(Alliance News) - Letter and parcel carrier Royal Mail on Friday said Chief Executive Officer Rico Back bought GBP537,676 worth of shares in 13 transactions on Thursday.

Back purchased a total of 300,000 shares at an average price of GBP1.79 each. His total shareholding following the transactions was not disclosed.

The stock was trading 3.8% lower at 172.15 pence each on Friday afternoon in London.

Royal Mail had been London's worst-performing stock on Thursday, dropping 5.5%, after saying it will miss its productivity target and warning its core UKPIL business could be loss-making in the upcoming 2021 financial year.

The stock was priced at 330p in its 2013 initial public offering.

The question has to be why. All he does is talk the future of the company down and criticise it and yet hoover up millions of pounds worth of shares!!! Th fat f**k is up to something crooked. Surely this should be referred to some sort of regulatory body for a closer look.

[Celgar]

Pigs, rats, & cockroaches are three of the most intelligent creatures on planet Earth so to associate Rico Black with any of those creatures would be an insult to them.
I am not sure Rico was obligated to make the most recent comments he said regarding RM especially as they were just his opinion and as a wise man once said ' opinions are like ****holes - everyone has got one '
Given that he has followed on from his damaging & inaccurate suppositions by increasing his portfolio with more RM shares at a knockdown price I also wonder why this doesn't fall under insider trading or other regulations.
We live in a corrupt world I am afraid.
