Quite a big spike today (3%?)

Any reason?

[netcurtains] 01/8/2023 12:30

And a day later - doom ...

Ouch .....

[netcurtains] 31/7/2023 08:11

By Jove.
😃

[crystball1] 31/7/2023 08:04

Excellent interim results for PSON today.

[netcurtains] 27/7/2023 09:38

RELX reported today and its up loads.
No longer same sectors but there is still some cross over

[crystball1] 27/7/2023 09:32

PSON is rising nicely ahead of results.

[netcurtains] 30/6/2023 11:42

Is AI no good then? Just wondered why the comment mark down... I thought AI was the thing to get into.

[netcurtains] 09/5/2023 09:39

PSON go into AI

[netcurtains] 05/5/2023 15:25

Thanks.
The dividend cheque came in too.

[essentialinvestor] 04/5/2023 08:51

net, that was a very gutsy trade, congrats.

[netcurtains] 03/5/2023 17:41

LOL - No director is ever going to say their business is going to get destroyed - not unless they have gone insane - eg like Gerald Ranter.

[apollocreed1] 03/5/2023 14:30

But it was the director of Chegg himself that said AI would destroy their business.

[netcurtains] 03/5/2023 10:38

Its insane. Like AIM stock more than FTSE100...

Love it.

So many headless chickens in the city.

[dealy] 03/5/2023 10:17

quite the most hysterical sell offs in this and Cheggs yesterday just on the idea that something could be a problem

[netcurtains] 03/5/2023 09:15

Thanks EI....
IBM not the force it was in the 1980s. It dropped the ball and let Microsoft pick it up - unchallenged.

[essentialinvestor] 03/5/2023 08:23

Oh my, thanks.



You've probably seen the above from yesterday.

[netcurtains] 03/5/2023 08:19

PS - It does appear the market either likes my book (see above) or they feel the fall was over done - or possibly both
😀

[netcurtains] 03/5/2023 08:10

No EI, my foreground is in IT (background is investing)

- 40 years of coding from IBM Assembler in 1980s, to Voice recognition and AI in early 2020s.

ITs all in the book:

KILL THE CODER WITH THE LOWEST SCORE (Available in Amazon on e-readers and paperback).

(on the "see inside" feature or "Read sample" button you get to read first ten pages for free)



Blurb (on back cover)
Attempted murder? Alternative history? Computer programming? Thriller? Science fiction? A normal office tale?
It's difficult to say for sure. It was all so fast and furious.
Agent-X’s story is an account of the last forty years of technological progress and forty years of environmental decline.
Putin, Deep State, QAnon, the Dark Web, Bitcoin, Deep Fakes, the Internet, Climate Change, Covid-19, AI, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Chatbots, Fast Cars, Drugs, Oil, and the Banking Crash all have a part to play.
Warning from the archivist: If you read this book, and act on its contents, take care. There will be attempts to derail your efforts, including physical harm.
The world is heading for disaster. Unless you act, life as we know it will cease.
In 2030 there will be a cataclysmic climate disaster. Make the last few years count.
Many of the events in this book will seem unlikely, perhaps impossible.
But surprisingly, this history is based on a true story. Agent-X is a real person.

[essentialinvestor] 03/5/2023 08:05

Net, your background is in IT?.

[netcurtains] 03/5/2023 08:03

I experimented buying a few....
No big risk.
Just on the hope that the fall was a tad bit over done.
Fingers crossed.

[netcurtains] 02/5/2023 16:38

Turnover a few million. That is tiny.
Valuation is American - lost touch with reality.

As I said, lots of media companies fell today.
Just look at ITV.

No idea why.

See it as an opportunity.... At least I do.

[liam1om] 02/5/2023 15:42

Wouldnt call it tiny, $2Billion market cap and they are in the same sector as PSON, so its very relevant.

[netcurtains] 02/5/2023 15:23

EI: That is a tiny company. I dont see what that has to do with anything.
ITV down loads too.
Is ChatGBT getting its own TV company?

Its just nuts....

I'll be buying more once, it settles.

[netcurtains] 02/5/2023 10:24

So if like me, you dont see ChatGBT having any negative impact on education sector this could be a great time to buy a wad of Pearson

or should I wait for panicers to really get panicing - buy sometime next week?

Difficult one.
