Where is that revised take over offer?
Richard Griffiths has been increasing his stake here, Directors were buying lots not so long ago.
Not trading far above its book price now.

Oh dear , at one time I thought MTC might be climbing out of the hole , but now looks like it has slipped back. Another lemon in my portfolio.....

[clocktower] 23/11/2017 08:08

Worse to come imo.

Over reaction

[boonkoh] 23/11/2017 07:47

Hardly any positives to take away from the HY report!

[justiceforthemany] 23/11/2017 07:44

Once again evidence of insider trading and a big leak here prior to RNS.

[dealy] 22/11/2017 16:43

Loaded up for tomorrow

Yes my bad, it is Thursday 23rd.

[steptoe57] 20/11/2017 16:59

Interims Thursday I thought

[terminated] 20/11/2017 14:28

Interim Results on Wednesday, it should generate interest and much needed volume.

I re-iterate. All the small caps are going through this right now. Patient investors can clean up

Director bought 100k of these at 104p in July. He has inside knowledge, forward visibility and a better understanding of any analyst. He perceived they were rock bottom when he bought in, it's now only 4 months on. Not much could have changed in that time.

Oversold - what 'disaster' is the market expecting? Surely priced in?

[justiceforthemany] 17/11/2017 18:11

Another down day. Looks like a large buy went through around 0840 but then lots of small AT trade sells again.

[justiceforthemany] 16/11/2017 11:23

Bid territory also?

[justiceforthemany] 16/11/2017 11:23

Added some more. I make the P/E comfortably below 10 now and possibly as low as 7.

If after results, assuming they are decent, the shares do not get over 110p, then he should consider a friendly takeover.

[dealy] 16/11/2017 08:18

This company should go private. No point in being public with the lousy volumes, spread and complete lack of investor interest

[terminated] 15/11/2017 15:05

At the end of the day you cant realistically make a profit selling 100-300 £'s worth of shares. The only logical reason is basic share price manipulation.

Perhaps in an increasingly automated system, the tops and bottoms become more extreme before they reverse... some of the top stocks have crazy high ratings.

[yump] 15/11/2017 14:36

Just read an interesting article in New Scientist about the effect of automated trading and the increase in tracker fund investment (which is of course automated).

Bit complicated for me to summarise, but the essence was that as more automatic trading takes place, the investments that are not automated have more extreme effects.

The article also noted that the workings of an automated system are not necessarily understandable from the outside - witnessed by the less than a day mini-crashes that have happened over the last few years.

No leak. All small caps Being hammered at present. Definite buying opportunity
