Thanks Alphabeta.

Btw persumably the dollar strength against the pound is a significant help here. Could be another reason why it's holding up so well and testing new highs in an otherwise weak market.

[alphabeta4] 24/9/2020 12:48

From experience tends to take three days to show up although personally I was a bit surprised in this case that Monday's cut in the short position was showing yesterday. Perhaps they have up to three days to advise their change in position above the 0.5% threshold?

Thanks lomax, this is the one operated by Castellain Capital. Assume 'date changed' is the same as the date of trades to close or add to shorts i.e. with no time delay needed to update the system, but their caveat at top leaves me unsure, not that it matters in the scheme of things.

Yes, very interesting Alphabeta. Only short tracker I'm aware of is Castellain ....are there any others please? FUTR nadir 10.00am Monday of c1766 rising to c1894 close yesterday, >7% movement on day.

Just noticed Coltrane cut 0.13% 21/9 to leave 1.86% short. Interesting, perhaps they though Monday's market drop was an opportunity to cut their Future exposure. Still lots to go :)

Fair point about effectiveness, doesn't mean they will not try to ease their exit.

[alphabeta4] 16/9/2020 10:40

Good luck investing, a nice trade either way. lomax99 I did wonder on that but having had two already I do wonder what can be said that hasn't been covered already? Kind of starts to lose effectiveness.

hTtps://www.nber.org/reporter/winter05/lamont.html Recall of shares loaned out possible at any time. Risky, especially if business model not fully understood.

[lomax99] 16/9/2020 09:35

Expect another anonymous short seller attack, never letting the truth get in the way, shortly......

[investing2retire] 16/9/2020 09:31

alphabeta4 i decided to sell this morning at 1920.its risen a lot and will look to buy again on next dip.made over 50% and my best trade so far this year

[alphabeta4] 16/9/2020 09:19

Picked up on your question investing but felt it was too tough to call. Normally broker targets can be a good bet but the short interest tracker is showing the shorters are still unchanged. https://shorttracker.co.uk/company/GB00BYZN9041/ How much longer can they last? Coltrane look around 100% underwater and still have c2% on shares in issue left. I wouldn't be wanting to report to investors with those sort of numbers. There would seem the possibility funds and investors knowing the shorters position could try to force the issue (not quite a Volkswagon 2008 position but same sort of principal). Why should they sell if they know the shorters may need to buy?

[investing2retire] 15/9/2020 13:03

looking like £19 will hit soon.fingers crossed.does anyone think £20 is likely or time to take profits.i bought at 11.80

[alphabeta4] 11/9/2020 13:09

Berenberg £19.20 (£16) just to complete the set! :) Why did I not add even more at £15.94? Looks a gift looking back. Must be hurting the shorters, volume c900,000 last 3 days (short interest tracker has a 3 day lag) so they're either being very determined or look stuck.

BARCLAYS RAISES FUTURE PRICE TARGET TO 1900 (1500) PENCE - 'OVERWEIGHT'

DEUTSCHE BANK RAISES FUTURE PRICE TARGET TO 1,900 (1,690) PENCE - 'BUY'

Kuvari Partners increased their short by .08% on 7/9/20, taking their short position to 1.52%. Short interest overall is reported as 4.98%. Expect to hear more from the anonymous report brigade shortly. Not that FUTR has been backward with regards to M&A, but expect this to resume shortly as the group continues to de-lever. Their recent non-exec appointment, Mark Brooker, should be able to assist, apart from a number of senior corporate roles, he also spent 17 years at Morgan Stanley focusing on equity capital raising and M&A.

[investing2retire] 08/9/2020 08:24

I was hoping to top up in 1600s but zooming up now!

[nimbo1] 07/9/2020 17:02

If I were short I certainly would not be adding to the position.

[ramridge] 07/9/2020 10:35

Shaping into a platform business that is exactly right for a post COVID world. Excellent management in place. I built a 6% portfolio position in march '20 at an average 860p . There is a lot more in the tank in the future (no pun intended)

[lomax99] 07/9/2020 08:49

If they start to close we should shoot past your £18.60.....

[alphabeta4] 07/9/2020 08:47

lomax997 Sep '20 - 08:34 - 2336 of 2337 0 4 0 Short interest in FUTR is at 4.9%, hope they are enjoying the ride! You do have to wonder on a potential short squeeze; they seem to have been fairly resilient until now albeit Coltrane and Capeview seem to be dropping back a little.

[elmfield] 07/9/2020 08:39

Many will top slice, Not I, in for the long term.
