1860p and just keeps making good gains.
It seems to me that GOG buyers are all late risers as we trend sideways till noon and then up we go. Worth remembering when selling.
1900p by end of the week anyone?

[smokybenchod] 08/5/2017 13:58

thanks for the advice fizzypop - really useful. I'm hoping that GOG keeps on improving slowly YoY so I can keep these as a LTH, although I will be monitoring RNS's like you advise to make sure it keeps on track and change my plan if needed :) I think we all need a few slow and steady stocks in the portfolio and im hoping this will be one of mine!

Bowl shaping up nicely.
Not much momentum yet but this is a thinly traded stock with only 43m shares in issue.
Next resistance level appears to be 2000p.

[fizzypop] 07/5/2017 12:05

Hi smoky
There's no black or white answer. My preference is LTH but a black swan event can happen at any time and upset all your carefully considered options.
The best returns require effort - even deciding to do nothing which experience teaches is so often the right course. Patience is often the right option but we all favour something new on the horizon to pep our interest when that purchase may be high risk.

Know your company, trust good management and be aware of their track record. Keep an eye on Twitter for PI impressions. Monitor RNSs and make up your own mind.
Boring companies with few posts on here and LSE can often be a pointer to a long term hold.

Good luck

Thx fizzypop, if/when it gets to £22 and the company is doing well would you consider holding? What metrics do you use for other targets on your list? Personally I'm just getting a bit bored of keep switching - just want to buy and forget about it (barring rubbish company performance of course:))

[fizzypop] 06/5/2017 19:56

Agreed smoky as a LTH. Broker target of £22 would be a gain for me of 30% from 1698p.
Last interim divi increased by 6.5% and comparable increases should continue.
What I call a banking stock for surplus funds (at this point on the chart) until I can deploy elsewhere.

What's everyone's strategy here, long term hold? That's my thoughts - luckily got in 16.99 although think that this could be one to potentially tuck away for a few years with the big divy, good cash flow and relatively high barriers to entry (barring existing competitors). Not to mention the low PE, in fact not many negatives I can think of barring the obvious GTR issues which only accounts so small portion of profit.

[fizzypop] 05/5/2017 19:54

A significant close above 1800p which has been a resistance level.
A nice bowl forming on the chart.

[fizzypop] 20/4/2017 12:03

This has much further to run and a 5.75% yield as reward for patience.

[barnesian] 20/4/2017 09:27

No bad news! Reassuringly business as usual.

"Our full year expectations for both bus and rail divisions are unchanged from the update given at the half year results on 28 February 2017. The Group remains in a strong financial position, with good cash generation and a robust balance sheet."

[fizzypop] 20/4/2017 08:35

Up 6% on Q3 TS.

[fizzypop] 06/4/2017 10:38

Momentum building nicely.

[fizzypop] 06/4/2017 08:18

We have a breakout, up 3% on opening.

[fizzypop] 05/4/2017 14:48

End of the tax year, are MMs trying to force a few more sales. Negligible volumes.

[fizzypop] 05/4/2017 12:21

2nd visit to 1695p and nice W formation being formed.
Reckon all the risk now to the upside and yield now > 5.75% with forecast annual divi likely to at least equal 100p.

[fizzypop] 04/4/2017 17:50

Joined the fan club at £16.98. Been waiting for that dip below £17.

[smokybenchod] 03/4/2017 20:05

any chartists out there care to comment - potential double bottom?

[fizzypop] 28/3/2017 15:31

No bounce yet. Perhaps better to wait till after ex-div 30 March as the fall in share price will take this below 1700p thus triggering stops making this even more of a bargain. But anything could happen in the two days before ex-div date.

[cjones123] 24/3/2017 15:54

GOG share price is bound to bounce over the next 2-3 days, as the ex divi date 30th March is fast approaching. 31p divi to be paid on 21st April :).

[barnesian] 17/3/2017 11:34

So the Group Finance Director has just bought 300 shares at £17.08 following the lead of the CEO. Got a better price too. The CEO paid £17.26.

If everyone went on strike when they were unhappy with managements decisions, the country would go bust.

[barnesian] 15/3/2017 17:56

Hopefully! This is an agreement with ASLEF but not yet with RMT. I think that will follow shortly as the union is keen to get their members to agree to lift strike action. I think there were 54% in favour of strike action at the last ballot against the recommendation of the union IIRC.

[smokybenchod] 15/3/2017 17:39

yeh expecting a strong bounce towards 1800
