Noted Kestrel ceased buying and may have ceased when Director became aware of the approach.

135p average to close deal imho. Cash.

Was a leak from a single source with little exposure.

convenient and smells to me.

Post Friday moves suggest it was an attempt to take out some stops. A hamfisted attempt.

Don't know but have to wonder about the rumour about a sale of the company. It appears dodgy with hindsight. Who benefitted?

Am expecting some corporate activity this year and ideally sooner rather than later as year will become harder as it grinds forward.

Very low volume sub 90p. 82@20. About 1240 total sub 90p.

Inexperienced or attempt to take out stops but someone was also selling Friday and letting stock into market.

Why do you stay hanging about then as over years all the price has done is return to where it came from on a long round trip.

Hit a nerve then?

Predicting a daily close blue before market open illustrates a certain lack of experience.

Changes in the market TIG addresses are profound and some of the sellers probably get it. I'll just observe from now as experience is gained.

Good luck, I wish you well.

Today?

So far the only question is "Have you been to Specsavers?"

Sometimes a company might engage a service like ED for a fee, not totally independent analysis. Sales can then take place as retail buyers step in on the back of the paid for report. Do you think that may be the case here?

Best be a skeptic.

I don't think a bid will arrive imminently but looks ripe to me as recovery takes hold.

Until a bid arrives.

Thank you Laura

The busier the message board the cruppier the share price only improving when posters give up and last bull sells. A way to go.

Why has the CEO suddenly decided to exit?

Looks like it will have problems remaining relevant a few years from now. Changes disrupting its overall market. This sell-off is more than just due to the recent news and it will have a hard time climbing back as it's business begins to come under threat. My 2c.

What will the bill to STB will be for the commission claim. Thought they had managed to reach 1.1% of the market but it was a smaller share in earlier years. So possibly £500M of sales at 1%-3% commission at its peak, perhaps. I'm looking at £10M for the peak year and lower for previous years but all in a big number for a small company when all costs are rolled into it too.

Nah, price says this is it for a loooooong time.

Desperately seeking a buyer but all becoming more commodity and cheaper.
