How long for HKK?

Correct, so that takes us to January if they want to offload another tranche. Daresay they are expecting it to be higher then.

So 11m shares up for grabs. See RNS. What's an accelerated bookbuild when its at home?

Where are they going?

This is definitely a share for those with strong stomachs. Like many I am locked in as my average buying price is way north of where we are now. As HKK has said this isn't acting like a top 100 share. There are a lot of players 'playing' at the moment. I think we will have a clearer idea by the end of the week where this is headed. Good luck all.

6 mins late!!

Thanks :)

What software are you using please?

Mando, what software are you using please?

Claire, I feel bad for everyone involved. Have held on all the way down in this bear trap. I am now out nearly five figures. Frustrating as I topped up on the way down :( At least its pulled some back in the last hour.

HKK Is this now or after April next year?

Thanks Charles. You should be DTs PR officer. The hospitality would be great. I know people at Berenberg. I’ll do some digging.

They haven't served them well over the past couple of months. The price has been allowed to balloon and now drop. This hasn't performed like a grown up share leaving it open to opportunists in both direction. A good broker should manage The City's expectations so there are few surprises. I have no concerns for the company going forward but their management of events has been somewhat lacking.

Oh dear. Just when I thought it was starting to act like a top 100 stock... Down 25 in a flash

Its in Intrepid's post

At the weekend it was announced Dark would replace Morrisons in top 100
All of a sudden tracker funds found they would have to buy in the market to cover their positions.
There aren't many available right now due to lock ins.
A pliable broker posts a 'research' note saying stock 100% overvalued
Panic ensues allowing 16 million shares to change hands on 2 days.
A raft of negative posters spring fully formed onto DT BBs
Price drops 20% in time for entry to FTSE100.
A good week's work

Normal service resumed tomorrow.

Will some of the lock in investors already have agreed to sell at a fixed price? If it is like last time where the price was at £7.50 - a discount of nearly 200p to the SP at the time, if they've agreed similar now then the latest shenanigans will make the selling price look attractive. The new owners will be keen to move north from there. Unless of course they've agreed a lower price in which case the buyers will be getting shares at a discount.

HKK commented yesterday that this isn't the way a FTSE 100 stock should be behaving. Someone else pointed out that at the moment the stock is very illiquid as only up to 27% at best is available to trade. This is how the MMs manipulate the PIs to leverage stock down to the price they can make ribulose returns on. It may be that this stock is only worth 650p - 750p and PIs like me have bid the price up. The thing is we're always being told that PI's don't make a difference and why would MMs etc bother paying people to spread fear and uncertainty in a group of investors who are not relevant. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it would help sometimes if they had some information to support them. I hope this settles down soon as unlike some investors on this board I came to the party late and am out an annoying amount at the moment. I can stand the loss but would welcome some stability - even at this level.

It seems this board has descended to the same levels as many others on LSE.
Be aware as Lending has said that everyone has an opinion and not even the 'experts' get it right much more than the amateurs. We have seen an influx of counter opinions coming to the fore now after the events of the last few days.
Some people are paid to talk stocks down and create fear. Some people are simply trying to cause panic in order to pick up bargains. HKK can tell you of a poster on the Boo board that spends all his time deramping and promoting Primark whilst never posting on that board.
There are others who are cheerleaders and make wildly optimistic predictions based on nothing at all. As with anything in life we all have to make our own decisions and live with them. If you think Dark is a good company and was faily valued when you bought it ask yourself has anything changed since then?

We will soon find out where this is going.
Some very big external players in force here and as HKK commented yesterday, not very savory.
Buckle up for some more turbulence.
Big boys have to buy in tomorrow but lock in ends as well.
Hold tight.
