Waiting to see some upward movement in sp before buying anymore! The 4 analysts offering 12 month price targets for The Parkmead Group plc have a median target of 75.50, with a high estimate of 111.00 and a low estimate of 35.00. The median estimate represents a 120.44% increase from the last price of 34.25.

The RNS is further cause for optimism and sp up on the news.

I purchased some more this morning because the FT tearsheet is very positive and while they could do with a bit more working cash they have no debt. I tend to be a contrarian and invest in companies or sectors that are out of favour, with low debt and a decent asset base. "As of Dec 09, 2017, the consensus forecast amongst 8 polled investment analysts covering Amerisur Resources plc advises that the company will outperform the market. This has been the consensus forecast since the sentiment of investment analysts improved on Mar 31, 2016. The previous consensus forecast advised investors to hold their position in Amerisur Resources plc."

Any views?

Bid news this morning from GVC which is nice because I hold them too but I remain a supporter of 888. This company will reward the patient imo.

Deal done! http://www.lse.co.uk/sharecast-news-article.asp?ArticleCode=26796287&ArticleHeadline=William_Hill_settles_NYX_dispute

Korea Electric Power Corp has reached a provisional agreement to buy the Toshiba subsidiary that is planning to build a multibillion-dollar British nuclear power station. The South Korean utility saw off competition from CGN of China to become the preferred bidder for Toshiba’s NuGen unit, which is behind the Moorside nuclear project in Cumbria, north-west England. Acquisition of NuGen would open a new front in Kepco’s efforts to become a force in the international nuclear industry as it enters the final stages of its first overseas project — a $20bn reactor building programme in the United Arab Emirates.

"The U.S. Supreme Court seems to be leaning toward allowing states to decide if the want legalized sports gambling. The high court is taking up a case today on New Jersey's effort to repeal a federal ban on sports gambling. Bloomberg reports that swing vote Justice Anthony Kennedy is questioning if the federal ban should stand. A final SCOTUS decision is expected by the end of June. By some estimates, up to 32 states would legalize sports betting within five years if the Supreme Court rules favorably."

A US-based life sciences investment fund is planning to invest up to $1bn to create a large biotech company in the UK, a move likely to be seized on by ministers as a vote of confidence in the business environment post-Brexit. The announcement that the so far un-named investor will move a significant part of its operations across the Atlantic to develop a major presence in the UK will form the centrepiece of a �sector deal� between government and the pharmaceutical industry to be unveiled this week. The question of how the UK can develop world-leading biotechnology companies able to raise enough capital to grow without being acquired by a larger, sometimes overseas, business, was a key theme in the life sciences industrial strategy, published in August. It set a target of creating four biotech companies worth at least �20bn in Britain over the next ten years.

Not necessarily insider info, they are just better informed about WH and its global activities. News from the USA very positive.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/11/10/william-hill-set-us-court-battle-company-part-owns-lodges-legal/ The article is worth a read. It would appear WH has a big stake in Nevada and a useful chunk of the company under offer. Further positive news flow from the USA may see a further lift in sp or a bid for WH.

While others knocked Cameco it is up 13% on the news today. It is good news for BKY as long as they press on with digging some ore out of the ground in early 2018.

While this is not adjacent to Parkmead it does suggest north sea gas resources are still in play with the larger producers and consumers. Quite why the sp is so low remains a concern, unconvinced AGM will cast much light on murky waters!. Maersk Oil (OTCPK:AMKAF, OTCPK:AMKBF) and its partners say they will invest 21B Danish kroner ($3.16B) to fully redevelop the Tyra gas field in the North Sea to enable continued operations from the asset for at least 25 years. The Danish Underground Consortium, a joint venture between A.P. Moeller-Maersk, Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B), Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and Denmark's state-owned Nordsofonden, approve the investment following legislation passed by the Danish Parliament. The redevelopment of Tyra will ensure continued production from Denmark's largest gas field, and will protect and rejuvenate important Danish North Sea infrastructure, Maersk says. Peak production from the redeveloped field is expected to produce ~60K boe/day and provide enough gas to supply 1.5M Danish homes.

The small investors are always the last to know! My guess is that the USA is about to relax its online gaming laws and 888 could do very nicely.

Sounds very encouraging but the sp suggests otherwise so will not buy anymore until on the way up through 40p! At present about 15% down on my previous buys and not keen to throw good money after bad. The news is great but the sp does not reflect Parkmeads income, reserves or cash in the bank.

Is there a concern that Trump might bash the Pharma Industry over drug pricing? Hold a few AZ purchased after the drop to �42 ish earlier this year and had hoped for better given there are some potentially block busting drugs in the pipeline. Not a share I lose sleep over but a little disappointed by the downs and ups.

http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS-Fukui-governor-approves-restart-of-Ohi-units-2711174.html Good news for miners.

Depress the price and then buy back the shares, it has been done before. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/073015/10-most-famous-public-companies-went-private.asp

Imo the recent sp rises have been driven by solid results from a company that is relatively easily understood, is multi national, a recognised brand and whose earnings pay a good dividend. It has been a good run, there may be merger activity to follow but even if the sp slipped a bit I would still see WH as a buy and hold kind of punt.

I remain deeply suspicious of the sp moves today. Where is the bad news to justify a 4.5% drop in sp? More likely the little shits are using the usual dirty tricks to drop the sp prior to a large buy or....taken private for pennies.
