Dusseldorf


Very interesting - LOL - RSV !!!

[farsight] 29/7/2004 17:23

Can anybody tell me the best way to get into shorting?

Hey, only kidding.

[dusseldorf] 29/7/2004 13:29

liam1om - the ONLY reason the price is where it is now is speculative investment. The NMS of this stock is low, hence the market makers hold little stock...when people rush to buy the MM's are forced to increase the price because the earlier falls encouraged little selling.

Once the funding has been agreed the 'funder' will no doubt sell half/all of stock aquired to the market makers in effect shorting the share....after all If I invested say £500,000 in a company and was told it was worth £1,500,000 on the day it hit market, I'd be a fool not to sell (especially given the early stage development of TES).

I'm only highlighting this as I have seen similar stories (funding below market price) so many times...and the result is always the same.

Our thots must now go out to the poor misled sheep who bought at 60p....

[royalexile] 29/7/2004 13:17

Could have been a decent short at 70p if it had rose to that level !

[liam1om] 29/7/2004 13:14

Dusseldorf,

If it was as simple as that do you really think the price would be where it is now???

[dusseldorf] 29/7/2004 13:11

If you ask me those who bought before the initial surge had some good luck. Those who are buying now are sheep.

When funding is granted at not more than 15p the price will slowly drift down to say 20p. You have my word.

[sportbilly1976] 29/7/2004 13:02

be careful - the problem with this kind of rise is that as soon as people start taking profits, the Mm's will drop the price quicker than a stone - there is no news to support this rise as yet, so they wont be left holding the baby, thats for sure...

[royalexile] 29/7/2004 12:17

i'll keep my fingers crossed !

[liam1om] 29/7/2004 12:00

Give it time... Same thing happened yesterday.

[royalexile] 29/7/2004 11:58

[pipwattam] 29/7/2004 10:17

hefty delayed buys coming in - obviouslythose in the "know"

[gunnergonk] 29/7/2004 10:12

70p and then news would be nice! shouldnt have too much problem doing 65p by close imo.

[pipwattam] 29/7/2004 10:10

going up again,
price is saying news is imminent - today or tomorrow

70p imvo the least to expect, my own expectation is that it will double from here!

[gunnergonk] 29/7/2004 10:10

as i speak there we go!

[gunnergonk] 29/7/2004 10:09
