I'm in just bought some for my ISA. Looks like a great long term 1-2yrs investment

[salpara111] 24/10/2013 13:25

Still think that there is a stock overhang and that every time it gets close to 160 it will get sold down.
I am very long here having taken a large second tranche at 144.5 primarily as I dont see that their prospects are fundamentally different than when the share price was at 200p.
Hopefully the next update will help it move back through the 160 level.

[dlewis1] 24/10/2013 12:28

Looks like there is a sell off in recent days. Was thinking it was on the way back up but keep heading down.

These Bot algorithm trades do make it difficult for private investors to make decisions, but when you look at the holdings hardly anything has changed.

They did this to Premier which has trebled in 3 months as they change tack. Lloyds was/is also a big algorithm stock.

Not much you can do about it as it's all legal - you just have to make your own judgement and wait.

Hopefully they will change Tack soon. ;-))

[costapacket] 22/10/2013 16:23

Alas can't see as on the move but I'll take your word for it. I'm poised to invest here. Would like to see it break 160p first to confirm the trend

[isis] 22/10/2013 16:22

It certainly looks that way.

Just look at the amount going through - not real trades.

[costapacket] 22/10/2013 16:20

isis - Are they pinching a penny here and there?

[isis] 22/10/2013 16:18

AT/Bot trades still running the show here I'm afraid.

Traffic seems to be fine according to Alexa though.

[costapacket] 22/10/2013 14:18

Looks possible blippy, hopefully another push later to break through...

[blippy2] 22/10/2013 13:53

Some resistance at 160p perhaps?

[costapacket] 22/10/2013 12:11

Looking like a good call Billy

[costapacket] 22/10/2013 08:58

Thanks Billy - looking at the recent sessions it does appear to be gaining upward momentum.

[billy_liar] 22/10/2013 08:35

Daily pattern seem to be down initially but then ends the day up. I'm expecting to see £2 at least by Xmas.

[costapacket] 22/10/2013 08:32

Looks like the downtrend is broken here, its been on my watchlist for some time.

Any views on the prospects here? Its a very quiet board

[isis] 17/10/2013 13:39

These are algorithm trades - not sure who they are trying to fool, but it ain't me!

[bingowing] 17/10/2013 13:36

isis, sometimes odd lot trades (usually a retail trader phenomenon) can be grouped to make whole-lots.

E.g 3007 + 1993 = a 5000k lot etc.


All designed to fool "us"

[salpara111] 17/10/2013 11:53

Clearly there was a big stock overhang and I might have been overly pessimistic about how long it was going to take to clear it!
Having said that it will take a rise back above 160 to convince me that the overhang has cleared.
Up until now all buying has been matched by lots of small AT trades, there could just be a pause to allow the share price to recover before resuming, hopefully the next week should clarify the situation.

[isis] 17/10/2013 11:33

These trades started about a week after the placing. Similar pattern as other stocks I've had.

HFT Bot trading to manipulate the price - Men in Black, Dark Forces - call it what you like but it's very dodgy. ;-))

[bingowing] 17/10/2013 11:28

book building, suppression, dark distribution or accumulation....

[funkmasterp12] 17/10/2013 11:11

Those aren't necessarily shorts isis. Bot usage normally indicates a seller/buyer trying to sell or buy in a pre-determined volume but without moving the price.

[isis] 17/10/2013 11:08

These are all BOT trades - who sells 30 shares - just look at the sizes.
