"anybody know any reasons for the good price rise on lad today ?" ====================== LuckySP, re your question yesterday: sorry for delay but I've been busy otherwise & only got involved with LAD for short-term trade. But probably of interest to L/T LAD holders & one factor for recent SP rise: LAD's bonds issued on 27th. http://www.twst.com/update/61479-ladbrokes-plc-launch-of-bond-issue Saw it on Google 2 days back. Hope this continues to do well for L/T holders & good to see any stock defy some recently bearish broker targets. My business here is done until at least a retrace. Catch up later. Cheers & GL.
Reasons: S/T target 150+ reached on remaining 50%. My only slight surprise is how quickly it got there. Despite busy summer sporting-fest ahead, there's increasing competition amongst bookmakers, not least online, all vying for hard-pressed punters. Thus, no guarantees re increasing company profits, nor that this won't retrace some later. Whatever happens next & it may well go much higher (today's high so far, 152.90), my profits booked, so can't complain. GLA.
anybody know any reasons for the good price rise on lad today ?
Ive been looking at alternatives to betfair and feel the disenchanted punters are crying out for an alternative. Admittedly I havent got too far in my research but now I know betdaq is part of Ladbrokes id be interested to know your opinions. Can Ladbrokes get the liquidity in tothis site?
Long_haul, thanks. FWIW, I know the feeling well - for eg. not buying back EVR at 50+. Frankly, I'm average at this game. Just good enough for 1 of 2 accounts to be well in profit (my SB account still down). I watch about 30 FTSE stocks, but only trade a few at a time. Prefer good divi-payers whose SPs are well down from year highs, as long as underlying fundamentals suggest recovery likely. I avoid buying close to recent highs, no matter how bullish others are. Too risky to get trapped at relative highs. - I also like stocks with decent daily volume. Latter less prone to dodgy market moves, as we often see, for eg., with AIM stocks. I prefer buying propers shares for longer-term hold as mistakes are far fewer. With real shares, I buy only what I can afford. I never set stops with latter as if I thought it necessary, maybe I shouldn't be buying that stock in the first place. With leverage, I've previously over-traded & over-staked. Used to trade indices too (Dow, et al), but lost thousands. No more indices for me, ever again. In recent months I've been in EMG, BARC, RSA, EVR. Overall, done okay, no more. MRW's my current L/T biggie (good divi payer at 8 year lows). But will take profits higher up. When I exit MRW, I'll probably size up BARC for another L/T position, esp when all litigation issues there are finally settled. I also make badly mistimed calls. Going back to EVR (Russian miner): Call was okay if only I'd prepared to absorb massive paper losses. But my buys were mistimed & leveraged, so I'd set stops due to risk of crisis in Ukraine escalating. I got stopped out, only to see EVR recover well soon after. I try to post live trades with reasons on other forums too, like BARC on iii, as sometimes no time to share all on LSE. Mostly I use my comments as a personal diary, so it includes my mistakes as well as my better calls. We all need some luck, not least I. - Hope TCG continues recovering well for you. All the best!
Mate I can't even bear to watch this carry on rising today, was so close to going in on this one same time as you! Oh well, just been whingeing on BPTY about my terrible week of missed opportunities haha : p Excellent buy on your part and would have also sold out at this level. I'm fairly new here and not seen you on any other boards yet jack, what sort of stocks do you tend to look at?
Sold 50% only due to speed & strength of rise here. Not sure we won't see further dips before next significant leg up. As this was intended S/T, booking some decent quick profits avoids major regrets wherever SP goes next. Excellent day so far for LAD holders. :o) GLA.
Long_haul, thanks. Market always provides new opps; just a case of identifying them. For eg. buying on any dip here could still be fruitful. Most of us catching lows only do so rarely, by pure luck. That certainly applies to me. For eg., I hold MRW at 209.57 & 197.40. Though generous divi of 9.16p already booked & SP since recovered a bit, that dipped to 184+ on Ex DD soon after I bought, before bouncing back. So much for catching lows. :o) FWIW, still hold MRW for L/T, probably until at least 230+ gap filled, which could be months away. - Position in LAD intended more short-term. All the best with TCG! Pleased that you're seeing a decent bounce there today. Off out a while.
Good start to the day here (not for me as I missed yesterdays lows!). Ended up averaging down in TCG yesterday so didn't have anything available to put into LAD. That buy at 130 looking very good so far though jack!
Just mins ago, 137.10, with volume looking okay. Fading a bit now, as nothing goes up in an unbroken straight line for too long, but no obvious reason why this can't see at least 140+ fairly soon. Higher later. Only my opinion. GLA. - Catch up later.
The success of the World Cup depends on completion of the remaining platform, product and capability upgrades, notably single wallet which LAD have previously claimed will deliver tangible benefits from the World Cup onwards, so long as Playtech deliver.
Fernbank, hopefully we've timed our buys about right. Probably a bit too early to call a double-bottom reversal, but agree in anticipating a VG recovery here later for reasons stated. GL.
I think LAD will see some good recovery over the next few weeks/months. Wimbledon, Ascot, World Cup all going to help, particularly the latter. Took a nice long position at 130 as it seems to bounce of this level consistently.
Thanks & agreed. Valid concerns re failing to hold support at year lows. The more it tests that low, the more chance it may go. I see some here think it may even fall to circa 100 later. Maybe? Of course none of us knows for sure (I certainly don't), not even brokers. We can only deduce from info available. If support breaks, I'd only add once more due to anticipated boost to inflows over summer. But for me, worse-case scenario is my stop. FWIW, only use them with leveraged trades. Quite unlike my L/T positions with proper shares, such as MRW, where I'd hold for higher targets well into 2015 if need be. Looks like we'll be retesting those year lows again soon. But I'm not too concerned by intraday lows. Closing SP counts more. ATB.
Thanks for running through your reasoning jack. Interesting read and I would agree with most of your thinking. Still haven't bought in myself yet but watching very closely and will do so at some point, likely soon. My only concern is how it'll react if it tests/ breaks the 52 week low. Certainly looks an attractive price atm though and I like the way this has been bouncing off it's lows the last 6 months
Earlier, SP revisited near 12-month lows, sub 130. Looking for double bottom reversal, buoyed by anticipated extra profits from big summer sport events. However, also prepared for further a dip before then, in which case may add once more in the 120s. Won't get too attached. Target circa 150+ (recent highs) & then I sell. This a spread bet. As my call may be mistaken, stop loss at 119. GLA.
All bookies will make money on World Cup due to the spread of betting. Even if one of the favorites .. Brazil, argentina, Germany or Spain win the bookies will still clean up. Any other team wins then it it's boom time. The thing that ladbrokers need to ensure is that they get maximum market share through good prices and novelty bets etc. They seem to have a major marketing initiative going on just now so time will tell
I'll settle for their revised rating 1,120 all day long
Any dip to circa 129 might tempt me for a mid-term hold over summer. SP might have business revisiting 12 month intraday low at 128.30 from mid-April (closing low 129.20). Where the bottom lies here never an easy call, so always an element of gamble. GLA.
Really hope your opinion is wrong. The hope is betting on the world cup will see LAD rise significantly. Goldman Sachs have issued a 'sell' recommendation today which is what I'd put the further decrease down to. But these 'professional' guys get it wrong so often...Even their target is 120.00 which is more optimistic than your forecast. Footfall at the offices and on line betting over the next 2 months will determine whether our gamble has paid off. GLA
poor sentiment, coupled with elements of what caused the drop from £1.80 ish.
What can you see causing a drop of that magnitude?
can see it happening.
Well it's at the 135 level I mentioned last week. Not bought back in yet but keeping a close eye and probably will do soon - looking for a slightly quicker turnaround than hoss so cautious of pre-empting any further falls. Gerry I'll buy anything of FTSE size that's struggling and has some historic volatility in the sp, just buying to keep me busy and try to catch some bounces really! : )
