RE: Building a position- Not notifying27 Oct 2021 13:24
Canary3 - You haven't provided any evidence to support what you've said. You've provided speculation that someone did it. Seriously, you're passing things off as fact without any evidence, I'm not disputing things do from time to time happen, there is evidence of it, it's a lot rarer than you think. It's even rarer when it's a company such as NCM building a stake in an attempt for a takeover, it would provide GGP too much leverage to fight such a takeover as they'd have it investigated. Either way, the point is the regulation don't permit it. That is a fact, so it's a myth that they're allowed which was what my post said last night.
Hydro - Beetham can say what he want. Till he explains to you how so it can be evidenced I'll take it with a pinch of salt, bearing in mind we know the guy likes to lie. As for the missing c 8%, that is correct, but nothing under 4m is on there. nothing from any of the MM's has to be on there up to (I believe 10% but very unlikely for any of them to be carrying that, it's much lower) but all these figures add up, bloomberg doesn't actually carry all holders, it's not 100% accurate which is why traders use that amongst other sources for holding information.. In relation to it being slow, well it's not slow, it officially updates twice per month as per the manual that is available on the bloomberg site.
Strudel - Nail on the head! I'm only ever arguing about facts. The fact is anything purchased in GGP must be declared after 3% and 1% thereafter because we are uk issuer. I haven't got into "opinion" of whether someone is doing something dodgy. I'm quite simply pointing out that what someone said is a myth, you are not able to buy a share a day and you don't have to declare, it's a tired old myth. Thank you for your post Strudel!
