It has been rewarding and instructive to read all of today's posts. Against the background of a deep red day on all the idices, SCRC has shown great strength – almost 20% up on yesterday's close, together with strong volume.

Maybe the quietness on both boards is due to a sense (here, at least) that this kind of consistent buying has something preordained, almost inevitable about it. The lack of selling pressure is very welcome, too. As Celtics has rightly pointed out, the factor of notes being converted, and shares being sold for that reason, is bound to dwindle from now on.
