Pretty decent amount..but the rise was much better a month ago !Thank you for asking.

Anyone got any thoughts on the Brazilian plane crash and its impact on GVC?

[invisage] 03/12/2016 16:52

Nurdin

How much is your portfolio up this year? %

[invisage] 03/12/2016 09:08

NurdinWhat's your YTD for the year pls ?

[nurdin] 03/12/2016 08:45

I wonder if the share price fall has anything to do with the Columbian plane crash which killed most players of a Brazilian football club? The players were on their way to play in the finals of Copa Sudaamerica which, needless to say had to be abandoned..I wonder what impact, if any, that will have had on GVCs revenues?

I apologise for discussing financial matters in relation to such a sad event.

[velod] 03/12/2016 00:57

Thanks. It's late again. G'night.

[festario] 03/12/2016 00:53

Nice strategy VeloD, good luck.... but not with any short on GVC!

[velod] 03/12/2016 00:44

Only hedging long when cash tied up Festy. Mostly will be going short. And not shorting on a regular basis. Planning to short only those in my own portfolio of stocks when fate decides it's absolutely necessary. Shares spend a considerable time going down as they do up - yet we only invest in half of that movement because the trend is overall in our favour. But what a waste. Two chances to invest and we choose only one of them. Who makes the rules that when your share decides on the opposite movement it's been on - you can't join it for awhile? This is no flash in the pan decision. Been planning and studying hard about adding this, since Spring. I'm fed up to the back teeth of getting signals that one of my shares is due to be hit only for it subsequently to do so, and not make any money out of it. Small single figure % profits is the plan. I believe those who think it's a get rich exercise are burnt the fastest. Will be seeking small % in profits. Then out. Then in again. Until I think the trend signals it's intention to reversal. Will be a raw beginner - so odds are stacked against me. Under no illusions. Set aside quite a budget. But I think getting out once a small single figure % profit is realised will be the key - not hanging on to short positions like I do in my long term portfolio mindset.

So what do you actually plan to do VeloD?Opening a long Spreadbet is just adding to your long holding exposure surely? Or are you thinking of going short to 'hedge'?

[velod] 02/12/2016 23:47

Well, that leaves things in a mess going into next week. A day that shows modern day markets move faster than ever. The back room boiler crews who use the strongest algorithms win the day. In a market that professionals admit is rigged it's the private investor with nothing like that, who is left to pick up the pieces. It's not enough to acknowledge the market is the market, and moving in one direction for whatever reason, whilst long term holders sit tight letting the 'riggers' take pot shots at their money. A modern day investor, I think, needs to hedge their long term investments when appropriate in such volatility, using a portion of seperate funds to protect their long term investments. Bringing forward my plans to open a spreadbetting acc with IG. Was delaying due to tax year reasons until April 2017. Also IG assure me that I won't cop for inactivity fees for my type of planned future, infrequent usage. I decided against action when the share price was clearly and definitivley registering as overbought in the days following FTSE250 promotion party atmosphere. That's what the market was telling anyone who cared to look, it was there for all to see, but the lure of the ftse promotion engendered a feeling of invulnerbility. Instead I've accepted thousands in profit down (profit down - not losses, so could've been worse). I'm left like most on here "believing" "waiting". Because like most on here GVC is one share where I'm well overweight. Yet it's a given the market owes you nothing. Why the ordinary man and woman investor ever let them themselves swallow the myth that only the big boys get involved in hedging their investments and that they instead must just sit there stark ballclock naked is a fallacy. It's no longer enough to train yourself in longer term/medium investing alone, and ignore protective hedging as not suitable for the ordinary investor. I may or may not post of my success/failure in this respect as don't know if I'll still be posting should the share price return to the 700 borders. But I'm done with year after year of being somone's potshot target. Natural market flucuations are one thing, and sitting tight and doing nothing worked in years gone by - but today the world's banks are tottering to varying degrees, they're all on the verge of charging anyone for daring to deposit cash in savings accounts with them, national debts are out out of control - so doing nothing to protect your investments in this day and age is no longer an option. Rambling again so I'm off.
- Support is same as recent lowest intraday a couple of weeks ago at 615p. Next support after that is bang on 600p! Resistance is - oh who cares, it's a lot higher. Indicators all giving thumbs down for Monday. And I've got nothing in place to defend myself! Nothing is certain for Monday so maybe when things look their darkest the surprising happens?

Thanks nurdin, that makes complete sense. We can expect to see regular RNSs everytime they issue a block of shares then. Only 200k issued in the last month.

[nurdin] 02/12/2016 21:18

Block listing doesnt mean the shares will be listed in one go It is just a notification to the stock exchange that the company intends to list a total of 11m odd shares in the future, in varying parcels and and at different times, for whatever reason.That way the company can negotiate only a single one off payment to the SE,avoiding the need for paying up for every individual announcement.At least that is my understanding.

[ballychan] 02/12/2016 19:38

Why did todays Total Voting Rights RNS not include the 11m odd shares?It only showed an increase of 200k shares from the last Voting RNS.Odd.

[woodhawk] 02/12/2016 18:56

I'm surprised that the old hands here seem to have forgotten this from 31-10-2016:

"An application has been made to the UK Listing Authority and to the London Stock Exchange for the blocklisting of 11,420,000 new ordinary shares"

With the run up we've had until September, it's not unheard of that there has been profit taking. And coupled with 11M+ new shares issued, it's hardly surprising the share price is temporarily low, is it? Simple economics - a temporary oversupply.

In retrospect, imo, this will be seen as another great buying opportunity similar to that of approx a year ago. But, like then, you have to have the courage of your convictions!

Double bottom anyone?

Updated Investor Alert: Social Media and Investing -- Stock Rumors

Nov. 5, 2015

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (“OIEA”) is issuing this Investor Alert to warn investors about fraudsters who may attempt to manipulate share prices by using social media to spread false or misleading information about stocks.

Social media and the Internet in general have become important tools for investors. Investors may use social media to research particular stocks, look up background information on a broker-dealer or investment adviser, find guidance on investing strategies, receive up-to-date news, and discuss the markets with others.

While social media can provide many benefits for investors, it also presents opportunities for fraudsters. Through social media, fraudsters can spread false or misleading information about a stock to large numbers of people with minimum effort and at a relatively low cost. They can also conceal their true identities by acting anonymously or even impersonating credible sources of market information.

One way fraudsters may exploit social media is to engage in a market manipulation, such as spreading false and misleading information about a company to affect the stock’s share price. Wrongdoers may perpetuate stock rumors on social media, as well as on online bulletin boards and in Internet chat rooms.

The false or misleading rumors may be positive or negative. For example, in a “pump-and-dump” scheme, promoters “pump” up the stock price by spreading positive rumors that incite a buying frenzy and they quickly “dump” their own shares before the hype ends. Typically, after the promoters profit from their sales, the stock price drops and the remaining investors lose money. In other instances, fraudsters start negative rumors urging investors to sell their shares so that the stock price plummets and the fraudsters take advantage of buying shares at the artificially low price...............................................

Even with a negative day on the price I still smile wryly to myself at the words Slippy...... followed by filtered Have a good weekend allM

Foxman

I was looking to enlighten you but now you can forget it.

You lot are clueless.

[foxman14] 02/12/2016 16:39

Slippery

Looking forward to having a good chuckle at 5.00 when you enlighten us all. LOL

[deadend] 02/12/2016 16:01

I concur Fest.

[festario] 02/12/2016 15:36

Slippy, you said it was 'holes in the accounts' until the company scared you off from making such libellous remarks.So, you're obviously just making it up as you go along.If you genuinely knew something (which you don't), and you genuinely had a short open, then if you had a brain cell you would blow the whistle on what you 'know', collapse the price and close the short.But, you're just a troll.

[slipperysidewinder] 02/12/2016 15:31

Nothing to do with Turkish lira

[festario] 02/12/2016 15:21

A significant portion of GVC business, (although less than it used to be pre-BPTY), is in Turkey.The Turkish Lira v the Euro has been savaged this last few weeks, and has today sunk to a record low.Even so, a 4% hit in one day on the value of the entire GVC group is overblown. But these things have a habit of gaining a momentum of their own.
