Short version. All the reported sells and buys is just taking the trade value and showing if it's below/above midpoint of the spread. The issue is that for every buy there is always someone on the other side of the trade. So for every person selling there is someone buying so these reported sells and buys are meaningless - it's just reporting an exchange of shares. What moves a share price is are the people buying willing to buy at higher prices and vv. So the correct analysis is where is price going and is it going in that direction on volume ie there is an institution willing to move he price

No holding Rns is 100% bolx. There is no way in the last 6 weeks that one major shareholder has neither increased or decreased by 1%

This endless analysis of buys and sells is meaningless - it doesn't work that way

Shows the power of twitter and pi followers

In the auctions throughout and at the end of the day large blocks have been bought. The share price has fallen because sales have outnumbered buys. GHF's twitter post didn't help yesterday just as the price was starting to recover.

How could someone be accumulating serious amounts into a static/declining spThe dark arts ?

This is the previous CFO. If he's taken up a new position, he hasn't updated his profile yet:-

Interesting line from the admission document

"The service agreements of the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer will be terminable by Film Finances at any time and by the Executive Directors on 30 days’ advance notice, with or without “cause” or “good reason” (each as defined in the service agreements)."

If he wanted to go, there's not much the company could do

Not true of all stocks Dave. Another holding of mine - EML - does not seem to be suffering from a lack of buyers. That closed at an all time high today - hardly any selling there, still under the radar and about to break out. I have noticed some serious accumulation going on here at FFI so I would not rule out a management buy out.

It's the market not FFI

I've got a load of profitable stocks on my monitor and some are cash rich and they are totally friendless. At least FFI has buyers as well, some of the stocks I watch have not seen any buying for over a week. One stock I hold worth 11.5 mil has over £5.3 mil cash and made £1.5 mil and paid a 5% divi and it's at lows and still nobody touches. It's not me tipping that because I'm not going to name it but as a example to how bearish the penny share market has become in just 2 weeks. Nobody seems willing to chance buying a stock once it's rose a small amount from lows and that to me is a sure signal of a bear market. I hope xmas brings the usual rally

you can see where the previous cfo moved to - on linkedin

[trotterstrading] 18/10/2018 18:58

I'm not saying there will be a Mgmt buyout but you can't rule it IMHO. Does AIM really know how to value a company like this? Maybe they don't like what they've seen on the AIM so far(and who can blame them) All I know is the CEO is a lot poorer since IPO (on paper at least).

[ronwilkes123] 18/10/2018 18:54

What i meant was what the previous poster said if they want to take it private if they wait till after jan they will only have to pay 80p

[tsmith2] 18/10/2018 18:49

I'd take a £1

[ronwilkes123] 18/10/2018 18:42

Remember as another poster stated the 12 month share price high rule for takeover - I wouldn't think over a pound would be wanted if this does go private

[ronwilkes123] 18/10/2018 18:40

The one guy who could give another qualified viewpoint is pieric He doesn't seem to be about today

[tsmith2] 18/10/2018 18:39

also why would the company sack the CFO, the profits warning was down entirely to industry headwinds..nothing to do with the CFO.

[tsmith2] 18/10/2018 18:37

Also the CFO stepped down to pursue other opportunities - that's not a rarity, he will probably afforded a better package elsewhere..simple

[tsmith2] 18/10/2018 18:35

basically, they weren't going to give you anything more than what's out there in the marketplace.What's wrong with promoting some one from within? a lot of clothing at straws and supposition..been private since 1950s, will have been embarrassed by warning - aren't really based for companies being taken private, are they?

[tsmith2] 18/10/2018 18:30

So if you don't have a CFO on a board straight after the departure of one it makes you automatically a candidate to be taken private?also, I'm still not sure why buying a share which you intimate will issue a profits warning (with the share price falling as a result) make it a good buy because this would mean the company is increasingly likely to be taken private - why not just wait for the profits warning and buy the shares cheaper and a greater likelihood of making any sort of return..

[thechurch333] 18/10/2018 18:24

Obscure - I guess I’ve been called worse...

[ronwilkes123] 18/10/2018 18:02

To be fair he came on here to explain his post - his twitter is in the name of an obscure investment professional of many years not many would have heard of

[eentweedrie] 18/10/2018 18:00

Point is that ultimately you should make your own decisions based on undiluted fact, npt on hearsay.

[trotterstrading] 18/10/2018 17:52

Takeover panel rules state when a person or group acquires over 30% they must make a cash offer for all shareholders at the highest price paid in the 12 months prior to the offer, so I don't think the offer will come until Jan so the offer price falls to c.80p

[ronwilkes123] 18/10/2018 17:49

The way he's articulated his point regarding the cfo not on the bod and the posters experience make me inclined to believe him
