Previous known short Qube Research & Technologies creeps back above 0.5%. Most likely due to them hovering below declarable level at 0.49%, and with share buy back programme reducing overall number of shares, pushing them back to declarable level.

Didn't think of that, thanks C_G.

There's been a suggestion that as stock has reduced, it's bushed their percentage up a fraction into a reportable figure, or perhaps they're optimistic 0_0

[ptmorris1] 07/6/2024 22:33

Is it me but why would Cube want to short a stock in this potentially great position?

GoassDoor review of Qube Technologies.

Buy they did make £11.4 million profit last year 🤭

Pros

The pay is competitive and the lack of management or controls offers you a lot of flexibility into doing pretty much anything you want. You won't get fired even if you perform dismally or don't even bother showing up to work. They'll hire you even if you have red flags and other quant shops wouldn't want you.

Cons

Incredibly toxic culture, management only cares about maximizing their own payoff and this permeates everywhere in the structure as years go by. Retention is very low and only the original employees benefit from the structure. The fund relies on a couple of key people but isn't doing anything to genuinely change that despite saying otherwise.

Could well be, good point.

% risen as less shares in the market after buybacks?

Indeed it does. And there just may be a reason for that. Meanwhile it keeps the traders away. I'm more than happy about that.

[radfordp] 07/6/2024 16:45

Well well,

I was expecting abit more volume and share price upwards movement than that??

GKP always refuses to follow logic!!

[redbed] 07/6/2024 16:24

Peel and cannacord are market makers.The stabilisation program pre takeover would have been known to them for months prior to its announcement.This is all stage managed.They probably bought a few million off retail march /April, may.And now selling them to the company at a profit.Lol

[shortsqueezer] 07/6/2024 16:17

There will always be a few sellers for whatever personal reasons but they are getting less and less. All LTHs will not be budging. Nor will the Instis. An intriguing impasse n'est pas ?

125000 shares controlling the share price.bonkers when you think about it. Good but bonkers. Who do these shares come from is the question

[shortsqueezer] 07/6/2024 16:03

If so he has chosen a very apt username lol

[redbed] 07/6/2024 15:57

It does appear that 125k a day is the diet.That's 5 0r 6 days on the trot

[ptmorris1] 07/6/2024 15:57

Does No_Luck work for Wally-Eye?

[habshan] 07/6/2024 15:54

RED - "65,000 and 20,000 at 138.2."

And a 40,000 at 139.2 just reported.

There's today's 125,000.

[shortsqueezer] 07/6/2024 15:38

I know you've only been here since November but even you should know it's not the first meeting. Idiot. Filtered

[herbertsmithfreehills] 07/6/2024 15:32

It's being held by peel hunt and cannacord , who are both market makers.....and are armed with 6.5m more bucks buying power.The company is OBVIOUSLY sold..It's not a buyback....... FFS... .... Its a stabilisation program PRE the most obvious incoming takeover in stock market history...... Check the FCA handbook re MAR

[herbertsmithfreehills] 07/6/2024 15:32

The company is obviously sold TBAThe rest is a side show

[no_luck] 07/6/2024 15:30

138 to 112 may be a good deal. the first meeting will not yield any results.

[petebreeze37] 07/6/2024 15:29

Be good to see another large buy back today.

[shortsqueezer] 07/6/2024 15:19

Here we go :-)
