Anyone seen a reason for a 7% drop today?

great looking chart but too slow moving for a quick trade sadly. But good for those who are medium term investors who should be happy just to hold stock.

This is such an over-valued stock. The whole sector is lucky to get a double digit PE and this stock has a PE of over 20. There are no more rich Irish brickies to place 5 grand on the eurovision song contest. This looks like a great short going into results which will probably be dire.

No high rollers left in Ireland



WITH less than two weeks to the start of the Cheltenham Festival, Victor Chandler, one of the world's biggest bookmakers, has warned that there are no "high rollers" left in Ireland.

"There's just no money in Ireland. It's destroyed. The number of bets is better, but the business is smashed. We've got no big players. Everyone seems to have been damaged," he said last week

This really is uncanny.. every time I decide it's time to sell these, the price goes up.

Good news from PAP again.. I keep looking at the PE ratio and thinking I should sell as it could look very overpriced if anything slipped.. but while I'm wavering it keeps going up.

At the current €21.88 share price, Paddy Power is valued at almost €1.05bn -- more than Glanbia, Aer Lingus or Greencore, the alma mater of CEO Paddy Kennedy (above).

With analysts forecasting 2009 operating (pre-interest) profits of €65m, Paddy Power is valued at over 15 times operating profits when likely year-end cash balances of almost €60m are stripped out.

That's not cheap. From my vantage point, the share price only makes sense if someone is getting ready for a crack at Paddy Power. If you believe that a deal is coming, hang on to your shares; if you don't, sell out now and take your profits

During the period, the Group put on a hat with corks hanging from the brim, downed some Fosters and announced its entry into the attractive Australian betting market
