Decided to follow Upton today

[spectoacc] 27/1/2021 07:32

Upton still buying, happy to stay long.

[spectoacc] 25/1/2021 15:36

Has taken him over 3%, and he ought to know. But suspect he's nearly the sole reason the share price has bounced!

[this_is_me] 25/1/2021 15:25

Yes, that is a serious amount of buying. I'm tempted to add some more.

[spectoacc] 25/1/2021 14:44

Upton been piling in it seems.

[sphere25] 25/1/2021 09:06

Just highlight this horrible share, which I find impossibly impossible to buy (because it nearly always gives the run around), but looks set to test a key breakout. The last move from early 60's to early 74p now has been good for those who managed to push the buy button.

It MIGHT make another leg up - 75p looks a key mark on the chart. The offer looks thin at the moment but hard to tell with this one if there are sleepy sellers to come in and fill the offer or apply the order when a particular price point is hit. Tend to see both in markets.

Tempted to have a go as a short term play only but if I buy, it 100% ABSOLUTELY DEFINITELY NO SIREEE won't breakout! :-)

Snouts in the trough for too long when things were going well and now clear that their interests were not always aligned with their shareholders. Finally some sense and a realisation that costs need to come down significantly. Can't act like you're a FTSE 250 company and spend money accordingly. Is there enough in the portfolio to make it an interesting investment...? No idea!

'Mayfield Manchester developer U+I has embarked on a major restructure with its chief executive and chief financial officer departing after it recorded a £50m half-year loss.

It has begun a 100-day review of the business that will look to slash costs and refocus entirely on regeneration projects. The review will be led by Richard Upton, its chief development officer who has been made chief executive with immediate effect.'

[spectoacc] 19/1/2021 08:22

Hard to know now until conclusion of review - big NAV write-down but still huge discount (193p).

[this_is_me] 19/1/2021 07:22

That is a major refurbishment of the company akin to a refurbishment of a brownfield site.

Somebody collecting shares here... might spike next week

[deadly] 15/1/2021 10:30

Yes insider trading happpens all the time and the FCA do nothing.

[this_is_me] 15/1/2021 10:10

Results are due out on Tuesday. It's amazing how often there is a spike in a share price coming up to a very good trading statement considering insider trading is illegal.

[this_is_me] 15/1/2021 10:03

There was an almost 400k arranged trade reported late yesterday. This seems to have lit the blue touch paper. With any luck there is a big player wanting a stake at the current give away price.

[sbb1x] 15/1/2021 10:01

New upward trend started ?

[sbb1x] 15/1/2021 09:56

The trend is your friend.

[sbb1x] 15/1/2021 09:48

Looks like this has finally woken up.

[tole] 15/1/2021 09:23

Damn pesky chart keeps enticing a look in and then never breaks out. There's always a few of these cursed ones about :-)So true.. I've still got a few here from the last move at 60p. Hopefully this time around it looks a little more promising with the increased volume. Fingers crossed.

[spectoacc] 15/1/2021 08:37

Tip or bottom or another false dawn....

[spectoacc] 13/1/2021 13:41

Sat on some here. Seems very cheap to me but latest lockdown won't be helping - more planning delays, nothing happening, more pressure on rent collection. All the while, debt still needs covering.

Most likely a poor year followed by a good one?

[sphere25] 13/1/2021 11:26

Some notable chunks going through here with a 600k, 250k and 150k. Standout exchanges ahead of the update on the 19th next week.

The chart keeps luring a look in here (really trying to take this one off the monitor! :-) ), clearly gets interesting if it breaks higher. Tried this one a few times before purely as a chart play and it never seems to push on and breakout. It's a jinx for me, fish and chips trade last time and losses before that on two attempts.

Is it M&G holding this back? They cut from 6.21% to 4.29% in June last year which was down to 5.38m shares.

IF there were to be some whoppers hitting the book (millions) before the update, will be tempted to have a go but trying to sit the jinxed one out!

Yup. Impairments are always difficult.

Bad numbers always take longer to add up than good ones Accountancy 101

[podgyted] 27/12/2020 20:49

Does anyone else think the interim results being delayed to 19 Jan 21 is a bit of a red flag?

Last year they came out on 19th November!
