Same number. It's in the same RNS

[mongrels3] 31/8/2019 11:02

So did Justin Ash, CEO

"Garry Watts, Chairman, bought 50,000 shares in the company on the 8th August 2019 at a price of 98.00p. The Director now holds 653,577 shares."

Yes a nice rise into the close, no smoke without fire? Maybe the long wait will be over next week but I need a bid for twice the current price just to break even (not being one of my best investments!) and I guess there's a fat chance of that unless we have a bidding war so I'll just dream on for now before anyone says it lol!

5x usual volume today.
Spike into the close.


Several large off-book trades not just the usual AT nonsense.
Surely there must be a reason.

Scan those weekend papers - perhaps Mediclinic +/- HCA put in a hostile bid at 150p to show up the stupid Ash & Co who rejected 315p.

Indeed ... one could say it was a healthy finish to the week for Spire .... :-)

[justiceforthemany] 30/8/2019 16:12

£1.1M buy gone through now.

[napoleon 14th] 30/8/2019 16:11

Picked up a few.
SCSW were saying buy in Sept '18 @ 172p.
Next issue in a week. Wonder if they will re-itterate?

Extract from sept18: " Three directors have been buying heavily in the last month (a combined 235,000 at c.160p) and with would-be-predator Mediclinic (MDC; 489p) sitting in the wings with a 29.9% stake for which it paid 360p in 2016, the shares are worth buying on weakness. Results are due on 18 September and could herald a recovery."

I passed at the time. Paid 103.5p today.
Recent volume is interesting......

[justiceforthemany] 30/8/2019 14:49

Weekend papers could be interesting.

Very high volumes all week.

Something is going on.

[justiceforthemany] 30/8/2019 14:30

Mediclinic already own 29%. If they are buying they will have crossed 30% and will be obliged to make an offer.

Large off book trades today.
£400K.

[lurchlides] 30/8/2019 11:21

Has it finally broken out?

[lurchlides] 30/8/2019 08:12

I've lost track of the number of 2,500 purchases over the last few days...someone is building/increasing a considerable stake here. Is it Mediclinic?

[justiceforthemany] 29/8/2019 14:01

Looks like volume is considerable up too. 95p-100p lockdown.

[justiceforthemany] 29/8/2019 13:59

Highly unusual trading trading patterns here for a few days now. Precursor to a bid? Or just Algos playing their usual games?

[lurchlides] 28/8/2019 13:41

plenty of buys at 1.00. The price looks ready to take off if results are good. Big chance of bid also. Loaded up with another 5,000 shares today. Now hold 30,000 shares.
Average is 1.12, so hope to recover paper loss and get well into profit

[justiceforthemany] 23/8/2019 14:17

Lots of takeover coming in now. NMC, ETO, GNK...

Spire must be in line given it is now a third of the last offer price of 315p.

[mongrels3] 22/8/2019 11:57

Results in about 3 weeks time. Directors buying recently. Let's hope so!

[lurchlides] 22/8/2019 09:54

are these getting ready to pop?

[justiceforthemany] 09/8/2019 17:33

They first started buying at well above 200p.

[mongrels3] 09/8/2019 15:03

I've been watching this one for a while. The director buys yesterday have convinced me to buy this today.

[buywell3] 09/8/2019 14:21

they can afford it

[p winky] 09/8/2019 14:15

Directors have about 50k each

[justiceforthemany] 08/8/2019 22:38

AT bot buying ++ today for a change.
