Most bids trade at a small % discount. to the bid price.

Not because people don't expect the bid do go through, but because of the time value of money. If this whole process takes 6 months to complete, and the cost of equity is 10% a year, that implies investors want at least a 5% discount.

I'm not a fan of short selling (using an investors shares against their interest), but I am not sure that there is massive short selling going on here. From the middle of last year to now the notifiable short positions have dropped significantly, although there have been a couple of up ticks recently. The whole games industry is in a tough spot after over investment after the pandemic. Layoffs and games cancellations (seemingly most weeks) mean less business for outsourced companies. The share price is pretty stable and I don't expect a massive movement either way. It has hit my buy price but I have decided to invest at the moment in MTRO and 888 as they are fundamentally mis-valued due to historic issues. I may come back to KWS later.

Sceptical, if he's sold and he buys back, he's made money if he's a professional shorter of stock, not open to the likes of the retail investor.

ali, I'm conscious (like most here I suspect) that I am not a qualified financial adviser so can only give you what I do for you to make up your own mind.
I have a personal rule where I won't go above 12% in any one share and typically will hold around 25-30 at any one time. I am a full time professional investor of 7 years and have found 25-30 personally is about the limit I can handle. So my average position is around 3.3%.
If I go above 12% in one I will just top slice it to get it back under and use the cash for something else. This has been the case for companies like Futr which I still think are fantastic but I have made more than 10x my initial stake.
If I have something which I see significant upside but I only hold say around 8% then I will add and push towards my 12% rule. Basically I want those where I see the greatest return to have the highest amount in subject to the amount of risk if it going wrong.
For KWS I had held c6% of my portfolio on it and added to take myself up to c8% on the update. FWIW I note it would be around £39-40 if valued on the same basis as September representing significant upside, albeit that can be said for lots of companies in the tech sector right now! IMHO the EBITDA guidance also looks very undemanding so this may prove conservative with the net cash for acquisitions adding further opportunities for upgrades.
Good luck with what you choose to do, I think there are no hard and fast rules but the above has worked well for me.

if i have been investted foer a long time and i have bought/added several times, there come a time when it's not worth it to add any more once the share price has gone up quite significantly- am i right in this from investors familiar with this matter

...from last year...

Keywords Studios PLc plc issued interims for the six months to June 2021. Top line revenue growth was strong rising 37.6% to €238.7m in H1 21. EBITDA was stronger rising 55.7% to €40.8m. Profit before tax was stronger again rising 97.3% to €21.9m. And EPS was strongest of the lot rising 119.8% to 20.86c. Valuation is not cheap, forward PE ratio is around 44, very expensive for the market as a whole, just about middle third for the high growth Software & Computer Services sector. Investors shouldn’t expect any multiple rerating higher, but with EPS growth reaching 100%+ rates, returns should be strong anyway. And given the commercial performance KWS is delivering, the probability of downward rerating is relatively low. BUY....

I just want to understand how and why it is getting cheaper -this used to be commented upon as valued to perfection and I know recent results were stellar but share price volatile- how does one establish which uk tech companies are value vs growth-from investors with insight please!

Interesting company with a pretty staggering revenue record - lots of add-on acquisitions of course - and a pretty impressive shareholder roster. But not a lot of comments here having been a real pi favourite a few years ago. Sadly that means that there is very little research available to the private investor, though I see some 14 brokers follow the company I can only get Edison on Research Tree. Stockopedia was indicating Eu479 revenue and Eu54mn net profit for this year. After the 10mn issue last year the company should be OK for cash for a while. I suppose the burning questions are any negative impact on the games market as the pandemic recedes in developed nations and short-term the news from China on a crackdown on games companies though I know not how this may affect them.But if Keywords is starting to see margins improving at operating level the apparent high cost of entry might not be so intimidating. I am guessing that the share price weakness today is just short-term traders getting out on the good news.

The placing is not that negative per se but it comes after a sharp upward move in the price.The sale was made by someone who knows the business well and decided that the end of April was an opportune time to sell,an opportunity cost decision.In this instance,a lot of investors will simply think “well ,you know better than me mate,i guess the stocks a bit pricey”.On the other hand,the stock was placed and those long term holders might look beyond an irritating swift 8% drop in the price post the placing and buy on the falls.
