Well it has taken only a few trades that total just over 48,000 shares to go up alomost 6%. What would 200k of buys do now?

Indeed chrisdgb and I see some more friends of the directors are buying into the recovery,

Seeing there are very few shares in true free float, any heavy buying could soon see this double or more maybe.

Updated software on its way, and this could even attract a trade buyer at a much higher price, which would return the lastest major holder a huge return on his relatively small investment.

This could be a good punt for those with a grand or two as it is not liquid and the MM will not often take more than a couple of thousand shares if your a seller.

"'Important moment' as interest rates cut to 5%

The Bank of England's governor said a decision to cut interest rates is "an important moment in time" but warned people not to expect a sharp fall in the coming months.

In a closely-run decision, rates were lowered to 5% from 5.25% on Thursday, marking the first cut since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.

Interest rates dictate the cost of borrowing set by High Street banks and money lenders for the likes of mortgages and credit cards.

Bank governor Andrew Bailey said that lower inflation had paved the way for the fall in interest rates but told the BBC it was "not mission accomplished yet".

He said policymakers needed "to make sure inflation stays low and be careful not to cut interest rates too quickly or by too much".

Interest rates have climbed over the last few years, as the Bank has battled to control soaring price rises.

The higher rates have put pressure on household finances, although returns for savers have improved.

The fall to 5% means that homeowners on tracker mortgages will see an immediate reduction in their monthly mortgage payments. Those on variable rate deals may also benefit from the fall.

But many homeowners on fixed rate mortgages still face the prospect of much higher mortgage rates when those deals expire over the next few years.

There are hopes that falling interest rates will improve consumer confidence, which has been subdued.

Rupali Wagh, co-owner of Tukka Tuk street food in The Cardiff Market, said the interest rate cut has made her feel “hopeful” as it will eventually lower the payments on her business loans and means some customers will have more disposable income. ..."

Hedgehog wrote in his last post

"In the meantime, I am now going to the "Post Office Injustice" thread to tell people there that this person is 'The Paula Vennells of ADVFN'.

And I may also start a specific thread on the subject: e.g. "Clocktower Injustice: 'The Paula Vennells of ADVFN'".

They have let the lunatic back repeating his posts that are nothing to do with DSG.

Not that this dog is waging it's tail anyway.

[clocktower] 03/7/2024 15:50

Down the drain again today and back to it's former lows.

However the lunatic on this thread posts nonsense about other stocks that have no connection or bearing on DSG, I do not see his point in doing so.

[clocktower] 21/6/2024 15:33

Over 30,000 buys on AQSE that are not showing on trades, unless you have L2.

Life in the dog, I guess it must be because of your following A L S.

Have good weekend.

[clocktower] 21/6/2024 15:11

LOL - Maybe its a happy place to be, and maybe you have knowledge of the place, so tell us more A L S. 🤣

[arthur_lame_stocks] 21/6/2024 14:20

I reckon the chances of this getting taken over are about as high as me spending Christmas on the psychiatric wing of Pentonville prison.

[clocktower] 21/6/2024 12:18

You maybe correct A L S.

However, I am in with a fair number and will not be selling, as there could be a takeover at some point, and it takes very little to swing the share price in either direction.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 20/6/2024 22:29

I'm not sure why you're bothering with this clocktower, I really don't see any upside.

[clocktower] 20/6/2024 15:34

My guess is that the directors would like to see the share price fall, so they may issue shares in exchange for the cash that was loaned by some of the insiders, which was in effect a covid recovery loan of £400k over and above that of the government loan that has been and is being paid off at the rate of £30k a month. This debt has now reduced considerabley I reckon.

However, if my memory serves me correctly, this loan pays 10% interest pa. so if the share price drops, they are able to issue shares in payment at or around that level I guess.

If this occurs, one has to question if a few friends have been selling to help the share price slide. Of course the directors would not have known anything about why this is possible and would not want to see such a fall.

So if they do this, maybe the very same sellers will become buyers in larger numbers, as the accounts will benefit, as debt will drop to a very low level imo.

DYOR - This is just me guessing and I do not suggest any wrong doing by anyone, as even I had considered selling as I was guessing when I saw the resolutions being voted upon.

The company complains of softening markets but the defence industry is crying out for skilled personnel. It is reported that there are over 37,000 vacancies in the industry, so why is DSG unable to obtain contracts from agencies that recruit in this sector?

The space industry is another sector that has a large number of small businesses that require highly trained engineers and software developers but what is DSG doing for this high growth business to obtain the skilled staff it needs?

It seems to me that they have and are failing to recognise where the potential and growth markets lie.

12/06/2024 07:00 RNS Regulatory News Dillistone Group PLC AGM Statement LSE:DSG Dillistone Group Plc

"Annual General Meeting statement

At today's Annual General Meeting ('AGM') of Dillistone Group Plc, the AIM quoted supplier of software and services to the recruitment industry, Giles Fearnley, Chairman of Dillistone, will make the following AGM statement:

"We are pleased to report that trading is marginally ahead of management expectations for H1.

"The market remains challenging and, if anything, has softened further in Q2, with fewer recruitment firms currently prepared to invest in new technology, and existing clients often reducing in size.

"While the Group expects therefore to see revenue fall, it remains confident in its ability to deliver satisfactory performance for the full year in line with management expectations." ..."




Well done to DSG for performing well in challenging market conditions.

This bodes very well for its performance when market conditions improve: which, with the UK recently having emerged from recession, and its inflation rate recently having dropped to just 2.3%, should be relatively soon.

Note that improved profitability on reduced revenue clearly equates to improved margins, a sign of a strengthening competitive position.
