Remember also that once you get into the closed period (next week?) - then directors cannot sell their shares at all - so if he does need the money - then he has little choice.

See how the timing of the RNS now makes sense. EVO no doubt.

It would not surprise me to see an RNS tomorrow with an update or even end of year close statement - after all wont EVO have been involved in the timing of todays RNS.

Didn't Balchin sell some options when the SP was about 4p? Surely he knew what was round the corner but decided to sell.
If one needs the money then one has no choice.

Some posters seem to spend most of their lives asleep, or seeing 30p by Xmas.
Down another -5% is the truth, sane people were derided as "mad " to say it would fall to 14p, it has.
Director selling today of the "Jewel in the Crown"-lol, tomorrow the dip has to be aided by that piece of `sanity`, 10p next target, and then down some.

bbhunt, that's the only thing I can see that'll save the day. Next RNS, unfortunately, will be the end of ASDA tests, and then FDA approval. Weeks to go. Let's hope for the best. Maybe they'll announce a date for the filter auction.

Can't see what all the fuss is about. If I could pocket over 75K for sod all and still have half my share option, I'd be happy. good on him...... wish it was me.
It's all getting a bit personal , hang in there oblomov.
It's my money and I'll decide how I want to spend it. So the price has dropped , still up over 200%. Have lots of faith and it ain't BLIND.
The good times for the shorters are sadly limited. but I wish them well.
Never expected any news until after full FSA approval re starpol. So am willing to wait A LOT LONGER.

I see that ` those in the know` (nowt), consider that EVO were chosen from all others as they ` are not as inclined to allow shorting as the previous incumbent`,
deep breath!!!!!!!!

im a fan of this share but have no present holding. i find it odd that large selling is occurring now ( for whatever reason ) when days ago the profit( loss ) could have been much larger ( smaller ).

Oblo - I am not an expert on this - not sure if its a STX rule or an internal rule - but most companies have a closed period 6-8 weeks ahead of the announcement of results where senior managers cannot sell.
I do not know when the results are due to be published - last year it was end of February - which would imply a January something close.
Others may know more specifically than me.
Sorry not to be more help

Thanks Baza,
that would possibly explain the reason for selling now - needed money for Christmas shopping!
Superod,
Total buys today 4,317,745
sells 1,895,940
+ unknowns (which looked like buys) of 4,889,550
Wheres the 'large selling' you're talking about?

Juste pondering upon how todays buyer of excess of 3 million and the 2 buyers of lm+ are feeling after watching SEO board exercise 4m options @ 14p. ln saying that, Balchin exercised an option at 4p only to watch them advance to 10p within a week, and to 32p, a few months later. When questioned he explained the sale was a tax matter.- as simple as that ,,,Hmm .. Perception is obviously not the strong suite at SEO. But to declare the sale in the wake of having juste left court does not exactly inspire confidence . The hearing was basically nothing more than protocol ; a very short statement of intent of both parties, an oppertunity to ensure all neccassary witnesses,s & documents are available to the court thus allowing Jacob LJ ,the residing judge ,to set { direct } a definitive time for the main appeal. But what a time for those absolute turds @ SEO to sell !!! . Absolutely F****G gauling. !! An absolute piss take . Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Had they no PR in their employ to warn them of the perils of such delicate timing . Obviously not . This action infers 14p is as good as it gets for the time being . Even the most optimistic cannot be sleeping as easily tonight : with most glued to a pc screen at 7 ,.. An excellent point Superod . lt had entered my mind . ...@+ J

On that sobering note - bed
