Hi matrixYes I held PAYS/OPAY for about 5 years and made a tidy sum....but it should have been more. A complete debacle in the end. Onwards and upwards....

[the juggler] 03/10/2017 13:04

I too am a PAYS refugee. Took £6 for mine and joined in here about 2 months ago. Also have TAP, AFX and IQE. I have great hopes for XLM.

[matrix25] 03/10/2017 12:45

Yes guys. I sold PAYS and have bought into XLM,topup in RED and PFC.
I see a few posters from PAYS thread on here.Good to see you guys on here.
I wonder if more will follow?
Melf, you were in PAYS a long time. Hope XLM followes the same path.We were robbed in the end, in PAYS.
Bwana.

sdtreble, the jewel in the crown is California which is, I think, the eighth largest economy in the world on it's own. However, it is a complete mess as far as legalising online gambling because of long running issues with the native Indian tribes. Maybe one day...........

[melf] 03/10/2017 12:25

Hope you're correct Riv, but having been a holder of PAYS, and have followed the potential legalising of online gambling in the U.S. saga for years, I'm firmly in the "believe it when I see it" camp.

Apparently it's the "Land of the Free" where you can walk into a shop and buy a gun, but you can't place a bet online (accept for 3 states currently)!

Hopes are increasing that another US state is about to authorise online gambling.....



"Pennsylvania Budget Deal Reportedly Close, State to Authorize Rural ‘Mini-Casinos’
October 02, 2017 By Samantha Beckett

The $32 billion Pennsylvania budget that Governor Tom Wolf (D) allowed to pass without his signature in late June is underfunded by $2.2 billion, and it now appears the odds are fairly strong that some sort of gaming expansion measure will be used to partially cover the shortfall....

.....Online Gaming

Should Pennsylvania additionally legalize online poker and iSlot play, it would become just the fourth state in America to do so. Nevada, Delaware, and New Jersey all offer internet poker, but no jurisdiction has joined them since 2013.

Inadequate liquidity has been blamed for poor results stemming from legalized online poker. US operators have been looking for a more populated state to join the fray, and they get just that with the Keystone State.

Networks such as PokerStars and 888 will hope Pennsylvania will enter into interstate compacts to share players across state borders."

Pointless waiting for the cash from PAYS. When the masses get it money will stream into the market and stock will rise rapidly. Better to sell and get in now. That's what I've done in TAP and XLM.

[oneillshaun] 03/10/2017 09:18

busterdog2 - take a look at Catena

[welsheagle] 03/10/2017 09:15

Quite a few people seem to be planning to buy XLM when they receive the cash from Paysafe.

[largeronald] 02/10/2017 16:39

Don't say that - just been right royally donald by the PAYS management.

[busterdog2] 02/10/2017 16:24

Have you heard a whisper Shaun?

[oneillshaun] 02/10/2017 16:17

[gconvery] 02/10/2017 15:54

On the verge of a breakout by the looks of it.... ?

[farmergeorge] 01/10/2017 11:44

Mount Teide, thanks for that.

FG: Aim — 20 years of a few winners and many losers - FT

[farmergeorge] 01/10/2017 11:03

Mount Teide, could you provide a reference to the report, thanks.

AIM has always been a stock picker’s market.

Over the past 20 years, investors would have lost money in 72% of all the companies ever to have listed on AIM, according to the research of two University Professors, who were part of the team who designed the FTSE 100 index.

Analysing data on the 2,877 companies which have listed on Aim, they calculate that in more than 30% of cases, shareholders lost at least 95% of their investment.

By contrast, there are 39 companies — just 1.4% of the historic total — that have given investors multiyear returns in excess of 1,000 per cent.

“While these have been superb performers, there have simply not been enough of them for Aim as a whole to generate a decent return for investors,” says Prof Dimson.

“Everyone says Aim is a stockpicker’s market, but what they mean is that there are extremes of performance — both on the downside and the upside,” adds Prof Marsh.

“With more losers than winners, the people least equipped to sort the wheat from the chaff are private investors, and the people best equipped are the professional fund managers.”

Basically, what their research suggests is most PI's should consider investing in either a selection of the most successful Small Cap IT's/Funds over the last 5/10 years like Blackrock Smaller Companies IT(276% return over 10 years) or if your risk profile is a little higher, regularly study the largest ten holdings of these funds for research ideas for individual company investment.

Most of them I hold :-)

[nimbo1] 29/9/2017 13:17

hopefully this will make a break for it soon - its consolidating well and plenty of volume.

[jgoold] 29/9/2017 08:08

Thanks Rivaldo, I'll see what I can get.

[rivaldo] 28/9/2017 23:27

OT : jgoold, the spread on DKL is often tiny, only 0.25p! And on GAN, the true spread in the afternoon was only 25.45p-26.5p per the trades. Never look at the published spread and always look at the actual prices being achieved, which are often well inside the published spread.

[jgoold] 28/9/2017 21:43

Rivaldo, how do you get ok with the larger bid/offer spread on DKL and GAN? I've looked at these before and liked the companies but the spread has put me off.
