FDEV sales going well - I believe we do work for them ? More franchises about to be announced too by the looks of the RNS this morning

Hoping 1800 breaks for good today, been a barrier for weeks now as we keep yo-yo'ing in the trading range.

Thanks Rivaldo!

A tad disappointed with the start this morning however hopefully we have a push later this afternoon.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I've been largely out of touch the last few days:



"FE Alpha Manager Lawson: My three UK stocks for an ever-changing world
27 June 2018

SVM Asset Management’s Margaret Lawson highlights three companies that are using disruptive technology to get ahead in the current market environment."

"Keywords Studios

Also playing the outsourcing theme is gaming services provider Keywords Studios – another stock which has jumped in value over the past few years.

Lawson said: “Before you wouldn’t invest in a gaming company because they might have one game that was a success but you wouldn’t know the value of the franchise.

“What you are finding now is that all of this is going to subscription and there are two things. First is you are getting more stability because once people buy into subscription they have tournaments and compete with other people and can buy products and different tiers.”

The second is that these large companies are beginning to outsource the development to specialists who can conduct the work for cheaper than taking it in-house.

This “structural growth trend” leaves Keywords, a company specialising in translation and art & design services, well-positioned.

“The big gaming companies are going to outsource their businesses and IP [intellectual property] to capable hands and a company like that is Keywords Studios,” Lawson said.

“That’s another one that is taking advantage of changes in the market and is growing through acquisition and organic growth.”

James, I agree and point taken. Like I said I ain’t no chartist and don’t invest based on it but I do like to know a few tech things to be informed to make use if dips etc.
Thank you for the reasoning too! Looking forward to some blue days and a break of £20.

Tonyt, notwithstanding what you have said my personal experience is that I would not over worry if a stock looks overbought on RSI.Often A stock that looks overbought will normally also be showing high relative strenght an indicator that I find much more relevant to whether a stock has got the energy to go higher. An overbought stock in an upward trending pattern is normally a sign of strength especially if it is also showing high relative strenght.

Scooper, I don’t think you need to avail the subscription unless you want to become a day trader. The British bulls site gives daily calls and they’re not necessarily right 100% but they do get a large number of signals right. As mentioned earlier, techs are just one aspect and I’m no chartist - hence can’t argue the merits/demerits of it. However I look at these 2 sites to give me an indication that I can factor in my trades - to know when to top up or slice etc. I still maintain my investments on my price targets based on fundamentals and research.

At the moment, it does look good for a clear run to 1920. It then depends on the RSI when 1920 is hit. If RSI is not overbought and is balanced when 1920 is hit, there will be a clear path to go higher. On the other hand, a couple of string days can take this past that 1920 in a jiffy and could do the trick too.

Eventually £2 will have to give in and after 10 months of oscillation between the 1650 and 1950 range, I think we’re closer to the breakout.

Interesting couple of weeks, and some acquisition news wouldn’t go amiss and can act as the perfect timing catalyst!

Thanks again tony10. Noticed to read their whole piece I need to register and pay a subscription- is it a worthwhile site in your experience?

[tonyt10] 30/6/2018 17:06

Scooper no worries, hopefully this works.

[scooper72] 30/6/2018 09:36

Thnx tony10. I could get the first link useful site. But couldn't see the 2nd link. Probably how the board configured on my phone. Could u re post it please.

[tonyt10] 30/6/2018 08:24

Hey Sacooper, I'm not much of chartist but what I was alluding to is that on Friday the tech charts turned with now technicals showing a strong buy. It has been oversold and there seems to be a clear run back to 1920p. See the two links below to give you an idea of the change in technicals


Both sites indicate the change in momentum on Friday and now indicate strong buys. This is just a pure technical perspective.
I'm more of a fundamentals guy. I think KWS is one of those companies that will become stronger and has great potential as their fundamentals is incomparable in the AIM market. Their market leading position means they're able to grow each year both organically and via acquisitions.
As you've rightly pointed out, she seems to hit 1900's and get knocked down and that's mostly down to traders taking their profits once a bearish divergence hits, that way the sells outstrips the buys and we seem to go down again. The same happens around 1600/1700 when it becomes so oversold that there is good buying to take it up again.
In my opinion, what will change that is if the technicals align well and can remain on an uptrend through that 1900-2000p period. Furthermore if there's any positive news at the same time, then that will be a catalyst for further buying pressure and can lift this above the resistance, currently around 1920p. I also feel that having had a few go's before, the techs look strong now and if we have a good couple of 5% days early next week, there's a very good chance this could surge past that resistance. I personally think the resistance will be broken sooner rather than later and I wouldn't be surprised if that happened in the next 3-4 weeks.
It's also always a bullish signal if the weekly highs happen on a Friday - we didn't quite achieve that as we hit 1798 on Friday and think the weekly high was 1804 but the chart looks good IMO!

[scooper72] 29/6/2018 21:27

Do u mean it has bounced of the 1660-1700 mark about four times in the last 10 weeks? I guess the question is whether it will rebound down from around 1900 again which it has got close to over a slightly longer period going back to March.

[scooper72] 29/6/2018 19:37

Tony when u say technicals have turned could u explain what u mean for me please. Aside from that hope your call today on the movement is sustained

[tonyt10] 29/6/2018 14:14

Technicals have now turned and it's a strong buy! I hope this will bring the tech traders in and should see us make a push towards £20.

[tonyt10] 29/6/2018 14:12

Interesting RNS about the change of registered office to London

[pyglet] 29/6/2018 11:26

top quality stock - will be 2000p in near term. Who knows where this will end up but the way gaming has suddenly taken off again (is it fortnite?) I can only seeing this growing into a monster.

[tonyt10] 29/6/2018 09:30

L2 looking good at the moment with that huge 15k share purchase. Obviously things can change as it’s still early in the day but I’m expecting a blue finish to the week so we can continue to bounce back up next week.

[tonyt10] 29/6/2018 08:00

Always good to take profits but imho I’d struggle to see this dropping further, I’m hoping for a another shot at 2000 over the next couple of weeks having retraced to 1640 from 1940 recently. It’ll be interesting to watch the price action but I’m here for the medium term and can see gains in the short term at current levels.

[scooper72] 28/6/2018 16:34

No need to apologise. I think you could be right. That's what I did with most of my TAP few days ago before it started dropping back towards 300p. And v relieved I did. Not that I am putting KWS in the same boat.

[bamboo2] 28/6/2018 16:01

scooper, Sorry about that, I didn't read the earlier posts before I posted!

Will definitely be back, just feel that scalping is the order of the day/week/month.

[scooper72] 28/6/2018 10:02

But looks like u got it right short term

[scooper72] 28/6/2018 10:01

Well that killed the conversation ;)

[bamboo2] 28/6/2018 08:59

Took profit.
