Quite a bit of recovery distance between here and £4.00 cureboy.

Recent contract RNS seems to have caused a bit of a jolt.

Nice to see it starting to recover.

Here's a 10 minute collection of some of the more high profile Ransomeware and Disrupted Denial of Service cyberattacks that have made the news in only the last month or so. Indiscriminate targeting says no business is exempt.

It is these that create the backdrop and environment into which DARK sells its products.

Things seem to be shaping up nicely for 3rd March and the company just keeps it's head down and gets on with the work.

R+D on the increase (Courtesy of bobocaca)
https://www.verdict.co.uk/cybersecurity-innovation-among-tech-industry-companies-has-dropped-off-in-the-last-year/

Darktrace Holdings Ltd has recently ramped up R&D in cybersecurity. It saw growth of 69.2% in related patent applications in the three months ending November compared to the same period last year - the highest percentage growth out of all companies tracked with more than 10 quarterly patents in the technology and communications sector.

Next post I'll cover the present climate reference recent known Ransomware, Cyberattacks etc.

steviewonder77,

This link that might let you compare DARK with other growth stocks in the Computer and Software sector. Pretty good grounds I would suggest for saying DARK has been harshly treated today and the fall has been over-exaggerated.

https://shareprices.com/sectors/software-and-computing/

Rinse and repeat imho. Most of the initial fall was caused by the MM's on opening just blanket hitting all stocks across the board. Very little volumes though ensued and at the close still only 2,204,627 shares have been traded for a 10.54% fall?

And many of those would have been buys.

The Russians (and all oil producers) are profiting hugely off increasing gas and oil prices whilst its winter and colder in the western world. If you are paying the wages of 130,000 troops why not pay them and park them on exercises and deployments near the Ukrainian border. They then become self-funding.

10% fall on DARK today and if you can find a company specific reason for the fall then good luck to you . We are not based in Russia or Ukraine so in any case shall remain unaffected. If anything we will benefit through the fear of, and prevention and detection of electronic warfare and cyber attacks.

At 5% down.

here's a link to the share prices of all in the wider retail sector. Draw your own conclusions.

https://shareprices.com/sectors/retailers/

The Russian / Ukraine rhetoric seems to be pointing back to the dialogue table.

If nothing happens Wednesday and it becomes another damp squib will today full 30% plus drop in the share price be given back?

7% down this morning was a giveaway given both Russia and Ukraine wouldn't be two countries at the top of most peoples vacation or short break lists.

If nothing happens Wednesday then presumably any recent drops in the share price will be given back.

Russia denying any plans to invade. Lavrov seems to be saying "We can see a way to move forward with talks".

Watch for Wednesday being another anticlimax of a damp squib

Today, tomorrrow looking like good days for taking rebound positions if you believe nothing will occur.

No matter what you say on here you'll all be holding when the market closes on 2nd March...

It is a fallacy Sanchez because you are one.

Same with sheltie and a few others on here.

Its pretty easy to spot who the traders are on this bulletin board, and those that are actually invested.

If you impact assess Russia crossing the border into Ukraine it should have no negatie effect on the DARK's bottom line. If anything it will increase the likelihood of further ransomware and cyberattacks in countries where we do do business and provides us with the best free publicity that you can have for our sales and marketing teams.

For instance America.

San Francisco 49'ers incidentally the latest to be hit on the day of the SuperBowl .

Still it enables all to top up ahead of our next update.

Since BP announced it's last record breaking quarterly results and its commitment to spend 40% on renewables including Hydrogen, ITM I have earmarked as a takeover target.

Good Morning Jamesy1980,

Card revising its store model is a forward step in the right direction.

I remember Next in the past trialling multiple store layouts and observing buyer behaviour in each until they reached an optimal layout that sold the most product. That was then rolled out over the full estate. Now look where it has expanded and the share price has climbed to.

Nothing wrong with looking to maximise profit in this way.

Aldi contract extension of 2 years is also brilliant news.

Would that be a threat of war in two countries (Russia and Ukraine) where we have no offices or bases and it has to be said an element of which would involve electronic warfare which we can actively prevent, and which will probably end up being lucratively net beneficial

The market hits all mannner of stocks, some more than others. The trick is to digest the news and see if it affects your bottom line of £, $ and Euros. If it doesn't then it presents an opportunity.

Couple of weeks time (3rd March) we should get some flavour.

Given Cineworld doesn't operate in either Russia or Ukraine.

Valentines day - One very big event now in the bag that we missed last year.

By the way last time I looked we didn't have any stores anywhere near Russia or Ukraine so these market knocks present good top up opportunities.

Lets you see where we operate. I'd say minimal impact.
