Really strange move to sell at that point but could be a simple answer that we’ll never find out.

Any holders got views on nearest competitor for this technology please - is there one and if so, how does it compare?

Actually you’re wrong about correlation between number of posts and volatility; that’s not to claim causality, just a strong negative correlation. Check it out for yourself, it works.

Lightbulb moment on reading Tom78's post and should have figured it already: there is probably a strong correlation between the number of posts on LSE and the volatility (and potential for loss and occasionally, gain) of a particular share. I guess that's obvious in fact because solid performers with happy PIs don't prompt much comment. It also explains why some of the biggest companies have practically no traffic on Share Chat. Thank you!

Share price wanders up and down within a relatively narrow range and has done for some while now. PFD has few shorters and recognisable strong brands (for now). What it surely desperately needs is strong and professional leadership that can exploit its brands. Things could so easily be different.

That's an interesting comment Ironic. Virgin (and perhaps by inference Sir Richard Branson) has seriously damaged private investor confidence in the London market, not least for medium- to long-term holders.

Almost unbelievably, this looks more and more like Flybe. Oh dear.

It is difficult to comprehend how directors who so blatantly abuse the power vested in them by shareholders can continue to operate as directors. Yet they do, and they will.

Makes you question the whole premise of the Stock Market and its 'rules'. Time to move on I guess...

Trouble with short positions for PIs if that most were taken at 100p or more so they're quite content to sit a while longer. Even mention of a takeover isn't likely to return the price to where it was just a year ago.

Perhaps the greatest concern for day traders is possible suspension, followed by clarification of situation.

Received an email in response to my earlier approach to Hoskings.

Have confirmed support for appointment of Eric Kohn to Flybe board and removal of Simon Laffin. Hold out very little hope of recovering any of my 2018 investment but who knows.

Net debt down by almost a third, tidied up business activities over past year, PE under 10. Just needs some decent growth now I guess.

Brace, brace! Indeed.

Any bets on who will end up owning the profitable outlets? Sad times for what seemed like such a well executed chain.

Hosking Partners: I wrote a brief email, thinking that initially at least, they won't be interested in the detail; it serves more purpose simply to show them the strength of feeling amongst PIs.

Hi, I’m a PI who lost money this week as a result of Flybe share drop.

Fortunately I only lost about x% of my pension fund but I was interested to read the article on Sky, suggesting that as a major shareholder, you may seek to take further action.

I understand the risk in share investing but can’t help thinking the board of Flybe misled investors over an approximate two month period from November 2018 to mid January.

Good luck with any action you take, the apparent behaviour of Flybe’s BoD causes damage to the reputation of the UK investment sector. I certainly saw nothing in their RNSs or other communications to suggest what was going on behind the scenes at what was a Premium-listed company.

Thanks for all the diverse information which I'd never have found on my own.

Although I suspect it's a done deal and my money is gone (Caveat Emptor), I have emailed Hosking Partners and will contact the FCA On Monday.

Any clues as to why so many small trades today? Trying to figure out what, if anything, is happening now.

That is an exceptional job, gives clarity where previously there was very little. Just wonder what Mr. T is planning now.
