MM's trying to scare up some shares (as usual) before the results firm up the price.

[hotfinance14] 16/11/2015 09:14

Results on 1st Dec guys.

think the share price will hover here in the absence of a positive acquisition or a juicy consultancy contract with a well-known brand. Most of us on this thread have had a great ride so far and as I said in previous thread they would have to take one hell of a hit to dampen the mood - even with the share price hike GBG are still work in progress and seem to have little profile. Which makes me think there is plenty of potential for further surges - IMHO

Thanks sian. Was over valued then, hence drop from peak? Good co' but bulled up imho.

[sian] 09/11/2015 20:32

P/E 30.31.....

[wolansm] 09/11/2015 09:51

Small volume, big mark down around 2% could mean someone wants stock, so on that theme will look to release funds and take some more in prep for next year isa

[lufc5] 08/11/2015 23:57

P/E ratio please?

[hotfinance14] 03/11/2015 14:36

SP going North again.

[stig2] 01/11/2015 19:13

Looks to me now as thought he normal GBG pattern is reasserting itself and there is not a new buyer pushing up the price, which is good as far as i am concerned.

[wolansm] 01/11/2015 08:46

Wonder what the week will bring

[broadwood] 29/10/2015 18:36

Quite agree.

[stig2] 29/10/2015 18:32

You could be right DingleRob (good spot on the finnCap rating by the way) but I have never known a share to so willingly follow a research prediction of value so readily and accurately. Still if that is the reason "great" as I would still like to see GBG staying independent and not getting swallowed up just yet.

[dinglerob] 29/10/2015 15:34

I would have thought it was the finnCap rating at 290 earlier in the week. Explanation was given in a short video

[hotfinance14] 29/10/2015 13:02

Whatever it is it must be big.

[stig2] 29/10/2015 11:26

re-rating usually comes after something different than usual business of the day such as a game changing contract. I am beginning to think fourgirls is right and there is something afoot which we as lowly PIs are not yet privy to.

[hotfinance14] 29/10/2015 10:03

It could just be a re-rating.

[herewegouk] 29/10/2015 09:52

My best share by far, I am not complaining but why has it shot up so much over the past week ?

[hotfinance14] 29/10/2015 09:43

It has..290p now..woosh.
