Repsol says in talks to sell Gas Natural stake to CVC https://seekingalpha.com/news/3322146?source=ansh $REPYF, $REPYY

Sorry the market makers took a long lunch and the sp popped up. Normal service will be resumed with a bit of shorting around 1600 ish

http://www.lse.co.uk/sharecast-news-article.asp?ArticleCode=26981983&ArticleHeadline=AstraZeneca_to_press_on_with_tripledose_COPD_drug_after_Kronos_success SP hardly moved!

So if you keep calling Flybe's demise for another two years you might get lucky? Most of us have skin in the game and a strategy, mine is medium term. I thought the drop overdone, bought back in and hope to sell at around 40p based on a safe and profitable summer. Presently slightly down on initial punt.

"The world�s biggest energy companies plan to significantly widen a two-year effort to standardize the kit they use to pump oil and gas, hoping they can deliver significant cost savings, Bloomberg reports. "Standardization could save the oil and gas industry hundreds of millions of dollars every year," BP CEO Bob Dudley says in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The companies plan to expand their list of standardized kit to 40 from the initial four items agreed on when they started their collaboration in 2016, according to the report; the initiative includes BP, Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B), Total (NYSE:TOT), Statoil (NYSE:STO), Repsol (OTCQX:REPYF, OTCQX:REPYY), Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and Saudi Aramco." Many of the above are Plexus customers. Should Pos Grip be adopted by the industry then I would anticipate a re rating or bid. If it is ignored then there is still the small matter of �15 million coming this way soon. Its frustrating to see small sells eroding the price but I feel there is some chance of a double digit return in 2018.

Good luck to those trading for short term gains but I am more optimistic. I prefer to buy on the dips and await a bid because the premium would be substantial. Short term traders might get lucky but many would feel chumps for missing out on perhaps a 40% premium. There is enough science and good news to hold me here for a while yet.

Thanks, some fair points. I would suggest you are a cautious investor while I am more of an adventurous punter so purchased shares over the past two months in the hope of a quicker and larger return. This is of course a higher risk approach, each to their own.

For less than �10k someone could sell/short POS and influence the sp. Unless I see Ben B selling then I am content to hold.

Amerisur has potential but I would like to see the pipeline secured against illegal tapping/interference and higher production figures. DYOR and good luck.

I also liked the FT data which suggest it is trading at below NAV.

In which case it will move off shore? The online global gaming market is huge. If the UK Government over plays its hand WH could sue for damages and move operations. A fudge will be done on FOBT, enough to look good but not �2 either.

Happy to wait and see. Optimistic about the sp in 2018 for reasons posted below.

It is a truly global market. WH has a good brand and a reasonable online presence so I remain optimistic about them and the market is reflecting that in the sp. The fixed odd terminals need to be controlled but given how much tax WH pays I dont see the gov killing the golden goose.

Should there be a similar drop tomorrow I will be buying. I recently took profits but kept a stake and believe WH has a strong future. As is the way with markets I think they over reacted today.

While as small investors there are risks associated with investing in Amerisur there must be larger players looking to see how this region develops. With oil flowing, good reserves and infrastructure issues like pipes and pumping stations being addressed this company and others will be on their "watch" list. While I have no reason to believe a bid is just around the corner there are enough plus points to view AMER as a buy and hold share.

Good for you! Must have been a rocky road at times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Amazon Hi, sniffing around trying to work out if Mothercare will go from Intensive Care via Dignity plc to the graveyard? It did occur to me that the Brand reputation is still such that another retailer might buy MTC but at what price and what odds? I would be interested in your views but try and back them up with data or examples.

I agree it is a long game and uranium miners volatile shares to hold but by way of comfort here is an old article from The Telegraph posted well before BKY was supported by the Oman Sovereign Wealth Fund. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/11/20/uranium-the-unloved-metal-whose-price-is-poised-to-go-radioactiv/
