Gvc Share Discussion Threads

I know the saying is the market does not like uncertainty so I am not
correcting anyone, but what a stupid saying, the market is uncertain
every minute, we are trying to predict the future and put the money
where it will appreciate, what can be more unpredictable than that.

Maybe the fund managers in the know by being told by their friends
what is going to happen might find it difficult but I do not.

Buy gold, oil and gambling related stocks, with a little sprinkling of security
should do okay in UNCERTAIN times.

Interesting theory mylands - cant disagree with the general drift of it - markets dont like uncertainty but luckily in the medium term GVC as a worldwide company should be a good bet as any reliance on a failing UK economy should be relatively small.

Of course, all of that could be rubbish!

My theory as to why we are seeing a dip in the share price is simple. This share has risen consistently against a backdrop of real economic uncertainty brought about by the Brexit vote.

As I have said before, the UK economy is in a period akin to the phony war after WWII was declared. We are now seeing, with the chronic fall in the value of sterling which interestingly demotes us from being the 5th largest economy in the world to the 6th, the reality of the affect the Brexit decision is going to have for us all. The world has seen this coming, with virtually every country apart from Russia finding it incomprehensible that the British people could have made such a potentially damaging economic decision, without having any clear idea what the way forward would be. As one by one of the EU countries voices its determination not to 'give in' to the UK in the negotiations, the future is for heightened uncertainty. This combined with the Governments determination 'not to reveal it's negotiating hand', is making it even worse.

So, what better way for investors to protect themselves than by banking the large profits from GVC's success.

Not sure, but the 1 year and 3 year trendline are wrecked below 750p that's for sure.

[panic investor] 12/10/2016 13:40

Why the rough ride here today ? Perhaps just noise

[festario] 12/10/2016 13:30

Time to use what little I have to buy a few more, as we are south of the trendline.

[panic investor] 12/10/2016 13:18

Gkp - the lap dancing CEO !

[nurdin] 12/10/2016 13:09

I have lost you.What has this got to do with GVC?

[diviincomesearch] 12/10/2016 12:54

I think one of the main reasons for the decrease in posters in other areas is the Oil and Commodity situation.

Prices are so low that the junior and micro oilies and (occasionally miners)just aren't speculatively drilling any more. Very little stuff to get excited about and create a 'pump and dump' situation.

I always feel as Festario states, the pre-revenue commodity companies are just a casino, with the dice firmly loaded against the favour of the PI by those in the know. Unless you can find a clueless person to buy your shares, the losses can be enormous, if you are late to the party. Look at GKP, IGAS etc.

Interesting read

Rebounding.

I can't help thinking that if GVC do not go for 888 which would be a very good fit grey market wise (but 888 have no fat to shed really) then they really need to look at Amaya.

That would be a massive mouthful and again would be a reverse TO but there is a lot GVC could do to turn it around and the cost savings would be truely massive.

It has to be the move. Too risky? Maybe - some good comments elsewhere on the problems with poker (pokerbots etc) but it really is the strongest brand out there alongside fulltilt.

GVC could also do a much better cross selling job on the casino and sports stuff.

Bit of a hammering - I wonder what news has broken to damage the sector. Payments sector (SCH - my current big buy and PAYS largely unaffected).

[festario] 12/10/2016 09:37

Gaming sector as a whole getting hammered today, very low volume though.

[trentendboy] 12/10/2016 08:39

There is certainly little small investor hype about. ADVFN bulletin boards are dying if anything. Seem to be fewer posts and less interest.FTSE 250 very different to the 100

[velod] 11/10/2016 22:46

PS. The "lift bellboy" references appertained to the 1929 crash. .

- Caught your post on stop losses C/coops.

[velod] 11/10/2016 22:14

I think your post crazycops is enough to lift the curse :) :) :) as you clearly can see the subtext I was alluding to. .

The great traders/investors of yesteryear Graham/Livimore etc., tell of bellboys in hotel lifts/and or taxi drivers enthusiastically singing the praises and recommending shares to buy and these traders then exiting the lift and immediately instructing their broker to sell everything, because they realised there was no one else left to buy equities. . . Paul Scott's blog in the last few days said he was concerned about a market top but as he hadn't heard drinkers in pubs talking about shares he felt we were still good to go.

In high rising shares that I've held that have gone on to crash with CEO's kicked out (one still being investigated by the fraud squad) they were always preceded before they crashed by posters declaring their undying love for this never-ending rising share. One even wrote a love poem declaring his love for a share and was commended by other posters who agreed with him. That's the share where the now disgraced CEO of the once high flying share (but now crashed) is being investigated by the fraud police.

Does the other "I too love this share" post by another poster count as a curse? :) As it was a forced post in your defence and not unsolicited. . :)

. . Will try and seek out your stockopedia post, if time.

[crazycoops] 11/10/2016 18:52

Velo, that was me with the "love" comment and it was in jest following another positive GVC press release. I am not emotionally attached to any investment beyond trying to run my winners and cut my losers. If GVC news/results are bad I will reduce or sell completely, no problem.I wrote a long comment on a Stockopedia article yesterday that goes some way to explain my objectivity (the comment is number 15/19) http://www.stockopedia.com/content/using-stop-losses-with-momentum-153446/?comment=15#15

Good luck, I will keep an eye on SPD, just for fun, not for investment potential.

Pound down again. My twin forecast for the y/e of $1.20/£ and 1.10Euro/£ looks way out.

Can you imagine what will happen to Sterling when the Brexit negotiations get difficult, which IMO they surely will. I can just hear the Brexiteers saying, but we will get trade deals with Australia and New Zealand!

[festario] 11/10/2016 15:37

I've done that millions of times Mylands, but at least SPD is a cash generating company, I only look at those now.I find that shares in 'pre-revenue' companies are cheap, but the vast majority of them never go anywhere.It's been a painful and expensive learning curve

[mylands] 11/10/2016 15:16

Festario

Brave man, but don't forget the old adage about 'trying to catch a falling knife'!

[panic investor] 11/10/2016 14:43

yes spotted that - thx

[festario] 11/10/2016 14:28

.....oh, and just to end this 'off topic', SPD are doing large daily share BUY backs, therefore making my shares more valuable by default.

[festario] 11/10/2016 14:26

Panic, I think they have 'kitchen sinked' it, in other words, sent out a profit warning due to currency hedging gone wrong, and a further warning if £ continues to fall. Don't forget though, all other high street retailers are in the same trouble currency wise, as they all import their goods.SPD have put the fat bloke back in charge, which the market didn't like.... no one likes Ashley, but all this bad news is now in the price. SPD's forward multiple is ludicrously low compared to its peers, and the company still makes nearly £300m profit despite itself.

[panic investor] 11/10/2016 14:15

Was looking at that too but you never know what's coming next at the moment

[festario] 11/10/2016 14:13

It wasn't me, who said that 'in love' comment, but I am in love with this share! How could I not be? It's financed my life for the past 6 years and obliterated all other losses on other share forays.In other news, I bought some SPD earlier, at 282p, it's chronically oversold I feel, and am looking for a 20 to 30% rise to bring back to get more GVC shares.
