There is alot of shorting going on. Sadly think the shorters have been doing quite well out of the strategy...........
Another one I hold -Lavendon has tanked on no new news -wonder if that's on someone's short list.

At least one hedgie is shorting it

I think this is a top quality company -so I'm a bit puzzled by the fall. Maybe the next update will provide some reassurance.

Not looked strong for the last 100 mornings, rathlindri! Paper gains all evaporated. I imagine it has been more than averagely hit by the China downturn. Who knows if this is the bottom. Are there any other features specific to this stock which have further contributed to its fall?

looking strong this morning

All the directors with options at 17p sold - about half a million in total - so presumably that goes some way to explaining the drop post div (they would want the divs!)

[meijiman] 26/3/2015 11:43

Yes that did cross my mind. Market is poor today. This is a quality company so worth accumulating.

[toffeeman] 26/3/2015 11:30

Price should have dropped by 30p and it has gone down by 52p

So in theory it's a buy at this price.

[meijiman] 26/3/2015 09:57

Yes of course its gone XD....

[meijiman] 26/3/2015 09:56

Not sure what's happening today. Probably linked to pound/Euro. But I'm becoming a bit more encouraged by signs of improving underlying growth in Euroland.

[toffeeman] 25/3/2015 16:06

Depends - if the market discounts it then any drop should be short-lived but of course we can't have someone selling today and buying back tomorrow at a lower price once the div is taken into account else it would be free money!!

[rathlindri] 25/3/2015 10:07

this goes ex divi tomorrow, should probably expect a drop in the sp?

[toffeeman] 24/3/2015 14:30

Yeah I am used to talking to myself

[rathlindri] 24/3/2015 10:28

A bit of a "sleeper" perhaps this one below most ppl's radar. Nice quiet BB

[rathlindri] 05/3/2015 10:34

Nice recovery from the post results dip

[rathlindri] 26/2/2015 08:21

Agree. Looks okay

[toffeeman] 26/2/2015 07:13

Well I am happy - let's see whether the market is!

(Pleased to see another extra div - means they think that if they can't use the cash in the business then give it back to s/h.

Will look more carefully later

[rathlindri] 25/2/2015 09:30

results tomorrow.... are we feeling confident?

[toffeeman] 19/2/2015 11:39

There we go 770!

[rathlindri] 18/2/2015 21:02

decisions, decisions... :-)

[toffeeman] 18/2/2015 16:04

Or sell at the double top and buy back lower?
