Hello BT, thought I may hear from you on here today. Yes, a good update for GBG. I am trying not to cry too much over selling out!. But for the odd one which I sold out of too early, despite making a good profit, I have kept hold of at least 3, 4 or maybe 5 real stinkers which I should have sold out of far earlier. Put it down to experience and move on. Yes, I am concerned about the election result and the repercussions. Not sure what to think. Lets hope temporary is short and sweet. We also have "sell in May and go away" syndrome coming up. Do you believe in that or to a degree to you think that investors make it happen by believing in it too much?. I think about it each year yet haven't reduced my investments, then wonder whether I should have since performances do seem to be relatively poor at that time of year. No more nights out in the forest with the dogs. Now have daylight to work with in the evenings, so out on the open fells again with the views and can see as well as hear the furries on their way. Regards CM

Gosh this is a frustrating share!. We can never be sure what is going to happen here with the share price despite what on the face of it are encouraging trading statements. One of those shares that as soon as we sell out it is bound to rise but bob about up and down holding. Probably best taking a longer term view I guess!. Regards CM

Still looking in BT. Glad for you and others that GBG is doing well. 200p now very much in sight. Hope you had a good break with Mrs BT. Sometimes not having internet is good, makes us think of other things. My holdings are generally in the blue, just HAYT and very new holding INL in the red. Had I stayed in GBG then the picture would be a much brighter shade of blue, but hey ho, that's life. Getting late, so will call it a day. Good luck all, and regards CM

Interesting to see Invesco have increased their holding to 29%. Also very interesting to note that Woodford has increased his holding from 14% to 15%., both recorded on 17 April. They must be pretty confident. At what percentage holding does a company have to make an offer for another, is it not 30%?. I always believe in investing into strength, usually meaning averaging up, never down, if I am already invested. However, there has to be a ceiling on what I am prepared to invest in any one stock. The question for me is have I already hit that ceiling and be prepared to enjoy any further ride North without risking more capital?. If a share is worth investing in today then generally it is tomorrow. But maybe just a small top up. Good luck and regards CM

Thanks for the post GD. Looks like I may have misread the RNS. Good to see the share price rise today after the recent retrace. Regards CM

Is the block admission of nearly 5,000,000 shares announced on Wednesday to be admitted to trading on Monday 20 April affecting the share price over the last few days?. It would amount to going on for 9% of shares already in issue, so possibly some share dilution?. Positive side is as you say goldust88, that Hale have increased their stake to over 15%. Any views?. Regards CM

Hello Lacey; gosh, long time no hear on the boards from you. Welcome aboard. I had this one on my radar for a long time, and took the plunge after the last set of results. Although this is my newest holding, it is also one of my oldest in that I bought into it years ago at around 45p then sold out at around 39p when it was on its way down and down. Kyusho - thanks for the post. Good to read I.C are still positive about INL. Regards and good luck all CM

Thanks for the post. You may well be right regarding a good time to top up. I noticed the share price had risen today whereas another of my holdings, QTX, had fallen back. I could switch the funding from Q to R, but there is a divi due for those on the Q register on Friday so I resisted. Come next week though it may be a different story. Regards CM

Just seen Cantor Fitzgerald have given this a target price of 350p. Of interest only - I never take such brokers targets as anything else and not as a reason for investing. Regards CM

Hello BT, good to hear from you, no worries about the lack of content, you have your own life and you have your priorities elsewhere. I hope the difficulties you have mentioned are now in the past and that your life can return to some form of normality. The decline in GBG share price is as much down to the state of the market as anything else. A number of my shares are down today regardless including LTHM which has come out with an optimistic statement. There is a degree of uncertainty at present which is likely to grow the nearer we get to the general election. Also, imo it is quite healthy for there to be a retrace in the market from time to time to build on; and as we both know, shares don't go up in a straight line. You are right regarding the end of the tax year coming up, that is likely to have some bearing on share prices - perhaps a comforting thought - hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it. With the election approaching, I am reminded of a classic Bob Hope quote when he was referring to the presidential election between I think Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, that it wasn't so much voting for the lesser of the two evils, as the evil of the two lessers!. Still makes me laugh!. Heaven help us either way. I shall vote, I always do, but, oh dear................. A Happy Easter to you and yours too BT. I have to work Good Friday and Easter Monday, but do have the Saturday and Easter Day off by pure chance with it being my weekend off in 4. I will probably stay close to home because it will be so busy in the Lakes. Lets hope the weather is good. Regards CM

All 7 boxes. I'll try to expand my previous post when I next have the opportunity. Not a great day for most shares it seems, not just this one. Regards CM

Sorry, wrong link. Try the following: http://www.stockopedia.com/content/small-cap-value-report-19-feb-2015-avap-mjw-inl-prw-92517/ CM

I had hoped for an update from Stockopedia today but to date I haven't seen one. So this one from February will have to do; interesting read nonetheless: http://www.stockopedia.com/content/small-cap-value-report-30-mar-2015-cnks-bvxp-hayt-out-cbuy-eman-ltg-95686/ Regards CM

Yes, agree, it will be exciting. And yes, expect a coalition but of what colour?. Mixing all colours together we do not get white, but a muddy brown (need I say more?). As Bob Hope once said about the U.S presidential elections, Reagan v. Carter ?, it isn't so much a matter of voting for the lesser of the two evils, as the evil of the two lessers!. Regards CM

Thanks for your welcome. I only came across PaulyPilots article very late last night by accident when looking for something else, it wasn't released earlier in his usual small cap value report. On the back of results out today for INL, which were very positive, I invested some funds into the company. Unlike CNKS yesterday, their share price fell back!, bother!, could have/should have added to CNKS instead. Oh well, can't win them all. Regards CM

INL has/had been on one of my watchlists for some considerable time. I had a quick look at the results before heading off for work and looked to invest early before the share price would jump up. I ended up buying in at 67.67p on what appeared to be a likely dip on the back of the RNS, which on the face of it looked extremely positive. So, I was surprised and disappointed to see the share price fall back during the day. Having said that it has not been a good day on the overall market. I could see no negatives in the Chairmans statement (very important) and seemingly pretty much all was positive. So, given time this may well pick up. Lets hope so. Good luck and regards CM

Lets hope the link below works: http://www.stockopedia.com/content/small-cap-value-report-30-mar-2015-cnks-bvxp-hayt-out-cbuy-eman-ltg-95686/ Regards CM Apologies if link does not work

For some reason, I was unaware of the RNS out this morning at 07.00, it was one of many which seemed to slip by LSE. They are usually very good at releasing them on time, so I was disappointed to have missed it before setting off to work. It was only by reading the posts on here earlier that I was aware of the results being out today, although I knew it would be today or tomorrow. Had I read them first thing I may well have topped up, but hey, thats life. I invested here only last Friday, picking up shares for around 185.5p after reading an article on Stockopedia and then doing as much research as I could in very limited time. In fact, I thought I had over invested because my general rule is not to invest the full amount in mind, saving some back to top up if the going gets good and not having invested too much if the going gets bad. I suffered from what I call heavy finger syndrome where my finger has a mind of its own and the button gets pushed too readily. However, in this case it might have made the right decision. Very encouraging set of results on first glance - still haven't had the time to digest them. And a super dividend to come too come end of May. No rush to top up, and in my case averaging up (I prefer to invest into strength) and not average down (investing into weakness on hope that things will pick up). Time to do more research. Good luck all and regards CM

Thanks for the post BCCS, interesting. Perhaps I should try to top up a little first thing tomorrow, for a 3rd. time. Regards and good luck CM
