Re: directors jumping? If directors were happy to cash-in their options back in June for around 90p, then its maye best to kiss this share goodbye for a while.Something odd is going on. I shall keep you updated about the next Sp targets here!

directors jumping? ...quite interesting to see that company directors were either excercising all of their options (cashing-in) or done quite a few SELLs lately.[link] Hamilton 106.47 GBX 100,000 120000 17-Jun-15 Sell Trade Notifier Information for Petra Diamonds Ltd.(DI)Jim Davidson 155 GBX 750,000 640000 17-Jun-15 Sell Trade Notifier Information for Petra Diamonds Ltd.(DI)David Abery 155 GBX 250,000 1979649 17-Jun-15 Sell Trade Notifier Information for Petra Diamonds Ltd.(DI)Johan Dippenaar 155 GBX 750,000 640000 17-Jun-15 Sell Trade Notifier Information for Petra Diamonds Ltd.(DI)Adonis Pouroulis 155 GBX 250,000 9564650 17-Jun-15 Buy Trade Notifier Information for Petra Diamonds Ltd.(DI)Anthony Lowrie 155.05 GBX 1,000,000 1000000 15-Jun-15 Exercise of option Trade Notifier Information for Petra Diamonds Ltd.(DI)Adonis Pouroulis 85 GBX 250,000 9814650 15-Jun-15 Exercise of option Trade Notifier Information for Petra Diamonds Ltd.(DI)Johan Dippenaar 85 GBX 750,000 1390000 15-Jun-15 Exercise of option Trade Notifier Information for Petra Diamonds Ltd.(DI) David Abery 85 GBX 250,000 2229649 15-Jun-15 Exercise of option Trade Notifier Information for Petra Diamonds Ltd.(DI)Jim Davidson 85 GBX 750,000 1390000 What a bunch of p l onkers!

Re: Under the cosh! Goodness! RSI just under 13, and increased volume, but is that full capitulation? Some confusion over price on iii too. Its anyones guess as to whether PDL can recover properly from here, or bounce and then continue the downtrend.

Re: Under the cosh! 96p broken. Now then, where next? Any bang on predictions?

Re: Under the cosh! There's certainly seems to be a whiff of panic lately from the bigger players with reports of price reductions, inventory stocking to hold back supply, marketing campaigns in China's newer growth cities etc.I don't know about 60p, but perhaps the historic 96/97p support may be too obvious now and may be severely tested with the soft market is predicted into next year and beyond? We'll see?

Re: Under the cosh! I agree Andy about your long term thoughts. Although there was some splendid volatility yesterday! However, it does need to stay above 95p - £1.00, but given what we now know about the company, the prices of diamonds and the china buyers, there still could be trouble ahead..

Re: Under the cosh! tt - the longer term weekly chart show strong support around 60p! Doesnt seem possible right now, but IF markets really got nasty its a possibility I suppose. I am just happy to sit on cash for the most part now, until things become clearer.

Re: Under the cosh! Indeed, yet Motley Fool and a hatful of brokers still see long term value? As you say just a few pips away from which its bounced a few times over recent years.Nearly five weeks in free fall and a share price roughly half of that at the turn of the year, could we be witnessing the final squeeze from the titans capable of moving a market? We'll see soon enough I guess?TT

Under the cosh! Sentiment really dire for poor old PDL, and the jj article isn't exactly helpful - prospects look very unclear. The 5 year chart shows that IF the 96/97p area is breached the SP could certainly suffer some more. The break below the bottom of the trading channel was a warning with heeding.

Re: Lowrie I don't know who Lowrie is (!), but if he is on the mgt board there is plenty of examples of mgt buying the shares only for them to tank. So I don't put as much on such purchases as others might.£1.084 to buy now.
