I just sold a third of mine for 719 ; I think I will be buying them back soon at a small discount. And if I am wrong and it is a real bid , then I still hold 2/3rds.
I hate to watch a share surge and fall , and make nothing from it.

not all bogus rumours stick.
but well done that man for creating a temporary spike on light summer volume.
there are some slick operators in the city.

Cynical and mocking piece on yesterdays activity.

[cool runnings] 14/8/2012 17:12

20m shares traded or approx £140m worth, on the back of a mail puff?? Surely something more to this!!

SVT and PNN had exactly the same spike between 11 and 12. In all three cases the price at noon was almost identical to the price at 11am but in the case of SVT they pretty much flat-lined for the rest of the day, PNN gradually crept back up and recovered over a third of the 11-12 peak whereas UU gradually declined and closed at a lower price than it was at 11am. All very odd!!

[jon827] 14/8/2012 16:52

was that spike to 816 for real???

[wad collector] 14/8/2012 16:10

You missed the "humble" bit out.
Todays chart is a good skyline though.

(unless it draws one of Trumps creations before the end lol! - im going mad i say, Mad!)

[edgefund] 14/8/2012 15:38

nope balls of steel - brown underwear lol

Charting this, Its finnished forming the Empire States Building and now its closing in on the small apartment blocks on the right of the screen ready to drop off in the Madison River

[quidzinn] 14/8/2012 15:22

Edge,

Hope you've closed that short ....

Q

[edgefund] 14/8/2012 14:56

short not doing so bad from 740... game on

[aleks_atanasov] 14/8/2012 12:41

aha i see, sorry haha what a waste at least for every 10K lost the bookie might give you a t-shirt ... "next time you win Timmy boy"! Anyway.

[edgefund] 14/8/2012 12:24

not a chance, he can keep his dirty fing hands off. Id rather short ladbrokes than exchange cash for a worthless bit of paper with no credentials for a 3.15 tip at Epsom or play their stupid "eletronic dog track" - what muppet would do that for..?

[aleks_atanasov] 14/8/2012 12:20

Edge - you are the man then - your bookie loves ya!

[edgefund] 14/8/2012 12:15

kibes

trouble is all the politics which goes with it.....nothing is owned by GKP if it is still in the ground, and those with a stake will make their national claim.

[edgefund] 14/8/2012 12:13

lets not forget that 6-7% profit in a day on 10k is not a bad days work right?

Then being on the "edge" is what excites and drives me.

its worth a short again near the next high, trouble is guestimating with charts and all that balls

[kibes] 14/8/2012 12:10

smurfy - GKP has possibly 10 billion barrels of oil recoverable - worth a staggering $1 trillion at $100/bbl. And UU. is a regulated utility with lots of debt. Not exactly comparable!

[aleks_atanasov] 14/8/2012 12:05

EdgeFund - man you are really a "Fund" .. tho technically you are losing less money than 99.99% of them. why on earth would someone initiate a trade if the maximum gain is 6-7% 740p - 690p? and lets not forget why would someone short a bid target...

[smurfy2001] 14/8/2012 12:01

From 800p to 735, that's why l don't chase. If this get's anywhere near 900p, i'll be tempted to short.

[edgefund] 14/8/2012 12:00

oooops nope.....

Time for a swift exit - bring out the short. 5k should do it

[edgefund] 14/8/2012 11:58

support at 7.40?

[aleks_atanasov] 14/8/2012 11:57

no no, GKP is different animal its impossible to see this dog going from the lower left hand to the upper right hand of the graph...say in the next month. it will be all done and dusted by tomorrow morning.. either way!

[smurfy2001] 14/8/2012 11:54

Just look at the GKP buyout rumour and what happened afterwards. Agree the P/E is high but who knows, hence why it's interesting to watch at a distance.

Looks like the Grand Old Duke of York has been in the market too
