What do we reckon? Finally pushing into the low 30s in the next fortnight?

Just what is it about this stock that it really struggles to hang onto gains. Looks like every time there's a lift up there's a queue of sellers waiting to knock it back down! Don't they where it's going?

Yeah! Why! The commission will take most of difference out if he holds to 20p. Big risk for not much money. Can't see a counterbidder getting any traction. I'm happy, started buying these at 4p and averaged 7. Result!

I agree with alw51 that this is moving well, though it's not a takeover target yet. Uberoi is pushing the company into a financial services payments firm, which is where the money is. He needs smart technology, added value services, critical mass and several more clients like BBT and B of A. If he's really smart he'll sell small holdings in EPO to some of his bank customers, but without losing control. I see this as a 2-3 year play but moving towards 50+, and paying off debt first. Then we'll see!

Volumes like that are never just done on the system, they are negotiated by the brokers and then reported.It could well have been agreed at the mid price. But it was reported as a buy. That volume may also trigger an RNS -- if an existing + 3% holder bought or sold them then it will be reported. If a new sub 3% holder buys or sells we'll never know!

Never mind the change from one daft name to another - that £3m buy today is an interesting move - someone's got faith in LUP. If the US keeps going and Europe doesn't slide further this should see £2 plus in the next couple of months.

That's a very good start to the year! I'm convinced this is a 30p plus stock, and north of 40 if a dividend is forthcoming. Let's hope the cheap sellers have been finally flushed out and we get some upwards momentum going. Energy prices are only going one way. Looking forward to the next set of results, or at least some comforting RNSs.

I agree with amberjack. I've been a holder of GVC for some time and it has a really good dividend policy. Their growth in online betting has also been very sound so I guess what they are doing here is picking up a big block of new punters for not a lot of money. Anyone who takes the GVC paper option should see higher profits as the GVC press quote at the bottom of the offer document says they are going to keep paying out dividends. GLA.

Wooly I don't know who your mr money is, nor does it matter as I assume at these levels we'll see an rns on the subject. But whoever it is why is anyone selling at 24?

Well that was a sharp correction - inevitable I suppose given the trading update. But there's been some decent buying this afternoon so let's hope that stabilises LUP ready for a long slow climb back over 170. Last week's Fed Reserve 'whatever it takes' announcement should be good for a construction led US recovery - and that's good for LUP. And let's hope the bean counters keep european costs under control.

This stock has been continuously sold off, with barely a buy posted, for two weeks now. Why???!!! Govt's energy bill is being debated Wednesday. Perhaps that will shine a light. (Though that will be a first!)

Good announcement about B of A today. A few more like that and we're away. Some chunky trades being reported too - can anyone confirm the £288k deal was a buy?

Not too sure about the results! Looks like their costs are out of control. But that's a big increase in sales and the October numbers show new gains. But I'm a bit suspicious about these coming out on Thanksgiving Friday. Is someone trying to bury the bad news?

Here we are again : mid 23s. This stock has a remarkable inability to hold onto new levels. What possible reason can sellers have to let this one go at under 25p!!!

I really don't understand this share! The new highs are sharp, thin spikes, and every new high is met with a selloff! But there is a gradual uptrend which is some consolation.

I'm no chartist but check out the 5-year graph and you can see we've tested this level several times - then dropped back. So maybe this time we'll break through? And if the boss is buying at 24.5 then we have to be looking at 30+. This could just be ALK's time!

More buyers than sellers and still it retreats. Any thoughts? We're a good way off 90+ suddenly!

Good luck fellwanderer. I've been in for about four years and still waiting for that breakthrough above 24. Tech-eng is right, a dividend would be good - but given the form of this company unlikely before 2013 year end. Meanwhile no question it's a well run company though their new site rollouts cold be quicker in my view. Given the technology why wouldn't you! But I see this as going north of 30p next year and 40+ once a dividend is declared.

Like everyone I was disappointed by the SEV IPO pullout. But look what's happened since then. No major (i.e. notifiable) investor has dumped. And Argos has increased to over 8 per cent. And I wonder if the SEV IPO decision was caused by uncertainty over the US elections? i.e. If they had formally filed and dated their IPO it would probably have taken place after the US election. If Romney succeeds, (and he looked good when SEV pulled its IPO) the prospects for subsidised electric vehicles are very bad. But if Obama gets in again then SEV is probably OK. So SEV are doing the sensible thing to wait till after the election.

My views? If WKP can keep the dividend yield over 3 p.c. then I can see this hitting 400 in 2013. It's a well run company that seems to know what it's doing. It's a play on an economic recovery supported by smaller firms especially in the South East.
