GL lego, I got lucky and got back in at 80 (bottom) but sold over half at 95. I think we may find it hard to break 100 for a while but it should happen fingers crossed. Will look to rebuy the other half if it dips to sub 90, but I think that may only happen for a short period on a market dip re. Scottish vote or IS doing something horrible

http://www.pokerupdate.com/news/networks-and-rooms/partypoker-nj-servers-freeze-during-garden-state-super-series/ We really are useless at poker. Stars will wipe us off the NJ map, end of.

This looks positive, with the added bonus of maybe keeping Stars out of NJ. http://www.onlinepokerreport.com/13724/christie-ive-spoken-sandoval-cooperating-online-poker/

Saying that, it looks unlikely that my stop will trigger today now anyway.

I agree, but I also want the opportunity to sell early on a dip to buy back as close to a bottom as possible. Bit of a cr&p shoot though.

Put a stop loss of 92.8 for today on 60% of my holding just in case, I hope it doesn't activate but better to be safe!

Is anyone else slightly uneasy about the market’s reaction in the coming 10 days to the Scottish Independence Vote? No material effect on BPTY what so ever but I’m aware that any short term profit could go bye bye quite quickly if panic ensues.

The only caveat to this is geopolitical issues hitting the markets after the weekend. Putin and IS need to leave things be for everyone’s sake, investors and non investors alike. GL

Agreed - what’s interesting is as you say BPTY's exposure is minimal in the UK but 888 last time I looked had about 40% of its revenue here, does not look too good from their point of view. The time has come to rebalance the two companies’ market caps, we were double the size not so long ago. The recent M&A rumours can’t hurt our price either I think. That 100p level I think may hit by mid week in lieu of the X Divi date next Wednesday, after that it will be interesting to see if there is a bit of a selloff in the short term, perhaps a trading opportunity awaits?

Got it.... http://online.wsj.com/articles/permira-sees-888-as-possible-buyout-target-1409757124

888 still going up, now 138, must be a T/O bid rumour.

Ok, the system has now caught up with the trades......

http://data.beaufortsharedealing.com/trades/888/888-Holdings-trades This is showing trades at 133/134 for 888 yet the price is still showing as 126?

888 have just shot up and we are rising too?

Looking like the price is just starting to move now.

I hope we see a RNS confirming the news just to push it home to investors, we're not great at this sort of thing but maybe now it might start happening.

Really good news, thanks for sharing Tipstar. havey I assume you took the view to hold on rather than sell in the end, might be a good call. GL

Don't see too many of these.... http://www.iii.co.uk/stockmarketwire/189499/bwinparty-upgraded-deutsche-bank Buy from Hold and Target up from 100 to 121.
