Technically looks good.

Base built at 337 area and all indicators now improving.

Could get a nice run up to the larger divi early march circa 8p.

And now he is flying south LOL.

[jonojubb] 28/1/2014 10:05

Thanks 2NGH, keep the updates coming please!

[cricklewood] 28/1/2014 09:52

Swanee is at the ready LOL.

[2ngh] 28/1/2014 09:52

Buyers are back,

near 4% yield and possible huge growth.

[2ngh] 28/1/2014 09:45

A break of 340 and its off to the races!!

(No pun)

[2ngh] 28/1/2014 09:32

Strongest growth figures since 2007.

Should help the share price here.

[2ngh] 28/1/2014 09:12

Good GDP figures should help here.

[2ngh] 27/1/2014 13:38

Looks like it might have been a good entry buy today.

MS price target gives 33% upside.

Its trading at a 52 week low so anyone who has bought in the last year is down.

The company has added the US,OZ and Spain last year so makes this the bargain of the year at these levels. You are basically getting those additions for free.

That doesn't mean that there will be a turnaround yet as the markets are now in full corective mode, might be worth averaging down depending on how low this might get taken.

Aproaching a well covered 4% yield with huge growth potential makes this an attractive propsition imo.

[rye2] 25/1/2014 11:35

Me too i dived in and now down about £1.5k!

[jonojubb] 25/1/2014 05:46

Roofter - I did the same and bought last week, I still believe this share price is/was a good entry point so I dived in.I believe this will go up above 400p sometime this year, fingers crossed.

[roofer2] 24/1/2014 15:49

Oh I blame myself for this fall in price, bought in last week
and down 2K already. I did buy with a dividend as back-up though
So not all bad.

Enjoy the weekend

Must be the only share to fall 1% on broker upgrades representing a possible 40% uplift on the shares!!!!

Brownie

You seem to be missing the huge US market potential coming on stream which is likely to be twice that of the UK - Worth circa £3-4 a share within 24 months. (3Bn)

There is also the OZ market which is also likely to be twice that of the UK market - Worth circa £3-4 a share within 24 months. (3Bn)

There is also the European markets which could also eclipse the UK market as a whole. (3bn)

You also have the PCT incorrect, its a maximum of 15% but various sources have advised that it should be below 10% (KPMG Best case study).

The growth here is huge after the US/OZ and Spanish aquistions and as RT himself said, he wants this to be a 5bn-6bn company by the end of his current contract of dec 15.

3.5% While you wait and the capital growth could be incredible.

[roth] 23/1/2014 13:25

W.H. looks an excellent recovery bet from these levels. The performance this year looks to have been a bit flat in terms of earnings and the threat of tax on profits has put a huge dampener on the shares price performance. But any potential 'bad ' news is well in the price, whilst the good growth news that should ensue from a world cup year and future overseas earnings appears to be being completely overlooked, at the moment. I anticipate a sharp reversal of the current down trend is imminent.

[shugsy] 23/1/2014 12:24

Its the International and European markets that have only just been added that could create a 5bn-7bn company.

Those markets totally eclipse that of the UK.

3.5% return with huge growth potential, just what is best entry.

[killing_time] 23/1/2014 11:49

Agreed, the 15% is in the price now.

Going over this company quickly i am really starting to like it. The thing that seems to be doing the damage to the share price is the uncertainty over betting terminals, but if there was no uncertainty the share price would not be this low and i would not be looking.

Talking to a friend about WH last night, he seems to think that the government will just lower the maximum you can bet in one go from £100 to £20, which imo would not really effect the profits. Do you have an idea when the government will make a dicision on the terminals. KT.

Edit; just looked it up and the government are waiting for a review. Looking at the history so far it seems that every time Labour put a motion through parliment it gets voted down so i would not expect betting shops to be closed as local councils already have this power, so again the share price reaction is probably over done.

Didn't mean to block up your board with old news you have probably discussed before, KT.

We know worse case and that is priced in at 15%.

So only upside from here with respect to that.

[killing_time] 23/1/2014 11:22

So it looks like the day i start to buy will probably be Wednesday 19th March.

[shugsy] 23/1/2014 11:08

No problem. KPMG have advised on the issue and stated that the rate shouldn't be above 10% so will have to wait and see in March what Cameron has decided.

Hence the near 10%fall early Aug when it was first discussed.

Any positive revisions could see the share price recover quickly.
