Anyone else get the feeling a bit of pump n dump is on the way? Takeover rumour / share tip ?

[clocktower] 12/7/2016 13:31

Big volume increase today and seems to be on the up, has all the overhang now been cleared?

[spob] 12/7/2016 13:30

Yes but there is currently a big red flag here


When an auditor is not prepared to sign off accounts and the company has to get a new auditor in, and then they have to delay the results you know good news is probably not on the way.

It suggests to me there may have been something fishy going on. Obviously can't say for sure. I'm just speculating at the moment.

So until the new results are released and approved by the new auditors, any figures previously released by the company are currently meaningless and cannot be trusted.

Well that's just the way i see it.

Just my personal opinion.


So I wont be touching these until those results come out

These could be the bargain of the century - who really knows ?


We need audited up to date figures that we can trust.

Until then it's purely guesswork.

Looking worse by the day!

Looks like a lot of Stop Losses have been triggered.
That report in the Telegraph is almost identical to the one in the Mail and will have been the result of a press release by SGI.

SG seem to be trying every PR exercise to get their shares up. Presumably for another placing to deal with that debt mountain.

Wonder if the Mail are getting a hard on for Stanley Gibbons like they do sometimes for other listed media sensitive listed companies?

Those that got and sold the stock at a huge profit might,if the market was not so depressed would be buying them back at this price I expect, maybe they are!

[deanroberthunt] 05/7/2016 10:07

took a while but nearly there, at the price the privileged few managed to get in at....but is it cheap enough!

[hugepants] 02/7/2016 17:17

Better day on Friday although I think there is still an overhang of shares. You could buy at the bid price yesterday and in previous days.

Some reports suggesting the arts/antiques market may be helped by the devaluation of the pound ie. more attractive to foreign buyers. May help Stanley.

Sadly no date for the results:

So, can we take it you won't be posting here anymore?

And to think, you were so keen.

You won't be reading this, since you filtered me. Right.

I assume its Richard Griffiths continuing to sell down. He had 12 million left at end of May.
What price did he pay?

16 months ago the shares were at £3!

[gbh2] 29/6/2016 21:15

I emailed last week and asked when the results were due to be released, no comment as yet !

Erstwhile I needed cash to top up my main holdings after the market crash so sold out here for the moment.

[hugepants] 29/6/2016 20:09

Just realised the final results don't need to be out till end of September!

Looks like large seller(s) want out at any price. They may have lost so much already they are not too bothered what price they get.

Looks hugely cheap to me at this level especially since they are targetting to cut annual costs by £5M

[deanroberthunt] 23/6/2016 07:30

I wouldn't buy this with Ted Bundy's money.

[2magpies] 22/6/2016 22:43
