hi, you aiming to top up at 450p then? must say this share needs some good news to get it going anywhere!

likewise, but then hindsight is great! I just didn't envisage two such savage down days on no news and not particularly big volume. having said that, still plenty of today left to creep back up....does look like the mms want it back down. my average is 169, so was sitting pretty secure on Tuesday - now doesn't look so great. can't see it going down further....surely?! the div was 0.85p, so hardly think that?

Hi, I'm not technically minded to that degree , so would you mind explaining that reference? thanks.

well, possible, but there is no great volume behind it.

I missed something here?! another massive fall today....only need one more day like this and we're effectively where we were after the profits warning a month ago....didn't see this coming

Just taken at DLG's results and they look very impressive to me. I don't know if they have beaten consensus? I hope Esure gets taken up with them and that their results can be equally as impressive. A final divi. Of 12.4p for DLG is very nice too. Am just hoping that Esure don't disappoint the market again.

ah,ok. been in and out of EVR twice (so to speak) - made profits both times, but I wouldn't say that was all down to my immaculate timing! keeping out of EVR until I see some stability. I have owned both BARC and HSBC in the past and both times sold out way too early. Regarding GAW's price - it's just the wide spread , so it looks like the price is going up and down. just not enough volume at present to narrow it.

after such a big rise yesterday - albeit set in the context of a massive drop earlier - a slight fallback today is nothing to worry about . volume is low too and the markets are all down in general today. still feel that this has plenty further to rise yet.

should just point out that it is the interim divi. for Ashmore. not great still, and apologies if you knew this already.

well, I hope we don't perform like Ashmore has done so far today on Thursday! am hoping to see a decent divi - maybe even a special divi this time?

Hi there, remind me which others you hold - I recognise your name from another board. As regards GAW, I don't hold out much hope of a quick recovery, so am just hoping they maintain a reasonable divi in the meantime. Even if it falls to 5odd % that is still far better than on deposit. Hopefully sentiment will change with some good news in the not too distant future and a recovery can start.

down as a negotiated trade sale. guessing the mms want stock...well, that's my view fwiw

like there was a purchase of 100k shares at 410p....should hopefully get it ticking up nicely

oh, yes, I have re-read it. so, that should be a 4.6p div payable in early may. may should actually be very good for me for receiving divis. having said that, one of those is EMG which I wish I didn't have, but am hoping the results will be ok and that they will at least declare a final divi of approx. 4p. sorry for going off topic!

ok, thanks re. CFDs. Still, I don't think they are for me currently. I guess if I had used CFDs for example on my recent purchase of Carclo, I would have been stopped out. however, having averaged down (oh, I know some say never do!) I now hold a decent chunk at a very nice (paper) profit. having said all that, I can still see the appeal of using them for the more experienced trader/investor. re. HYC, I think that the company really does provide a ready made route into some profitable areas going forward, if one of the big consultancy companies really were looking for acquisitions. however, I do think that the price should recover by itself over the next couple of months - at least to the 450-480p range, I would have thought.

well, I hope these brokers are right for once, although plenty are negative. results out on Tuesday - lets hope they aren't too bad. I'm in at an average of 157p, so hoping there are no nasty shocks. if they can meet consensus, maintain a decent divi. and provide clear guidance going forward, then i'll be happy. maybe asking too much, but I don't see myself long term in Ladbrokes, so if I can get a decent 10% I imagine i'll be out.

totally agree with your sentiment. am glad that it appears the last of the big sellers have been cleared. I really think HYC is good value at the current market cap. ok, profits will be lower this year, but it is essentially a well run, growing company. am totally relaxed with my average of 412p. presumably you still have your long cfd open? I only ever buy actual shares, so am rather ignorant of how cfds actually work?

think that a modicum of patience will be rewarded here....famous last words!

Thanks, JD. that was a quickish turnaround, but as we both know these things don't always work out! wishing I had bought quite a few more now, but that's with the benefit of hindsight! looks like your stop is pretty safe anyway.

you managed to sell for 83.1p? I haven't seen the price that high all day?
