nope, I don't play with investments all day either, it's just another one of my hobbies. Been walking our dog after this mornings open and off out for a round of golf later.
Bought here at around 59 and expect to make a fair chunk now the shorters have disappeared

No thanks Tom, I retired at 52 and have no intention of returning. It's called good investing

If it wasn't a mistake I see more and more of I wouldn't have bothered, it's not the only constant needless spelling mistake I see, of and off is another
it irritates the hell out of me me how our education standards have dropped

If your share price forecasting ability is as bad as your education standards then you don't know what you're talking about - it's losing not loosing

Imo it would take ages to reach a conclusion in which time the company and sp is excelling, no mention of any possible fine and could end up just being a slap on the wrist for something that happened years ago, I'm in !
"In the event that Ofgem were to proceed to an infringement finding, this could impact the Issuer’s ability to enter into such exclusive arrangements with energy suppliers, and rely on the exclusivity provisions in existing agreements"

really lse ? ***** = batch with an 'i' instead of the 'a'

Maybe you should change your name to Phil***** ?

Tempting here but put off by this para in the accounts:

"The Group's current secured order book is £9.3m, most of which will be completed in 2020. This figure is materially lower than it was at the time that the 2018 Accounts were released (£16.4m). The Board does not expect that a substantial amount of new turnover will be won and delivered by this year end and that the result will be a significant drop in the Group's performance for 2020 as compared to that in 2019"

On the basis that they fulfil that £9m of order book in the year with not much else then that will only give them around a £1m gross profit and with current overheads an overall loss, with the result of eating into the cash buffer

It seems like there is little hope in the pipeline, any thoughts ?

some traders maybe but clns more likely, long term opportunity I reckon

Crystal Amber are obviously more confident than the directors, quite funny really

how may aimers from the past have said the same and regretted not selling ?
Just saying !

I'm in under 12, that was too good an offer to be refused

30% spread I meant

I'd like to see them close that 30p spread however, I mean wtf !
Can't buy currently either

oh spare me, please don't get the conspiracy theorists started, once they've got a bone they don't let go (no matter how ridiculous their conspiracy theory always is)
Did you know that the typical conspiracy theorist tends to have psychological issues that harbor a grudge and a feeling of being let down by society, and a need to blame someone else for it

Perhaps I should have added an addendum:
'It's not rocket science' !

They certainly aren't scientists Jed, that much is obvious ! Scientists are the experts here not politicians (or bb heroes), the politicians are just trying to keep the economy going at the same time as following the science expertise
