Maybe he needs the money for a new house or pay off gambling debts, but the share price didn't drop on the news

I like this company a lot but I don't like the fact the CFO has sold every single share he had. It may or it may not mean anything - time will tell - but still don't like it. Good weekend all.

Going up on a down day - good omen.

Pennsylvania votes in the next few hours

Bid exceeding 180p - very very bullish

[tongosti] 08/12/2015 16:16

Excellent relative strength continuing. In addition, historical range expanding which I take it as powerful signal of a potential chart breakout. Hold on to your knickers ladies - it's gonna be a helluva ride!

broker upgrades today, the drop seems to be general market malaise

[tongosti] 08/12/2015 08:28

Blue start of the day amidst a sea of red. 200p may be within reach at some point over the next quarter.

peaeffyou answered your own question in the final sentence of your postmy average is a agonizing 62p. If we see 180s again i may decide to go

[peaeff] 07/12/2015 13:37

Thanks all for opinions. I shall wait for end of play before making a decision.

Peaeff, I am also in a similar position showing a handsome profit on an average of £1-60 and having been here for 3 years , I would be devastated to miss out on a take over. My gut feeling is that 888 has moved to the next level and when Pennsylvania regulates (very soon) it will move up to the £2 range and make a £2-50 takeover very realistic. I am going to stay on the rollercoaster and hope by the summer I am sat on a very fat profit rather than a nice profit .

Cutting flowers and watering weeds? Don't think this is a good idea but eh that's what makes a market. 888 is dirt cheap I feel (as I have previously described on this board) and the force of momentum is propelling us forward. So long as the price action is positive one may regret jumping off the ship now. Each to his/her own but I reckon we may be at the proverbial sweet spot with 888. GLA

fear and greed at work!!!

Sell half maybe and hold for the hills return.....

[jamesjoel] 07/12/2015 11:48

I would hold until results

[peaeff] 07/12/2015 11:01

Not very often I am undecided as to what action to take but I must admit that 888 has me very much in two minds. With today's news and subsequent rise I am sitting on a very reasonable profit, having accumulated throughout the ups and downs of the past 30 months in a range between 150-173p.

I now ask myself will this exceed or even hold at around the 180p level or will it retract to the 160p level where it has been for some time. If this is the case, and I slightly favour it may well do, sell today and buy back in at the lower level, bank profit.

However the big problem here is, and has been the case for some time, the posibility of a further bid being generated on the strength of today's news. Could it come sooner or will it be later?. I would hate to miss out having held for all this time but I am not greedy by nature and would be very satisfied with profits today.

Would welcome opinions.

regards PF

Added further on the back of very strong relative strength

[jamesjoel] 07/12/2015 09:25

Nice good company only a matter of time before we get taken out

[tongosti] 07/12/2015 09:20

Charging ahead - chart breakout seems to be around the corner. Added earlier - hopefully all will fall in place nicely. GLA

Looks like TO stuff is coming back.

The "player strike" at pokerstars will be helping 888 but it depends how they deal with this over at Stars

As I have discussed here before the fundamentals look great. It would be fantastic if technicals trade in sync with fundamentals. As long as the story is validated by the price action I remain firmly bullish on 888. Good weekend all.
