Buy low, sell high?

It seems that Rico purchased an additional 200,000 shares yesterday @ £2.07

https://www.londonstockexchange.com/exc ... 85901.html

So the number of the total shares actually purchased by the Chief Executive @ circa 2 quid yesterday was = 300,000.

Comments?

You say that but I was considering purchasing 100 000 shares at £2.07 until I realised I don't actually have 200k to spare.
Does Rico work in numberone's office perchance?

Wasn't it part of his contract to buy shares with the massive bung he was given.

No

You are confusing that with the bonus share awards he must retain as part of his remuneration package

Is that not insider trading?

The boss of a company, cuts the share dividend, the shares fall on their arse and he starts buying...

I don't think the dividend was cut so Rico could buy cheap shares,it was done so more money could be invested in the company to help us compete.
Also it was expected by many City analysts that the dividend would be cut.

Compete show us the money more like he drove the price down invest £1.8 billion in paying poor managers off and spend the rest on PSM and other kit to reduce head count while he benefits at great cost to us all.
