Appears to been a series of large buys at 8am supporting the share price looks likes its going up (ESMA out of way - thx sj) we will see

[xajorkith] 26/3/2018 23:48

Totally agree pbutterworth1 & have been adding on recent weakness.

Short term, sub £10 is of course possible following the Founders sale & heightened fear of an imminent ESMA news release or general market sell off.

Longer term, the sheer quality & value offered here (a sea of top ranking green across the board on Stockopedia) must surely drive the share price far higher as we move through 2018.

All imho & dyor of course....

The more you look into equity market volatility trends, as well as recent crypto action, (many off 10% today) and bearing in mind hard won PLUS operating efficiencies, the more it look like PLUS must be absolutely raking it in at the moment GLA

Ok yes bob you were right, and good call too on your part. But that's done now and you're out..so who cares? Tomorrow's more interesting than yesterday.

Aakash30, I was surprised that no one had mentioned the fact that the overall markets had taken a pasting. Many things lost a bunch! However, we will see what this extended (in recent historic terms) volatility did to their prospects in due course. Like a few here, I feel that the market underestimates how much leverage PLUS has to increasing financial market volatility - possibly significantly more so than their competitors. In comparison, whatever happens to Crypto is of minor importance.

As I do not daytrade, its short term “vicissitudes” are only interesting insofar as I may wish to invest further. Its price action in recent months has been wild to say the least.

Aawash. That's because you are an idiot

Mini crypto crashette - majors off 5-7% in past hour
Good for business though!

Expecting CMCX to report this week perhaps Thursday or early next week which will give state of market without a crypto offering so a measure of currency/commodity/equity volatility which should still be good especially Q4 if that can be extracted from statement.

[aakash30] 26/3/2018 12:08

I personally wouldn't give Bob much credit for his call. The S&P is down 8% in the same time frame and FTSE 4%. But most importantly I didn't hear one cogent argument for the short or any useful response to the points raised by longs. All I heard was your a Mug...haha

Re trading update- just to comment that this is in my opinion a business run by very smart people, and you're not going to choose to put a trading update out at a time that the regulator is causing such uncertainty. You wait for ESMA and then, if you wish, you can update the market. I'd note that the nature of the business is such that senior management need not feel obliged to update the market when they are trading ahead of expectations, since in theory Q3 or Q4 could be flat as a millpond with revenues muted. This means management can update at their discretion.

Thanks butters. Top respect to you

davebdavid - 'Good luck to you and to others but I would never show my hand to anyone'.

Interesting comment. I don't mind sharing my experiences and trades. The only person you are really trading against in the investing world is your own self (personal targets)

Like SJ I am expecting a guidance update probably this week. IMHO the trading will have carried on in the same strong pattern recently established (markets been volatile) hence the share price looks too low.

Bob/Lydnem/ELC well done on recent short.

[hatfullofsky] 25/3/2018 12:08

Bob, if you're so successful why bother with boards such as this, they won't change your position and surely your time could be used much more effectively elsewhere

[bobmonkeyhouse] 23/3/2018 18:35

You are a mug

I call it right

FACT

[davebdavid] 23/3/2018 17:47

What you don't realise is many of us know how to ride things out and play the game. You think you are teaching all of us lessons. You have no idea how anyone trades.
I for one prefer to keep both my mistakes and fortunes private and I certainly would not presume others are mugs.
You gave an opinion you could have just backed it up with knowledge to maybe help others out and then sat and waited it out. There's no need to call others mugs etc, you have no idea how they have played this out nor do you know what others have made or lost. You were easily drawn into telling people what you have made, I cannot believe you fell for that.
Good luck to you and to others but I would never show my hand to anyone.

[bobmonkeyhouse] 23/3/2018 17:37

I can see why you would not like a poster that calls it so well, and always against the tide

[davebdavid] 23/3/2018 16:30

To be fair to Bob he called it well, even though it hasn't quite gone below 10,it's just a shame about the attitude.
At least that little game is over, hopefully we can get back to reading constructive posts about the future of this interesting share.

[bobmonkeyhouse] 23/3/2018 16:16

I will be keeping a close eye, it could very well fall further next week.

I think it is a horrible company still, and I dont like it.

[bobmonkeyhouse] 23/3/2018 16:14

I took 97 points out of it, could of had another 15....

[jplus] 23/3/2018 16:05

Well done at what price?
