In the last 12 months there has been at least 8 occasions where if a 15% trailing stop loss had been employed it would have been stopped out.

Buying then and turning off the monitor for a year has by comparison seen more than 100% capital growth and a good dividend payment.

There is a thriving financial 'services' industry comprising execution only spread-bet/cfd service providers, MM's, Hedge funds, Brokers etc that routinely fleeces the 96% of short term traders that lose money over the long term - the spread betting and CFD industry has simply brought an extra sophistication to the shearing process

Short of time today, but:-

IMO

Technical.

Head and shoulder pattern.

Often these seen "as toppy". Reality is that mopstly these represent a continuation pattern...

Many examples thereof in 2 year chart (see header...no tiume to draw for you).

The market is a bit wobbly for small caps, and mms are pushing shares down to create some business for themselves because its been a slow start to the year for them. the mms know if they push shares down enough it will trigger off stop losses and panic other weak holders into selling, its the oldest trick in the book.

Best thing is hold tight, ride out the storm, and take advantage and add if possible.

Ory last bought at 188, i think i will be joining him tomorrow, a gift!

[bc4] 01/2/2018 16:37

I bet none of the big holders have reduced!

[the juggler] 01/2/2018 15:07

Reduced by a third earlier - it was down 4p a share then. Sick of this dripping daily. If it goes back to 155p I will have a shed load!

For all of us it is irksome

[michaeljames1] 01/2/2018 14:59

Still annoying when I thought the retrace from 220 to 200 would be enough, however long term whether I bought at 200 or 190 shouldn't make too much difference.

[acamas] 01/2/2018 14:03

I would not have thought so The UK is a fully regulated market which XLM are comfortable to be part of so the new rules should not pose a problem to them. Added to which they have 150 online gaming operators in more than 20 countries. To my mind this is more likely a retrace by the share price to catch it breath before heading towards 290p. One step back two steps forward during 2018

[pshevlin] 01/2/2018 12:56

Is this drop anything to do with prospective new gambling rules in GB

[oneillshaun] 31/1/2018 11:54

superadams - why do you say that? if you look at GIG for example operator and affiliate every gaming company is more than happy to work with them.

[superadams] 31/1/2018 11:34

Neill- don't think online gambling clients of XLM would be too keen on continuing if it was owned by GVC ( which I also own ).

[oneillshaun] 31/1/2018 10:28

igoe104 - if it is gaming i would expect small ones around the 3 to 4m GBP mark.

Just a thought i assume most are aware of GVC and how much of a beast they are and how aggressive they are does anybody think they would have an interest in buying Xl media?

[igoe104] 31/1/2018 09:44

What are you expecting shaun, one big acquisition or lots of smaller ones or 2-3 medium size ones ?

[oneillshaun] 31/1/2018 09:38

igoe104 - i think the XL team are constantly due diligence with a lot of companies, knowing how M&A has been in the gaming industry the last year i would think the XL team would have looked at maybe 40 - 50 companies the industry is going crazy if you look at Catena or GIG they are buying companies like crazy all of these deals would have been offered to XL.

[igoe104] 31/1/2018 09:22

With raising a specific amount recently, I think XLM are probably at a due diligence stage of acquisition anyway.

[mount teide] 31/1/2018 09:19

Took another 10k at 192p - looks like they've had their fill.

[esther1975] 31/1/2018 09:11

Can't buy any sizable amount online within the spread. Short on stock. Don't get shaken out

[oneillshaun] 31/1/2018 08:51

Mount Teide - lets hope you are right.

[mount teide] 31/1/2018 08:45

Cynic might suggest acquisition news is imminent and those in the know are using the knowledge to push the price down to free up some stock!

[pazzuzu] 31/1/2018 08:42

It heard you :(

[oneillshaun] 31/1/2018 08:39

but sub 190 and i will cry.

[basem1] 31/1/2018 08:35

It's no longer looking as cheap as it did. I've downgraded it to buy from strong buy on my monitors having sold at £2.

[basem1] 31/1/2018 08:34

The $ weakening is not helping either.
