The shareprophets lot (the ones with the silly names) are starting their "short" ramping on Wirecard. I would imagine it will escalate to full volume when they have their positions on.

Whereas the logic for the short on OPAY was quite frankly silly, Oh my gosh they have a large customer in China and we all know the Chinese are nasty. The logic for a short on Wirecard is sounder, but does not mean it will be correct.

Wirecard have just bought an Indian payments company good logic there, fast growing market, lots of people that send money home to families, etc.

Having said that the price paid seems a tad expensive. They paid 7.5x sales and 49x FY2015 EBITDA.

If OPAY was valued on these metrics then the share price would be double what it is today.

storm in a teacup - share price will recover over next week - there were no financial losses and this is 4/5 years old- sensational headlines dressed up as "journalism" forcing the hand of OPAY to make a statement about a non-event

fine line between "press speculation" and "manipulation of share price through journalism" by vested interests - one for the FCA

If you are looking at H&L, it may not be a sell, it could be a buy as it's assumption based on the share price at the time of sale.

The share price of the sale was 342p so the share price had already dipped prior to the sale going through so it maybe a buy or potentially delayed.

wpg has a crazy valuation considering not made a profit yet, looking at share price I can see people selling tomorrow and buying into opay if they have sector knowledge, opay is half the value and showing a greater profit, free cash flow for profit enhancing acquisitions and a lot of potential newsflow to keep the share price active.

Once Opay have executed the integration of Skrill and been able to re-assure the markets of the continued and increased growth, cost-savings from synergies etc then that will reduce investor risk in Opay and the share price will rise accordingly. Rome wasn't built in a day..........!!

'If you want to gamble,’ said Sir James Goldsmith, 'own the casino’ Photo: Rex Features
Is gold the ultimate safe haven asset?
'Safe haven' investments such as gold, the dollar or hedging sounds appealing but may not always be the best solution

One evening about 20 years ago I was talking about gambling with my friend, the late Sir James Goldsmith. “If you want to gamble,” he said, “own the casino.”
With this kind of thinking in mind I recommend to you a company that benefits substantially from the dramatic worldwide growth in gambling but does not take risks on the bets being made.
The company, which made it through all the “sieves” I use to evaluate shares, is Optimal Payments (soon to be renamed Paysafe Group), which offers online payment solutions to merchants and consumers and provides services to businesses and individuals to allow the processing of payments by direct debit, electronic cheques and credit cards.
An excellent 46‑page circular by Citi explains that gambling customers like to use “e‑wallets”, because they pay instantly, maintain anonymity and allow payments to multiple gambling sites without the tedium of having to enter personal details again and again. Following Optimal’s recent acquisition of its main rival, Skrill, e‑wallets should account for about 45pc of the forecast future profits of the enlarged group.
Payment processing (30pc of future profits) is very competitive so it has lower margins. Optimal can also now distribute prepaid payment vouchers for secure online transactions (25pc of future profits).

On August 10 Optimal completed the Skrill acquisition, more than doubling the size of the group. The deal was superb because it enhanced earnings, improved the quality of those earnings and has the scope for very substantial synergistic savings as the two companies are rationalised.
The enlarged group should provide significant future cashflow, which will bring borrowings down while preserving sufficient cash and facilities to fund future acquisitions.
The numbers look very attractive to me. At the present price of 327p the 2016 price to earnings (p/e) ratio is 16, based on forecast growth in earnings per share of 28pc for the year ahead. Cashflow is likely to be excellent, there has been no selling by directors, there is a fast-rising dividend yield, currently 1.8pc, and the relative strength of the shares against the market has been very positive recently.
There are a number of reasons why the share price is likely to rise:
1. Potential savings from the Skrill acquisition are at least $40m (£26m) a year and could be much more. Margins should also improve and there will be many opportunities for cross-selling.
2. Both Numis, the stockbroker, and Barclays have a target price of 450p. Citi’s “base-caseR21; target is 400p, with a “bull-caseR21; target of 455p.
3. Citi compared Optimal with a range of similar companies. The bank found that on average the peer group was 20pc more expensive, providing justification for a rise in the valuation of Optimal’s shares.
4. Strong free cashflow will facilitate more acquisitions, which are likely to enhance earnings immediately.
5. Optimal has been an Aim stock but has now applied to join the main market in October. With a market value of about £1.5bn the company is a very likely candidate for the FTSE 250 index later in the year, with consequent buying by fund managers who track the index.

Holding long term for £5!! Not day trading this, that is a ridiculous suggestion!! Look at the chart, look at the share price in recent RNS and how it performed following RNS. Let's not forget that the market itself has dipped, not just OPAY! If anything it has done a hell of a lot better!! We won't see sub 300p unless the market significantly drops and as we've seen, it's dropped along with it, otherwise the share price will continue to creep up.

There's too much potential and the big boys will be into this soon!! Not ramping, simply do your research

The Telegraph "tip" made me smile , it was their Questor column who said to sell Opay last Novermberish causing a large drop in share price and presenting a great buying opportunity for those of us with faith. After that the share price steadily increased then Skrill came along. I would be worried if it was them tipping us but it's a Fundmanager.
