chart looks dire through support now

[capntubs] 23/8/2007 10:12

Ken, that double top is a bit of a shocker I'm afraid. If you follow the thinking that the charts don't lie then it suggests you are right and something bad might well be leaking out. Most concerning is the complete lack of bounce over the last few days when almost every other share seems to be making up some lost ground

[kenbachelor] 22/8/2007 12:10

This share could do no wrong for the last 12 months or so, but this month one would almost think there had been a leak of bad news. The interims are due on 25th September, so we will need to wait another month to find out.

£1.70 unless it issues a profit warning (which looks quite likely)

[farnesbarnes] 21/8/2007 08:28

next stop 220p?

Sold out this week after being a holder for six years and four months.

It's still a great little company (not so little now), but when I reviewed my portfolio for shares to weed out during the market wobble, this one came out as the one most fully valued.

It's been an interesting ride. Bought at 74p on 6 April 2001. Within seven months they were down more than 75% at just 18p. Sold on 6 August 2007 for 263p.

Good luck to those still in.

I agree with scburbs looks substantially overvalued on fundamentals. When topping formation is confirmed I will short the pants off this could halve from here

[farnesbarnes] 02/8/2007 07:30

I cant see much gain from here, we are in a trading range by the looks of it. There is strong support at 245ish, and resistance at 270ish.

[scburbs] 01/8/2007 10:51

FB,

Investec in a note of 2 October 2006 estimated that US gambling accounted for around 30% of group sales and 40-45% of profits.

DATA have now withdrawn from the market so my reading is that all of these revenues and profits are down the pan.

"As announced in October 2006 and in our trading update in January 2007, the Group was adversely impacted by the Safe Ports Act in the United States, which forced us to withdraw from processing US originated gaming related payments towards the end of last year."



Growth is set to be hit by this and there are a lot more shares in issue due to the acquisition of Proc Cyber.

Directors have sold shares by the bucket load.

Despite this the shares trade near to an all time high (exc. tech boom spikes). Looks like a good short to me, but that doesn't mean it can't go on to be even more overvalued than it is currently. I just wouldn't want to be long when the actual impact of the lost business starts to be seen in the eps number. This will be seen partially in H1 (due to the additional shares in issue to buy a business that has lost a lot of its turnover/profits), but mainly in H2 as there was only 1 month of Proc Cyber in last years H1.

I'd agree that the uptrend has reversed.

This does not mean that a downtrend will ensue. It just means that the uptrend has finished.

Re: 30 to 40% of the business going down the pan. My mate knows the owners of poker.com - according to them the Port Authority bill has had limited impact thusfar. And judging by the amount of US players still playing, I'd have to agree.

Anyway David Bailey / Datacash released a statement that said their business model was not so reliant on the US. Any business that relies on 30% of it's revenue from one source is asking for trouble.

[scburbs] 01/8/2007 08:54

Taken advantage of the current strength to increase my short position. With 30-40% of the business having gone down the pan in the US and the share price at or around all time highs it is an accident waiting to happen.

[farnesbarnes] 01/8/2007 08:38

Volume is the steam that makes the choo choo go.

[kenbachelor] 01/8/2007 07:34

FB - If you look at the huge losses on some shares over the last week, DATA is doing very well!

[farnesbarnes] 01/8/2007 07:29

The share price is looking like it may be struggling a little now. A decent push thru 270 with decent volume is needed.
