Nice diplet but even nicer recovery ;o)

moi just sold another 40k at 31.125.
Debs always likes to leave a bit for others. Could see mid 30's yet or retest 23p . I'm happy either-way.

What is quite good about the JPR group is that in all its LOCAL PAPER websites there now are links (on the RIGHT of the page (near bottom)) to interesting stories in the "i" newspaper, thus increasing the traffic to the "i".

Here is the DORIS storm for example, reported in the Scotsman (they made sure, rightly or wrongly to have the biggest snow icon right over Edinburgh - cynical or what - but money making:



I have to say, a lot of big buys going in yesterday right up to the high 20s in the 50,000 range a time - so lots of £12,500 trades going on. Its like a massive bull run of small investors - OR someone accumulating in small bundles. Its like looking at tea leaves. Either way, people buying at 28p in 50,000 bundles must be thinking of at least mid thirties.

Don't get me wrong, I fully expect to see JPR go to 40p within months. But I also know that when a share price rises 50% in a couple of days it tends to retrace in absence of game-changing news. It's a gamble - takeover RNS could come tomorrow - but on balance I don't think it will. Reckon we'll get another CA holdings update as I said, but that won't move the price as it's already priced in.

Still hold half my holding here. I'm just hedging my bets/spreading my eggs

Brando66, well played👍

Correct way to bank it too, probably knowing JPR for last 10-15years probably back to 10p soon anyway lol

Just not share price but something fundamentally has to change with the debt, if they sort the debt and start paying div any day in future - I will buy JPR at whatever high price it is then - as they still generate cash - until then not buying here!

One thing last couple of years have taught me is that it doesn't pay to be too attached to a share. I am not a day trader, but I will move things around short term if I see a likely benefit.

[brando69] 22/2/2017 17:31

may well five bag - but it won't do so tomorrow.

I took a view that IRR was rising very quickly. I started buying at 20, finished buying at 21.25. Finished at 22.5 on the bid. Happy with that.

[brando69] 22/2/2017 17:30

why not?

Sold £11K's worth at 28.15
That £11K is now worth £12.5K

Unless this gaps up in the morning, I should be able to take a view and increase my JPR holding at no extra cost.

[luckymouse] 22/2/2017 17:25

It wont be inspired if this 5 bags from the break

[miahkaysor] 22/2/2017 16:09

Into IRR guys!!!!!!!!Breakout!!!!!!!

[brando69] 22/2/2017 16:04

If I say it myself that was an inspired trade

[brando69] 22/2/2017 15:57

I've bitten bullet and sold a few, bought some IRR with the proceeds. Pleased with that.

[brando69] 22/2/2017 15:44

30p coming today?

[brando69] 22/2/2017 15:42

MMs keep nudging the bid up. 28.15 now

[brando69] 22/2/2017 15:40

lack of a holding RNS is cheeky verging on irregular

[netcurtains] 22/2/2017 15:30

The "i" would go along side the DAILY MIRROR really really well...

(They would need to sell Scotsman, or change its right wing slant)...

[netcurtains] 22/2/2017 15:29

I guess the closing price is the key!

[brando69] 22/2/2017 15:26

heading for 2m shares today, third day on trot of big volumes.

[brando69] 22/2/2017 15:25

Feels to me like a bid is in the air

[luckymouse] 22/2/2017 15:19

Could 5 bag

[brando69] 22/2/2017 15:12

feels like a stock squeeze. CA going to struggle to get any more volume. This could be the point they need to strike a deal with one of the other big holders.

[netcurtains] 22/2/2017 15:05

the i costs 50p, I think

[fozzie] 22/2/2017 14:50

Wow great stuff here, get up there. Nice work if you can get it this Brando.
