Quite patronising but ok. Are you invested here?

[woodhawk] 26/7/2019 10:49

I guess you'll learn one day. Any large trade can be reported late, so the price is often no real guide to whether it was actually a 'buy' or a 'sell'. Those 'Buys' and 'Sells' are guesstimates only - and very often incorrect - they're no real guide to anything - apart from volume. Counting up trades is a mugs' game - for one thing, you have no idea what (large) trades are in process but haven't been reported yet.

I count 650k buys, 100k sell.

[inthemix] 26/7/2019 10:41

The time of 9.20am fit, how can you not see that? The trades later looked delayed and half also looked like buys.

[woodhawk] 26/7/2019 10:12

Don't see anything like that - and in any case how do you know what the trades were? At that size they would be delayed posting.

[inthemix] 26/7/2019 09:29

350k of buys just gone through, follow the money.

[inthemix] 26/7/2019 09:07

Just bought some more here. Think there will be some decent movement today.

[woodhawk] 25/7/2019 12:47

They're always mucking about with online volumes - couldn't buy more than 100 the other day at certain times. Just another tool to muddy the waters.

Cannot get an online quote to sell from Aj bell? Anyone else had trouble with this share getting a quote?

Always think it's a good sign when a share can recover on ex divi day

[woodhawk] 25/7/2019 10:31

Exactly Fizzy - divi not exactly a priority here - never was - it's all about capital gains for me. Big divis plentiful elsewhere - 7.6% on Aviva currently, maybe 10% on Taylor Wimpey. 7.5% on IGG - lots of undervalued companies about.

I guess another attempt at 200p this afternoon.
Divi only 1.2% for me but this isn't about the divi.

[woodhawk] 25/7/2019 10:06

...but it was only 2.9p per share! Welcome nevertheless.

[mallorca 9] 25/7/2019 09:59

Yep …. and a pretty quick recovery in the share price

[woodhawk] 25/7/2019 09:08

Ex-dividend as of this morning.

[woodhawk] 24/7/2019 09:15

mallorca 9, there are many way of playing this or any other share. I'm trading this - I take profits when I see fit.... and repurchase when I see fit too.

If you want the dividend, small tho' it is, you'll have to move smartly - ex-dividend tomorrow.

[woodhawk] 24/7/2019 08:43

They have been steadily reducing it for the last two months.

[mammyoko] 24/7/2019 08:31

Merian closed their short. Made good money

[woodhawk] 23/7/2019 17:56

Ice cream?!? I suppose you mean Gelato ;-) Been a good week for us, Fizzy! I picked up some of these for a cheeky bid of 162p a day or two ago. I always seem to do well with this stock - and looks like I've hit the jackpot yet again - maybe the best yet?

[fizzypop] 23/7/2019 17:53

Well Woody that rise must have paid for a double cone of icecream or whatever floats your boat where you are.
As I wrote in post 1285 this was due to bust its gastric band.
But this 22% rise is just the start.

[woodhawk] 23/7/2019 17:29

I go out for an afternoon on the beach - and look what happens!!

The Buffetology Fund are big supporters of this stock - I reckon they'll have been buying at these ludicrously low lows.

[mallorca 9] 23/7/2019 16:34

Be patient here -

may take a month or two but this will recover to over £3.

[inthemix] 23/7/2019 16:16

Had to derisk a little as I went heavy yesterday. Might be an error as this looks like 300p could come round faster than I first thought.
