abcd1234...You have a very valid point cause if it was 20 mill, where do you put your hands on 2% of spt.

Another possibility could be an arranged sale within the same company but into another pot if you know what I mean.

I also think, as FourOaks said, fid had been buying for days prior to it's rns.

Very simply an rns is required to clarify.

But be sure this level of activity is not happening for no reason. Something must be on the cards.

[abcd1234] 14/12/2005 14:39

Hmm, interesting PDR, but if so who is unloading such large quantities to them??

[pdriccio] 14/12/2005 14:32

Cheers FourOaks.

Looks like someone is stake building imo.

original birdman

You've got it "hole in one".

[fouroaks] 14/12/2005 13:36

PDR - re the RNS they have (IIRC) up to three days to release a holdings RNS so could be Fid, or anyone else! If there is no RNS then it is a new holder (below 3%).

By the way, the two 10m 'X' trades could have been the same shares (ie only 10m not 20m) since they could have gone through two brokers to get to their destination - just a thought.

Sam...whacky or what!

[sam79] 14/12/2005 12:43

Will be happier when SPT goes to well over 80p soon...........

P.S SPT was over 800p per share at one time! We might get there sometime,
have a grip on yourself man!!!!!

You will never smell it again not even @ 50p from here onward, do you
get my drift?

[thegrip1] 14/12/2005 12:40

remember ,,,,,,we do love spirent ,,,,i was happier when i got em @ 10p though

[tetris10] 14/12/2005 12:19

If its agilent then we could see and rns @2.30

if its venture capitalists it could drag on for weeks

[pdriccio] 14/12/2005 12:18

The Knife.....Whats your thoughts?

[unknown trader] 14/12/2005 12:16

all we need is an rns about possible offer!

[sam79] 14/12/2005 12:07

The fire works hasn't even started yet.................soon it will.
80p here we come.

[tetris10] 14/12/2005 12:02

starting to think somrthng is afoot

[sam79] 14/12/2005 12:00

That's the one:)

[unknown trader] 14/12/2005 11:36

l2 very strong on the buyside for a change..

sam79 50p taken out as you spoke!

[sam79] 14/12/2005 11:24

Looking very good for a big ticker UP anytime now

[pdriccio] 14/12/2005 10:52

Does anybody know who bought the 2 x 10 mill yesterday?
As fid's rns i would have thought would relate to previous trades.
Maybe agilent/someone are stake building?
Dont know.
Anybody?

[unknown trader] 14/12/2005 10:37

only if there is a bidding war i feel....unless
you have some inside info sam?

[sam79] 14/12/2005 10:06

FourOaks

No probs, all you have to do is "keep your eyes and ears wide open",
God knows how many times I had to say it for the last few days.
As you can see and hear Daily mail today's article is just the beginning
of the great news we are all waiting for or to hear rather.
80p is a very conservative price for SPT, trust me.

[fouroaks] 14/12/2005 10:03

L2 currently 1.2m vs 420k overall with 635k vs 122k on the strip @ 49.75p/50p.

[fouroaks] 14/12/2005 10:00

Sam - I was just wondering whether or not you had done some maths or TA and arrived at the 80p. No criticism, just interest.
