Adding myself last week and this, on the back of steering here from my good friend Jeff H, who generously shares his research with me and is a respected poster on ADVFN. Many thanks Jeff.Look forward to tomorrow with confidence, and happy to see the share price gaining traction with what appears to be plenty of meat left on the journey North from here.NB, a similar thanks for MMH Jeff, gaining traction too.

warming up imo...

I'm not particularly concerned with the share price right now, as I think this will re-rate when the year end figures are out. A progressive company with and experienced BOD and following a proven model in a market place with lots of potential. The share price will only be heading one way.

Good to see last night's rise being maintained this morning, and with a sell achieving 119.17p just now (the current mid-price is 119.5p, don't believe the thread header chart!), hopefully things are set fair.

No date published yet for the final dividend; as you suggest apeman I expect it to be announced tomorrow.

Thanks Janekane,

Interim was last June according to the header, so I am expecting they will announce it tomorrow and pay at the end of the month?

[janekane] 17/1/2017 05:01

June I think

Interesting close tonight, above what has seemed to be a crucial 118p offer and with a few small buys at 119p reported late.

If it holds tomorrow then perhaps we're looking at a decent rise upwards.

Hopefully Dibbs, trading update on Wednesday so everyone should be piling in. I'm feeling confident so am adding tomorrow.

[dibbs] 16/1/2017 21:59

Some big trades this afternoon at 117p and a firming of the bid afterwards. Could the flat lining patient be coming to life?

Dibbs

I agree, convention is for a decent move to follow a consolidation period. The longer the sideways trading period the larger the move. I too hope for an upward move and like most things there are always exceptions to rules and accepted thinking!

Having bought in yesterday, I rather hope the next move will be up!

[rivaldo] 13/1/2017 13:41

A 3% holding would be around 7.5m shares, so any holding underneath that might have taken some time to clear.

In addition, for reasons I can never remember some funds don't have to disclose movements in total grouped holdings below (from memory) 10% (and possibly 5% as well?). I have no idea whether major holders here like GLG, Schroders, Miton, BlackRock, Seek Ventures etc fit the bill in this respect.

You're right - I've often noticed the same as regards a small move up above a certain level leading to a much bigger rise.

[jonwig] 13/1/2017 12:39

There's been no holdings RNS since last July, so I doubt a big holding institution is selling down. And if it's PDMRs, they'd have to disclose every trade. (Header is up to date.)

Strange, the share price. I read once that a flatline usually breaks out strongly ... in one direction.

[rivaldo] 13/1/2017 12:28

Good to see the price back up. It seems that around 118p is the area at which the seller decides to offload. Any break above this would hopefully see a decent re-rating.

Shanklin, who knows, perhaps a fund is overweight or there's been a change of fund policy or manager. Often these things have absolutely nothing to do with the stock itself and everything to do with external factors.

[shanklin] 12/1/2017 10:28

It would be interesting to know the seller's motivation for disposing of shares at current levels.

[rivaldo] 12/1/2017 09:34

Encouraging to see buys at 119.5p and 119.75p this morning, and the spread now much better.

Is the seller finally out or nearly out?

[paleje] 12/1/2017 08:47

Spread a bit tighter than showing, needs volume. I thought sentiment generally was improving a bit and WJG's particular niche should see them on a higher rating, perhaps that will only start to happen after next week's numbers.

[janekane] 12/1/2017 08:09

The spread on this is unbelievable

[2vdm] 11/1/2017 18:01

Thanks for keeping us updated SPELL. Much appreciated.

Strange this is so weak with results next Wed. Out of favour sector I guess.
