Blue Prism Share Discussion Threads

Today just smacks of market manipulation. Looking back I cannot believe one negative article is responsible for the violent share price swing. FT did an article earlier this year saying the stock was overvalued, it didn’t have any effect on the share price

Never invest more than 10% of your portfolio in any given stock. Top slice if it grows to become between 30% and 50% of your portfolio. Then Just let it run and run and run. Hope that makes sense.

I think it worryingly shows the volume of people who have got on thinking this is their next sure-fire winner (last 1-3 months)... The ever increasing share price does that. Throw one bad article in a reputable paper, a morning of sharp decline, and those people panic. The same instincts had probably driven the price to be a bit toppy anyway. What would worry me is if the momentum turns and those people in it for the rise, don't hold short term.

I bought these at between £2 and £3. Sold half at £15 some time ago but am resolute that my remaining holding will not be sold unless the price retracts to £15. I felt sick at a drop of over 12K in my portfolio this am but if your an investor you have to have a plan and stick to it. Historically I have missed out on millions by selling too early. I would rather see my portfolio shrink a bit than miss out on the potential of these very rare stocks. My other top performer so far this year is VRS and the same applies. Just thought I'd post to give a different perspective.

so do you think he did this intentionally? may be was paid for it? anyway I am glad I stayed in, however I feel sad for those who lost money.

[hazl] 13/9/2018 14:07

I'm beginning to wonder if...somebody wanted to get in cheaper?

[fcuky] 13/9/2018 13:40

might thank McCrum later, if Bp goes to £50.

His article somehow created a buying opportunity for me.

cant say the same for the poor sod who sold at £19.

It’s simply unbelievable the carnage a negative article can create!
I am glad I resisted the temptation to sell and buy back as the climb back is also proving to at quite a pace!!

climb blue prism, climb!

show daddy what you can do baby.

hm.........smerch

No matter at which price I bought a stock at, it is never tasty to see it fall 25% in an hour.

I love PRSM that is why I care about this stock.

This FT journalist Dan McCrum looks like he is on the wrong side of 50 year old and still writes on a free to read column. Bet he has NOT short BP and will look like a fool when BP hits £50.

Love KFC by the way, it is fingering and licking good.

[smerch1468] 13/9/2018 12:33

On HL's website, PRSM is traded more than FTSE100 stalwarts BP, Glencore and SSE.

Still more buyers than sellers though.

Sounds like something out of Gotham City.

Oops, maybe I shouldn't mention those words! ;)

Off to do some research.

wouldn't say anything to him really.....

smash his face in, or pour red all over him if in a restaurant..... bit of a waste of red but would be worth it.

[hazl] 13/9/2018 11:50

What a day to be working!
Very interesting turnaround....unsurprising I feel with the recent revelations....but what do I know?

[martywidget] 13/9/2018 11:42

What will you say?

"Thanks for raising pertinent questions"...

{Edit:} Or, "Were you short before you wrote the article?"

[fcuky] 13/9/2018 11:40

if I ever see this guy on the street....or in a restaurant

[volsung] 13/9/2018 11:38

His twitter profile: FT Alphaville. Likes shorts, balance sheets, buttlescutt. DM ideas - says it all

[doesb003] 13/9/2018 11:29

I dont think I should voice my opinion regarding this guy... might violate some etiquettes of decent behavior

[fcuky] 13/9/2018 11:23

from 3200p in 2011 to 40p in 2018.... no wonder it is coded "SOS"

but well done huge upside there

[daijavu] 13/9/2018 11:21

I sold just before the crash but I missed the bottom. In any case I put some of the money straight into SOS and that is doing quite well this morning. Up 4.5% and looking good so perhaps I haven't lost out.

[fcuky] 13/9/2018 11:18

what a morning.....hope everyone is ok (nearly had a heart attack at the sub 2000 level)
