How does the mystery buyer get them at 25p when others have to pay 25.5p.Anyway,nice to see more sizeable buying taking place.

[papalpower] 18/8/2005 13:06

100K buy at 25p, now there is a surprise.....NOT

[papalpower] 18/8/2005 12:57

ok merc I will not be greedy then, 50% interest rates and UNG share price of 5 pounds ok ?

[mercedes] 18/8/2005 12:41

Hey you two,I would be more than happy with 50%. greed is a terrible thing you know!!!!

[papalpower] 18/8/2005 12:28

Why not.....

Just started a new thread on Ki-Bi, looks good for a solid rebound.

[pomp circumstance] 18/8/2005 12:03

i didnt want to be too greedy!!!

[papalpower] 18/8/2005 11:59

100% would be better, would not have to worry about shares then could just stick in all in the bank and retire.

[pomp circumstance] 18/8/2005 11:53

i cant see them raising it straight away, would also give a sign that they dont know what theyre doing.
Personally i think interest rates should be 75% ;)

Pomp Circumstance read it this morning;

UK rate cut vote was 'close call'

MPC members said their cut could be reversed in coming months
The Bank of England's decision to cut interest rates to 4.5% was finely balanced, minutes of the meeting show.
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted by just five to four to cut rates by a quarter percentage point.

Bank of England Governor Mervyn King was one of the four against the cut, and those backing a drop felt the move could be reversed if needed in future.

The August cut had been widely expected, but the minutes suggest a further drop could be some way off.

how can interest rates go up? The high street is on its knees especially in London since the bombs! Any rise who kill it off completely!!

[papalpower] 18/8/2005 10:58

The MM's will be liking this if they have a buyer. It looks like a lot of people are exiting positions in many stocks worried the FTSE is about move down. Got an email this morning saying Bill Adlard thinks its time to short the FTSE and with interest rates likely to be going up again after just coming down he might be right, but for anyone to exit UNG at this moment in time is in my opinion daft with so much potential just around the corner.

On-line with Squaregain is 25.56p buying 23.52p selling but the dealing limits are 20k buying 75k selling.Thr T buyer lurks!DYOR.

[mercedes] 18/8/2005 10:02

Just checked with Barclays:- Buy 26p Sell 22p,crazy or what?

[papalpower] 18/8/2005 09:08

addict they are paying well over 23p for any sells so our buyer must be back for another 50K or 100K of shares today.

[addict] 18/8/2005 07:57

PapalPower,
It is very surprising that the sellers are leaving just as things are moving forward so positively.I expect the performance at HTEC to be very significantly ahead of last year and the sale of First Remit will also provide a boost to the numbers.Our T trade buyer is soaking up all the small sellers who should have learned more patience-the results are out shortly and will justify a re-rating I'm sure.DYOR.

[papalpower] 18/8/2005 05:40

addict you can see our T buyer getting them in, same one snapped up a load on Tuesday too.

Everything sold yesterday was purchased at 25p, which confirms why they raise the offer price so high and make a big spread to try to stop buyers, but anyone through a broker can buy under the offer price, just deters people when they look at it on the screen.

If its a large buy order we might see the bid officially go up to 23p today and they take sells at 24p, with the offer up to 28 or 28.5 to deter buyers again.

[addict] 17/8/2005 14:57

The mark up earlier to 22p/27p was probably designed to disguise the 50k trade @25p,as well as to discourage other buyers.Looking good to break out to 30p and beyond very soon.DYOR.

[papalpower] 17/8/2005 12:35

Another 50K buy goes through there to add on to the one yesterday late afternoon.

[papalpower] 17/8/2005 12:21

Your right addict, if you watch the way they are moving it they move the offer way up to make a massive spread to stop buyers, then put the bid up to get sellers, then a bit down on the offer for show and then go around again.

IMHO they are trying to get out sellers and stop any buyers, which means..........DYOR.

[addict] 17/8/2005 10:54

Market makers continue to tinker with the price-they were doing that when the bid was below 20p but with sentiment firmly behind the company now their games will achieve little in the way of big sells IMHO.

[papalpower] 17/8/2005 10:40

I think so to addict, the 50K end of the day yesterday would be part of it in my opinion and we might see more today and tomorrow. The MM's seem to be hunting for sellers.

[addict] 17/8/2005 10:34

PapalPower,
I think there is a large buy order being filled.A re-rating coupled with positive results next month will send them up strongly.My largest portfolio holding now.DYOR.

[papalpower] 17/8/2005 09:55

Watching the sells over time in the past 6 months I would say a lot of the lower resistance levels are sold out already, they will have to keep going a long way up to get major sells in my opinion.

[pomp circumstance] 17/8/2005 09:45

top bombing!

[papalpower] 17/8/2005 09:44

Pomp Circumstance your wish is my command.
