Well its fair to say 888 are not out performing.They were steady for a fair while
but looking fairly weak at the moment.General market sentiment or something else.Takeover more likely or not.Any views?

Must be the true definition of a tree shake

That's why stop losses work. They do protect you when prices tank like it has recently. Irrespective how strong the fundamental case may be (as I have explained on this board at length, it undoubtedly is for 888), if the trend is not your friend then forget about it. Unless there is a sustainable bullish catalyst (wig the Fed bringing back QE / introduce -ve rates in the US) for the broader equity market, it's probably best to avoid 888 all together. When the whole stock market goes down it does not discriminate between good and bad companies. Good luck all

You should think a bit more before you write. It's called playing the fundamental case if only if momentum is on your side. Buy higher and higher only with tight stop losses in place. When the trend breaks down I get out. It's called having a plan to get out before you get in. Apparently you are happy to hold all the way down to zero as you may be the British version of Warren Buffett. I am not and I don't like mistakes very much. Soros / Druckenmiller / Paul Tudor Jones - do this names mean anything to you? Good luck

TongostiInteresting post.So your strategy is to sell low and buy high.There are a few around who follow that technique but usually don't admit it.

[tongosti] 29/1/2016 15:18

As I mentioned a few days back my stop loss got me out at 169p and will not come back in unless we break the 190 level. Good weekend all

[tongosti] 29/1/2016 15:17

Stock selling off strongly on a good day for the markets. Looks suspicious and I must admit I don't need like relative strength evaporating.

[jamesjoel] 28/1/2016 03:32

Cheers Davie should help the price increase as trackers will now buy the shares.

[davieday2] 27/1/2016 22:54

bit of news !!

[tongosti] 20/1/2016 13:09

My stop loss just got me out. Will keep looking at 888 like a hawk though. Will only get in if the price action reverses

No reason for the fall and we know the results are going to be good maybe with William Hill posting a good trading statement today and with no mention of acquisitions the MMs have decided to mark it down

[tongosti] 14/1/2016 14:02

Don't like the price action as of late. If it goes below 169 my guaranteed stop loss ability will get me out completely. Hopefully, it won't go that low

I am already in pal scaling in as the price heads north has always served me well. Apparently you go in all in in one go. Live and let live - good luck to you fella

[trentendboy] 04/1/2016 16:59

Impressive - wait until the share price goes up and then buy.

[tongosti] 04/1/2016 16:35

Brilliant strength amidst a sea of red today. If we take out the 193p level, seriously thinking of quadrupling my stake here as am very impressed with the resilience of 888.

[tongosti] 31/12/2015 16:14

Closing near 52 week highs. Rock solid business enjoying a stellar balance sheet. Positive relative strength. All points to a good 2016, most likely. Happy New Year everyone!

888 spins M&A wheel

Gambling operator eyes acquisition targets amid earnings upgrade
Emily Perryman

Online gambling group 888 (888) is well-positioned to consolidate the market through mergers and acquisitions following a strong second half for the £610 million cap. 888 lost out on its bid for Bwin.Party (BPTY) to its smaller rival GVC (GVC:AIM) in September, but says it is continuing to focus on a small number of possible targets.

The group already has competitive advantages says its own proprietary technology and a limited reliance on third party suppliers. This means it can offer unique products, bring them to market quickly and sidestep the platform capacity constraints that affect other gambling companies.

888 says EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) for the year ending 31 December 2015 will be at the top end of analysts’ expectations, namely $78 million, due to strong trading in its casino and sports businesses. Full year EBITDA will still be 22.5% lower year-on-year due to the impact of the Point of Consumption tax.

As well as being a consolidator, 888 could be a bid target for bookmaker William Hill (WMH). The £3.2 billion cap, which tried to buy 888 earlier this year, is set to lose market share following the announced mergers of Ladbrokes (LAD) with Gala Coral and Paddy Power (PAP) with Betfair (BET).

Shares says: "Buy 888 at 179.5p as acquisitions and bid speculation add to an already attractive investment case. It has a strong forward dividend yield of 5.6% and is expanding in new markets which should drive long-term growth."
