Government Petition to Ban shorting of London AIM stocks.

The AIM stock market is where smaller companies list their shares rather than using the prohibitively expensive main London Stock Market. This is an important market for the growth of smaller UK companies.

In challenging times, shorters seek to borrow the company's shares from a holder for a consideration and to buy them at a later date. They immediately sell these shares which, due to the relative illiquid market, sends the price much lower and hence the shorters can buy them at that lower price - pocketing the difference. The only beneficiaries are the shorters and the market makers with the losers being the reputable company and it's bona fide investors.

When it was founded is irrelevant, we don't know it's growth curve, funding position from the outset. It's a value accretive deal nothing more, another for the expanding service offerings.It'll take something with real visible revenue benefits to push up beyond 1200 imo dyor ofc.

"GetSocial is currently in a development phase, having invested ahead of building revenues, but it is expected to become profitable during 2020."
"GetSocial was founded in 2012."

No financials in the RNS, not even price paid.
Shareholders better hope they didnt overpay for a company that isnt profitable even after 7 years...

Another acquisition although this time Not profit making currently..

scooper, fwiw, my chart showed a potential turn for 14-15/2/2019, and this has confirmed as high turn, so you probably have done the right thing for now. No advice intended.

Next potential turn is early next week, 18-19/2/2019. It could be a low turn, although sometimes they can just indicate a change in the angle of the existing trend. For this reason I always use these turns in conjunction with historical support/resistance, simple chart patterns and some other indicators.

In this case I would also be looking for a price iro 980-1000 which coincides with historical support.

It is interesting, from a TA perspective that the 916 gap is now filled.

From a chart pattern pov, longs really need to see a positive and confirmed reversal pattern develop, with price finding its way above the 50sma. There are a number of INVH&S patterns. The lowest requires an eod close above approx. 1075 to confirm.

Decided to sell my more short term trade and keep for a small profit so at least my longer term SIPP holding is not theoretically in the red anymore. But will start buying small chunks in my ISA if it starts to drift back down under 1000p. I guess I will find out soon if I have made a good decision.

Interesting comments from a new Liberum note on another gaming sector company which chime with KWS' recent statements about the potential of streaming:

"Streaming could provide new monetisation possibilities

There have been a number of public comments from the major platform providers (Sony, Microsoft etc.) and possible new entrants to the gaming sector about the potential to launch new delivery and monetisation models, which could accelerate growth for the whole computer gaming sector....Google is already testing a streaming service (Google Project Stream), which is expected to be launched later this year and there has been speculation in the last few days that TMT giants such as Amazon and Verizon could also be preparing to announce new platforms.

We would expect to see these initiatives reflected in the income statements of the UK players in the form of potential development income, license revenue (there could be deals for periods of exclusivity) and possibly partnerships for the major IP developers.

Platform economics in IP developers' favour

This also comes as the Steam PC store has announced cuts in its revenue share agreements with its largest IP partners (this currently kicks-in for games generating more than $10m of annual sales....) and Epic Games has recently challenged Steam's dominance backed by a 12% revenue share model. All these factors point to potential revenue and margin upside for the whole sector over the next 24 months....

China approvals resumed, risks around future franchises reduced

The Chinese central government froze video game approvals from March 2018 onwards. The number of games approved since March 2018 has fallen to just 353, against 716 games approved in January 2018 alone. Approvals have resumed in December and, since then, a total of 75 games have been approved, although big names such as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite are yet to be granted commercial licenses......A friendlier attitude towards the video game industry by the Chinese government would clearly be helpful."

ATVI laying off 8% of their workforce. Tough times in the videogaming space.

Not sure of how you calculated your predictions end of last week, genuinely interested to hear them if you want to explain what you thought would happen on Monday. And so as it bounced on Monday a little do you think there is still a drop to come? Wondering myself about those who averaged down last week if they will start to cut their holdings a little as we get back above 1000p and that could see the whole process start again with another little drop below 900p.

[jamesjjj] 08/2/2019 19:44

Sold out of KWS when it was 1100 not bought back in since. I fear this will drop again on Monday circa 5-10% but will bounce back up from there.

ali, try googling the terms I have used. Start your search with something like 'Financial charting'.

The top end of the historical support zone from summer 2017 is approx 874-879
Lower end is approx 732

916 gap is filled.

Breakaway gap 3/2/2017 at 550-553

[scooper72] 08/2/2019 14:23

I've averaged down.

[1670127] 08/2/2019 14:20

Or it could continue downwards!

[bulltradept] 08/2/2019 13:13

Really? Been in and out of this numerous times today so far. Edit: There could be a bounce though I suppose.

[1670127] 08/2/2019 13:07

Below 9 pounds will probably bounce last hour of trading as day traders close positions

[bulltradept] 08/2/2019 13:04

Let's hope too many people don't put their faith in IC tips. There's a thought going around that when the IC says buy you do the opposite.
