I don't really want a bid whilst the price is so low, I believe shareholders will get a better return allowing the company to trade.

Was thinking bid news, just rebought in this morning and I already have about a 10% gain, makes up for staffline that I lost on and sold

bid news? contract? something is going on !

Not sure why the big jump in volume but a huge gap close on the chart upto 15p.

That holding RNS a bit messy but L@G have reduced by 4% from 21M to 12.7M
9.97% down to 5.99%
Plus a few more million since then. RNS up to 9th Jan

I still think the IP is worth the share price alone!

Things seem to be moving in the right direction. In again. 3rd time lucky?

[wageslave] 15/1/2020 10:47

No stock around atm.

[mesquida] 15/1/2020 10:45

Legals selling, no surprises there, but who is the big buyer ?

[mad foetus] 15/1/2020 10:31

Huge gap 11-18 so could move very quickly

[stuart37] 15/1/2020 10:31

Small top-up at 10.15 (showing as a sell).

Breakout at last

[tomv33] 15/1/2020 10:14

My buy appearing as a sell

[bazworth] 15/1/2020 09:57

Doesn't take a lot at my age & when the Golf Course is closed!!

[mad foetus] 15/1/2020 09:51

Quite exciting!

[bazworth] 15/1/2020 09:29

Great to see him/her persisting again this am!

Tee heeeee!

[mesquida] 14/1/2020 21:31

This buyer is persistent. One might imagine that he is now getting fairly close to the level where he will have to disclose his identity.

[bazworth] 14/1/2020 18:35

Well it certainly, and sadly, had nothing to do with me!!

[beeks of arabia] 14/1/2020 17:54

That looks like an II to II trade.Matching a seller and a buyer.

[bazworth] 14/1/2020 17:30

And then 2 x 2M delayed buys! Something may be afoot!

[bazworth] 14/1/2020 15:28

Strange isn't it that we have a sizeable chunk of activity yesterday then nothing today!

[mad foetus] 13/1/2020 14:28

Mes, don't doubt any of that, and a couple of buys at 9.8 indicate the penny may be dropping: hope so

[mesquida] 13/1/2020 13:28

Not really, mad foetus, you should start thinking more in terms of FTC's ongoing profitability minus the losses from the division that has just been sold, and then put that on a PER of 20 so as to reflect the obviously above average growth prospects . Think you will find that 20p would appear to be a fair price, and that is without building in a premium for a possible takeover ( more than a possibility in my view, given that the Board control such a small percentage of the share capital ).
OK, Legals are selling down, but do not assume that they know more than the rest of us, I suspect that their selling is the result of a new non micro cap exposure approach, and therein lies the opportunity for us private investors who are not hamstrung by Trustees's meetings and the constant need to appear to have been wise ( after the event ! )

[mad foetus] 13/1/2020 13:10

Agree though buying at 10 looks brave in the short term

[mesquida] 13/1/2020 13:09

Yes, definitely somebody is a serious buyer ( or given the shapes perhaps there are two buyers ? ), but obviously Legals are still supplying the stock. But they are not stupid, they will surely try to feed into a rise rather than smashing the momentum, and of course one day they will no longer have enough stock to satisfy the market. This stock could just turn out to be one of 2020's best performers !

[mad foetus] 13/1/2020 13:01

And....we're off again
