MCLS is worth a look as a take over target 90% off its lows.

If anyone is interested i took the £10 "dead cat bounce" (I bought about £450s worth this morning) - just sold.
I was just mucking around.
I dont normally day trade but I thought Id give it a go. I know it was a bit childish.
Good luck to everyone in this.

For me there is no such thing as an "easy-picking" stock, this is not an easy game but a game of probability and risk management. I consider that the share price of companies that have sustainable, reliable growth, a track record of underpromising and overdelivering, are not excessively leveraged and have defensible margins have a greater probability of success in the long term than those that do not. LOOP appears to no longer meet my criteria, so I sold out. Good luck to those who still hold, or are looking to take a position here.

Hi, what other easy-picking stocks are you looking at ? Thanks in advance.

netcurtains asks a sensible question, but I doubt if anyone can answer it here.

I just wonder if its a case of everyone going along with increases in adjusted EBITDA, until it looks like it won't happen. Then they start to look at the statutory profits, which are very different in this case. I do think that has significant implications. I was thinking of buying in here a while ago, but didn't like the fully capitalised R&D spend.

As firtashia says, there are a lot of other companies to invest in.

It does look like more than one person got wind of a bad second half though.

With some of these growth stocks (with a debate over exactly what growth is being talked about as valid), all it takes is for something like this to knock the rating back. Combine that with a drop in forecast growth and hey presto ! Just the opposite of when it flies.

Netcurtains- the director sales, the 30% sell off prior to the profit warning, could have been an indication that somebody knew something. Or maybe it did not? Now we have the supposed disparities between the company's guidance in the trading statement and Numis's forecasts. Who do you believe? I personally sold my remaining holding on Friday - way too much going on here for me. I do not need to try and second guess what’s going on here when there are hundreds of other stocks in my universe. Why try and hit Curtly Ambrose over the top on a rapidly deteriorating pitch in baking heat on the final day of a test match in Barbados, when you can wait for Roger Harper to come on bowling gentle off breaks?

Action on Friday was instigated by an alleged HNW individual's concert party, acting together and following the lead from their brokers note. Institution sales were late into the game (with C£1m in 160 trades). Most deals were roughly £5,720.

Its very likely that an II sold last Friday because Loop's MCap dropped below £50m which is the mcap risk threshold for some fund management firms

[netcurtains] 30/11/2020 10:30

Do we know why this fell so much?
I mean that was a heck of a fall......
Is it worth buying a few for either "dead cat bounce" or "recovery"
either way?

[noreply1] 30/11/2020 10:09

Nice reply will save that one as I like it.

[valhamos] 30/11/2020 10:02

1224saj Absolutely and remember they have a much greater profile than before the pandemic - lead generation for new business is 4 times higher. And the cloud telephony pipeline has grown 68% in a few months to £84m - great opportunity.

[noreply1] 30/11/2020 10:00

Lots of mug punters guessing the bottom oh dear...

[1224saj] 30/11/2020 09:36

The big news here is that their contracted revue is getting stronger ( money guaranteed ) and the PAYG model ( not guaranteed revenue ) is getting weaker. Solid foundation for the future
