Re: Slipping now Jump Does anyone yet have a clear idea of the discount? The trustnet data says its a 54% discount which, if true, means the value of the assets is double the share price.Its too good to be true I know - has anyone figured out the true discount ? I think it is around 16-20% but any other views ?
Re: Slipping now Jump In the recent document, they say they may offer all or part of the business for sale.
Re: Slipping now Jump 5% jump today to 875/887.No obvious big purchases.Any suggestions?
Re: Slipping Some nice free shares, there! They don't say what the trigger price is though.
Re: Slipping Well if Witan purchased 2.6 million shares in early March where did the MMs get them from? Perhaps they are still short and drop the price to encourage sells ... pure speculation. Like others waiting to buy ... first started holding these back in the 90's
Slipping It's beginning to look as if those big guys didn't time their purchases too well. But why is ELTA slipping? I continue to watch with a view of buying in at some stage, and my guess is that the sp is falling back simply because the co is not doing anything to create interest. I did see some strange trades a couple of days ago: a series of single share sales which, according to one piece I read may be market makers signalling something to one another. What exactly they may have been signalling is a mystery. Pleased that I've resisted the temptation to buy back in just yet.
Re: Views anyone? Looks like Witan Investment Trust purchased 2,687,087 shares on 8 March 2018
Re: Views anyone? Well with gritted teeth and some optimism I have taken the plunge and bought back.
Re: Views anyone? Hargreaves give a discount of about 19%, which seems to offer value. Also, a couple of big boys bought in a short while ago if I remember correctly. Another good sign. However, didn't management state that they could not see anything worth investing in at present? The fact that they are not prepared to put money in unless they think it worth their while is also a good sign. However, how long will we have to wait until they think they do? And what about the dividend? I'm looking for a bit more clarity here.
Re: Views anyone? In that case I will get my pet octopus Bob to make the decision 😃
