Hey presto up and running

Cmon PETS Can we have 2 updays in a row for once or will the shortest take control

[john09] 20/12/2017 18:07

Could do with all the upping of some funds and down selling of other funds to conclude then we will hopefully clear the decks a little

Two fund managers dropping

[staylow2] 15/12/2017 20:14

Both sides have access to the order book. It's lightly traded but still requires a larger fund on the bullish side that will absorb the shorts. Right now it looks like none are interested in taking that side.

[alibx11] 15/12/2017 12:33

yep, Portsea and Polar have both increased they're shorts in Dec and Nordea has increased it's holding by 2%...so both sides of the coin putting more money in.

The only reason the shorters are winning is because it's a lightly traded stock and they have access to the order book to keep a cap on it, but at some point they will come under pressure to reduce.

I'm getting ready to buy more...

Shorts still controlling this stock

[john09] 14/12/2017 13:39

I’d be happier if this got over £1.80 for a bit

[john09] 11/12/2017 20:30

Nordea increased again

[insideryou] 11/12/2017 19:17

wait till the shorts reverse.

Agreed, the fundamentals are good, and I hope they are wrong as I'd hate to see another closure on the retail parks. My concern is the price action and the past chart. It's a huge downtrend, and now the weight of institutional shorts is pinning the price. I've said in posts before, once they start with the large short positions it seems the price is suppressed, any rallies seem to be immediately sold in to and this then deters further (i guess more retail investment)Bullish institutions are going to have to be confident of future valuations and profits as well as taking the weight of the shorters.

Value fund buying in significant amounts - they must know the Brits are mad on pets. "Where there's pets there's money" to paraphrase an old saying.

[alibx11] 11/12/2017 17:24

Think they have this one wrong. They certainly had Morrisons wrong when they were over 15% short and the price went up over 240p.

It's hardly a highly indebted company making a loss and no chance of better profits... we're making a decent profit and are in the first year of a major reorganisation bringing more vets and grooming services into main stores which are growing in double digit terms as they mature, so a lot better things to come here.

To me they're actually ahead of the ball rather then some companies dropping the ball altogether by adapting to take acount of the change in consumer demands.

[staylow2] 11/12/2017 16:31

That to me is a warning signal. Once they have their teeth in they don't seem to let it go.

[alibx11] 11/12/2017 15:39

There has been no large selling that I saw on the trades page, merely the usual small at trades nibbling away at the bid price.

This is the problem with lightly traded shares like this, and probably the major reason shorters are taking advantage of it.

Shorts are increasing... now over 10%, which begs to wonder just how low do they want it to go, considering the low level they are opening them at from here.

[staylow2] 11/12/2017 14:33

Followed by some pretty large selling.

[nw99] 11/12/2017 09:18

Another big buy trade Nice

[devonboy123] 08/12/2017 21:19

The company is doing very well and sales are very good and the people at the top are making sure of that a change at the top is the best thing to happen he was just a money man had no retail sense

[maximus57] 08/12/2017 16:48

Another nice big trade late on. Somebody gathering?
