Screen was seriously blue today. The share price is definitely being manipulated.

I think you might be referring to post from Volvo ?

"VOLVO - 17 Feb 2012 - 14:52:59 - 7637 of 7883
News for anyone interested we have a seller clearing a position. The price is being dropped to accomodate, hence the larger volumes.

WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ITS CLEARED.

Great buying opp for someone.......yes me, bought another 15k for the SIPP."

mega...re: forced seller, there was a post by someone (forget who now) a couple of weeks back saying that they had spoken with the House Broker..who had informed them of a known forced seller in the market.

It was about 2/3 weeks ago

[megabear] 07/3/2012 18:41

Always good to see directors dipping into their own pockets. There's no better sign.
Out of interest why have some mentioned a forced seller? Do we know that they are forced as opposed to just losing patience?

[waterloo01] 07/3/2012 18:13

lol. He's an interesting non exec to have. Must give some reasurance to the city over and above his potential direct contribution.

[broadwood] 07/3/2012 18:00

At least they'll have a full drinks cabinet now.

[waterloo01] 07/3/2012 17:54

nw, yes I know. But at £2.50 it's worth the risk.

[philo124] 07/3/2012 17:44

Good; if he steps down as ceo of dge perhaps he can help in a big way getting the share price graph of dge replicated here!

[blackberrydrop] 07/3/2012 17:41

Yep, he joined the board as a non-exec in January...

[nw99] 07/3/2012 17:30

[blue forever] 07/3/2012 17:17

or lose it,don`t forget this has been happening all the way down from seven quid!

[waterloo01] 07/3/2012 17:02

nw, and this disconnect is where one can make money.

[nw99] 07/3/2012 16:55

Yup everytime we see directors add we seems to see the share price fail to respond, shame because the co looks to be doing it all right but no one likes the stock at all.

[alaneanthony] 07/3/2012 16:37

Another director buy.That'll probably be good for another 1% drop.

[geheimnis2] 07/3/2012 16:31

[waterloo01] 07/3/2012 16:30
