Aberforth increase their holding to over 44 million (13.55%).

Was under 40 million a year ago.

Dividend yield over 7%. And an interesting chart.

[tom111] 11/8/2014 10:44

We need a bid here the share price is so low must be in play

[typo56] 10/8/2014 22:16

Yes, wonder what tomorrow will bring. Seems a bit of a mess, if CE steps down with the COO/FD on leave until the Autumn. A good opportunity to kitchen sink me thinks!

[markie7] 10/8/2014 21:57

So, chadlington to step down, tomorrow apparently. That will liven things up a bit.

[markie7] 10/8/2014 19:49

From The Telegraph
Matthew Freud, the son-in-law of Rupert Murdoch, has built a stake worth almost £5m in public relations company Huntsworth.
The small-capper finished 5p higher at 50p, an 11.1pc gain, after disclosing that the PR executive owns 9.75m Huntsworth shares, the equivalent of a 3pc holding.
When asked about his interest in the business, Mr Freud told The Daily Telegraph that he viewed Lord Chadlington, the company's chief executive, as "a giant" and "one of the genuine founders of the industry" and that he had a "huge regard" for Lord Myners, who was appointed Huntsworth's chairman earlier this year.
"I recognise a decent PR business when I see one," Mr Freud said, adding that he saw the investment as "no more than somewhere between a punt and a hunch".
The stake-building follows recent reports that Lord Hill of Oareford, Britain's candidate for EU Commissioner, was selling his Huntsworth stake to head off any issues with his lobbying past. It is not thought that Mr Freud bought Lord Hill's stake.
Huntsworth, which owns the financial PR firm Citigate Dewe Rogerson, has had a difficult month, with the shares crashing 15.2pc two-and-a-half weeks ago after the group sounded a profit warning.
However, the stock then rallied 13.9pc on Wednesday in heavy volume, and yesterday there were suggestions Mr Freud is not the only investor building a position..

All we know so far is that Rock Nominees gained an extra 50k yesterday, just pushing them over the 3% declaration threshold.

Perhaps more to come tomorrow.

I've been out all day today but it looks like someone is keen to pickup stock in the closing auctions.

[markie7] 30/7/2014 21:57

or 8 weeks, if the timing of the recent director release is anything to go by

[typo56] 30/7/2014 21:47

You may be right. I assumed it was 8m, with both sides getting reported. Should know by end of week.

[markie7] 30/7/2014 21:31

324m shares in issue. 15m is about 4.6%

therefore it will get announced. as I said.

[typo56] 30/7/2014 20:53

Not necessarily. It looks like sale was about 2.5%. If the seller wasn't a major holder it won't get announced, unless it's a director. The buyer(s) could be announced, if they are major holders or have become one.

There was still quite a lot of stock being bid for at 45p at the end of the closing auction.

[markie7] 30/7/2014 19:49

someone bailed out at 39p. will get announced soon obviously.

[tom111] 30/7/2014 17:38

Big rise today nothing to do with the 15000000 shares traded I surpose? Whats going on

[tom111] 18/7/2014 17:56

all a bit strange here PR is zero I am hoping for a bid here to turn it round.Blue Focus are loaded so the extra money they would have to pay is peanuts to them

[madengland] 18/7/2014 17:13

Things looking decidedly fishy here.....how bad could this news be
