LondonMarket, but that became a concern since the world found out what is going on behind the scenes ;-) I'm not worried, because unlike them I can't lose billions if any if my investments go wrong. I don't have that kind of money hedge funds have access to, I don't gamble as they do and I'm not as greedy and scrupulous as they are. Also, I think a lot of investors are currently having seconds thought about investing into hedge funds. I know that there still is a bit of rats tail of short positions on this share, but that doesn't worry me. I invest into the future, not into a moment.
Agreed, just concerning (or potentially very exciting) that PSON is one of the stocks caught up in all the frenzy at the moment.
I am sure this will gradually go up. Especially when Pearson, will increase their digital learning facilities, which I am sure they are working on.
Now falling right back down...
Taking off again. Regards C8
Neil Wilson covered this in his daily Market trader update this morning from the Investors Chronicle. It's a weird fight between some investors against short sellers. Pumping up stocks to kill the shorters. Started in US but has now just moved to UK and Pearson has been heavily shorted :
"The problem it seems to me is that they are all working to artificially bid up the price of the security in question. This raises problems about potential securities fraud and specifically market manipulation. Bloomberg’s Matt Levine makes an excellent observation about the possibility of SEC action on this and whether or not the Redditors are carrying out what the regulator might see as an illegal short squeeze. In short, he thinks it could be seen as dodgy, or could be ignored. It’s up for debate still. But is it covert enough to be classed as market manipulation?"
I've got Pearson on watch following the Motley Fool recommendation of it as a strong long term buy but not bought any yet.
I think if you are a holder of Pearson and a believer of this story, then you need to think what to do if the stocks are being artificially inflated and not based on value growth ?
Seems to be true! GameStop like rise? Now 863, up 13% after toughing 909p....wow

moving up more ,also gdr moving up with information discovered by investors this morning
hoping for more of a move up here Today at pson
looking good
Why the sudden surge?
Steady rise over 6% with market... Looks someone closed their short position..
Now Pearson got a new CEO (not great start https://www.sharecast.com/news/news-and-announcements/pearson-shareholders-revolt-over-new-boss-birds-pay--7646704.html) and two latest brokers' reports giving two completely opposite targets( JPM buy, 900 and Berenburg sell, 450). The recent SP is quite dynamic - any thoughts?
looking good for a nice finish today
nice volume of buys ,good to see the number of buyers at pson .
BACK TO SCHOOL
RING ANY BELLS
Which company are you going to call.......
I thought so too but have now sold out on today’s rise.
Best of luck

Thanks Thistle. Thought Pearson should have more potential on its online education contents.

I have some pearson - what is the reason for today's jump of SP?
Today Pearson closed at their 52wk low, I’m interested to hear any positivity on the company.
Tia.
Looking good :)
Darren....looks like your portfolio consists of only one share - BP.
