There is much more to Game than retail stores alone. They know this: "We are on a journey to build a company which, through a combination of multichannel retail, live gaming and digital services delivers a unique and compelling proposition for gamers – offering the ability to discover, buy, socialise, play, watch and compete in both physical locations and virtually." If they can profitably deliver on their vision then the share price will rise. Simples!

Lots of interest in this one, as the bidders battle it out. 224.75p at the close, and it seems there's more to come. If you have shares, hold you nerve. #hold

Sand Grove Capital Management with 3.71% of Lavendon's equity also bought CFDs yesterday covering approx. 1m shares. They expect the price to rise.

Making good ground. Next target 102p

The RNS show Loxam , through Duetsche Bank, are buying shares at about 218p, but are covering themselves with Swaps as well in case the bid goes sour and the price falls. As the ask is now 222p I'm expecting more upside.

I see 2 things that will lead to lower prices. One is a stronger dollar that depresses performance in emerging markets and two, share buybacks are used as a tool to prop up a share price, when in fact a company should be using its cash to invest, make profits and then see the share price rise. #hold

1.3m shares traded today. That's very mch above the normal volumes. Something is going on but the price has not shifted too much this week and still remains near the bottom of its latest down trend range. For me it's no a buy just yet, but some must be loading up in advance. #wait

Looks bullish to me but I can't see reasons for a big breakout to the upside except from a big event, which would have to be a bid. Any comments please?

TVH have 16.9% of the shares and at 205p their bid looks weak, especially when the market price is approx. 11p more and there's another bidder. Their "final" offer is not final as they have left themselves leg room to increase it. So, the ball is firmly in their court.

Apologies. I was using a Reuters report from this morning. I should have quoted the source. Lesson learnt: I got caught up in the trading mayhem.

Oil up approx. 5-6% after OPEC agree cut in production.

I'm not sure, but are speculators still involved in buying the shares to capture more profit? e.g. yesterday a group of Halycon companies increased their long position by buying 50k shares at 2.1725.

Mick, I'm in the same camp, and agree with the chart and fundamentals. #bullish

Future Director James Hanbury, who bought 110k shares on 25th Nov, will be a happy bunny as today his profit will 15% on his recent investment.

It's broken its 200 EMA on 28th and went up again today. I think as punters digest their very positive results they are piling in. Needs to break 12p to make the real breakout.

My opinion: Flag pattern forming on Randgold. Low RSI and negative MACD, plus a death cross as the 50EMA has just crossed the 200EMA. #bearish and not a time to buy unless there's bullish confirmation.

The shares ended the day at 42p on the first day of the profit warning. Then sunk to a low of 22p since then. I don't know why but Crawshaw is being punished by the market for its trading position. Unless it can turn it around the share price will still range at these lower levels. Statements like this are not a good enough reason to buy, "The LFL sales performance of the Group has improved from -15.8% for the first 7 weeks of H2 to -8.1% for the 4 weeks ended 27 November 2016..."

My Monday whinge, and why the stock market sometime seems it's against you: The Buy price on BRCI often moves 2-3%, but the sell price usually does not match it.

An explanation of today's fall from Reuters, "Sticking with financial services, Man Group fell as much as 5 percent after the stock was downgraded by Exane BNP Paribas."

There was buying at 195p last week and they'll be happy today; maybe a bidding war? How high will it go?
