Let's get the Type 31e ball rolling. That will make the shorters run.

Defence procurement must be a priority now surely. Any sign of reduced military capability will just encourage Russia to push on with their aggressive policies, causing more misery and risking further escalation. The defence review needs to make a clear statement IMHO.

Good to see several days of positive share price movement north. ...Hoping to see BAB's reach out to £7.50 ++ over the forth coming weeks.

Ignore him. First he has to give us some rationale why. He won't because he isn't intellectually capable of it.

ptonks is a plonks!

"Plain to see this company is being taken down."

Are you being serious?

Plain to see this company is being taken down.

In answer to 'What next?'. Perhaps a celebrity to present the friendly 30-second-news face of any business that the public are even remotely wary of. As long as she's attractive of course. I can still say that in public can't I ?

It seems the short level skyrocketed recently when Capita but the dust (Carillion too)

Thanks alter ego. BAB shares are very underrated - just a matter of time, imo!

[alter ego] 17/3/2018 23:15

Alan,nothing to do with your settings, just advfn deliberately corrupting any link to another financial site by changing the http bit to hxxp

[alanr1] 17/3/2018 21:21

I will try that next time, thanks. Usually copy and paste the link, works on all sites apart from advfn! Must be something to do with my settings. BAB will go higher IMO when the shorters realise shorting BAB just doesn't pay :-)

[alter ego] 16/3/2018 22:34

alanr1, try posting the middle letters as caps, ie hTTp rather than all caps. Never had a problem doing thus.

[alanr1] 16/3/2018 21:12

I think all will be ok and BAB will rise to a good valuation. I'm in profit, very small at the moment, but I am sure that the BAB shares are very good value at this price!

I don't tend to monitor shorts but 7% seems massive.
Factor in cumulative for additional shorters sub .5% holdings and it is likely over 10% for all shorters.
If you consider that most shareholders are LTH's that means shorters are dominating and no doubt manipulating the trading market, making a mockery of the share price as being "market" price.

[alanr1] 16/3/2018 19:26

It doesn't look like the shorters are unwinding their positions from the site I visit. For some reason I cannot posts links successfully on advfn (they work on other sites) but I will try: hxxps://shorttracker.co.uk/company/GB0009697037/ It happened again, I type in HTTPS but when I post, it reads HXXPS! If you copy and paste the link and change https to https, it works :-) Perhaps more people are seeing value in BAB, and buying!

[dave whitby] 16/3/2018 16:48

Could shorters now be unwinding their positions?

[dave whitby] 15/3/2018 16:42

Highest closing price since 01/02/18.

[andrewbaker] 15/3/2018 09:43

It's starting to move up again, after some pretty poor publicity one way and another: some of its own - tough trading etc. - and some due to worries about businesses reliant on government contracts. The non-exec director buy is helpful, though not a massive deal by any means. Cutting head count also helps (though not those cut, sadly), whilst the numbers look ok overall, with a good covered dividend, which hopefully will sustain and help protect the price. If it moves back above 700p before too much longer, then I'll relax more.

[minerve] 14/3/2018 13:32

Maybe in the not too distant future they will get work under the 31es????

I agree. Skills down the tubes. But the UK doesn't want skills, it wants moronic delivery drivers!
