Graphs look bullish - crossed over the 250 MAVG , s.p. held 400p level very easily and now kicking on The similarities to the graph just prior to Skrill acqn are uncanny - sp had first fallen below the 50 day MAVG and then the 200MAVG before staging a recovey back over the 50 and 200 MAVG. Then acquisition announced on date of publication of YE results ( 2014 published 17 March 2015) and sp rockets by 50% - with just 3 wks left publication of results for 2016 on 7 March and bold M&A in the pipeline - promising days ahead. GLA
And the share buy backs are getting smaller. 1.7m shares traded today
That would be a nightmare for shorters. They must consider their positions now
There's a possibility for SP close above 400 today
Reasonable volumes so far and it might just close above 400 today. Fingers crossed. GS
Look at the price on this post. 0.1p short of £4. Lol
It's knocked on the door 3 times, should open now!
possibly might do it yet when US market opens - it staged a v strong re-trace upwards this morning - so looks positive.
It's trying so hard to break 400
Positive start to 2017 legislation http://www.onlinepokerreport.com/23787/wolf-budget-pa-online-gambling/
https://www.emarketer.com/Article/Worldwide-Retail-Ecommerce-Sales-Will-Reach-1915-Trillion-This-Year/1014369 A dedicated CMO with relevant industry experience - perhaps the final piece in the jigsaw to a JV announcement ? 4 Weeks today to 7th March - not long to wait
sign. More patience may be required. GLA
It would be nice but I think it will be resistance for a while... glad to be wrong...
The first few days of next week will tell alot - I have a good feeling .... Bollinger bands tightening nicely IMHO and looking nicely poised to break through the 200 MAVG and kick on !! The fact that we have had 2 +3% days in last week gives me feeling that perhaps we are coming to the end of the "profit takers" post the debacle of mid dec. Only 4 weeks from next Tuesday to 2016YE publ and possibly some news.... UBS initating coverage with a 465p target ( I suspect that will climb on publication of 2016 numbers) will add further to the sense that sp direction is now firmly north - perhaps UBS coverage will add some additional ii's GLA
It touched 400 briefly. All looking good
You can never say never but...... RBS sold worldpay less than a decade ago ( couldn't innovate quick enough) and this chap I am guessing found that the words "banking and Innovation" pose significant execution challenges, What is interesting is he is a non exec in Paddy Power/Betfair - so he knows all about online gambling and digital wallets I am sure.
It Is interesting that Worldpay (WPG) have appointed Peter Jackson as its new chief executive officer, as he joins from Spanish banking group Banco Santander. As I was saying yesterday, banks must be looking with envy at these growing internet payment companies as their own "cash-based" business contracts by the day. Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.
The skill comes in choosing the right company to invest/trade in. The skill also comes in choosing when to invest/trade in your chosen company and especially when to sell. Everything else is luck!!!
Richie Benaud said that cricket captaincy was 90% luck and 10% skill....but don't even think of doing it without the skill. Similar here...don't commit cash without doing your own research
@moorhey - at these levels i wouldn't diagree that PAYS sits firmly in the crosshairs - it would be hugely earnings accretive to someone like worldpay; wirecard or ingenico who all trade on forward PE of 15-25+ in regards PAYS pulling the trigger - well with the right real then it moves them one step closer to getting themselves in the rearview mirror of the likes of PAYPAL( who as we know trade on a PE of 30+ to our 10) - but PAYS needs diversification of client and sector to get proper recognition and re-rated to a higher PE - a deal where PAYS acquires someone who will accelerate their target market customers out into the wider digital economy using PAYS platform and perhaps the GOLO model. So IMHO whether PAYS is taken over; Merged or Acquires I think we are in a win-win situation given current sp - as all three scenarios will increase value.
I see PAYS more as a target than a sniper. I'm not sure who PAYS could acquire and incorporate such that it would enhance the business. What we could see is a merger but again, who with? However, there must be half-a-dozen banks and finance houses that see PAYS as a tremendous (and cheap) opportunity to leapfrog into, or refresh their own card/payment arms. If Tesco can buy Booker for £3.70 billion, then PAYS has to be in someone's sights.
