Interesting! A 1.228m sale has gone through at 13.27 at £5.216 and has made no difference to the share price rise!

Many people think in binary. As in: share price not performing, therefore break it up. There isn’t necessarily a sound reason.

If the business contributes to profits and can be managed well why do they need to get rid of it at all?

Please name parts of the business you think are surplus to requirements.

There are currently 39m shares held by shorters. So how long will they just watch the share price rise without closing their short position? With a Market Update due on the 25th September, which is likely to be positive, BAB's upward run will only continue.

Great stock for recovery, glad I took advantage of recent weakness. Just one to tuck away for a few years, excellent dividend too.

(STX) another of my ones to tuck away for years, rock solid safe haven play dyor as usual

Terrific counter trend move in BAB today closing at 511p the highest since 20 May . Chartists and relative strength aficionados will love this .

One and 3 month relative performance (vs FTSE All-Share) is circa 11% , quite impressive , 12 mths still minus 26% . Breaking 500p on decent volume , very painful for the large short position . Difficult to see an overseas bidder as contracts with armed forces qutie sensitive ....... but who knows we have not blocked a takeover for many years .

Always interesting to see how the identity of the posters changes between the way down to what looks like a bottom and the period of 'quietness' while the share price moves horizontally before starting up.

Is making money as simple as monitoring the number and nature of posts on the way down and then waiting for a quiet time.

What is the probability of major shorters NOT employing anyone to post on the top boards ? Of course it may just be that a lot of posters are sheep, so on the way down its far more credible to post doom, just as on the way up it is to post positive stuff.

PETS had a similar pattern. INTU and SAGA will be interesting to monitor.

Could we get back above £5 - he says in a whisper.Oh for the heady days of £10 plus.

Aye, onwards and upwards, banked a nice divi recently, now capital growth, one to tuck away!

[dave whitby] 22/8/2019 21:15

So why have the shorters gone quiet? £5+ very soon!!
