Yes yump - hopefully Mr market will continue to believe what bab have said. Happy to have sold half of my shares above £8 as I was somewhat overweight here. Suet.

So it appears BAB had to say the same thing about their current and foreseeable trading at least 3 times over the last 6 months, before the share price reacted !

That was a close call. Hopefully the share price will push on this quarter

Didn't get kicked out of the FTSE 100

[dgwinterbottom] 30/8/2017 10:34

Is there significant shorts?

[topdoc] 29/8/2017 19:32

Cpould be out of FTSE by Wednesday close

I hadn't thought to do that comparison, that's re-assuring - a little - so thanks. I still cannot find anything overly worrying about the management, the product, fundamentals, level of short orders etc, all the stuff that outsiders like me try to mug up on (excuse the pun) - except the constant drip in the share price, so still whistling in the dark.

Since the election BAB is down more or less in line with BAe (including dividend) which suggests its overall uncertainty rather than a BAB timebomb

[bili1946] 25/8/2017 16:07

Interestingly some large buys today......

[topdoc] 25/8/2017 15:36

whats going on next week.it says trading update 24th september

Once there's been a few scary warnings eg. Carillion ! - the value stocks will all get spooked to some extent, on the basis that one 'value trap' has come to pass with dire consequences for holders. For instance PETS has had a bad time for no apparent reason, lots of shorts and after the recent statement its recovered off what looks like a bottom. I think if I'd been in here for a long time and had a profit to book, I'd probably book a chunk though. If loads of the persistent drops are actually because of forthcoming warnings, then stock values will be the least of our worries. My guess is that most stocks that are apparent value will come off the bottom by a decent amount and then the pundits and fund managers will start talking about 'value' and that the main market has gone far enough with the growth stock p/e's.

Feel a bit happier now I have sold 50% - not much fun watching the daily drip drip. But I still believe this is a sound company. Suet

[suetballs] 25/8/2017 10:32

Sold 50% of my holding - falling through £8?! Suet

[spoole5] 24/8/2017 17:06

This chart looks like there's a warning coming!!
