downing strategic micro cap half year report comment :-



"Venture Life recorded an unrealised loss of £0.52 million for the period, with the carrying value being largely equal to cost at 28 February 2021. During the period we invested a further £0.67 million. Since the period end the shares have suffered as a result of a weak trading update, which highlighted the dependency on the second half earnings. As a result, Venture Life is currently trading behind our expectations and we are engaged with management regarding their remedial actions. We believe the company is capable of utilising its capacity through the effective distribution of the owned brands, but we need to see that management are able to execute on operational challenges, not just acquisitions."

Indeed, nice start to the week. With this momentum, we should hopefully see the back of 70p and settle there, where the graph seems to show support was following that trading update? DYOR

Buyers again

Very bullish move

Many thanks Deanowls.

There’s a buyer in the other side. It was basically a fire sale.

Now it depends on anyone wanting a quick buck, but fundamentally if they can sort out the few issues they have and rebase expectations along with bed in the new acquisitions. This looks cheap.

[andynaggers] 29/10/2021 10:01

Hi guys, newbie and I am trying to learn... what really happens when a large holder offloads like Blackrock did here? Is there a buyer on the other side? If so why doesn't it show up in the trades as someone has bought the offloaded shares?Andy

[qs99] 29/10/2021 08:45

Morning all

chugging along again nicely, chart IMO shows that c.70p was the range it stuck at until what looked like the start of the big boy selling...DYOR, but let's see if we can trend back towards that price, and wasn't ST in the IC punting it hard around then as well still?

Yeah bought right at the very low at 42.5 (how did I do that?) and thrilled it's made a 3 day high

[thedudie] 28/10/2021 16:47

I think they need to show their strategy is again working and also sort out China - even if it means ditching the existing deal, that is if they can find an alternate.
If they can do those two things then recovery much higher than 60p is assured.

[qs99] 28/10/2021 15:43

Have bought a few this morning for the momentum shift now massive seller has cleared. Underlying story still needs to convince the market, but IMO this was over 60p after last RNS, so maybe it will trend back towards there?

Bought in size

[nw99] 28/10/2021 14:37

Overhang cleared

[thedudie] 28/10/2021 13:50

Looks like overhang cleared so have bought a few more - a few pence better timed than last weeks buy. With economies improving post covid I can't believe sales won't go up significantly. Worth more.

[sphere25] 28/10/2021 12:45

First interesting bit of activity here in a while. Looks like a possible clear out of sellers at 40.5p with volume approaching a very significant 8.5m at the moment.

Stream of buys following those large trades in.

A quick short term bounce candidate?

50p looks key for a more significant bounce. IF it gets that far i.e. all sellers have been cleared, and 50p breaks, the bounce could be alot bigger but one step at a time.

Too many iffy statements of late to make a call beyond the short term and the next trading updates.

All imo
DYOR
Not active of late, maybe more so in future.

[qs99] 28/10/2021 12:37

8m traded looks like IMO a big seller may have cleared. DYOR naturally, but think this may as a trading play, trend back towards the 55-60p mark. May even get ST in the IC punting it hard again...DYOR and GLA

[lammylover] 28/10/2021 12:17

I've bought at 42.99p this morning - hoping the big sellers are out and price stabilizes a bit!

[nw99] 28/10/2021 12:12

Looks a buy here

[qs99] 28/10/2021 08:31

Agreed on that Whatja, management credibility defo in the doldrums to put it politely....need a few in fill deals they promised and organic growth / progress to even begin to put things right. DYOR etc

[whatja] 26/10/2021 14:37

Mcap of £54m…..and they raised £35m almost a year ago….

If the new businesses turn out to be well organised and as profitable as stated this is bargain territory….until we have 18-24m of financial performance we will not know for sure.

Many will not invest more….but if you believe then you should double down or more…it is an act of faith at present…I am going to wait for atleast the FY numbers as I would rather pay 60-70p with some promise of solidity than pay 45p for hope.
