so nothing to keep an eye on then?

 

 

Yes but try to concentrate and keep your eyes on the multitudes of half-dressed slappers that abound in the city at this time of year.Soon be winter

and it'll all disappear under coats and trousers.

@ 28p each?? 100,000 is a £28k punt in a rising market. Hardly a takeover...

 

The LSE maybe rising, however SLH is losing money, has a reducing income (attendance is down) and has been part of a hostile board change. Not where I would put my £28k unless I knew something ... As you say "Hardly a takeover" but not as I said a speculative punt either ... the next week could be entertaining

Yeh, I go down to the new forest with my pet pig and snuffle them up.

Its funny I got the impression it would have been a Brazillian rain forest, but it takes all types

More shares traded in the last 48 hours than in the whole of June.....

 

Now, how interesting is that I ask?

 

Would not read to much into it at the moment Trousers. Same thing happened a while back in the "tommac" era and nothing happened then.

 

Look for the £1m+ movements and maybe then we will have something to talk about. Movement of shares is small fry at present.

Agree "in the general scheme of things" but the share movements over the last 48 hours are 'many hundreds' percent higher than anything we have seen since the Tommac era.

 

But as you say, that came to nowt so this latest shift in trading pattern will no doubt have little substance behind it either.....probably....

I think it is safe to say that in view of Lowe Group/Wilde/Crouch shareholdings the first thing that will happen is an offer document being put to the plc board. At that stage the shareholders and LSE will be advised.

 

Remember what Wilde said about the right offer recently.

 

Looking for share movement is not going to give a clue imho.

I reckon 'Trader' or 'Diggers' will know what's going on.

 

I don't know what's going on, but if I were to speculate on a movement in share price I would go the spread bet route.

 

Much better than buying the bloody things.

I agree with Weston.

 

Anything of any significance will involve dialogue between the acquirer and the major shareholders, not relatively minor transactions on the LSE.

Unless someone in the photocopying department gets wind of the content before it's sent out and leaks the info which then manifests itself in a few 'relatively significant' share trades "just in case" something comes of it ahead of the share price starting to rocket.....

 

Just a bumkum (sic) theory of course.

Most of us would like to see Saint's shares bought in large numbers by someone intending to spend money on the team - not 'invest' in shares but SPEND on the team. Although, spending could not happen now until January, anyway.

These share movements are NOT large numbers. As already pointed out, what matters is the trading price of about 28P a share, not the face value. So, only about £30,000 of shares transactions, and this may not even be £30K of shares if it is a smaller block being bought and then sold. Nothing to get excited about.

Agree, but people are (correctly IMHO) pointing out a change in trading patterns here rather than highlighting the absolute amounts.

 

The change is 'significant' if compared to trading patterns over the last 6 months but is indeed small fry in the general scheme of things.

 

Just a humble opinion of course.

Someone bought the shares hoping that it would generate more traffic on this site. People have been complaining how quiet it has been, now there is something to speculate about. ;)

 

using the £5 subs, its all falling into place now!
