You could be right and I hope £3 is possible in a couple of years time. Have been caught out with this share in the past on spikes. I must admit could go either way in the next few weeks, I've banked the money and there for have no risk. Just disappointment if it rises.

[the patient investor] 13/2/2020 12:03

you will easily and comfortably get back at 3 quid

[inkey28] 13/2/2020 11:46

I'm waiting to get back in at around £1.40. Hope I get the chance, you just never know but it is good to bank profits

[johndoe23] 13/2/2020 11:21

This will retrace back before finals

[the patient investor] 13/2/2020 10:59

you have peaked, you are fired

[drsamwaa] 13/2/2020 10:49

This has peaked....I'm out

[christh] 13/2/2020 10:39

Back to 170p-172p today or tomorrow
High growth, strong Brand, still aiming at 200p.

[the patient investor] 13/2/2020 10:04

just done, a little punt of 907 shares, 1500 quid

[christh] 13/2/2020 08:50

a great Buying opportunity this morning.

Buy now

Further to #1713/1714, another Brode company, RWS, gave an AGM trading update this morning which yet again demonstrated the benefits of these cash-generative businesses, following the established pattern of paying down acquisition costs in short order - moving from net debt to net cash - allowing further acquisitions to be made and repeat the cycle.

ADVFN posters always obsessed by shorts imo. It's all pointless imo. If it's going up there is buying strength and vice versa. No more analysis really needed

[aimingupward2] 11/2/2020 12:30

I doubt if closing of short positions has contributed much to the recent rise. It wouldn’t be very opportune to close out at or around an all time high; better for them to wait for a fall back, unless they are convinced there won’t be one. The latest reduction mentioned on ShortTracker was back in December. The outstanding shorts now stand at 3.38%.

[tarrant777] 11/2/2020 10:51

High volumes! Shorts finally admitting defeat and closing major losing positions perhaps?

[phillis] 07/2/2020 12:22

Well you certainly have track record of standing out in a crowd......

[tarrant777] 07/2/2020 11:44

Probably!I'll be wearing my normal fish-net tights!x

[phillis] 07/2/2020 11:19

Tarrant
I still have a goodly chunk of stock and have long been a (for me anyway) largish holder in RWS since the very early days
You show the normal ignorance of the small investor attributing my view on valuation to a short position
I have never shorted in 50 years of investing

You are equally deluded if you think another company is going to buy LTG at this ridiculously high valuation
From where would they get a return for their own shareholders?

Edit
Oh BTW - see you at the RWS AGM next week?

[jeffian] 07/2/2020 10:56

#1713,

It rather depends what you are valuing. Like others, I came to this via the RWS connection and it is following the same pattern of highly cash-generative acquisitions which pay for themselves in pretty short order. There is simply no comparison between the RWS of 10 years ago and the company today and I expect the same to be true of LTG.

[drsamwaa] 07/2/2020 10:38

Yikes...valuation is ridiculous...this is peaking....don't be greedy

[tarrant777] 07/2/2020 10:34

I agree that another major acquisition in the US should see this splendid share rise even beyond today's all-time high. It is also possible that sooner or later, a major International Company could begin to consider the possible merits of acquiring LTG which now has an impressive international business, the majority of which produce high percentage recurring income and growing profits in US$. Additionally, a very significant shareholding is held by a (near billionaire) Chairman no longer in the first flush of youth who may at some stage welcome the opportunity to cash in and concentrate 100% on his equally impressive otherAIM super star RWS.In either scenario I think that people shorting this stock and pessimists like "Phillis" could be badly disappointed.

[phillis] 07/2/2020 10:04

sadly I rarely sell anything at the top!

[jeffian] 06/2/2020 22:54

Coronavirus?

[mfhmfh] 06/2/2020 17:50

When LTG make an acquisition then this flu to 200p.

IMHO.

[aimingupward2] 06/2/2020 15:58

The rush of buying since you posted, Phyllis, shows that there are people who not only disagree with you but are putting their money in where their thoughts are. LTG is on a high rating, certainly, but deservedly so in my view. It is certainly not on a 'ridiculous valuation'.

I don't expect so, but you just may have the 'last laugh'. We'll see by results time or as and when the next acquisition or two come along.

[jeffian] 06/2/2020 15:51

Aye, that's what I thought about Fevertree at IPO!
