have to admit, that's a stronger bounce than i was expecting

that is a pretty big list, one thing it doesn't tell you though, is the SP at the time of the short, that would be interesting, to see where these guys thought a down turn was likely, as a number of that list are over 6-7 months old as it were

havent traded it, but as soon as i'm back in the blue i am regardless of divi state, it falls too much through the divi and then takes the full year to recover

dare i say it? it looks like it may have found its support level

i have a limit buy in at 474, but to be honest i'd also be happy with 488

i hope your right andrew, because not withstanding my departure from RMG at 598 (albeit about 4 days early) my decisions lately have sucked and my portfolio is taking a kicking and is resembling a ski jump ramp and landing zone !!

if your anywhere near right with those figures, i would do very well not buying back in until after the ex-divi, and would covered the divi loss of it quite nicely

to be fair, i wasn't expecting to hold this one anywhere near as long as i have, i had a fairly low target of 2.5p, believing the meat as it were was a long way off, i just mis-timed my buy in that put me in the red for a long time, to the point where the main news/action is much closer

thank you andrew, i'm slightly kicking myself as i could have sold on the 1.9 spike, got a small profit and then got back in at a lower than current average (and more comfortable level i might add) but missed that chance due to the speed of the climb and retrace. so obviously i'm now questioning whether this might be a pattern we see, and if i should move quicker next time.... but knowing my luck it would result in me selling early in a sustained rise !

don't get me wrong, with an eye on the long term, i think this will recover nicely, 630 was as someone said "too fluffy" a price and it fell from that, did it deserve to fall from that given the news in the results alone, no, we all know that that specific market place is fluid, and challenging, and competitive, with their pensions thing mostly out of the way now it's time to move forward, planning for and covering the expected decline in letter volumes. SLA buying loads currently should indeed indicate support from institutional investors, however given its FSTE100 index status, the main funds have to hold it right ? granted they don't have to hold 5% ! but for them to be hoovering up that volume there is likely as many sellers balancing things out. I made a tidy profit off this initially, not as much as i could have done had i traded it more, or held for that little bit longer, btut i'm happy with my gain, just as i am happy to buy back in for a good divi, but, i'm wary that i could potentially buy back in after the ex-divi date for a greatly increased discount if this fails to recover sufficiently between now and then

... on the sidelines right now, watching with interest. I have a limit buy in place just in case we have one of those spikes down before bouncing back up very shortly afterwards, but i doubt it'll trigger. I'm currently thinking this may well dip sub 500, if that happens, then things will get interesting, and my trigger finger will be twitching over the buy button! I see 500 as a bit of a psychological price point, and the question for me is will it see support there, or be a bit like the flood gates opening to see a dip into the 480's ? either way i haven't forgotten about this one, as i always planned to buy back in, but i will admit however to being a little apprehensive about the potential ex-divi drop off, having watched this current drop on negligible news

i have to admit is very disappointing, absolutely no support for the rise after the news :(

SP in the toilet, but Directors were awarded healthy option deals

hahaha, i know what you mean, i'm still kicking myself for something the other day, watched one of my shares spike on news, i went from -�500 to +�700 thought about selling immediately as i'd been in the red for a while with them, went and read the RNS that caused the spike, and by the time i'd read it, i was back in the red, and now back to -$400.... FFS i could have had a quick 700 in my pocket and still bought back more shares than i had ! As for this one, time will tell if i can get back in at a nice point to supplement the profit i made on iniital sale.

After watching last week, after i sold before the results, and trying to work out where to buy back in at, i decided to sit on my hands, which would appear to have been the right move. how much of a right move, i guess will depend on how greedy i am and the SP i buy back in at, i'm thinking in the region of 488, it fell through my first two initial targets fairly swiftly which was a little disconcerting, only time will tell if it will reach the 488 point. What i am hoping for is if i can set a limit buy at that, and like today we see a large variation intraday swing, and i catch it in the trough to watch it then recover back some before close. That said, the long weekend could give people time to reconsider their positions and the SP could easily stabilse next week, especially as we don't really know what caused the drop

.... affect of tanking the deal completely, where does it leave us, if we're not sourcing anything from US companies ? will the contract simply end up shelved for the foreseeable ?

yeah, most of it i like, and the market has opened with what appears to be good support for the SP which i am glad to see, and was what i was hoping for. I think exiting the ferry fiasco cost more than expected and we're still supporting the terminal side of the business, hopefully that'll do enough to cover it's costs, cause it's never going to be a big profit earner, just the other floating turd to get rid of now

lots of things in the results, but i did find these a bit interesting... Firstly, "Due, in part, to the confidential nature of such projects and commercial sensitivity, we are no longer announcing any individual MoU when signed and we will update the market on material developments as appropriate and in accordance with our regulatory responsibilities" so no more news on potential contracts etc, leaving us pretty much in the dark on things being worked on, and thus no need to update on progress :( and Secondly, when discussing the main Iran contract, this was mentioned (and also referenced again later saying they were "working towards it") "....it is only one of a number of significant project opportunities we are pursuing around the world and we are well placed to sign at least one other long term Managed Services contract during 2018, although with projects of this scale and complexity there can never be certainty of outcome or timing." so there's another long term contract in the offing, that's passed the MOU stage and probably the LOI stage as well, both updates that could have been used to stabilise the SP through it's downward drift we saw not too long ago

....there is something in the results/RNS tomorrow to stabilise the share price, i'm not looking for anything to set a fire under it, just wanting nothing in it that could be used to beat it with a big stick and push it sub 10p

I did excatly the same as you last year, and am still holding, and in all that time i think i've been out of the red once
