Nice move today, it is starting to show some real potential.

Same here sundance. If I knew 450p was the bottom would have certainly added. Like you say, spread annoying for any buys

[sundance13] 02/6/2023 11:07

Maybe, that's assuming they bought in at the recent bottom though, plus there's the spread that reduces that further. Mind you I'm probably just bitter as I bought north of £6 so still well in the red.

[johndoe23] 02/6/2023 11:03

15-20 % rise in a week, don't blame anyone

[sundance13] 02/6/2023 10:58

Had hoped the prospect of imminent results would reduce seller volume in the short term, but seems not!

[johndoe23] 02/6/2023 10:36

Short termers banking profits this morning

[harry_david] 01/6/2023 19:05

Just keeping my feet on the ground, two at least, big buyers looking for stock today and unsatisfied. Perhaps a leak but more likely some good operating news.

At last the market has woken up, drones are everywhere both in Russia as well as Ukraine. MS is on a roll, some big buyers looking for stock which they can't find. This is more exciting than Nvidia.

[this_is_me] 01/6/2023 17:32

Up almost a quarter in 3 days.

[sundance13] 01/6/2023 16:51

Finished at high so hopefully more to come tomorrow.

[sundance13] 01/6/2023 13:00

Another strong day, traders buying in potentially ahead of results later this month perhaps.

[drradcliffe] 30/5/2023 22:00

It's a very illiquid share; doesn't take much volume to move this either way. Unlikely to be a big seller, just the odd PI who's got bored.

[this_is_me] 30/5/2023 19:44

It looked like small buys today.

[johndoe23] 30/5/2023 19:09

Can't be just small selling bringing the share price down, surely?

[sundance13] 30/5/2023 19:02

Just small sellers largely isn't it though?

[johndoe23] 30/5/2023 18:02

Indeed. No RNS regarding anyone selling yet, so will assume they are not done yet!

[this_is_me] 30/5/2023 13:26

Nice price jump today.

I always think that in circumstances where news flow is so limited it's worth paying even more attention to what the directors of the company are doing. Since the last FY results (June 22) the only director sales have been to move holdings into an ISA. The most recent director transaction was pretty striking - the 72 yr old FD sells 28k shares at a decent(ish) price of 590p, pockets £165k but then decides to invest 100% of those monies back into stock in his ISA & his SIPP. I've never met Mr O'Connell but suspect that at his age his risk tolerance is diminishing yearly so that's a pretty big vote of confidence in medium term prospects imo.
I've been adding a few along the way and happy to be patient and see how the story plays out.

It's very strange the psychology of price movements and you can only keep a level head by referring back to some form of intrinsic value for the Group. The earnings history across the various subsidiaries is very erratic so that doesn't make things easier in assessing value. As to the possible future likely PBT contribution from Defence, it could be substantial and the trajectory now should only be upwards no matter what the market is pricing the Group at currently.

[westofengland] 19/5/2023 19:10

I understand your stance, John Doe
Like Norbert Colon I trust the management and have been adding from 610p onwards and had a few more this week at 477p
If you find better stocks to buy, go for those. I was delighted to get a few more at every price level.

[johndoe23] 19/5/2023 18:05

That's true, however when down 20% you start to feel a tad more twitchy. Was tempted to add at 500p, glad I held off.

[gleach23] 19/5/2023 17:38

Seems there's clearly a seller as the quantities available to buy online remain higher than normal even in the 460s and there's not much demand evident when attempting a dummy sell.

Hopefully final results in about a month's time will provide the opportunity for a strong bounce. We know how swiftly this illiquid stock can move.

Didn't think would go this low
