Chart looks good this morning

Cant be a good sign ahead of the update. Maybe someone in the know..

More people selling that buying? A cooling off after three days of rises?Short-term long traders taking profit after the recent rise?SB888's "I know something terrible but I won't tell you what it is" information being leaked?Or just the usual ups and down of a share on AIM?

Any thoughts on this mornings fall?

It's brave because he's going to get slaughtered if the price stays against him

[chucko1] 17/9/2018 21:58

What is brave? The declaration of the position, or the fact that he is short in the face of no downward pressure? Seven hedge funds have not been afraid to increase/establish short positions, so perhaps there is another view of this!

What I find interesting is the fact that a lot of this short position was established pretty well at the same time, as though it’s some sort of cabal. The common theme, I suppose, is that they all had the benefit of the H1 results, and I suppose they may all have been of the mind that the earnings momentum is gone. But hedge funds often feed off each other and I sense this may be present in this case. I have taken a brief look at the performance of some of these funds’ shorts, and they are not anything startling performance-wise. Furthermore, mostly they are held for short periods and so appear to be opportunistic rather than existential (compare with shorts on Carillion which were established and held for two or three years).

I am interested in SB888’s “biggy” theory, but so far, alas, he has not found the time to respond! I do wonder if this is someone else’s theory that he is not allowed to divulge? A shame as I would love to “cross-examine”.

sb... you're a brave man for declaring your position. I just don't see any down pressure before the update.

Bye bye Steve

[sb888] 17/9/2018 16:48

ik hoop dat je het snel krijgt

[rackerrs1] 17/9/2018 15:26

muppet central.

[sb888] 17/9/2018 15:22

Average on short now 1465. Timing a little out on this one, but it will be fine

Trading statement last year was 27th September

[davebdavid] 17/9/2018 13:48

To be fair to sb888 he said last week that he predicted a pick up (which I presume this is) and then a big drop.

Let's wait and see if he is correct.

[chucko1] 17/9/2018 13:41

Sb888 - do you believe that the “biggy” predates the H1 statement? Most of the shorts were established in the aftermath of this, as was yours. Except you have shorted this before, and the reason given seems to be along the same lines - there is a “biggy” out there somewhere.

It has escaped the attention of Hanbury, seemingly!

[noujay] 17/9/2018 12:44

Yes received last Friday

[financethoughts] 17/9/2018 12:32

Davebdavid, I’m expecting a brief trading update before end of September, & the Q3 unaudited results by end of October. I’ve marked these up based on prior year results so happy to be corrected.

[villarich] 17/9/2018 12:18

Fenners - I'm with you. I'm always happy to view the other side of my investment choice. After all you need to have a balanced view to take an informed decision. BS888 has said he has a very good reason to be short because he knows something we don't. He just won't tell us what it is!

[alan00] 17/9/2018 12:09

Hi, Has anyone been paid their tax reclaims relating to the dividend that went XD 22/02/2018? I was told nearly a month ago that the refunds would be paid in a few days, but don't seem to have received anything yet.

[the don of dons] 17/9/2018 12:04

sb888 is short again at 1441 so the clown has thrown all his massive 100 point profit from last week that he was so dead proud of and given it all back pretty much

well done clown. as you say - you're always right lol
