RE: Sell Ahead of the News18 Jan 2024 10:12
It closed last Friday at 28.6p on a lowball UT, I did my calculations from the Opening mid on Monday of 28.85 and 25.25p as the SP at the time of calculating, a drop of 3.6p which is 12.5%
In your figure you seem to use the percentage from the lower figure, when obviously it needs to be worked from the higher figure it has dropped from.
20% of circa 25p is 5p, but 5p from circa 30p is a 16.66%.
That's why investing is so hard, to make up a 33% drop you need a 50% increase to get back to par, a 20% drop needs a 25% increase to get to par.
Anyway enough of the maths, it looks like the drop led to a lot of 10k buys, I assume that was all that was being offered at that level, suggesting a false move and backed up by the recent move back up from there. In the absence of any delayed sells, I just think the MMS are whipping this about a little to see what they can get, we all know there is a trading update due (including the MMs), we just don't know the content yet. GL all...
