No idea. Maybe the operator is dead.

So some folk didn't want to risk betting the news is bad.

well no reported increase in shorts from yesterday (over 0.5%).

Is that not that the dude that RS12 you have been posting for 9 months had been rating LOOP a BUY? So, you are saying he was wrong before to lure his readership in and now you think he will be thought right to suggest his readership exit on a loss? Might be me, but not the sort of stock picker most would subscribe to. SC/IC: avoid.

“For many people, the shift to video communications is now permanent,"

compare with NOv 2020 - if i recall there was over 25m shares traded - larger than the free float. which then begged questions.

? There are over 55m shares. today's volume of buys and sells for LOOP: 3,166,818. As JTD said, the MMs and shorts are having you on.

not as if it has gone away. still £120M worth. personally, i'd like a pipeline like that!
7% Q1, from next to 0% Q4, 17% Q2, ........ at the same speed 30% Q3? 42% Q4 - which could be £50M TCV................

*sneezing

before the winter flu jabs start proper. when the heat fades and the sneaking and shivering starts - methinks the corproate squeeky-bums will want more WFH going on.

is about 7% on the day. how much of that is - as we have read posted - folks buying at 51p at 8am, selling at 54p within the hour and then buying back again later for another run. so prob, 5% at best on the day - likely more like 2%. which, does not really represent the shock and horror which some want to convey.

all i can say about BTB is let's just see if he changes his view (or is prepared to admit he was wrong) by New Year.

we can check off all those today.

For those new to BBs,
opposition tactics. include:
1. denounce/deramp/depress/dampen/discourage: emphasise failures; flag ; dispute basis for views;
2. distrust/dispute: silence speaks volumes - non-communication; non-committal; compare with peers
3. distract/duck: introduce irrelevance;
4. divert/re-direct/dodge: introduce other offers; talk up peers;
5. defend/dive/defer/depreciate: personally sold out, will return later;
6. depreciate: explain got better deal

everyone is entitled to their opinion. they can ramp / deramp for all i care.
what i should say, is there were about ten names posting here over the last few months.
None of these day-gurus appeared and offered the exact same statements then.
always on news day. always with shorts at play. rarely on hottest day of the year.

JP Trader has c. 3% - if IanB is to be believed.
That's a fair whack today.

"Please believe me that I have lost more money in LOOP than you have."
on what possible basis, can you make that statement and appear (1) trurstworthy, (2) not a fool.

idea idea I clearly take more of an optimistic view than you after today.
The Market Cap is just 3 times ebit, which is almost unprecedented for this sector.
The company have presented a robust pipeline today that I wasn't previously aware of, so I think they'll grow rapidly in the short-term to better reflect their true valuation, which should be around 13 times ebit really and even 20 is achievable.
Then look at the share price graph and where the trajectory from these positive results could take us. I'll start preparing for the £2 party!

Good evening,
It's not uncommon for valuations in this sector to be at 20x ebit.
Our valuation is about 4 times ebit and I thought this was due to something about to be uncovered perhaps, but that proved to be incorrect.
Acquisitions are rife in this sector and this company will be flashing on many radars right now.
This leads me to question what the appetite is of major shareholders for a sale? Perhaps they want to cream the profits and why not? Whether through a takeover or a natural correction in the share price, I'm extremely confident we'll see £2 soon and I'll continue to build my position in the meantime.
