Man increased stake and the price drifts post consolidation on little volumn. No logic to the market movements of late, holding firm and awaiting trading news, who said trading shares was easy?....................................Off for meal with Mrs wbj, keep smiling all.......................wbj

That MAN holding....is that an investment or reflecting growing CFD positions?

[dan de lion] 19/9/2006 14:41

That 220,000 could actually be the selling that has moved the price down!

[cr4zyness] 19/9/2006 14:20

220,000 buy just gone in!!

[dan de lion] 19/9/2006 14:14

In the past notification that MAN group had picked up 2 million shares moved up the share price!
Must be worth me going in for 5,000.

Edit 5,000 at £1.092 purchased.

am I right in thinking todays fall represents nearly 1p old money on the back of nothing happening - I thought consolidation was meant to strenghten not weaken the price.

[dramatis] 19/9/2006 13:29

correct, they have added to their holding.

[nosuchthing] 19/9/2006 13:26

I assume you are joking Andy, but for those who may be confused as a result.

On 15th May MAN had 6.36% - they now have 7.47%.

no, they have consolidated like the rest of us. 5 X 2,032,000=10,1620,000

Currebt share price divided by 5

[cr4zyness] 19/9/2006 11:54

DAZW,

As previously posted go into transactions and sell on fridays date your whole holding, and then buy the whole lot back on monday (new amount of shares held).

That way you wont have a graph that looks like you have won the lottery.

PS dont actually sell your shares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought I better warn just in case!!

[c3jns] 19/9/2006 11:52

The consolidation has done wonders to my porfolio NOT one minute i'm sitting on profit i've come back off my hols now down over £800 cant be right......What is the current price in old terms please!!!

[dazw] 19/9/2006 11:44

Does anyone know how I do the adjust in my ADVFN portfolio? At moment sittng on a 250% profit. lol

[rrogans] 19/9/2006 11:24

tuftymatt - no I meant the falsely calculated extra from MPH was adding about 25% to my total.

I agree with gb2005 - the chart had a nice underpinned look about it (not that I am a chartist), and now in the absence of news there is a danger that it will drift.

Anyone have any views on what will be the next bit of news? Hopefully not the interim results (16/11), as was the case last year.

[ribton] 19/9/2006 11:17

Hi Llados,

No divi in my account yet, next week will do me fine though, thanks for the info.

Small volume for the drop here today. IMO must be short term, especially after FD purchase.

[gb2005] 19/9/2006 11:06

LB,

sure it will come soon. stay put. dust will setled perhaps quickilier as we thought.

EDIT:
sorry cr4zyness for mistaken you being on the short side.

[cr4zyness] 19/9/2006 11:00

Totally agree Lord and hopefully we will see it soon.

[lord buffett] 19/9/2006 10:56

Well Mr Morris now has the mandate to support the price/value of his shares at any point he sees fit.

I say 'his' shares as any drop will clearly hurt him more than anyone else, plus he's the one effectively holding the purse strings.
