Million. Sorry I use this convention (K for Thousand, MM for Million - a mixture of Roman and Decimal M is 1000 in Roman so 1000,000)

[lucas buck] 22/8/2007 16:14

v,

Is that 3.94 million or does the MM stand for marketmaker?

[smelgy] 22/8/2007 16:09

..........hasn't the on-loan figure come down slight from 8.81 to 8.3% ??

[musashi san] 22/8/2007 16:06

I don't really pay it too much attention to be honest mate... I don't know how accurate they are.

Plus, if it has increased it's probably small time punters rather than insti's. The trades figures and the share price rise says to me there's an awful lot of iterest in this stock on the long side.

[anotherguru] 22/8/2007 16:02

what do you make of the increasing on loan figure ms?

[leadersoffice] 22/8/2007 16:02

Lets have some fun in the last half an hour :)

I've just done a bit of analysis on the days trades again, stripping out anything below 10,000 shares (PI noise), and the results are as follows -

Buys - 589,910 (82%)
Sells - 130,382 (18%)

[v01101999] 22/8/2007 15:54

how come the stock on loan figure is increasing even after these moves. Market Makers running short of stock?

I have noted that MMs have also increased spread. On L2 you will find

Yellow Strip (116/117.75)

LAND - 115/124 (9 p)
WINS - 115/123 (8p)
MLSB - 114/125 (11p)
EVO - 113.5/120.5 (7p)
ABNV - 112.25/121 (7.75p)
KLWT - 111.50/123 (11.50p)
KAUP - 111.25/122.75 (10.50p)
UBS - 110.25/121.25 (11p)

There was time when most of them were within 5 - 7 p. It seems MMs do not want to sell anymore and are looking for PI sellers. I think something is underway and I am not sure how old is the information about stock on loan but that should see a drop very soon with a big spike upwards in this stock.

stock on loan figure now shows 3.94 MM shares on loan. Would love to see that covered in these markets.

[chesty1] 22/8/2007 15:37

good old battle going on at the mo...

Very nice to see.

[musashi san] 22/8/2007 15:33

Yep, seems we have a buyer, but someone doesn't want it any higher for now, hence the auctions.

But, if the buying continues there'll be no choice but to rerate higher.

Still think there's a good chance we'll see over 120p today.

[armitage_sink] 22/8/2007 15:26

115p/119.25p

[anotherguru] 22/8/2007 15:25

a few more holdings rns's would be nice.

[anotherguru] 22/8/2007 15:24

still going to be a bit of a slog i think.

[armitage_sink] 22/8/2007 15:19

now in auction (117.75p 117.25p)

[armitage_sink] 22/8/2007 15:19

117.75p 117.75p

[wookie77] 22/8/2007 15:19

looks like you'll be well above 120p lads.

[anotherguru] 22/8/2007 15:18

the will be back, as soon as this drops a penny or two!

[webgremlin] 22/8/2007 15:17

Smelgy went long instead! :-p

[gooner6] 22/8/2007 15:08

Close of 120p?

[musashi san] 22/8/2007 15:05

We should be due a breakout of this trading range at any time...

[smelgy] 22/8/2007 15:02

........notice that there must have been some short-closing, as the amount out on loan has dropped slightly.

[smelgy] 22/8/2007 14:41

.........I'm not a chart expert by any means, but I calculate the next resistance point at 124p.
