Great result Fest, keep it going ... chill and watch the big picture unfold.. :-)

307k

It does have the feel of a Katie feeding the ducks trade. I did note a few other largish sells around that time.

The share price took a dip as the stock came in. MMs short of stock heading towards going over the mids 140's and clearly that trade filled the book of an MM.

For the record coming into April, the amount left with Herald was 568,727 shares.

Fest

You kept part 2 quiet, a hugely worrying time for you in recent times and you must feel great relief today (no pun intended). So two bits of great news for you today.

[bisho4] 15/4/2019 17:07

Miton were out, according to superg, but I didn't think Herald (Katie) were done yet. They weren't hit with redemption requests in the way that Miton were.

Miton were the ones desperate to sell in Feb as the share price plummeted. Herald were selling into the rises, possibly as seen today.

From axotyl's L2 post, it's good to see the bid for 90,000 shares at 59p is still there. That's one of the shorting crew, as far as I can recall from word on twitter and on here last year. They should have cut their losses and closed out in the high 60s, but I guess their ego got in the way :) I would be surprised if the share price went under 100p again at this point.

But in a year we will be a bunch of old RICH crocks !!!

[davemac3] 15/4/2019 16:54

sounds like a bunch of old crocks on here :-)

[runthejoules] 15/4/2019 16:49

Next up for me is a hernia if they ever get round to it adej, and possibly some back work. I’d rather be out for that!

Can’t believe the price action today - the dangers of it going up too far too fast. I reckon some bought today & put in stops. Just goes to show MIND THE GAP.

(It wasn’t me either though I thought about selling my traders & should have) - get well soon all long term holders & those still underwater...

[1teepee] 15/4/2019 16:46

Aecom news tomorrow everyone

[kilgallp] 15/4/2019 16:45

Fest, glad it was good news from today's procedure, get well soon!

[adejuk] 15/4/2019 16:40

runthejoules
don't do either
ask for sedation unless it is really serious and requires a long process
surgeons prefer ga bec it makes their work easier even if it is not best for the patient.

[freddievas] 15/4/2019 16:40

Fest, you should be resting. Don't forget to remind them to open the market tomorrow though. Or maybe not...

[adejuk] 15/4/2019 16:38

easy money in, easy money out
tmrw is ano day

[festario] 15/4/2019 16:35

There is obviously another big amount sold too, but hidden for now, as you can see by all the last few buys getting progressively cheaper.

[festario] 15/4/2019 16:34

Not me, but I note someone was keen to ditch a big amount.It's a shame really, because this is exactly the time to hold your shares tightly and let them chase the price up. But no.

[freddievas] 15/4/2019 16:29

or maybe Fest hallucinating from his sick bed....

[freddievas] 15/4/2019 16:28

Woah! Let's hope it is (the end of Katy), though I thought she'd cleared out a few days ago.

[sportbilly1976] 15/4/2019 16:26

another large one through - 307k at 136

[rafboy] 15/4/2019 16:26
