% shares in free float     

Activmoto - 16 Aug 2013 11:22

interested to hear views on the impact of a small % of shares available for trading in a company.

I'm holding a share which has 68% held by funds and company directors. I suspect there is additional number held by long term holders, so the free float is small.

The split is 62.5% Funds & 7.5% company directors. The biggest fund has been adding more in recent days which has got me thinking.

This sounds good if something prompts buying but what's the down side?

any past experiences would be good the hear
