boadicea you are right there is a gentle but constant upwards pressure on this share price. We must be due news any day now. Fils

Looking distinctly perky these last few weeks and the buying looks to be good quality funds gently accumulating. So I'm glad I stuck with it and averaged down as I am now approaching profit again. Serious institutional interest in a company of this size is a reasssuring factor.

Thanks SKYSHIP and Red Ninja - I will look that interview up. It is to be remembered that the Chief Financial Office, Russell Cash, bought four tranches of shares last year (valentines day)ranging in price from 102.5p to 105p. Total volume 19,605 I think. This was pre-Covid of course but not pre-notification of cost saving restructuring. Just think what may happen to the share price if they restore dividend - even to a lowly 3p per share for this coming financial year! I think these funds are seeing a strong investment case for investing in Flo at the current share price. Fils

Actually last published DSM NAV discount today is 26.56%, but it does tend to fluctuate.

DSM has not yet admitted it has a holding in FLO. The interview was for Downing LLP which has holdings for more than one Downing fund. However, I believe that could well be correct that DSM now holds FLO as it seems similar to one of their so called unnamed toehold investments.

I also bought in after hearing Judith Mackenzie talk about FLO, so far so good.

Personally bought into this after viewing an interview with the manager of Downing Strategic Micro-Cap I.T. (DSM). DSM hold FLO and also looking cheap at 60.4p on a 25% NAV discount - rather excessive for an investment trust.

There seems to be a quiet unassuming upwards pressure on this share's price. We are due a trading update for the year just gone surely. Some big buys. Fils

Late surge, I wonder if one of the tip sheets has tipped FLO.

[red ninja] 29/12/2020 13:18

FLO backed by Downing LLP.

Copy. I very rarely invest in companies with under £50m market cap. Whatever you call them! :)

What Is a Microcap Stock? The term "microcap stock" applies to companies with low or "micro" capitalizations, meaning the total value of the company's stock. A typical definition would be companies with a market capitalization of less than $250 or $300 million. I guess you can just call it a smaller company in the UK but £50 million is OK for me I do searches for stocks above £30 million at least you get some liquidity. The spread on FLO is high though typically 3p which is a sign liquidity isn't great for buying / selling

[edmundshaw] 28/11/2020 13:43

Microcap? I don't think of this company that way with 61,354,000 shares...

Big for a microcap, small for a smallcap at the moment. Even bigger in more normal times with a share price more like 140p... and at one point it was around 200p, which puts it firmly outside the microcap range.

[farrugia] 28/11/2020 08:56

there was a volume burst definitely;

creditcrunchies - I think I saw you mentioning that you have a list of favourite gold stocks - may I know which make your favourites? I like Centamin but need more quality names to diversify?

[creditcrunchies] 28/11/2020 01:50

I've often found the best pearls are stocks that have a decent product, there isn't much interest in them, the financials are OK, the share price is flat or sideways for long periods of time. You just buy, forget about them then boom the BBs get chaotic, the share price goes vertical very quickly so it's always something I check before I buy microcap stocks

[creditcrunchies] 27/11/2020 15:34

I've noticed some strange movement in share price in the past week or so as if someone is accumulating stock, where the price dip down early on then closes slightly higher. It's been creeping up slowly from the 72p ish level I was surprised there weren't any comments om here earlier. Two fund managers that specialise in 'quality' small companies have been adding. I think this could ping up to 120p

[mark_jm] 27/11/2020 15:32

such a sharp spike can only really be some kind of an approach, its not like they are doing cutting edge research and have had a break through or anything is it....

[thorpematt] 27/11/2020 14:46

Significant breakout from a chart perspective.
