all those who have, have been well and truly screwed.

[ozzmosiz] 19/8/2020 00:09

Ive not followed anyone

[montyhedge] 18/8/2020 21:24

Of course even lower, if management disappoints again.Hopefully won't be like 29th August 2019, down 30% on update.I'm bullish on Micro, but want to see what damage Coronavirus is having on revenue.

[hotaimstocks] 18/8/2020 21:19

on poor news we could see 250p

[sr2day] 18/8/2020 21:07

osmosis,too late mate,serve you right for following him blindly.you were warned.

[montyhedge] 18/8/2020 20:12

Your know I'm right,

[clemoc] 18/8/2020 20:03

Monty - I can't quite work you out as your posts seem to have mixed messages...
What is it you do for a living out of interest?

[ozzmosiz] 18/8/2020 19:28

Filtered monty now, funding him an irritant.

[buyashare] 18/8/2020 18:30

Anyone know much about Enteq (ETQ)?
Is it worth a punt or one to shy away from ?

[montyhedge] 18/8/2020 18:09

Nothing will happen drastically on shareprice until a trading update,So shareprice will drift and shares don't drift up.My guesstimate is next Friday 28th August. Last year 29th August.

[montyhedge] 18/8/2020 13:57

Ah The Grim Reaper turned up, normal dross I suppose.Thank goodness his filtered, lol.

[sr2day] 18/8/2020 13:54

if he is not invested i believe it is right to wait until the update.

[montyhedge] 18/8/2020 13:40

Got to buy at the right price.

[montyhedge] 18/8/2020 13:38

I would pay 5% more if positive news, rather buy now chance of losing 20% next week. But if negative news, shares down, look at the situation and may buy also.

[dplewis1] 18/8/2020 13:23

Hang on.. you said earlier you don't mind paying more if it's a decent update, but then you've also said you'll buy if it drops 20%. So why not buy now and just have done with it if you're going to buy whatever the outcome..

[sr2day] 18/8/2020 13:06

Patient like you is a threat.stay on your imaginary golf course.

[montyhedge] 18/8/2020 12:47

Not short or long, just waiting I'm basically a bull, but waiting for update, either down 20% or up 20%, If down on I shall pile in, market always over does things to the up or down side. Patients the key to trading.

[orange1] 18/8/2020 12:34

Sadly I don't think he's gone short. That would at least show that he has a brain, can consider arguments and reach a decision. But he hasn't and he can't. He just throws out random numbers, tells us that others such as the directors should be followed because they have "skin in the game" and know more than we do and repeats any number of platitudes such as "cash cow" and "even the bears know this is oversold".

Despite all his gung-ho nonsense he can't even bring himself to buy when the price is 304p. Why? Because the price happened to have gone down 30% twelve months ago.

What a prize fool. No brain. No guts. Just nothing but meaningless numbers and undiluted rubbish. All day long.

On a risk on day to boot.

[dr knowledge] 18/8/2020 12:10

People, it is pretty obvious that our resident commentator (aka the "constant repeater" has gone short. Talk of bears increasing their positions & broker upgrades (none I can see) to pump & dump are meaningless when just ONE fund has increased its short by a less than intimidating 0.009% (more than offset by recent fund purchases). I'm totally with dp and the likes here in the sense that unless matters have got considerably worse over the past few weeks any whiff of positive news will take this to new trading levels with consummate ease.

[dplewis1] 18/8/2020 11:24

Well this is where I differ. Looking back at the impairment and the kitchen sink job, almost any positive mumblings about a better outlook or things normalising will send it higher.. worth a punt imo which is exactly what I've done.

[montyhedge] 18/8/2020 10:43

Ozz
Just have to wait and see, I'm not long going into update. Surely can't be good with Coronavirus, they had profit warning before Coronavirus.

[enormouswillie] 18/8/2020 10:41

However...

There is a level at which point, a company becomes ludicrously undervalued in relation to it's assets and fundamentals, regardless of current sentiment and forces working against it. I believe we are at that level with Micro Focus now.

So it would not surprise me, even on a cautionary update and outlook, for the share price to rise and recover from this point in time.

[ozzmosiz] 18/8/2020 10:40

And again, Causeway recently acquired upto 5% going long.

[orange1] 18/8/2020 10:38

Shorts quietly opening positions? Every time they breathe you have to tell us about it.
