so this a reply to the 3rd edit to your post at 8:24thats the point, its not difficult to see things in advance of others, its all too easy..the point is while there was some brief suspicious trading in the usa a few weeks ago, the MOST likely reason for the slightly unusual uk trading is ftse reshuffling relatedthat does not rule out a takeover, they can both be true, why is that so hard for you?itv trading over the next weeks is going to be like that, its basic stuff, you should know that if youve played in that arena lolconceit knows no bounds apparently

[stansmith3] 15/6/2021 20:37

lolthats four times, how about sticking to it this time?broader? open my eyes?when itv were demoted from ftse, volumes were significantly higher than what we have seen and 240m were traded on one day, so before your eyes pop out your head when that happens again, you might want to remember thati think though, you just see what you want to see, but no need to tell people they are blinkered or need a broader view because they dont see every large uk trade or poxy us trade as part of a takeover

[stansmith3] 15/6/2021 19:06

unfortunately its more likely to be ftse reshuffling relatedbut hades does like to dream

[hades1] 15/6/2021 18:40

Well the London volume is dire again although a trade of 1,451,555 @ 130.04 was reported at 14:19. I mentioned a pull back of 5-6p from Monday's high and I think we've got that already which was a bit of a surprise, lets see how we go this afternoon.

[nige co] 15/6/2021 13:20

Let's see what the volume is over the pond today.

[hades1] 14/6/2021 16:54

Volume in ADRs kicking up in US.
92410 or 924100 UK equiv.
Unlike Friday there is wide spread with limited trading liquidity.
Just observations but all very different to a few months ago when the average daily volume was less than 5k.

its still all related to volumethe spread wide or narrow or price high or low is irrelevant when 300 adrs are traded per daywhen volume is 100 times normal everything is then relevant and worthy of scrutinyas i have been trying to impress upon you...

[nige co] 11/6/2021 20:43

Stan, if I'm not mistaken last month when there were high volume of ADR's traded, it was on large spreads up to $1 Dollar spread, so today is different.

[stansmith3] 11/6/2021 19:00
