the volume looks healthy (19m shares today) I think thats a positive.

7.1 percent shorting is lowest level this year. It was 10 in January. The cost of shorting on an annualised basis was 100 percent with the ri. That's dropped to 20 according to the ft (I don't have that info for today as I'm not set up to short - does anyone else out there?) That is an expensive position to hold so can't see many people wanting to carry on shorting. Like borrowing from a loan shark. Given the change in price for shares looks like shorts are coming to an end. Hard to say if that'll be a short squeeze. It's not the huge percentage it was but could push the price particularly if others decide to start buying.

seems shorts were increasing as share price dropped to 15p. it stinks. are we due a big short squeeze then you think? how are they able to close share price didn't stay at 15p for very long.

Needs a variety of skill sets here. Rita will no doubt adapt to what is required as she has in previous positions changing with the market. I think we'll see some good changes. It's certainly in her interest to boost up the company as most of her pay is in shares to hold long term.

Nothing good in todays RNS's IMO

Selling assets to pay down debt has not been very successful

Selling more will get harder in todays markets

Losses IMO look set to rise

Will the company try to sell themselves outright ?

A Dividend should IMO not have been paid as gearing has gone up and losses per share are big, the chart says it all AVOID

[bolador] 01/10/2020 09:10

Yes, but is she lucky ?

[keithlorna] 01/10/2020 08:48

Rita-Rose was appointed for her business acumen. With an outstanding track record working with multi billion pound companies.

[williamcooper104] 30/9/2020 19:25

New CEO - great - but - she's not a developer - and that's what hmso really needs now

[s34icknote] 30/9/2020 16:53

Was lucky sold on day sky news broke the rights issue rumour .

[researchcentre123] 30/9/2020 16:34

Well done sicknote. Your timing I would think is perfect. Certainly cheap now. Sadly I hung in there.....not my cleverest move but give it a few months and I would think this should be very good

[s34icknote] 30/9/2020 16:28

Am back since selling in old money at 60pBought at 16pToo many director buys and lighthouse not be in And new management

[researchcentre123] 30/9/2020 12:08

I looked her up before. She's clever. Think she'll be making some major changes.

[sr2day] 30/9/2020 10:11

give it time.this will be back to 100p in a couple years time.i have only 20k at the moment but will buy more when it starts moving up.i will buy more when it breaks 25p.

New CEO.The lady likes a challenge no doubt but she must have made a very informed decision before deciding to take such a risk with her career.
It would be wonderful to see a halt to the seemingly endless capital destruction that Hammerson has been responsible for !

On the face of it this is a very good appointment for HMSO but the level of disappointment with this company is so high that it has barely raised a flicker of interest.

[keithlorna] 30/9/2020 09:00

Anyone pleased with the new appointment? It's all gone quiet

[researchcentre123] 28/9/2020 21:15

Mason I think that's a problem with all shares which is why I think fundamentals and long term are the best way forward. Of course if someone is capable of trading sentiment and countering computers that are doing the same spotting trading patterns, they have my respect. As I don't have that skill I prefer a longer term view as you lose less on commissions. Of course your hard assets probably have lower commissions still but I do like a working business

[researchcentre123] 28/9/2020 21:09

Bolador I think you and I both made some money last time round on this when it went from 38 to 140 (altho the shares were pre-rights). You've done well not to buy back in sooner - am afraid I did after it dropped quite a bit but still think there's big upside on this especially at the current price. Like in your story, the big change is the management moving from incompetents who milked the company for all they could to someone who has put in millions and will get it back only by making it work. So I'm in on this. Just a question of how long it takes the world to see the real value. If you look at De Beer his shareholders have done very well in his other companies resilient and lighthouse. I think he knows what he is doing.

This is not the live market trading anymore, this is algorithm computers trading,and problem solving by a computur on behalf of the brokers and 1% of the rich, A1 stock trading software Quantum computing resrved for the richest is a new game for those in the know, 99.9% of the world population is unaware of this.taking pennys of the top day in day out.

NAV 104p, thanks. It seems no one believes a word of that except Lighthouse and pals who probably cannot believe how this saga is turning out. The sums look enticing but they nearly always did from the nav aspect, it has been a siren call to follow the logic but if now is not the time then ...

Years ago I followed a share that owned coal royalties in Oz that once belonged to Anglovaal. It seemed obvious that it was a winner in the making but the shares fell to 7.5p and dawdled below 20p for ages despite the fact the RIO was the chief royalty payer. The majority of the royalty was owned and set by the state of Queensland and APF 's share followed when the rate was raised. But the market could not see it until one day under new management it twigged and the shares eventually ran to over 300p in the following years. They are 115p today what with coal not being so popular and run off of the reserves. There is no similarity between HMSO and APF except the denial of logic applied to their historic valuations. But then the saying goes roughly "the market can stay illogical longer than you can stay solvent". I think I will have a dabble tomorrow anyway.

RNS Norges Bank. at 3.29% holding now.

[researchcentre123] 28/9/2020 14:12

104p came from Hammerson itself back when they proposed the rights issue
