Shorting crew primed and ready

Excellent post and if I was lucky enough to of bought at 0.17p and sold at 1p. Then I would of done my usual mistake and bought too soon at 0.8p to only be crushed back to close to 0.17p.

Fortunately I will be celebrating to see my 0.6p short in profit tomorrow :).

This reminds me of Churchill Mining where hoper's thought they had won before the result was in. In my experience the crowd are wrong every time.

Galleo, Langbar, Oxus Gold, Churchill Mining etc.

Maybe I'll get an answer from this board? Why would such a big announcement be contained within an RNS reach non reg? One idea I had was that the new brokers thought it would be good PR but had no idea that the share price would rocket quite so much. Any thoughts ...... Bueller ......anyone .........

The astonishing 500% rise in the share price of Fitbug Holdings PLC (LON:FITB) on Wednesday suggests the market is starting to believe.Before today's announcement of a huge contract win with a global financial services customer to provide "digital wellness" services to some 14,000 employees, the fitness tracking group might well have been thought of as a "me too" company.When one of those companies perceived to be a sector peer is electronics giant Apple, then a bit of doubt is understandable.Throw in a bit of confusion with the similarly named but much, much larger US company, the wearable health and fitness monitoring device maker Fitbit, and reticence to back the new management's focus on business-to-business (B2B) sales is even more understandable, even if the change of direction took it out of direct competition with Apple and Fitbit.Stretch-two-three-four, and pivot-two-three-fourAnna Gudmonson, who took over as chief executive officer in August 2015, said in June that management had "identified an attractive opportunity within the growing B2B corporate wellness market", but investors remained sceptical; the share price drifted lower in the second half of 2016."Corporate budgets for employee wellness are rising, and we have experienced demand for an integrated employee wellness solution," Gudmonson said back in June.It seems few believed her. Well, as the popular football chant (sung to the tune of "(S)he's a jolly good fellow") has it: "now you're gonna believe us, and now you're gonna believe us".Before today's announcement, Fitbug was already being used by global corporations to create a positive culture of health, maximise performance, reduce absenteeism and the risk of chronic illness among employees, and lower insurance premiums.Monitoring the signsInterim results covering the first half of 2016 showed a 52% increase in like-for-like sales in the B2B sector to £562,219, so clearly the new strategy was, as the sales people like to say, "gaining traction".True, the company also made a thumping half-year loss of £1.65mln, but this was about half the loss it suffered in the same period of 2015.Besides, making a loss for technology start-ups is the norm, even for one that helped pioneer the whole fitness-focused wearable technology scene back in 2015.So, perhaps we should have seen this coming.On the other hand, an order for 14,000 devices? That's big, for a company that yesterday was barely worth £2mln.Throw in the recuring revenue from additional services, and by the time of the full-year results for 2017, the company could find itself in rude health.Share John-H.jpgJohn Harrington

Well I was £5000 up at 2pm on this on a £800 punt and I had no idea. I checked my watchlist but I had not put this stock on it. 600 per cent plus up and did not sell ....blissfully unaware...not good. Will have to wait now and hope the news is ok.

[tivoliworldgaming] 18/1/2017 20:46

£800 pp at 0.6p. Is an easy position to manage without a stop loss. I was down £168 at the close. My account is -£200 on the leverage, and I have Churchill Mining leverage to back it up with. I am just trying to decrease the debt for when Churchill delists from AIM.

If I lose it all tomorrow I will still be up on my investments compared to 2 weeks ago thanks to KOD SRSP and another ticker which I can't remember now lol

Big placing coming hold on tomorrow will be very very badThe placing participants are having good whiskey tonight courtesy of the lemmings that follow Twitter rampers

[chesty1] 18/1/2017 20:27

If it is a placing its not a problem at all. After todays volume any placing will be absorbed into the market with ease.Great rns today and if placing then money behind it going forward....Is this the last of the big contracts, I think not.

The amount of cash calls he will have received and if not answered they will have closed his short! so expect he will have a substantial loss on his account. Or he is full of s---.
