I encouraged my partner (female) to buy a nice little pile at 74p. Would not have done that without feeling pretty sure that the price will go up, as she reacts seriously unfavourably to downward trends.

[malcolmmm] 03/10/2018 14:47

With the new drug launch these have got to be worth at least 120p imo

[malcolmmm] 03/10/2018 14:41

[cheshire man] 03/10/2018 14:39

Certainly brought the buyers in :-)

I am holding for more upside

Nice Article in The Times about APH's newly licensed anti-sickness drug, should bode b well for a good start with sales. Share price, already up nicely, should harden from hereon.

[rathean] 03/10/2018 12:58

That's me top sliced, opportunities elsewhere potentially offer quicker rewards. Putting the rest into my long term pot, eyeing up 120 next year imo dyor ofc.

That depends on the NMS for the share Normal market Size
The bigger the trade relative to the NMS, the longer they can delay reporting it - I think the longest is 3 weeks. You can google for the allowed delays by trade size

They can also delay with LSE permission if disclosure would make trade execution unlikely

APH has an NMS of 20k ......If a 1 million trade were to go through the LSE it would be 2-3 weeks before they reported it and it may have been in progress for longer than that !! By the time you see it on ADVFN......it was all over long ago hence no price moves

[wetdream] 02/10/2018 18:19

Thanks.👍
I guess that's why large trades often seem to have no effect on the sp?

[marksp2011] 02/10/2018 17:21

Contra is a buy and sell of the same stock for the same amount. It can be paid for in the spread or just as a fee...... If you were transferring a lot of stock between two accounts you own you can sell from one and buy in the other. the trade parties are related

You will either see two trades in the ADVFN "?" column for the same quantity or they can both show as buys or sells depending on what the market price is when the transaction is entered

Sometime you see prices with many decimal places - so say the price was 72.2/72.4
you might see 100000 @ 72.256786 and another same size deal at 72.256731....
0.0000055 x 100000 was the fee for the transaction. Sometimes you see it SB/CFD rollovers too

How do you spot them....... by eye or sometimes they actually put it in the trade type
(rarely). If it is a round number eg 200000 they can be very hard to spot

[wetdream] 02/10/2018 16:22

marksp2011,

Always willing to learn.
'Contra'...?
What is it and how do you spot that?
🤔😉

[marksp2011] 02/10/2018 11:36

Look before you post :)

the 212 trade is a contra - both sides of the book

[wetdream] 02/10/2018 11:07

213k sold at well below bid.

[wetdream] 02/10/2018 10:50

Bit surprised at there's been no Holdings RNS yet, given the recent volumes.
Anyway, good news this am.
As someone said earlier...'APH getting back to what it does well'. Tried and trusted, but oft neglected or unavailable, medicine launches for the UK.

[dround87] 02/10/2018 10:33

Actually it'll be the figure for England and Wales extrapolated to also cover Scotland and Northern Ireland. Not that it matters!

[dround87] 02/10/2018 10:28

It'll just be last year's figure. The NHS release them so it'll be on the money. You can't say it'll be the same every year hence approx.

[nw99] 02/10/2018 10:21

Still very oversold on the chart

[tomsnell] 02/10/2018 10:12

'affecting approximately 751,923 women in the UK each year,'

Yes not the best wording! The point is that prevalence is based on a modelled estimate. Should really read 'an estimated 751,923' or 'approximately 750,000' though.

[mazarin] 02/10/2018 09:58

Good product addition for a widespread condition and nice to see APH getting back ‘to what it does’ well. ‘Bring it on’ I say and lets recover from the recent ‘panic attack’.

[malcolmmm] 02/10/2018 09:46

Looks like the buyers have returned, Oct can be volatile but I can see the share price recovering somewhat.

[marksp2011] 02/10/2018 08:39

I am smug :)

[truemuppet] 02/10/2018 08:23

yes it reads oddly pope, I guess they were deliberately specific to underline they have a statistical basis for the figure whereas 'around 750k' would have sounded like a make it up and hope guesstimate...
anyway all good
