Thanks. Not a big deal fortunately, I risked less starting capital in the trade and did ok first couple of times.

Unlucky nimbo1, but those director sells did it for me. Still watching.

[nimbo1] 27/2/2019 09:29

thats me out for now

[nimbo1] 18/2/2019 09:04

This is a bit sad as I was very impressed with the recent Director additions..the CEO sells came as shock, although he has some big options (over 1.6 Million shares) out to March 2020 when they can be taken-up. The stated "tax reasons" are all very well but were quite substantial, and sells made 4 days apart.....perhaps needed a better explanation?

[woodhawk] 15/2/2019 09:07

I've been very lucky with this share to date. I'm very tempted at today's price but, like nimbo1 and cyberian I'm not encouraged by the director sells. There are plenty of other shares, so for the time being I'm looking elsewhere. Good fortune to all.

The CEO sells again for same reason (tax issue) a few days after the previous sell...not an encouraging sign.

[nimbo1] 14/2/2019 13:04

woodhawk i did the same last time but only made 8%

Wondering whether to go again - don't like the director sales though, for tax i guess but...

[woodhawk] 05/2/2019 12:56

And out again at 355p. Nice 14% gain in 6 weeks.

[woodhawk] 17/12/2018 10:46

Back in again at 312p.

[cyberian] 14/12/2018 10:25

After the recent recovery from 307p level after the recent results, and the sharp recovery to 372p plus...why the big fall again? OK the markets are a bit fragile but it appears that some largish sells have passed through the market in recent days...any ideas?

from Questor in today's Daily Telegraph
Update: Scapa
Shares in Scapa, the maker of medical and industrial tapes, fell heavily when it announced a fall in interim profits this month. Keith Ashworth-Lord, who holds the stock in his SDL UK Buffettology fund, said: “I think the market has over-reacted and so we have increased our position.”

[woodhawk] 26/11/2018 12:08

For several of them it was their maiden purchase too! Nice find, this share. Almost half my current stake is from previous SCPA profits this year. This must surely be the best buying opportunity here this year!

[woodhawk] 26/11/2018 10:22

Good to see a lot of management buying. Nice rise so far today.

[woodhawk] 22/11/2018 11:38

Glad you missed the sudden drop, Fizzy. I'm having another little nibble here too. Wish I had more funds available!! SCPA drops always seem massively overdone? I guess that's AIM for you.

Edit: Found a few £K and added some more circa 315p!!

[mryl] 21/11/2018 13:17

Agreed, I'm buying here. Look at BAB today, would expect similar reaction here soon. dyor

[fizzypop] 21/11/2018 12:55

Back in at 307p.

[fizzypop] 21/11/2018 12:11

30% fall excessive. Suggest load up as it will probably bottom around 300p.

[sludgesurfer] 20/11/2018 21:11

Struggling a bit to understand this one. Growth stocks on high multiple are prone to large corrections on a weak period. But this seems too much to me. The one-off costs were known. Did the market expect more of the transactions and sooner?What am i missing before i buy more here?

[meijiman] 20/11/2018 18:03

Looks like algo selling in small amounts

[marky60] 20/11/2018 17:04

That's putting it mildly. Read the RNS this morning and decided to hang on to my small holding as things seem to be going in the right direction.Can only assume someone has issued a downgrade.

[meijiman] 20/11/2018 16:30

hmm.the market is unimpressed.

[woodhawk] 09/11/2018 20:04

Nice, one Fizzy. You did better than I!! Though I did very well on previous occasions.

[fizzypop] 05/11/2018 14:03

Sold at 440p for a 20.6% gain. Thanks Woody for a great tip.
