applied1 - I just topped up again (50k), so if Ken is correct I will suffer along with the director (CEO) that paid 8.77p for over half a million shares a very short time ago.

Not that I like to lose money but I am confident Ken is just having a bit of fun😂😂;.

So the director bought 50ks and he is going to lose all his money !@

You do all know that the business model of MTC is dead in the water??If not... your about to lose a lot of money.Beware!???

I am waiting for another drop before adding again, as sellers are in control for now.

[cash2020] 24/4/2023 15:53

Bargain. Good time to top up.

[applied1] 24/4/2023 14:58

Don't think I have ever seen such a small spread for MTC.

[cash2020] 21/4/2023 12:26

Applied1: Yes, we have 139 stores in India.

[applied1] 21/4/2023 11:41

Do we have stores or concessions in India ?

Applied1 the point was that I had not previously (well at least for some time) checked the short position of MTC, and if there had been a much higher percentage of short positions then on the arrival of good news the shorters would likely be rapidly closing their positions, forcing the share price up more quickly that it is likely with such a low percentage.

However, taking the other view there are very few that think that they can make money out of shorting the stock now. It is well known that hedge funds and city bankers often try destroying businesses by creating bad press and selling short to make life even more difficult for the companies, so that these funds etc make fortunes exploiting the weak and vulnerable.

I expect it is now more likely they are the ones now collecting desperate sellers stock or that of board holders stock on the cheap, as the have already seen the level that directors have been buying at and PI’s like On Target and myself have picked up stock at recently.

Clock,sorry don't understand,can you explain ,many thanks.

[clocktower] 19/4/2023 16:26

Seeing the recent sells, I took a look to see if the percentage of shorts, and bear in mind if they have to close upon good news how big an effect on the share price would that have.

However it is only 0.78% is listed on

So little volume being transacted in a company of this size just shows the state of the current markets imo, rather than anything to do with the company.

It is less than a month ago the new CEO purchased over half a million shares, so I do not expect a TS until the end of the month or early May this year cash2020.

Very few shares are being traded as buyers seem happy to take them on board at over 8.5p/9p range as PI's are few and far between at present, and missing out impo.

These shares are very cheap.

DYOR.

Hopefully not long to go now for that trading update.

[clocktower] 18/4/2023 09:47

Patience will be rewarded.

[applied1] 18/4/2023 09:14

Well astonishing I find,4 months in for the new chief and no news at all. Are we going under ,sells all the time !!

[eeza] 15/4/2023 07:26

Should be due a pre-close TU, 11 April last year.

[applied1] 14/4/2023 11:44

Here come the sells !

[cash2020] 13/4/2023 16:49

We’re slowly creeping up though, must be 4 or 5 days in a row now of positive gains.

[clocktower] 12/4/2023 13:17

Well jimmyloser - that accounts for a fair bit of yesterdays volume, and today we are back to being sluggish much like the market in general from what I can make out.

Extended holiday for some I guess.

[jimmyloser] 11/4/2023 17:49

I accounted for 200 k today via ISA bed and breakfastJl

[applied1] 11/4/2023 15:02

Like "BUMP"the predators waited for the share price to come right down and pounced.

[site manager] 11/4/2023 14:46

Applied,

It happened at Seraphine EPIC - BUMP.
Not an entirely dissimilar company.

[applied1] 11/4/2023 11:59

Clock ,maybe a complete buyout !!
