Second RNS today was interesting, Gates has increased Oceanwood's stake, I think you're right Gargoyle2 100p doesn't seem unrealistic, I believe ST is going to update them in one of his columns soon too, that usually stimulates a bit but even without that a trading update next month should do the trick.

Interesting RNS today. The new 3% shareholder seems to be a senior guy in the WHI corporate department (check the WHI website under 'key people'), so he probably has a fair idea how the company is performing. It would be interesting to know over what period he acquired the rest of his stake. A good sign wnayway. For the chartists, the share price has just broken out above its 18 month high too. I can see these getting back to a quid pretty quickly. They were almost double that 6 years ago.

Thanks isalolly. I'm not sure that buying when you know that one investor wants to sell 5% and another wants to buy 5% constitutes insider trading.

Not surprised to see the price ticking up. I tried to top up this morning and couldn't get any more than 1000 at the 75p asking price, so ended up not buying. Director buys and Oceanwood Capital coming on board (for over 5%) have to be positive signs. Haven't managed to find out much about Oceanwood, other than it is has an 'event driven' approach to investment. Not sure what the particular event here is. Maybe Killingbeck's deal with the ESOP - that gives him some good targets to aim at.

Rigged.......They must have a big carpet !!!! Investigations may still be going on, but unless it goes to court or censures issued we may never know.

is this the co. were managers and/or dirs. left because of FSA investigation and insider dealing ?

did they get fined btw ....or was it all forgotten after they left their jobs ...and are they now back working at other UK financial houses ?

Nice director buy keeping the price firm today. Good to see.

Handled the THAL placing announced today - £18.5mln gross proceeds

Never been exactly clear, but I read somewhere that there were certain trading irregularities. No idea if they are true or not.

[meijiman] 15/10/2013 14:31

so if the company did well during his tenure why get rid of him?

[gargoyle2] 15/10/2013 13:23

Nice RNS. Obviousy part of the settlement with Compton that they say how much the company advanced during his tenure. Good to see the back of him imo.

All brokers must have been coining it today with RMG IPO!

[paleje] 27/9/2013 09:14

Good point brownie and one to watch for signs of in the next trading update which should be December. Nice quiet under-radar hold for earnings upgrades or takeover interest, think we'll see a much better share price by year end.

[brownie69] 24/9/2013 12:44

The IPO market well and truly open again. Got to be a real boost to smaller brokerages like WHI

[gargoyle2] 16/9/2013 13:57

Slowly getting back towards a sensible valuation here imo..

[brownie69] 02/9/2013 18:17

Ongoing strength. IC effect must be passed so it could be someone trying to accumulate a stake. Would not be at all surprised if a bid came as the market is picking up and these are as cheap as chips once the cash and property are stripped out.

[gargoyle2] 19/8/2013 14:54

Unless it's been tipped, this rise smells like a bid imo.

[meijiman] 19/8/2013 13:58

might be a bid target perhaps. Could be 100p and not look expensive but the market, probably rightly, discounts for low quality earnings.

[xlairways] 19/8/2013 10:37

Good gain here again.
