Is this another false news?

Dime - thanks - however most confused re no rns -
Times article may well explain current share price spike.

[smurfy2001] 14/1/2020 10:05

Stockstracker re 5445 - Source please - as all recent rns's re holdings are re Black Rock- Stockopedia show Dodge and Cox stake at only 7.07% - Confused.

If those figures disappoint next month I can see 875p, I like a punt but wait and see figures first.

[smurfy2001] 06/1/2020 13:25

Taken a punt with dividend money @ £11.042 average

Speculation from SharesMag - 19 December FWIW:

"WILL MICRO FOCUS BE TAKEN OVER?
Micro Focus (MCRO) has effectively been in play
since its latest profits shock in August sparked
a strategic review that many analysts felt was a
euphemism for raising the ‘for sale’ sign.
The company, which provides software that
bridges the gap between new and old technology
systems, has been a bag of bits for a while so it is no
surprise that selling unwanted parts of the business
is the official line.
Yet speculation persists that the entire
company is on the block and various rumours
have come and gone.
It is quite possible that the publication of its
full-year results on 4 February 2020 could finally
draw genuine offers, with analysts anticipating
35% to 40% premiums to be offered to the current
£10.36. You should expect trade and private
equity to be interested in parts of, or more likely,
the entire business."

It's just bobbing along between 10 pounds (ish) and 11 pounds (ish) could be worth trading....

[brownbear40] 17/12/2019 16:04

OK - I'm on board now, been following this undervaluation for a while now and things look to have settled around this mark. Probably take a couple of earnings reports for the market to realise that, but lets hope for the best.

BTW rabbitfoot1 - NMC Health down 42% today, I genuinely hope you had decent stop loss.

[rabbitfoot1] 10/12/2019 13:19

You guys should heed my advice: dump this loser (as I did) and load up with NMC (as I also did), which is about to take a bull ride !

[dynz] 28/11/2019 17:32

Shareware News stated today;
Micro Focus and Bellway were both lower after going ex dividend, while Go-Ahead Group fell after it said the performance of regional bus operations has been "slightly weaker" than expected in recent months.

?????? What ex-div ??????

[itsnotmeitsy0u] 25/11/2019 11:57

no problem gramps; you're a little late to the party anyway

[shaker44] 24/11/2019 00:54

Hahahaha. Comedian. But don't give up your day job. Filtered Sonny. Gonna miss you. Not

[itsnotmeitsy0u] 23/11/2019 19:30

thanks for that pearl of wisdom there gramps - hope your punt on the horses went well today

[shaker44] 22/11/2019 22:57

Who said I was depending on posts?? Weird how people try to restate something someone didn't say? Not sure if that's deliberate or lack of comprehension. That would be like me saying you only base your investment decisions on analysing financial statements. Crazy huh? You can't steer a ship by looking at it's wake can you? Value is about the future. Ask Buffet about his huge Tesco loss based on financial analysis!
I do very well thanks by assessing info from many places, including after properly assessing tips/ info sourced from sites. Hope you are doing well too.

[gabsterx] 22/11/2019 17:15

Just my opinion but if you're depending on posts from random strangers on the internet for persuading you to buy shares from a company instead of doing your own homework by analysing the financial statements in the annual report, then maybe you should stick to index funds.

[shaker44] 22/11/2019 14:12

Stupidly strange comment. should you be out on day release? Hope you are not a danger to yourself, or others. Clearly one sandwich short of a picnic.probably qualifies you to buy mcro right now
