Latest LSE Posts

CRV up 32.65% in a week, a well known investor taking a 26.4% stake, Desmonds needing a NAV increase by the end of the month if they want a fee, Saudis in talks, the refusal to re value assets, dubious write down of Pressfit, talk of 1.25p as fair value, potential take over........

Any yet nothing, but nothing has got "us" even one line of press, either print or online, yet any way.

As I said to a good friend this morning, imagine the share was the likes of Standard Life and you were invested, what would you be doing......

Pure manipulation Chumpster

I took the 200k this morning and limits are improving as the morning goes on

If they are trying to panic PIs into selling, does it mean they are short of shares, Evan is still buying, or both?

[chumpster10126] 07/5/2015 09:23

What is the point if advertising/setting a buy/sell price, when you can buy under the mid-price, so it shows as a sell? Pure manipulation of the market.

[karina] 06/5/2015 14:32

Thats how I would see it Chumpster. If Evan is planning on reaching 30% thats still a lot of shares to find. I think we will see all sorts of fun and games whilst they continue to work his order

Quite how they are keeping this out the press and off the radar is staggering !

[chumpster10126] 06/5/2015 14:10

I see the Market Makers have lowered the buy price. I'm guessing it's their intention to show buys as sells?

[karina] 06/5/2015 13:36

Maybe he is, but with his holding and with just one other tear sheet holder blocking the bid then I think he is safe, for now.

On the other hand an offer of the fabled 1.25p nets Mark £2.2m....... I think he would be happy with that for 3 and a bit years work....

An RNS from CRV..... I am not sure they know how.....!

[chumpster10126] 06/5/2015 13:28

Karina, do you not think that Pajak should be worrying about the potential of a hostile take over from Evan? Can we expect an RNS from CRV?

[karina] 06/5/2015 13:16

Mark Pajak "When using our shares as consideration in acquisitions, this year we have once again done all deals at a price of 1.25p per Craven House share, a price significantly above our average share price during this period. This reflects the shared view we hold with those companies in which we have invested, which is that our share price has been, and remains greatly undervalued."

Very hard for him to accept less surely.

[chumpster10126] 06/5/2015 12:40

They're always late! They don't like to engage with shareholders unfortunately. But, this has the hallmarks of a hostile takeover written all over it!

[karina] 06/5/2015 12:23

RNS

Evan is now the majority holder, and by some margin....

212,891,536 26.43%

The most immediate question to me is whether Mr Kalimtgis will continue buying if the price is in the 0.4s or higher. He could decide to pause and wait it out until he can buy at 0.38 which will probably come again if he stops buying and CRV continue the news blackout. Either way I'm confident that if you hold from here you will do very well with patience. He certainly hasn't bought this amount without a plan, how long this takes to materialise is the question.

[karina] 04/5/2015 15:49

Simply unbelievable skill and manipulation from Mr Kalimtgis, and no doubt his team of brokers, in accumulating a vast amount of shares Karina. They knew that lack of news from CRV (premeditated..??) would result in many PIs either losing faith or bored witless would therefore result in sells, and they eagerly snapped them up. How many times have I posted that the MMs wanted shares? now we know why.. There has also been a distressed seller, they waited and took those too!! Very clever people.. What happens in the future will happen, but quite literally anything could happen here. Many false dawns as we know, but this does look poised in my opinion.

[karina] 04/5/2015 15:49

LSEFridays limits did indicate that there is more buying to come or the MMs are short of shares, lets see what tomorrow brings. Evan and his broker have played a blinder to get as many shares as they did at 38 and below without drawing any attention. Not a single mention in the press or online of the stake building in CRV this weekend, I find that staggering. I note that CRV have not updated their tear sheer as yet, do they know its going to change again?!

[karina] 01/5/2015 14:54

Just undertaken some research on Evan. He is not a director of any UK, US or Canadian Company as far as I can see so it seems to confirm this is his own money that's being invested.

His last directorship was a company that is involved in -

1. The export of organic beef in Africa
2. Coffee export which I never knew, but its production goes hand in hand with macadamia nuts
3. Offices are in The United Arab Emirates.

Again I am sure this is all mere coincidence......

[karina] 01/5/2015 14:53

Max online is currently 35,000 shares or £168......

They would have to honour 150k at 48

[mortimer7] 01/5/2015 14:39

I see that now Karina. I just tried a couple of dummy buys a few minutes apart and can't even get 150k.

[karina] 01/5/2015 14:14

Thats all you can but Mortimer, max online quote is currently 35k so people are using the NMS to buy.

Bit of press over the weekend and........

[mortimer7] 01/5/2015 14:01

Several buys in the last half hour. Smallish, but buys. Interesting watch this...

[spazzz] 01/5/2015 13:49

Poised .....

[karina] 01/5/2015 13:41

No online buy quote and sell well above bid

Would have to be a 150k order at 45 to get some currently.

[bwilder2] 01/5/2015 11:50

There might be a hidden Gem in our portfolio.This company has got its finger in a lot of pies,

[karina] 01/5/2015 11:22

He is not far off the majority shareholder now Chumpster.

Whatever his motives it can ONLY be good for us PIs

Almost disappointed that Monday is a holiday ! Almost !

[chumpster10126] 01/5/2015 11:19

Mr K....takeover territory with over 18% shares now held in CRV?
