I’ll look into that, thank you.

Lost soul / fleccy. I’m not tech savvy! The office is halfway down the garden, about 25 metres from the router in the house.

Hi Aus, I’ve no idea but what I do know is that we are having an office built in the garden at home for my wife who is now working from home. We’ve chosen to have it away from the house so that when you come back to the house you’re away from work, if that makes any sense. It’s wired from a supply in the garage for the electrics and we intend to use ee mobile broadband for internet access. We’ll be paying for two broadband supplies (but it’s cheaper than spending an 1hr each day in the car!)

No but some people, who are having homes offices built, perhaps in the garden or remote to the house may take a second line / Mobile broadband.

To be fair there has been steady buying from several directors since July last year. But yes, it’d be reassuring to see some large purchases.

With the severe share price drop this year could It be do to with off setting Capital Gains (tax)? Just a thought.

Hmm. IPF gets an article in the Business section of Today’s Sunday Times. The article ends by saying ‘with a hefty refinancing looming these are risky. Sell’. Not what I would like to see printed in a national paper about IPF!

Sorry Drawdown, I see what you’re saying now. Well, I still hope his presence will be the beginning of a turn around. As a private investor I use Stockopedia (and previously REFS) because you get forecast eps, divi, divi cover etc. My gripe with Babs is that they have become a ‘jam tomorrow’ company. The forecasts figures look good (undervalued company) but come results day they fail to meet their own targets, mingle in a bit of bad news, like a write down, and round we go. Can you believe that this share was £10 four years ago ?!? And I’ve become very suspicious of why they didn’t want to engage with Serco... Is it because they didn’t want to open the book up for everyone to scrutinise?

Believe that the ceo was already up for retirement - announced last year I believe. But yes, this share is a dog and seeing as the ceo has been at the helm for this woeful performance I say ‘good riddance’. This is the guy who, when Serco approached them around 18 months regarding a merger he said no because it undervalued the company. Well the shares were around £4.80 then...

Well if IMB keeps climbing I’m happy! I never thought that it would fall this low so I’m relieved to see it recovering some ground.

Is it due to the weakening pound? Just a guess but possibly.

Does this share ever deliver any good news?!?!? This has turned out to be one of my worse investments. I feel for the guys who got in 3/4 yrs ago when the price was about a tenner a share. Who’d have thought that it would’ve dropped to these levels.

I think the tick up is from the new broker price target which is £1.60 per share, revised up from £1.30.

Which rival company are you referring to Messi?

I’m in two minds as to whether to add to my holding and average down. According to Stockopedia this is trading on a forward pe of 5.8 (off the top of my head). Thus implies are strong rebound in profits which is perhaps why we’ve seen big director buys. Personally, with travel still muted this seems odd, hence me being in two minds to buy or not.

I’m here too Fuse but I don’t know what to say! Up 0.05p one day, down 0.05p the next, like many shares at the moment, from the ftse100 to Aim it seems to just stagnate.

That’s it’s historical pe. The forwards pe is in the single figures although this is only based on a a range of broker estimates. The results will give us a definite answer.

I found the previous article about Playtech on the web this afternoon. Regards

Market report: Takeover buzz makes City spin the wheel on Playtech
Casinos were finally allowed to reopen from lockdown at the weekend, and betting was on the brain for many on Monday. Investors decided to take a punt on the prospect of gaming company Playtech becoming a takeover target.
In a trading session with limited blockbuster news, the City latched onto a weekend interview with Jason Ader, a shareholder in Playtech, the world's largest online gaming software supplier.
Ader is a former industry analyst who sat on the board of casino developer Las Vegas Sands.
He thinks DraftKings, a US online gambling company that on Friday posted a steeper than expected loss, should look at acquiring Playtech which recorded underlying profits of €383 million for 2019.
Ader said: "They should be making a stock-for-stock deal with Playtech... If I were on their board, that's what I'd be saying."
Shares in Playtech, which declined to comment, reached 367p in early trading before settling back, up 3.5p to 357.3p

Hi all. I pasted the previous message from Citywire which I received today
