Took additional stake , albeit £2.7k worth. Still not 100% that this is the low but as said volume and size of buys looks like news

Done it with many shares and made huge profits so even if it goes to 0 tomorrow will still be up nearly 500k since Christmas

Wow that's brave -if it's your own cash.
Having done some research here I would be nervous for you.
Long term hold or in and out?

I have more of a problem with rampers pumping micro-caps across the boards in order to dump them and make a quick profit. Personally I dont mind reading about what more respected investors are also invested in. Though I guess you can click on their ID to see this too.
This is my smallest holding of all, but can't be bothered to sell up now.

The poster witj obviously has a problem with me, as I have said
I will not comment on other stocks on other threads.

Posters on all threads talk about different stocks, whether
same sector, yield, growth or for recovery.

When you "highlight" a stock hundreds of times, that's not highlighting, that's ramping.

Look Im not the forum police. He can post what he likes, doesn't affect me. I didn't suggest he should delete posts from months ago. Im just saying what I see. It was woodhawk I think who brought up the topic of his ramping.

WhiskeyInTheJar - He doesn't excessively ramp. Sometimes I like people to highlight undervalued shares.

You can take it or leave it.

Whats your problem?

Oh yes, that's because your ramps were successful. You pulled in several other posters into stocks you've held. Fenners says he cant remember how he came to own many of the same stocks as you and has become interested in ALY. Lol.

Just talking across all holdings for yield and recovery.

WITJ

I have done that as I thought you were saying it was wrong,
so I removed them, crikey if I talk about other stocks
on other threads it is wrong, if I remove them so there
are no posts regarding other stocks that is wrong, good heavens.

The posts were just talking to other holders of either gvc, hgm
or aly, just yield stocks.

Fenners- you may not have read his posts, but I have.

Just like advertising, ramping doesn't always use obvious language.

If I was wrong about him ramping, why has he been going through, deleting hundreds of his cross ramping posts in the last hour?

With the growing middle class in the far east I believe there may well be hope for the co. If it markets properly there could be genuine growth to come over there.

However having found out how it is owned and run I suspect there will be one gainer in the end and he is the major shareholder.

It would seem logical that he allows the share price to dwindle pending taking it private and who can stop him?
The removal of cash from the balance sheet was pre-meditated.

The question posed before of whether the deal was unconnected to the directors - implied not explicit - still remains for me, we all know what the answer should be....

Holders of Laura Ashley (LSE: ALY) surely deserve a bit of sympathy. The shares were trading around 24p this time last year. Today, you can pick them up for just over 10p – making it the sixth worst performing small-cap on the main market.

A quick recap of February’s interim results for the six-month period to the end of December and this kind of performance should come as little surprise. Back then, the company revealed a 3.5% drop in total like-for-like retail sales with pre-tax profits slumping 28% to £7.8m. At a time when any retailer worth its salt is growing digital sales at a furious rate, it’s interesting to note that online revenue remained almost flat at £25.6m (an increase of just £600,000 on the same period in 2016).

Looking forward, the Newtown-based business is expected to post a 52% drop in earnings per share for this financial year. Dividends are unlikely to be covered by profits and I wouldn’t be surprised if the company’s balance sheet — which once boasted a net cash position — becomes even more fragile. Returns on capital, which used to be so high, are falling rapidly. Free cashflow has dropped off a cliff and, thanks to its significant store estate requiring regular investment, I can’t see this recovering anytime soon.

As inflation rises and consumer belts tighten, Laura Ashley looks more vulnerable than ever. On eight times earnings, this presents as nothing more than a value trap.
Bottom line

When it comes to investing, buying cheap doesn’t always work out well, particularly in the ultra-competitive retail sector. For every company that manages to turn things around, you’ve got several more continuing to struggle or falling into oblivion. As far as I can tell, both Game Digital and Laura Ashley are prime examples of the latter.

There are a few posters in all the same stocks, taking about
yield and movement is just that.

I honestly did not realise it was wrong to mention a few
stocks on different boards, to that I apologise and will
not do it again. RC give over.

No its ramping. Its normal to mention other shares. Its not normal to go on about your holdings dozens of times on every thread you post on.

Another example. Quick search on HGM thread, he's mentioned ALY about 50 times just on that thread.
