like many of the larger Aim stocks, this appears very expensive because of the IHT breaks with a limited pool of reliable liquid stocks for the IHT fund managers to fish in? Have to hope IHT is reformed in the budget- Britain's most hated tax etc....

It’s a cash machine It’s in a huge growth market- internet fraud is a huge and growing problem, identity verification for ‘vendors’; is essential, and identifying customers and potential customers location is a growth industry. It’s acquisition policy is second to none It’s very well managed How many companies do you know that has a ZERO level of shorts? This has. The lofty PE is deserved because of its growth Watch last years capital markets day presentation and make your own mind up and also ponder why one of the greatest technology ( imho and DYOR) investors of recent years has GBG as her biggest holding in the lauded Herald Investment Trust, if Katie Potts likes it that much...then so do I :-) S

We are all here because there is growth year after year which increases the share price.

Guys - I have been looking at GBG this morning with a view to taking an initial position. I can see a number of serious PIs who are hot on this share. But I can't see what the excitement is about - unless I am missing something obvious. - forecast sales +37% ; yes fantastic - forecast eps growth negative -3.4% - forecast PE, a whopping 40 - price/sales ratio 7.7 all data from Sharepad. So, what am I missing?

Well she could do anything

[hyper ai] 17/2/2020 13:04

she might sell some more

As I expected, Katie Potts Herald Investment Trust took some profits inJanuary and reduced its holding by 0.4% , however GB Group is still by far her biggest holding I wouldn’t be surprised to see her add that back before the trading statement S

Nigel The ‘update’ or ‘trading statement’ post end of trading year, has in the previous 3 years been 17th of April , I see no reason why THIS year it will come any sooner. Easter this year is 10-13th and 17 th is a Friday, so my guess is it will be a few days later, perhaps 21st or 22nd, I very much doubt they will go before Easter. S

[nigeldoug1] 14/2/2020 18:30

Not sure of your point....17 days!

[sweenoid] 14/2/2020 15:55

Agreed, but you should know when the next trading statement comes then ;-) It’s been the same date for the last 3 years It’s not in March S

[nigeldoug1] 14/2/2020 11:56

Will get taken over by a US Corporation long before 520. The only thing that would give rise to a price like that is a poor trading update at the end of March......They haven't had a poor trading update since have been in.

[hyper ai] 13/2/2020 16:49

dont worry, 520 shouldnt be long

[lomax99] 13/2/2020 08:12

Biding my time for a top up...

[sweenoid] 13/2/2020 08:05

Spoke too soon? Latest press release from company makes a good read hTtps://www.gbgplc.com/newsroom/gbg-layered-anti-fraud-platform/ S

Amazing share price performance 👏 I see the IFX Expo ‘event’ 18-20th Feb in Macao has been cancelled, totally appropriate, Coronavirus is unlikely to stop e- commerce, banking, betting, indeed online activities could actually increase. I guess GBG are as fully ‘inoculated217; against Coronavirus as is possible? S

Hypocrite Al is over on Hurricane spouting about being an eco warrior, Hey Al now you know how I got the gas guzzlers been here since 25pence ...... sween I sold a few all the way up. Still got a few.....

Hyper AI is an oaf whose one-liners , usually predicting doom and gloom are inevitably way off the mark Like most trolls he has no problem in embarrassing himself time and time again. I suggest a filter as I have just done. The share price is holding up miraculously well. My own position is unchanged , I am a significant holder who sensibly ( it was sensible folks) took profits on half my holding at £8, I want to use the profits generated to reinvest, so I am closely watching, before pressing the BUY button again, I would like that to be sub £7 but I may not get that chance, we shall see. As for £5.20 , it just simply ain’t happening :-) S

[hotfinance14] 30/1/2020 16:34

520..I very much doubt it.

[hyper ai] 30/1/2020 12:20

watching brief for 520 - if you very lucky, may be able to load up at 270 where p/e will be about 30 instead of 74. great medium term investment from there.

[stig2] 25/1/2020 21:01

Sweenoid Fair comment you may well be right. All the long termers here know that GBG doesn't alway react as it should so personally I have not had the guts to trade in and out though hind sight (wonderful thing) tells me that maybe I should have, plus my CGT situation didn't help. MM get my vote for many of the drops, when they have no orders in they play silly beggars with the price every so often, which makes it a scary share for newbies. Still I have an average similar to hotfinance so i'm not complaining and we all seem to be in agreement as to GBG management and prospects.

[hotfinance14] 24/1/2020 09:07

My averaage holding is around 60p.I won't be selling until these are £10 plus.

[sweenoid] 23/1/2020 17:14

Stig 2 I never ‘left’ I merely sold 50% of my holding acquired at an average sub £6, I took the profits and am running the residual 50%, I see this as an £9 stock the end of this year. As I posted I think the recent £8 level was ‘toppy’ for the moment, my intention is to buy back the shares at a lower level, the question is will it go sub £7 and stay there? The share price performance at the moment is incredibly strong. It’s not going to £5, my guesstimate is £6.50 at the worse, before rising for its next bull run? The trading statement is due about mid April which I expect to be bullish, I guess the main news’s driver in between could be news of another acquisition or a major new big- time contract win. I will be interested to see if Katie Potts sold any early this month, should know when Herald do their monthly bulletin- will post here when I know. I think buying at the current share price will be a good investment medium- long term but since I own a ‘lot’ already, I can adopt a relaxed watching brief for the moment S

head and shoulders being created here - £5.20 coming soon.
