Afternoon blueliner , it`s a strange one , I`m looking for a position as it looks a good long term bet in a niche business.

Just waiting for it to stabilise , but again today just a couple of 10k sells and it`s at a new low.

80p - 85p at present.

Looks like the 23k @ 84.5p could well be a buy

edit:

Looking at that trade again , more likely a sell earlier in the day when the quote was 84p - 87p - would explain the early price drop.

For me what's the point of selling, I took a long term punt, can't use any tax losses as it's in stock ISA. share price will settle eventually, it's not some dodgy aim co either. More like a blue blooded one.

Another new low this morning.. ................ 928 @ 84p 'sell'

83p - 85p now.

Good point HE,

It`s 15p down on the issue price and I`m tempted to tuck a few away , but it doesn`t feel anywhere near bottom yet. Maybe wait for 70p in a few weeks time ?

SCHO problems stem from mail on sunday doing a huge write up on it. Encouraged wrong type of investor to pile in. When the huge buying didn't kick in it left all those looking for a quick turn stuck in the shares. It will take a fair while for them to go.

[philanderer] 01/7/2014 15:26

This is looking like a total waste of time.

50k shares dumped @ 84.5p

[philanderer] 01/7/2014 08:24

And not a single trade :-D


edit:

1131 @ 87.25p

[philanderer] 01/7/2014 08:04

Looks ok .... and a 1p dividend ;-)

Commenting on the final results Philip Blackwell, Chief Executive of the Group, noted "We are very pleased to report a strong performance for 2014. Our business has grown materially on all fronts and culminated in admission to trading on AIM raising £8 million.

"We have made an encouraging start to the year with Shapero Rare Books and South Kensington Books ahead of the same period for the previous year and are looking forward to developing our business through selective deployment of new capital."

A set of rare and beautiful books illustrated by the artist John Gould is to be auctioned in London

A complete set of extremely rare and exquisitely illustrated bird books is to be sold with a guide price of £1.5 million by a London dealer in antiquarian tomes.

Described as 'exceptional and pristine', the 12 folio works in 44 volumes, containing 3,000-plus lithographs, represent more than 50 years of painstaking work by the revered 19th-century ornithologist and artist John Gould. He dominated the field of ornithological discovery (he identified Darwin's finches) and natural-history publishing (he employed Edward Lear as an artist).

'No other ornithologist has ever exceeded (or will ever exceed) the number of Gould's bird discoveries and the magnitude and splendour of his folio publications,' wrote Gordon Sauer in John Gould The Bird Man.

The set, which is currently in a private collection and has not been offered privately for sale for many years, will be on display at Shapero Rare Books in Mayfair (020-7493 0876; www.shapero.com) and exhibited at Masterpiece London (June 26-July 2, 020-7499 7470; www.masterpiecefair.com).

number of trades = zilch

[philanderer] 12/5/2014 09:01

Continues....5,000 @ 91p

edit:

and again 5,000 @ 90p

Seems small caps in general are out of favour for now.

[philanderer] 09/5/2014 09:32

Still dumping ... 10k @ 91p

[philanderer] 09/5/2014 07:58

Been following the trades here closely and there is someone unloading 5k, 10k, and 15k`s worth very slowly, sub 92.5p yesterday and even at 91p this morning.

No way at a profit so either a distressed seller or someone who had them free ?

Going nowhere until this guy is done.

Want to add but looks like you`ll be able to buy well under 89p in the next few days.

just the two buys today totalling 1600 shares

[philanderer] 30/4/2014 08:09

Morning all.

SCHO seems miles under the radar, can`t find any news anywhere regarding yesterdays update.

[mach100] 29/4/2014 18:03

A good update but you might have bored sellers depress the price unless some news pops up. I can see this heading to 90p for its next chapter.

[philanderer] 29/4/2014 16:01

Welcome aboard Stegrego , I`m happy to hold a few of these , bought in a little early with a 95p average but happy to sit on them. I like the management here as well.
