Value of the shares in treasury now about 36 million quid.

I read recently, can't remember where, on a company with a large discount to NAV, that somtimes you just have to wait and the takeover will come.
Joe Public thinks a low price and high dividend yield means everybody else knows something he doesn't and like a stopped clock he will be right sometimes but how many clues does he need. Directors buying, company buy-backs, 10% yield, surely one day soon someone will pick up this gem. I'm biased having bought a lot over its long recent slide but come-on Joe what are you waiting for.
2025 forecast eps 8.5p
trailing 12months book value per share 115p
Directors holdings 27.2%

Generally miniscule sizes, but yes, nice to see the latest one a little larger (c.£71k on Monday).

[gemlotte55] 05/12/2024 14:49

See directors are buying, thought I'd follow them.

[mwj1959] 03/12/2024 17:22

Can't access that. Can you cut and paste it? Thx

Seems to have bottomed out around 81p.
Growing 9.8% dividend yield paid quarterly. with diversification in UK, Spain and Australia. A real bargain due to sector being out of favour which is totally over done, in my view.

I think that most people know the answer to that question already petersinthemarket, as obviously do you.

Saddo is right :-)

[petersinthemarket] 22/11/2024 11:51

Everyone downticked, except Nelly. Wonder why? Saddo.

CWA1, I thought your handle was familiar. Good to see a divi on Jarvis, shame no trading update as last year. Assume waiting for the glacial progress of FCA still.

[melton john] 14/11/2024 12:02

Thanks for the chat gents. (I shouldn't make that assumption)

[cc2014] 14/11/2024 11:21

It would take me a very long to comment on how the order book works but rest assured that many of the 'o' trades are at some level institutional or from wealth managers.

Further not all retail are reported as 'o' and some you don't see at all as they are reported on exchanges we can't see.

[cwa1] 14/11/2024 10:51

Yes, absolutely, we all sit on a sliding scale from folk at the start of their investing life who are trading a few £100 of stock up to folk that spend £100,000's of stock and beyond. And then there are institutional trades that are clearly a magnitude higher again. As long as we all make a living, or earn a crust, it's fair game!

[melton john] 14/11/2024 10:19

I suspected you were in a different league when you referred to my 20000 as a small trade. I'm just a retired engineer trying to top up my pensions and only started 25 years ago trying to see through the smoke and mirrors. I understand some brokers will give DMA access but probably above my cost threshold, I just use an execution only low cost broker.

[cwa1] 14/11/2024 10:01

Respectfully, plenty of private investors place orders on the book too. Myself included. So a LOT of my trades go through as ATs-but not sure what, if anything, that proves. Would be interesting to know what percentage of trades are by private investors using DMA though!

[melton john] 14/11/2024 08:50

I'm glad you asked and you are right there is no certainty but I asked a similar question once and was told that most institutional dealings are done by directly placing deals on the order book using Direct Market Access or via their house broker using DMA. These show as AT on the list of trades on ADVFN so by inference the 'O' trades are handled by a Retail Service Provider (Market Maker). This certainly appeared to be the case when I used to have Level2 access to the order book. I gave that up when almost completely investing in AIM stocks which don't use the SETS order book system and you are mostly limited to trading with a Market Maker. Hope that helps.

[cc2014] 14/11/2024 08:31

Can you explain why you think they are mostly retail trades. I think you may be mistaken. There's no flag which says trades are retail and most trades to my mind are not placed by retail. Thanks

[melton john] 13/11/2024 11:45

Indeed you are right, it's on the main market and very liquid but looking at trading on the LSE site it shows that the majority of large trades are off order book retail trades in spite of the large discount to NAV. What it suggests to me is that a large number of small investors are being scared into selling. If you've ever played cards and bluffed with an less than ideal hand you'll know what I mean. Mind games are part of investing.

[cwa1] 13/11/2024 11:11

You should almost always be able to sell small lots like that at above the bid price, unsure what it suggests or proves though?

[melton john] 13/11/2024 11:00

I can sell 20000 at above the bid price. Somebody wants to buy the assets on the cheap??

[mwj1959] 13/11/2024 10:11

29% discount to latest NAV. Share price down 16% from recent high and now at a new all-time low. At 80p a 10% yield.
