I was thinking that. It's taken the fierceness out of the retrace already. The RNS is having none of the weekend's media gloom whatsoever.
Well done to the company for issuing a calming RNS. http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=PHTM&ArticleCode=cyb6xxqk&ArticleHeadline=Share_price_movement
It's official I've ordered in my last Chinese or Indian family meal. I've just realised I could make it myself and save a fortune. Thanks Sunday newspapers for putting the idea into my head I'll add the savings I make from dinner to the fiver I save when sending a selfie in every ten years for a new passport. D.
The PLC has a trading update next month. The recent results were good. On DL stuff, the plc has an important contract with the Frencg Gov(ANTS) to process 3D driving licenses from its booths. Also Irish Gov. German regions looking at it too. All about homeland security. Taking a pic on your mobile,however smart is not something any Gov will want. Security is the issue and remember the EU zone has ID cards. We do too, called a Drivers license.
...the new government rules easing the use of passport photos by mobile phone were introduced last year. The Times, Mirror etc., all reporting on this change only this weekend, here's the link to the one by Mail On Sunday: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4144232/amp/New-rules-let-travellers-use-phone-photos-passports.html
If I had more funds I'd defo be topping up!!
Uk and Ireland is 20% of the business .Within that a mixture of photo booths, asda photo shops, the Amusements outside shops. Rapid expansion in other areas more than handle any impact the Passport photo may have in UK. The fall is assuming a complete collapse of the all the UK and Ireland business. When in reality impact will be minimal.
CEO wouldn't be buying over 4.9 million shares at around £1.57 if there was a massive threat to sales! Massive buying opportunity and I've just topped up twice.
Check your fingers?? Next few days this will recover but not until the shorters have had their happeth of flesh..
Already heard about this last year. Impact is minimal when considering how many people actually fill in forms compared to doing it online. Other countries??? Big BUY for me!!!
These booths have be in existence for years and a complete rip off as well as monopolistic ! Finally the government & Home office have woken up to another line of untapped revenue ! Leave well alone !!!!
Check your fingers?? Next few days this will recover but not until the shorters have had their happeth of flesh..
I thought 154.5 was a good price....should have waited....damn
Did you take a picture of it?? Once more the shorters have sent this to the dustbin... Will take a bit to once more get ther confidence back. Stop losses triggered (Always after 09.00!!) So you either see this as a buying opportunity or a falling knife.. I think timing but a buying opp beckons..
Seen it all before with other shares. D.
It has been possible to take them on a mobile app for a couple of years. I'm sure there is a PHTM app on the way.
If that is the case I'm sure the company would have known that months ago? Overreaction IMO.
Passport photos can now be done on mobiles.Making booths redundant.
I couldn't believe my luck got in @ 154.5p...had my eyes on these for waiting for an entry point..
does anyone know what has brought this on? the trades look quite small. a lot for 50 shares trades going through.
@jh - very many thanks indeed. That was a real kindness posting the pdf links. Unfortunately I now really have no excuse but to start reading.... hopefully it will help improve the quality of my judgement - if not my posting. GS
Thanks HFWizard. I'll be looking into the Zulu principle. I was disappointed with the original NT book. He offered little on his timing and that seems to be where his edge lies. (Almost) anyone can find a FTSE250 or decent AIM stock with room to appreciate. Knowing where and when to get in and out is the difficult bit.. Given where I think we are in the wider market cycle Nicolas Darvas - How I Made $2,000,000 In the Stock Market could be a timely read. I'm digging my copy out this weekend. I like Marber on Markets. Its a book on TA by a Brit which is unusual in itself. He's been around a long while and a little set in his ways/opinions but he has earned that right. Technically speaking by Chris Wilson. Its a collection of interview with successful traders about the TA they actually use.
Sorry guys can't offer anything in this conversation your knowledge, picking skills and systems are obviously way ahead of anything I could add. D.
jh2704 thanks. i paid a fortune for that book years ago!!! it is a very good book that i have used lots over the years. I too would recommend the jesse livermore stock operator book as a light holiday read. if you really want to get your teeth stuck in then the Murphy technical analysis book is a must either on your holiday or when you are back. Whilst we have some strong PI's on here what are other books you guys recommend? A game changer for me was the zulu principle . . .and later beyond the zulu principle. not a pdf of the book but the amazon link https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Zulu-Principle-Making-Extraordinary-Profits-Ordinary-Shares/075281012X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484904437&sr=1-1&keywords=zulu+principle i am currently reading the naked trader. has anyone read his new one trading like a shark? https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/cka/Trade-Like-Shark-Naked-Trader-eaten-market/0857195425/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484904526&sr=1-1&keywords=trading+like+a+shark
