Strolling
Well spotted. Just read it. Looks like they putting up a bit of a decoy. Will be paying more attention from now on.

Well that's a bit naughty, they actually reduced and that is where the fall came from, how easy it is to fool private investors when they fill the RNS out incorrectly

Actually I missed the fact that Vulcan has been invested here for a while, and held 7/8% in February:



They have a similar-sized amount of Forterra too...

Interesting for Vulcan to be building a stake here:

"We are value investors—business analysts with a long-term time horizon focused on purchasing publicly traded companies that are competitively entrenched at significant discounts to intrinsic worth."

Agreed, have been slightly wrong footed by the pullback but keep adding here and there

[m12rtn] 25/6/2021 09:54

To be fair i sold 12000 when the price dropped to 226 so have now bought back and all the indicators are extremely oversold.Two chances, will make a profit quick or over the next 6 months, who knows.

[daneswooddynamo] 25/6/2021 09:48

20m. And someone has of course been selling

[m12rtn] 25/6/2021 09:44

Thanks, that explains the drop whilst they were filling the order and nothing untoward happening with the company. Happy to hold then.

[scruff1] 25/6/2021 09:32

Yep. Postion before - nil. Position after 5% which is just over 2m shares of the 409.56m in issue Vulcan Securities based in America

[m12rtn] 25/6/2021 07:58

I honestly can't read these RNSs correctly, is this saying they had no position before? And now have 5% If so great, if not I don't understand the RNS

Where the share price is going, is anyone's guess.. I've stopped following.

[scruff1] 27/5/2021 22:20

By the way not many mortar mixes today are 1/3 cement. Old school that mate far too strong

[lefrene] 27/5/2021 12:24

Wad collector did you put up that gable wall that fell down a couple of days ago! :¬)

[m12rtn] 27/5/2021 12:19

Brick work uses mortar not cement fortunately, and is mixed from mainly sand, most cement is in foundations or precast products, won't affect bricks too much.

[wad collector] 27/5/2021 10:00

Most of my bricklaying is without cement, is that why my houses fall down?

[castleford tiger] 26/5/2021 17:43

oh I think its good news without a doubt

[m12rtn] 26/5/2021 17:35

Also builders will pre order to get price fixed now and stop the price inflation. So again good news.

[m12rtn] 26/5/2021 17:32

Well doesn't that mean that they can't make them fast enough? Well that has to be good news?

[castleford tiger] 26/5/2021 17:21

blocks delivery is now August.

Can you lay them only if you can get Cement

[daneswooddynamo] 26/5/2021 13:27

Both ibst and fort moving up today on decent volume

[wad collector] 26/5/2021 13:17

Material shortage headlines suggest not particularly bricks, which if correct is not good for IBST if projects get delayed by other material shortages.
