Various analysts commenting this morning on the press reports that the FOBT limit will be cut to only £2 (or at least much lower than presently), and noting the "structural shift online" and that William Hill for example would "look to scale up its online operations and to diversify away from the UK".

All of which is presumably good news for XLM.

seans66 - see you in 5 years time i guess 5 years time 600p plus or sold.

OneilshaunYes this week seemed like a good opportunity to build up a bigger stake.I first bought XLM around mid 50p, continued to add but stupidly sold around 80p mark. I have been waiting & waiting for a big pull back ever since. Finally at 1.40p, with my PAYS cash burning a while in my pocket I got back in. We continue to add on the inevitable pull backs during the year. Then I will sit wait, collect the nice dividends & see how the story unfolds over the next 5 years. That's my plan anyway.

seans66 - i almost doubled up a few short downside is the average price has jumped a lot but long term this is a huge winner, we are seeing 300p this year for sure. Very excited to see what XL do with the new cash they have.

Just noticed this was on high volume so reinforces the signal! Apologies to those of a non-chartist persuasion!

[igoe104] 18/1/2018 17:33

Its just about waiting for the acquisitions XLM have line-up, then broker upgrades, then happy days.

onwards and upwards.

Confirmation of hammer formation in place which indicates that selling pressure has relented. The last three times this has happened it has led to an average gain of about 15% over the next 1-2 weeks. Here's hoping that that pattern will repeat itself!

[villarich] 18/1/2018 16:35

I've been holding for a while and am about 20% up at current share price but had to have another dip in today. Nothing spectacular but had a bit of free cash in my SIPP.

I mistakenly used software for on-line obviously they are not interchangeable in this instance

[oneillshaun] 18/1/2018 16:01

software opportunities????

Does XL media buy software companies?

[acamas] 18/1/2018 15:57

You cannot keep a good share down, natural forces of investment principles always win through and they will do here so long as the current tenets of business are followed by our management.

I just wonder how many software opportunities they have under review at the minute. The more the merrier because we want them to cherry pick the best

[gargleblaster] 18/1/2018 15:37

Will be interesting to see how this closes - could be another hammer formation developing.

[bc4] 18/1/2018 14:00

Yeah they try to spook people

[oneillshaun] 18/1/2018 13:26

bc4 - well i for one would like to thank them pretty sure we will end flat for the day.

[bc4] 18/1/2018 13:15

More likely someone trying to drive the price down to pick up cheap shares

[mount teide] 18/1/2018 12:40

Riv - March ? that's when much of the 4+% short position threw in the towel and made a run for the exit door!

[rivaldo] 18/1/2018 12:29

Ridiculous markdown - looks like someone was a forced seller. Looking better now.

I note from the RNS that Swedbank crossed the notification threshold on 28th March 2017, but that they only informed XLM today! Looks like Swedbank's internal procedures need shaking up a bit....unless they took part in the placing and simply got the date wrong.

[mount teide] 18/1/2018 12:08

Upped my holding by a third this morning - with growth in the global economy strengthening markedly in 2017 and forecast to continue rising to 3.7% in 2018, with broad based upward revisions in the euro area, Japan, emerging Asia, emerging Europe, and Russia this could be a very good year for both the sector and XLM in particular.

[gargleblaster] 18/1/2018 11:47

Looks like Swedbank have opened a big new position - the Scandanavian connection is alive and kicking!

[wetdream] 18/1/2018 11:46

Looks like Swedbank have been buying.

[igoe104] 18/1/2018 11:34

You would think the market would be happy with XLM ambitious stance of looking for acquisitions ?

Strange world we live in.

[jgoold] 18/1/2018 11:22

Stopped out yesterday on my trading position but will keeping my core holding.

Thanks Mr Market. Helped myself to a few more......rude not to,

[waterloo01] 18/1/2018 10:45

250k buy just printed. I've added to my small holding. Like the raise as was purely a raise (rather than an exit for some) and directly for M&A.
