Yes my sentiments too entirely.

Great day trade last two days for those quick enough to spot the initial rise and volume, and then buy and offload pretty quickly.

Back to reality now.

Lol - it will put a rocket up the backside of the BOD particularly AH and realise his toff spin for a Long time does not cut it and Shareholder value is what all concerned and invested want. To deliver that end of - all this talk of inflection points does not cut much ice it is results and Shareholder value that matter

Part 1

AH's time has been notable, welcomed at the Pearly gates by Gabriel and a host of angelic guards but alas it was not to be, sent for a probationary period in purgatory without any definite leaving date (for having worked at the BBC ) has not been well received though his initial early years were full of hope. Lucifer having heard of his potential to devastate though not knowing what his real speciality was decided to recruit him, good looking guy nice set of wings you know perfect for temptation but how to recruit him? mmm

Yes good optimistic post.

Looking at CA and Thorntons it took them [CA] some while to sort I think from their initial stake 2/3 years to making their killing, this is just from memory and with JP while having their stake some time the noises are just being heard by us.

Mister - doubt shorts closing out albeit one hell of a short even just taking it over a year of share price - detailed in news:

Divestment news in the offing at latter stages to buy bonds at a steep discount

Or

News of CA meeting - take your pick - personally the latter - the former was just JPR's reiterated response from the Interims - had to smile we do not know why the massive share increase of yesterday - perhaps they don't - perhaps they should have stated prior share price is ridiculously low and the market re assessing the potential in the light of Broker reterated target of 160 pence - never took notice of these before - 20 times current price usually just gets a mention and little market reaction lol

Someone nearly paid 19 pence today - classic MM share price suppression - wide spread mopping up shares and a fair tree shake certainly. Some chunky buys coupled with the massive volume yesterday - my comment on this is forget stop losses on these I have no doubt the MM can see them - mopping up on automatic trades. Major investor Cystal Amber - was that meeting yesterday? According to the Guardian - they have a great track record extracting value. It comes down to an activist investor to basically say enough is enough. This is really good news. Obviously are tired of AH's inability to deliver shareholder value - his record is woeful. The meeting CA will know what they want and will have a game plan already in place. Will they have a BID lined up? Bearing in mind as far as we are aware they has been no Instituitional selling - crossing thresholds at least and the last selling were leading up to interim results. So perhaps none of the Institutional investors have bought under this level - share price was 14 pence day before Interims. Said before too much combined Institutional money at massive paper losses not to back this and with CA leading the charge - expect holding RNS's and perhaps something resembling a low ball BID to get us started. AH and the board will be under massive pressure to deliver real shareholder value not just paying lip service to it while taking the massive salaries and bonuses for abject failure over the course of their tenure. Looking better all holders particularly the old guard - fair few posters on LSE now - so many avenues and variables to consider - Buying bonds heavily discounted by divestment - activist CA and Institutional backing and MM certainly playing this if there was ever a case prior to transformational news. Any balanced views - GL all

been in auction for ages 13-13 v. odd

[mister md] 14/9/2016 16:28

perhaps yesterday was just some short positions closing out ?

[glenkaz] 14/9/2016 16:24

😱 weird!

[phil1969] 14/9/2016 14:00

There were 3 buyers on bid100,00025,0005,000A total of 130,000 compared with just 10,000 on offer. A little test AT trade of just 800 to make the jittery think their has been a 6.7% drop then MMs start to reappear on the offer. 100k buyer will either have to raise the bid or go match sellers on offer.

[glenkaz] 14/9/2016 13:59

Nasty shake😬

[phil1969] 14/9/2016 13:35

MMD. I suppose betting the house on it is a little strong. Maybe a good sized shed. Price drifting back the 15p offer paid for the 1.2m shares yesterday. I wonder what the client has set as the max buy price for this afternoon or are they going to take a breather to see if they can get in cheaper.

[mister md] 14/9/2016 13:25

You'd be mad to "bet the house" on anything

But will be interesting to see if we get a flurry of buying activity into the close like yesterday ...

[glenkaz] 14/9/2016 13:25

Big Finnish 😋

[phil1969] 14/9/2016 13:05

For anyone who believes in the 1 trade, news coming?Holdings in company?CA ups stake?What impact would this have on share price if it was the case?Why would CA up stake, I'd say at these levels and if you knew the business inside-out. You'd be mad not to bet the house on it.

[glenkaz] 14/9/2016 12:00

She's on the move IMO! Gonna be big afternoon! Buyers back 🤑

[glenkaz] 14/9/2016 10:37

Ok mr ed I'll be quiet! Good luck! 🙃

[mister md] 14/9/2016 10:24

just let it run up slowly, perhaps back to 40p level it was at earlier in the year as a good initial target...

we don't need a rampy board, you just get too much volatility then (look at CLP for example)

[glenkaz] 14/9/2016 10:10

Not many posting here or Lse yet share price up and holding at 100% in 2 days!! Only X 10 to go for target lol! So who's buying 🤔 And why🤒

[glenkaz] 14/9/2016 09:58

Are we going to rise to a new high this week and buying frenzy at close! Yum yum 🤑

[ianio5691] 14/9/2016 09:49

A lot of nice delayed trades being reported 18.96p paid for 60k.

Getting a second wind now.

[glenkaz] 14/9/2016 09:23

We need a bit more volume great start 18p hopefully we'll move back up as some have taken a profit! Be interesting if we finds like yesterday! Gla!

[tightfist] 14/9/2016 09:08

Mally,The RNS talks of no "operational or corporate" reasons for the share price move. However, clearly Disposal negotiations are progressing and we could see announcements there at any time.The market thinks something interesting is going on.....
