Yet another solid start improved year on year ...still find it interesting that continued investment in print services traditionally the cash cow of the group . Wondering what would happen if st ives became last man standing in the book print business . Would it be a keeper or would st ives sell this division both are without doubt positive on share price !!

Always like to see director buys IMO it's a good solid sign in a company like this that strategies are playing out. I still think this will be trading £2.42 to £2.56 at least this time next year.

If it was the share buy back holding up the price..........

[diablo1967] 21/11/2014 23:57

I wonder lol shoot my conspiracy theories ......another day another dollar

[grahamburn] 21/11/2014 17:28

Just a barrage of small trades.

My broker, Redmayne-Bentley also drip feed at no extra cost provided you remind them not to beat you up on costs !

No problem, I use this method with iglevel2 for cfd's. They now do stockbroking I have not investigated yet if I can use wave orders when buying or selling stocks through them.

edit

Opened a stockbroker account with them also, can also use wave orders on ordinary shares...pretty good service.

Royal oak ...many thanks for that explanation very informative

[royaloak] 20/11/2014 10:45

SETS

Wave Orders

If I want to buy or sell 5000 shares in a company, for example SIV, I can put a wave order in for 5,000, but rather than frighten other buyers or sellers looking at Level 2, I can drip feed the orders in at for example 500 shares at a time.

When I put a wave order in I only pay one lot of commission for the 5000 shares.

Ex div 5p today will explain today's drop.

[lord gnome] 20/11/2014 08:54

Usually share buy backs drive prices higher. Is the price being eased down in the company's favour? No idea as to the answer and I am not a conspiracy theorist, but it would certainly make sense and explain the current depressed share price level for a good growth company.

Think a we will agree that we have differing opinions on this matter given the recent revelations of market makers fixing the currency markets I wonder how deep this manipulation goes . Yesterday we had a 36 trade setting the low today we open with a 36trade setting the low. Hmmm would you sell £50 worth paying trading costs prior to a divi? Why break a trade into three parts timed exactly the same ? As for matched trades we are somewhat adrift. The share buy back has affect too.This is my opinion and I appreciate your comments although I still remain open eyed to the possibility of some sort of manipulation and communication. Regards

Words of wisdom from a stock market veteran! :-)

[wellum1959] 19/11/2014 17:58

It's a SETS stock, trades are matched, nothing underhand.

Diablo, as jlo10 says, St Ives is quoted on the main market and not AIM, unless that was just a general comment about AIM.

I am still not sure of your point. Is it because the 3 trades were reported as being the same time. The first trade for 111 shares is the auction trade which presumably took place a few minutes earlier and I am not sure the bid/offer quote is relevant to this. There was then a buy at 194.75 followed by a sell at 189.25. They were automated transactions where the trader concerned could see exactly what he was paying or receiving for these trades. Nothing unusual or unfair to me.

Personally, unless there was a compelling reason to deal quickly I would not buy or sell anything early on when the spreads on many smaller companies tend to be wide.

[jlo10] 19/11/2014 17:19

SIV is FTSE small cap which is supposed to be better regulated.
Lot of auto transactions today - down day generally

[diablo1967] 19/11/2014 16:40

Salchow only works in your favour if you know the game. We unfortunately do not !!Do you have any explanation at all as to the opening three trades ? We obviously sit on differing sides of the fence . For me manipulation is rife in aim.

[salchow] 19/11/2014 14:54

And the problem is what, Diablo 1967?

You sound like the supporters on the fan's site of my club. They all think that UEFA, the FA, the referee's and the press have some sort of agenda against them.

I have been investing since 1968. You either do the deal at the price offered or you don't. If there was any manipulation would it not work in your favour 50% of the time.

[diablo1967] 19/11/2014 13:36

And still they play !!

[diablo1967] 19/11/2014 08:03

Of course no such thing as communicating between market makers ...anyone care to explain the opening three trades on this share ????When is this going to be investigated if ever by the fsa ? Any comments

[qs99] 06/11/2014 13:11

am in ahead of IMS....recent updates have all been relatively OK IMO and any piece of good news should IMO see it push through £2...lets see..

[davr0s] 05/11/2014 19:36

Been long here for a long time... But today's RNS were bonus related so not too excited by them. That said there had been strong buying for a while so not unduly worried

[stopaloss] 05/11/2014 14:21

2 directors purchased large chunks of shares today and there's an IMS due at the end of Nov.....

[diablo1967] 28/10/2014 16:36

Or maybe not lol
