Downing Strategic Micro-... Share Discussion Threads

Looking at the graph, the Questor tip effect is largely out with price levels back to pre tip levels.

Noticed it had gone back to 62p bid yesterday & wondered what all the 70p+ buyers - of whom there were many - must think!

[robow] 01/8/2019 14:48

a couple of large buys did the trick

Good trading update from Volex, second largest holding :-



NAV stll increasing at 74.17p while the share price goes down.

[spectoacc] 26/7/2019 08:26

Clearly some are a day behind with their papers. MMs still making out with a 5p spread.

Latest Nav 74p

[tomboyb] 25/7/2019 13:48

Are those share buybacks -

Looks like more money wasted -

Who trades at a premium no nav in these market conditions -

NUTX -

Nav is 72p! -

Why would anyone buy this close in NAV is nutx -

Thanks @robow. Interesting that she's "highly experienced" but still pumped £5m into Redhall! Investor letter from yesterday is full of apology and "won't make that mistake again". Shouldn't have made it in the first place.

Buyers still getting in well under NAV but MMs are really stitching them - early buyers at 68p, 69p when it was 61/64 yesterday pm.

more than a mention.

We won’t advise readers to follow suit exactly for fear of burdening them with too many funds. But we have already tipped R&M UK Micro Cap and Henderson Opportunities, so will now add Downing Strategic Micro-Cap, which Mr Greenwood said would complement the other two well.

The Downing fund is highly concentrated and has suffered a couple of failures among its holdings. But Mr Greenwood said this was now in the past and the manager, Judith MacKenzie, was highly experienced.

This relatively new fund has traded at a premium for much of its life but is now at a discount of 14.3pc.

Questor says: buy

Ticker: DSM

Share price at close: 62.5p

[spectoacc] 25/7/2019 09:36

Possibly a mention in Questor in the Telegraph, but not registered so can't read it.

Spec -

Need to filter me as i'm not going away from this p.o.s. -

[spectoacc] 25/7/2019 09:26

Not much on here once @tomboyb is filtered :)

Some keen buying today - tipped somewhere? Seem quite keen prices when NAV c.72.5p.

[tomboyb] 25/7/2019 08:12

What nutters are buying so close to NAV -

Crazy -

[red ninja] 24/7/2019 18:11

Nav rises again.

Note, in July letter Dsm apologises for redhall.

[tomboyb] 24/7/2019 12:11

Why this is still above 60p is beyond me -

[tomboyb] 22/7/2019 10:31

rns out -

chairman retires -

[tomboyb] 22/7/2019 09:39

Iliquidity over hols -

Works both ways up and down -

Expect this to go down on thin volume -

[tomboyb] 22/7/2019 09:18

Collapsing -

I think discount to NAV should be at LEAST 25% -

Its clear it is too close to NAV -

[tomboyb] 22/7/2019 09:02

Further falls to come -

7.5K sold below bid on Friday -

MMs have no appetite for more shares to be sold -

[tomboyb] 19/7/2019 16:26

Selling below bid -

Not a good sign -

[tomboyb] 19/7/2019 15:22

Should be looking at 25% discount top NAV -

Currently 12% so need to lose another 12% -

[tomboyb] 19/7/2019 14:36

Down she goes -

[tomboyb] 18/7/2019 10:55

Should be 50p -
