Brickability (LON:BRCK) significant director sales announced today. Sounds like one of them (non exec) is stepping down. Divisional director sold 15% of holding so still holds significant sum. Also shares sold without a discount. SP down today in reaction but finding support and 66p.
Results are on 14th July so these directors sold just ahead of the 30 day closed period.
I’ve added at 66p.

Tricky decision. Either, something has gone wrong and we should sell. Or they have reasons to take the cash now before they are prevented by the 30 day rule and this is a buying opportunity. I sold some at 70p so I’ve bought them back at 66p.

I am in for the fun ride here (despite low confidence in company prospects (mostly poor track record of downgrades ) - what is interesting is that stocky still has momentum score at a pp 2 despite the trend looking ok at present
when might this change for the better ??ref stocky numbers ? - i am guessing the long term chart here is so damn poor that its fighting a losing battle trying to take any "long term positive" in the graph even if for the last couple of months its doing very nicely thank you. Probably quite right too - as even the worst shares will probably have periods where they look like they are doing well to a chartist - only for same old same old to return - probably when teh next profit warning turns up :)
the one positive here is the 2026 numbers look so much better than 2025 - in that regard with their history of downgrades and uber low margins i am loathe to presume the next banana skin is not on the way.
Hey ho we need some fun punts to keep us going - certainly have my finger on the sell button here ready and waiting for any downgrades.

The joy of trying to spot a turnaround at an early stage. So long as the SP stays above the support lines I’ll hold. Thanks for highlighting.

Afternoon gents, such good weather i've stayed away from the markets, 100% invested anyway so i'm happy to go with the flow for now.
Anyway just wanted to say well done to the Synthomer (LON:SYNT) boys, you've done really well, I somehow bought it high and sold it low for a nice quick head scratch of a loss ;)
Have to say the quality of the ideas on this thread continues to rise, not overloaded with quantum, just really good observations.
It's a real shame Wolf left Stockopedia, he would have been pleased with how this has all unfolded.
So if anyone speaks with him on Paul's substack be sure to tell him he's missed and make his way back here!

Well you could wager twice on Synthomer (LON:SYNT) Mr Onions, it's early days I think and while the cup and handle is an interesting sign the SP has hardly broken initial resistance yet, long term DMA's still going south, 50 day only just seeming to turn, SP not long since moved out of downtrend. Plenty of risk. No broker notes. Why not sell something in your portfolio that's safe, cheap, has growth, dividend and upgrades, and then have another flutter?!
You're right on the thread, I noted we went through 50,000 reads recently, and more significantly we'll soon be on 2,000 comments. Worth the subscription fee. Revs8 basically said as much the other week after his return from AWOL. I'm sure others feel the same.

I can give you all an unerringly accurate call on future big market moving events! Just ask me when I am booked to go to the Lake District. I was here when the Japanese Yen carry trade unfolded Aug 4 last year, the first week of April this year for Trump’s Liberation Day tariff debacle and now I am here for the mid June Israel/Iran conflict. Interestingly, being away from my desk has stopped me dealing and so far apart from a few potential dip buys from last August it has paid off.
I couldn’t agree more re the quality of ideas on here, although the current market sentiment especially in small cap UK stocks does lend itself to breakouts and pullbacks being profitable trades. I’ve not had time or inclination to have a close look at today’s movements as I’ve been out up a mountain getting soaking wet but a brief glance tells me it is another positive day .

Re Wolf. I joined Paul Scott’s substack but have not seen any posts/comments from Wolf, I’m not sure he is using the same handle or maybe he (like me) has joined and hasn’t made any comments as yet. There seems to be a number of ex Stockopedia subscribers that have migrated to PS substack and now don’t post on the former.

HI Tein, you're probably right I should reconsider Synthomer (LON:SYNT) but I already spent the proceeds, topped up my Gulf Marine Services (LON:GMS) an easier stock to understand and less risky I think, maybe, who knows.....
