Seems like we have a yoyo effect at the moment.

Good Telegraph article highlighting the online gaming sector. Should get s few more punters interested in backing the winners, or should I say winner, GVC!

You can scoff.

"As I have rattled on for ages, gambling, gold miners
and security are the places to be over the next five years.

Others are close, high end retailers, oil services and
television content to mention a few...."

so, are there any others srpactive ;-) ?

Reminds me of the Mark Twain quote (I paraphrase):
"October: this is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks. The others are July, September, January .... "to mention a few""

Have a good one!

Big article in the telegraph talking about
who will be the next gambling company to
consolidate. We will be on every radar, this
is the start of a good period for gambling stocks.

As I have rattled on for ages, gambling, gold miners
and security are the places to be over the next five years.

Others are close, high end retailers, oil services and
television content to mention a few.

If that's what 'tea and a bun' do for you, please refrain from ingesting anything stronger!

[velod] 08/9/2016 22:37

Sorry, that should have been a quick, short post, not article length. What am I on? Something very toxic - a cup of tea and a bun at the moment.

[woodhawk] 08/9/2016 22:31

I'm busy recalibrating as I write, velod! Thanks for the lesson in percentages... and can I have some of whatever you're on, please?

Patience is a virtue in the current situation of a rising share price.

[velod] 08/9/2016 22:14

Wood hawk @ ( “..I'm sceptical that we could reach 750 or even 780p, as claimed by some… ).
.
Eh? 780p???
.
- Well I’m with you there; I don’t expect to see 780p by the end of this month either.
That’s waaay too much. Much more sensible is the expectation I posted below (or up above if you’re on a desktop compu : )
- And that was:
“770p’s/774p) - See? Miles away from your misread 780p : ) . . . : ) . . . : )

. InvestmentGuru pondered if it might reach the 750 mark by the end of the month, as did I (740p that is) - not by Results day, as you mentioned, but by the end of the month.

- You gotta give us a fair chance now : ) : )

Joking aside, your mention of:
- “ I’m sceptical that we could reach …xxxp… as claimed by some ” is pertinent and leads me to air a point about RECALIBRATION of “normal” expectations.

What today in early September is now the new normal?

- Well long time holders on this forum have recalled the share price once being 100p some 8 years or so ago. Back then a 10p rise would equate to a 10% rise in the share price. But look at today. The share price rose 7.5p today (which I thought was a lot) but with the share price already £7+ that equates to only a 1%+ rise in the SP!

. That’s nothing to the market - a 1% rise. Nothing remarkable at all
- but I bet like me, you at first thought Ooh that’s a good rise today - when looking at the share price and not the % rise..

Do you see the point I’m making?

- Today I thought Oooh ahh here we go that’s a good rise (12.5p at one point) but look at the % next to the share price above - A measly 1% brings it in to perspective…. And yet the share price sits tonight at an impressive 721.5p!

So now the share price is £7+ plus we all have to recalibrate to that of the rest of the market in general, in that it will take a 70p+ rise in the share price to even equate to a 10% rise.

The reason it‘s difficult to keep a grasp on “normal“ is that only a few months ago, earlier this year, almost as if yesterday, the share price was £4-odd. So a 40p+ odd rise would get a 10% rise in the share price But not as of today. Right now it’ll take a 70p rise to get that same effect. The market has recalibrated - but have we?

The more the merrier!

[crazycoops] 08/9/2016 19:06

Pure trackers might have only recently started buying but active funds that benchmark against the 250 (or just active funds with an eye for value) might have started buying earlier.

[woodhawk] 08/9/2016 18:29

I thought the trackers had probably started buying a few weeks ago, but if they've only begun since the confirmation of inclusion in the 250, then things could get even more interesting!! Onwards and upwards....

I'm sceptical that we could reach 750 or even 780p, as claimed by some, by the September statement, but would be delighted to be proved wrong.

[crazycoops] 08/9/2016 17:23

Yes, they are allowed to do that - I believe typically they begin buying once inclusion in the index is confirmed.

[mylands] 08/9/2016 16:46

Great day again!

Some big trades going through near the end of the day. Could they be 250 tracker funds buying ahead of the inclusion to the index, or aren't they allowed to do that?

[loganair] 08/9/2016 15:24

I wish all my shares were as boring as GVC then.

[malachey] 08/9/2016 12:17

God this share is boring - all it ever does is go up. Day after day it's the same old thing. Yawn.

[garycook] 08/9/2016 04:37

Now that would be nice !!!

[srpactive] 07/9/2016 21:22

A special could be on the cards.

not really silver bullets, more like gold confetti

[festario] 07/9/2016 13:03

Ha ha... in which case I could buy even more!

[trentendboy] 07/9/2016 12:45

Better to wait for a later but higher divi reinstatementNo point in incurring unnecessary costs just to reinstate earlyNo hurry

[investmentguru] 07/9/2016 10:29

@VeloD - I would be very happy for you to win this bet!

[mylands] 07/9/2016 10:23

CM

You are right of course that Cerberus would not want to give up interest they are entitled to, but Kenny as we have seen, is the ultimate deal maker and it may be that he can persuade Cerberus to concede on interest for a greater gain down the road, for surely we are on the path to a significantly bigger company than we are at the present, especially with the consolidation going on in the online gaming business. Now wouldn't Cerberus want to be part of that?
