Following the volatility of the past year there might be an interesting spreadbet opportunity if there is a spike up of 20p plus or so in the next week to 165 area, or less likely down to the 130 area taking it below support? Is anyone else trading PDL up and down?
"It can remain irrational longer than we can remain solvent." I try to follow it more than understand it.

Alton Towers theme park will remain closed on Wednesday as an investigation takes place into an incident on a rollercoaster in which four people were seriously injured and left stranded for hours along with a dozen other passengers.
16 trapped and four guests seriously bloodied as Smiler ride carriages collide Two carriages have crashed into each other on a ride at Alton Towers, and emergency services are working to evacuate 16 trapped park guests. Park officials confirmed four people were seriously injured and that the fire service and paramedics, including an air ambulance, had been called to the scene. A spokesperson for Alton Towers said there were 16 people involved in the incident "on a low section of the track", which occurred between a full carriage and one that was empty. West Midlands Ambulance Service said it was trying to assess all those on board the ride. In a statement, it said that the four serious casualties were teenagers, two females and two males, and that they had suffered serious leg injuries. "A platform has been build up in order for emergency services to reach the occupants on the ride who are approximately 25 feet up in the air at an angle of about 45 degrees," a spokeswoman said. "Our paramedics, doctors, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service and Alton Towers’ rope rescue staff are working at height to carefully release and treat the four seriously injured teenagers." A witness on the scene visiting the theme park, Danny Simm, said there was "blood everywhere". Mr Simm told The Independent: "A few people appeared to be injured but one man looked serious. Out of respect I didn't take any photographs. "An air ambulance arrived after 25 minutes. It wasn't handled well by Alton Towers staff." Mr Simm said park guests remained trapped on the ride. An ambulance service spokeswoman said: "Staff and medics are working quickly with resort staff to gain access to the seriously injured."
Ok, thanks! QP. is volatile today comparatively. Keeping hold of shares but glad I got out of my SB at 155
Has the share price been diluted by additional share release to existing shareholders? Can someone interpret the below release? "Quantum Pharma Plc (AIM: QP.), a service-led niche pharmaceutical manufacturer, developer and supplier to the health and care sectors, has been informed today that LDC (Managers) Limited ("LDC"), acting as investment manager on behalf of Lloyds Development Capital (Holdings) Limited, OBS 2009 LP and LDC Opportunity Club 2009, has sold an aggregate of 8,800,000 ordinary shares today representing c.7.04 per cent. of the total number of voting rights in the Group (the "Transaction"). Zeus Capital has given its consent to release these shares from the lock-in agreed at the time of the Group's Admission to AIM due to the high level of institutional demand for Quantum's shares following the Group's recent annual results announcement. The ordinary shares have been successfully placed today by Zeus Capital to a small number of existing shareholders. Following the Transaction, the funds managed by LDC continue to hold a non-discloseable interest in the ordinary shares and the total voting rights in Quantum. These shares remain subject to a lock-in which expires on 11 June 2015. Andrew Scaife, CEO of Quantum Pharma, commented: "Following strong demand from institutional investors at the time of the Group's final results roadshow in late May, we are pleased that, working in conjunction with our broker, we have been able to successfully satisfy this demand through the desire of LDC to reduce their holding to below 3%. "LDC have played a pivotal role in the development of the Group since the MBO in 2009 and the Board joins me in thanking them for their support over the last six years. We welcome our new shareholders as we continue to make solid progress with our strategy as a quoted company."
Good find, thanks for posting it. Should be a nice rise on Monday if QP. has been tipped in the FT. Glad I took out a £70 long per penny spreadbet on this a few weeks ago to suppliment my ISA share buys.
Nearly wiped out its net debt, tripled its operating profit and a 25p dividend in the pipeline. Liftoff!
Why sell when it keeps rising? Trailing stops are wonderful things :D
Decided to get out early at 175. £110 a point spreadbet. Nice :) Might short it on the way down if it stays in the range its been repeating for the better part of the past year.
