Dominant director putting his hand in his pocket to buy a substantial number of shares is encouraging (at 152p and 150p)

Good call tiswas!



Actually looking at their previous Holdings RNS indicating 792,500 shares it's clear that the 2 trades of 200,000 and 592,500 reported on Monday did relate to their holding

[tiswas] 19/1/2021 13:50

So with the buyback and the Stonehenge increase could we expect a Provident rns saying they are out?

[tole] 19/1/2021 12:08

Yeah buying up the cheap shares I wanted..

[gleach23] 19/1/2021 10:27

Actually today's RNS advises that 555k of those trades from Friday was the company buying back its shares @ 113.52p. Nice work.

[gleach23] 18/1/2021 18:48

Nice to see only about 5k shares available @ 133p late on today.

Noteworthy 4 trades reported after the bell too - totalling around 1.5m they are dated last Friday early afternoon just before stock availability dried up. Must relate to the Stonehage Fleming RNS indicating an upping of their stake to 12.77%.

I also found the chairmans statement to be remarkably positive underneath the necessary caution.

Had to pay 119p to buy a few more on Friday,

cheers

Suspect, and hope, you might be right westofengland

Only about 50 shares available to buy online late this afternoon @ 120p. Managed to build a decent spread bet position instead but it took some time.

[westofengland] 14/1/2021 11:23

All I can say, as a longstanding holder, is that if you read the latest statement issued in December, the Company appears to be in good shape and I wouldn't wait for this supposed holding to be sold. These shares are very cheap and it will only take one piece of positive news to have them well above 200p when they will still be modestly priced.

[tole] 14/1/2021 10:42

Yes you are correct, thanks. RNS didn't show a previous holding, so presumed they were the buyer. Am interested to take a few here once they're done. Keeping a close eye as reckon there is definitely value here.

[gleach23] 13/1/2021 20:59

Would better explain the recent share price weakness if they have been selling. 109k @ 110p today and 100k @ 105p reported after the bell last Friday.

Watching with interest for an opportunistic entry point.

[tiswas] 13/1/2021 20:52

Tole.

I think that they have been selling, reported 5.93% in Nov and 4.73% 11/1.

[tole] 13/1/2021 20:10

Big volume reported today. I take it that's related to provident investments taking a near 5% stake here of late.

[playful] 11/1/2021 11:14

Snaffled away with some today way too cheap!

[this_is_me] 16/12/2020 09:15

Yes they are very hard to trade. If they get back up to the pre virus level my small investment will have been worthwhile although it will not make me a fortune.

[tiswas] 16/12/2020 08:31

Does look good value longer term but 110/135p spread. Jeez!

[this_is_me] 16/12/2020 08:23

I picked up a few this morning given the positive update and the low share price. I have had them on my watch list for some time and now looks to be a good time for a long term investment.

[chrisdgb] 10/12/2019 09:23

A curious company..........

[turbocharge] 11/10/2019 14:43

Executed, 1,111 @ 1.80 at 14:41:41 !!

[turbocharge] 11/10/2019 14:40

14:41:41 sound like a good time

[turbocharge] 11/10/2019 14:38

Maybe time to add some more at current offer of �179....?

[illiswilgig] 17/9/2019 17:36

WestofEngland - Thank you, that's a very reassuring view from the AGM, much appreciated.

To be clear - I hold, and had also recently added more above 200p. I will let the dust settle and will most likely add some more,

cheers
