Out of date
The thing is, in the stock market, everything we know is out of date, past its sell by date. It may appear to be new news, but it’s old and stale. Most have left the room long before. There is no such thing as timing the market. A huge business sprang up analysing charts, resistance and support points, candlesticks, head and shoulders, golden crosses and the rest of it. Books like Stock market for Dummies. FFS. I’m a dummy. I’ll buy that book and start ‘investing’ in the market. Buy a thousand worth of stock with a CFD and I only have to put up a hundred quid. A day later, bang goes your hundred quid. Blimey, I really am a dummy.
Not timed as well as me I got in at £102:~(
Sid Nosher from Barking : I ad the LTG burger and it was effing good. going back for more. I recon everyone shud .
Alf Gristler from Repton: It’z not for me. To much garnish onit.
Take your pick.
Night few at 79 today.....good timing ??
Will this creep up before results or shoot up on results.
Only one short still going
To a degree your correct, however I do not influence a massive audience like the media. Do not allow the media to brain wash you, not everything you read is true ;)
Morning Methuselah) ! I like your comment and good timing. Of course we re all right and wrong in some way! I continue to buy into this value market , Not adding LTG as I ve had bad experience else where , where the shorters are lurking. ... ( by the way is Melthuselah a lost tribe of Isreal ?)...
George, you are the media as well , you know. These sites are the media.
You have read too much into the media world of what the media want 'us' to believe. Wait until the final decisions and you will see their will be NO impact in the long run. It will bounce up and down under 'media bullshit' then continue to grow..
George ...Like most of my stocks we are thinking of 2018 highs. But this is 2019 and macro events have taken over...Trump Congress budget impasse..Us China trade conflict ..Eurozone slow down and of course Brexit. Funds have had their worst quarter since 2008 We are at the stage were anything could happen..... A recovery or a savage world stock tumble..
LTG has made more profit than expected. My average share price is 82p, I see this stock sitting around 130p in the next few months .
Tony ...I understand your annoyance but the arguments put forward are not lunacy. Some holders looking to off load do so when it looks that the shares cannot rise further in the short term. As a general rule share prices at any given time include all known future events in their price. So the rise of LTG well before official results day. That's why shares more often rise or fall when there are no public announcements or news. So if you spot a good company with good past figures buy then don't wait for RNS news....that's the best way to beat the market. The market as a whole will come around to your thinking.....eventually. "plough your own farrow"....?....you may find that the best companies have the very quietest bulletin boards too.....

Tony, you seem to be overly upset with my comment. I was just trying to put lunacy into some sort of context or to offer an explanation as to apparent lunatic behaviour. Some have suggested now that the sell off is a direct result of the Pat Valerie collapse. Funds are off loading anything in profit to cover their losses. Maybe. In that case, we shouldn’t worry, it’s got nothing to do with the health of LTG.
Someone is very desperate to get rid of the shares. I wonder if it reaches the recent dip of 65.4p. I've set a buy order at 66 for 500 shares to find out.
I'll start to worry when it goes below 70p but not too much. Bought it for a long time.
Good top up opportunity when it turns...
Why do people like you always have an answer for sheer lunacy?
So if the results were bad, we would now be looking at at 75pc sp drop?
What a load of bull****
Share price drops are quite common on publication of good results. After all, if you want to sell part, or all of your holding in a company, you need a market to sell into. Good results create that market and you will probably sell for the price you expected. Imagine if the figures had been awful. You’d never be able to sell at the price you had in mind. I think LTG are a well run outfit and I hold their shares. Two slight worries, and I mentioned them a while back, is the issuing of new shares and the rate of acquisitions. I suppose they go hand in hand. This makes the upside really good and the downside really bad. Bit like leverage, I suppose.
Totally agree tony. Think they are a bit unlucky to release news on same day as trade/growth fears. Don't understand over 10% drop though on mainly "ahead of ecpectations"...
Well well... market shenanigans never cease to amaze... early climb then plummet 10pc on great results.
Russian roulette...place your bets.
This is a great company. Shame the shorters have taken over.
