Bought Meeting Zone for £61m & had a placing of 12.5m shares at £4 a pop to fund the buy. Shows what a bargain it is at these prices!

Click, BP is a favourite share of mine & i made a few quid on it last Summer jumping in & out a few times before buying the large amount in Oct. A great dividend share & a good one for those who are very risk averse. Was all going a bit slow there for me, hence my decision to exit. In this market there are ways to grow the cash a bit quicker i think. I jumped in on a company called Loop up recently for a modest amount. On paper it looks well sound. Bit of a no brainer in fact but on the dip for some reason but i'll keep topping up ready for a bounce. I meant to get back in on Melrose last week but missed the 152/153 drop. That's a good one for a LTH. On PFC i'm hoping this could get back to £4-5 within about 3 years & will leave a good chunk in here waiting & hopefully returning to divi payment. The divi here pre covid was unreal if it returns to those type levels will be great. We'll see. GL & well done on keeping the faith here!

i've missed out on some big gains on some of the shares i been in due to my own impatience really. Was a bit lucky here as the sub £1 dips happened when my BP shares (had a load of them @200 from Oct) were @315, so i flogged them & pumped most of the cash in here. All turned out good & the BP actually then dropped so was a bit of luck. Sitting on a great profit here now but yes the ISA ones i'm looking to sit it out for a long while on!

I'm not really too bothered about the diverse/balanced portfolio stuff myself. I never really hold more than 4 or 5 shares & go more with instinct & a good bit of research. This is my biggest holding & i'm in on a couple of AIM shares too. Have always got a few on the radar with entry price targets in mind. Once those targets come near i would maybe look at reducing here to jump into the others. Like you say though this is still a great growth opportunity & i'll stay as long as it takes!

The vast majority of mine are tucked away in ISA accounts & those ones are there to stay for the long term, post SFO outcome. I've got about 20k of shares outside the ISA which i'm ok to trade with a bit. My initial target here was always 170 & once it gets there i'll probably trade a few if other good opportunities come up. Am well pleased with this as an investment so far though & still a long way to go here. Very unpredictable share this though!

yes, agreed no pullback at the end surprised me. Have to say i was tempted to slice a few @145 as got so used to these dipping back down. Glad i stayed with it. Next week should see this rally away i think!

haha, just mulling over whether to top slice some of my 40% profits on PFC & stick a bit more on here. Won't be putting it into SGC that's for sure!

i should've bought Stagecoach just before Souter & Gloag announced they were flogging all theirs!

Quite honestly if investors are prepared to sell their shares at losses that is up to them. I'd be quite happy if these share dipped down to 50,40,30 or 20p, as i'd just buy loads of them. The audited accounts here indicate to me this is currently a huge bargain & if i can get them even cheaper, happy days!

like you sold your PFC CHRI55. To limit your losses. If you're holding @95p why say it's going back below £1 when it's on the up. You missed out. Simples. Probably to lose more cash on SGC. Anyone selling this at these levels is crazy. Each to their own i suppose!

Every share has a bounce level. This is no exception! Be patient! Nothing has changed here from when it was around £1 a few weeks back. It'll be back there soon!

Absolutely agree Ian. You'll have seen my refs here to PFC. I bought in there in Jan. Lots of turmoil abounded due to various stuff & shorters screwed it down to 90p. But the fundamentals were still great & i just loaded up on it in the 90s. Today it is 145+. Loop has far stronger fundamentals albeit on a smaller scale. This is a big buy opportunity IMO. I've no doubt it will come good. All this share needs is one good update & it should fly!

CHRI55, i'm still waiting to top up my PFC @ the sub £1 you told us all it was going to!

On pretty much every metric this looks almost too good to be true. Quite frankly i'm tempted to buy a whole load more but am concerned about the seemingly endless drift down. I remember looking at this pre results @ around 77 & thought it looked good then. Think maybe better to wait to see a bit of an uptick here before piling in full on! Can't see any reason for any mid/longer term concern. Seems to be very well managed business!

The more i look at it, the figures here are so bizarre. £12m cash @hand, £50m revenue. Mkt Cap only £36m. so undervalued unless we're not being told something!

bought another tranche @66

Only been 6 weeks since the results update. I been in on stocks with no updates for much longer. No news is good news as they say.

As has been stated this has been red every day bar one for over 3 weeks now. The rot WILL stop at some stage!

Stew, the shorters get it wrong sometimes & have to cover quickly causing a short squeeze. Would only happen here if some excellent news dropped out of the blue. Personally i believe this share is just being played with by the shorters at the moment. They are just buying & selling and gradually bringing the price down. In the absence of large buys the drops will continue for a little while yet i think. Ultimately it is just an opportunity to buy up cheap stock & that's my view here. The turnaround will happen at some stage soon!

Stew, it is probable that it is short sellers. Declared & undeclared & the company doesn't/can't issue an RNS if it doesn't know who the sellers are. I suspect they are shorting it down to rinse out a few sellers who are tired of the drops. They will then buy them all back at a bargain price. I've seen it happen on a multitude of shares!
