Currently 26p buy, 22p sell on smaller amounts.

Early on I think the ask was .35 and you could pick these up for .21p. Also as someone else pointed out the bid seemed to be higher than the offer at one point. You can usually buy or sell within a wide spread depending on certain factors.(not that often on this stock previously though)

What i dont get is the share price is currently 0.3p a share but you can buy them at 0.26p a share. Why would that be????

Yes all good points about the voting aspect, hadn't fully appreciated the ramificatiobs..some interesting days ahead..

Options could pick up control of the PLC very quickly and cheaply . They not interested in the travel side , never have been , their only interest has been in the pharmaceutical dominated events side which dovetails into Options nicely .Think , just think , Options will look to move away from the asset less PLC quickly once travel sold . But Options need more shares quickly , which should create opportunity for those looking to sell just to get out .
Of course all of this is just idle speculation .

To be honest it would not bother me if it went down, this was only going to be a few day trade for me anyway. If it goes up to 0.4p bonus, if it goes down to 0.1p oh well. Just hope the share price steps up like it has been over the last hour and we could end up at 0.5 by the end of play today lol

Options can add to holdings super cheap now and then negotiate on the rest...?

Thing is the way the market makers mark up and down stock on this market lately has created a herd mentality. Many people will get burned unfortunately. But the more astute can make money. People look at the unbelievable events elsewhere and then look at this. It might not happen here but then again who knows? I find a good way of selecting punts is to draw experience from what has happened elsewhere. Some you lose some you win.

everyone jumping around thinking its a done deal , but look at the release again , its an interim progress report , all subject to shareholder approval on the 7th April . A number of things could , and probably will , change between now and then . Guessing but think Options might be in buying mood for more shares as they will want more instant control once/if travel out of way , for fairly obvious reasons .

Lets see on Monday how much money you make on this one.

[kevin 1896] 18/3/2011 13:13

I just bought 300.000 of these just incase too. Its only money but could well pay off on monday. Also look what happened to TXO a few days ago, they sank badly then rocketed to the moon within a week.

Good luck to all riskers

And looked what happened there after GTE announced their delisting in early March.

[loverat] 18/3/2011 12:52

I see news out at GTE which are delisting but putting back the date to mid april.

No point buying only if you are a shorter.
Don't get temepted to buy the cheap price.
No point throwing good money after bad.
Find a new investment if you want travel have a look at IHG target £15

....exactly!

[loverat] 18/3/2011 12:30

These haven't delisted yet and still some trading time.

[double6] 18/3/2011 12:28

Small gamble - could be a quick 200% ....

Then again.....

[loverat] 18/3/2011 12:21

I remember it was in fashion to drag along the husband to maternity classes - and even the birth. I would imagine things have moved on since then.

[qantas] 18/3/2011 12:18

Sorry would not know.

[loverat] 18/3/2011 12:16

Qantas

Do they still do those bum exercises in maternity classes?

[qantas] 18/3/2011 12:14

Not a deramper just the facts.
I am a Chinese rat lol.

[loverat] 18/3/2011 12:12

I remember someone once said that paid derampers were often woman on maternity leave. A good job if you can get it - pays for all those pampers.

[h d shoring] 18/3/2011 12:05

.He is probably a paid deramper all he posts is gloom ,never a reasoned discussion .

[loverat] 18/3/2011 11:56

Hey Quantas - you're not a travel agent by any chance? Your choice of user ID suggests you might be.

[loverat] 18/3/2011 11:55

Thanks Qantas - you're probably right on that.
