Looks like TW chose to sell out at a particularly inappropriate moment. Says a lot about his analytical capabilities. Cutting off his nose to spite his face comes to mind. I can't deny that the situation makes me smile quietly to myself...

I'm a LTH, but I sold a small tranche last Thursday at 16.7. Rightly or wrongly, it's now back in at 14.225 (mid point was 14.25, so it'll be reported as a sell). Time will tell whether it was a smart move, or a stupid one... Really torn here as to what to do.

Is it a realistic hypothesis that the shorts were closed based on the understanding/knowledge that there is a potential offer being lined up?

See amendment to the holding RNS....

And a couple more in quick succession!

Chairman has just done what you wanted....

Your director's buy has just appeared - £99.5k's worth....

Thank you Corryvreckan1. That explains where I got the October date from, and reassures me that I'm not completely senile yet...

I made a hastily scribbled note when I bought my 1st tranche of these back in Feb 2023 that the 'protection' was due to expire in October 2024. I can't remember where I got this date from - it's too long ago. But I am perfectly prepared to be corrected by those who undoubtedly know more than me...

Analysts seem to have missed “expects to deliver a record summer in terms of bookings”

I'm not so sure... Unfortunately, a record summer - in terms of bookings - is irrelevant for the SP, unless those bookings translate into (preferably record) profitability.

As a retired vet, I well remember the days when young vets progressed up the ladder - if they so wished - to become a partner in the practice. That practice was owned by the vets; it could be anything from a one-person practice to a dozen or more - but they OWNED the practice and were free to charge whatever they wanted; however, this was dictated by market forces (i.e. neighbouring 'rival' practices). Everything was in balance, and the veterinary preofeesion was held in high regard.

When the corporates entered the market, everything changed. They became the 'dictators'. Profit became the be-all and end-all of everything. Over time, the public - who are not stupid - cottoned on to this. The result - the profession that I was once proud of is now being treated (quite rightly) as nothing more than a money-grabbing machine.

I don't expect this post to accumulate any 'likes'. After all, I am only a (retired) vet with 40+ years' experience on the front line, not an investor....

PurpleKenny: they may be recorded as sells, but most of them are buys. I'm being offered 9.94 to buy at 12.47. That's below the mid point of 9.97, so it will automatically be recorded as a sell.

There is an article on TW's websit headed 'Skinbiotherapeutics, is there a placing underway - response from Stuart Ashman'. I don't subscribe to TW's website, so I don't know more than that. Perhaps others here do...?

LOS ANGELES, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Oscar winner George Clooney and other top Hollywood stars have offered $150 million to the SAG-AFTRA actors union as part of a proposal to end the actors' strike as it nears its 100th day.

Their offer, confirmed by Clooney's spokesperson on Thursday, would provide the union an extra $150 million over three years and could help fund improved health benefits.

Clooney also said top stars would only collect residuals once lower-paid actors received theirs.

Sorry Jtrade1, but my profit was a whisker under 40%; buy at 326, sell at 457.45. Hardly a tiny profit! I still have enough in an ISA (at 332.98) to go on with, but I'm likely to be back in here after a reasonable retrace. As Knowbodyyouknow stated - 'everyone has their own strategy...'.

No. I tried and tried but without success. Was slighlty peeved when I saw some people had managed it (or, at least, close to it)...

Not interested in the others. I'm interested in SBTX, which is currently down 13%, and most of this is after ZM proclaimed his 'doubling' opinion...

"30.00 expect we may double from here may see alot of people coming in later today".

And then again, we may not.

Zak Mir is, in essence, a technical analyst; an analyst who gets things 'wrong' more often than he gets things 'right'. TA does not appear to 'work' in a stock such as SBTX. I could equally pluck any random number out of the air and state 'it may' reach this level.

A complete waste of space...

Here's a paragraph from an email I received from IG a few minutes ago:
"We are now awaiting delivery of the shares from our broker CITI & our corporate actions team has sent a chaser email to broker today."
Not the most efficient set-up...

Hi Zeon690, perhaps they should have by now - but I'm still waiting too... (I'm with IG). Have emailed them, but so far only had a 'holding' email in return.
