C? I see them as T and probably sells from earlier.
Tempted but if they are all sells no way - had my hands cut before trying to call intra day bottoms.
MM's being naughty and trying to make it look like buys?

[aghumra] 05/2/2002 00:06

Buyers paying 95p/£1 for C trades, they must be confident!

Ticking up but I must resist resist............. :)

Still confused as to why you are saying C?
The trades in question where marked on ADVFN as T single protected Transaction and hence hard to call buys or sells however I would have thought right now the MM's would be willing to sell stock in any level at close to the offer not at a big premium so I am calling them sells and the MM's holding them back to make it look like big buyers coming in to tempt others to buy.
I love conspiracy theories :)

A bid would be the only way IMO if this all sells!!!!!!!

2m banged out 70p, sorry holders, this is going much, much lower IMO.

goforit.. Thanks. You may well have put your finger on the problem.

did anyone dial in to the analysts briefing? If so any opinions?

[goforit] 04/2/2002 10:35

sorry wrong thread, but while on here, i was a govenor at a large secondary school and think that they cannot afford to waste somuch of their budget on technology as financially they are struggling

That 1.25m T sell is going to take some clearing.


One of my neighbours used to be with RM on the finance side. He left a few years ago but held his "large" share holding which during their heights were to be his way to early retirement.
Had a chat with him after the last drop to see if they may be worth a punt but he has had little contact with the Company since he left and was not a happy bunny with the last drop, as you would expect so I kept away. Usual story about not wanting to take the CGT hit and they can't go any lower.

Got a horrible feeling he may have held them and a few other neighbours who had bought them as well during the Tech boom, so there could be some tension in the community tonight!

2 journos tipping it as a sell over the weekend. Shame.
lobbed out at 270 on Friday thankfully...looking to get back in around the £2 mark - the tech market looks pretty sickly again

Holway sounding a little more cautious on RM's prospects than at the top of this thread, don't you think?

Comment from Judith Jordon at Ovum - Holway:
09:10
RM has announced that Richard Girling, Chief Exec, is stepping down in Apr. and will be succeeded by Tim Pearson, currently an Executive Director. Pearson was appointed to the board in 1997, and has been responsible for the group's internet and content strategy, most recently as MD of RM Learning.

Comment: This comes as no great surprise. Richard Girling has been Chief Exec since 1997, during which time RM has more than doubled its revenues and almost achieved the same increase in profits. We've met his successor, Tim Pearson, on a number of occasions and he's got RM's culture and values running through him like a stick of rock! Perhaps not surprising as he has worked for the company for the past 21 years. His challenge will be to keep RM at the forefront of the education market, as an increasing number of companies look to get a slice of the opportunities in the public sector.

RM (RM.) chief executive Richard Girling to step down apparently "to catch up on life", to be succeeded by executive director Tim Pearson. New man - new momentum ?

For all you techies, according to Sharescope, RM just signalled a Golden Cross. Could this be the end of the downtrend?
