Well Questor advised taking profits. I saw some very large sells listed Friday PM - looked like institution holdings, probably looking for a quick buck elsewhere. With hindsight (or a trip in Marty Frys DeLorian) I would have sold at 240 and bought back in today to gain 20% of shares. I can see a rise from here but have no new funds to top up :( When you think of where the co's placed and with the govt about to invest big in housing it's a no brainer............

? CLLN effect. Can't see another reason.

I've been invested off and on in FPO for years now and currently have a modest holding. When they were in the 17-22p range I was often the only poster on the LSE board for months at a time. For some reason FPO is off the radar for may PIs. I have confidence in this co and intend to increase my holding over the next few years (partly by re-investing the divi) and plan to have it as a significant chunk of my share portfolio when I retire. Because of the significant European business this is an ideal post-brexit play offering some security.

Agreed. The recent rise has been too fast so I'm not surprised at the dip of the last few days. I would only sell if the SP drops below �2 and then stagnates for a while. My hope is that there will be a period of consolidation from here with some modest growth over the next few months. I'll be very happy if we reach �3 this time next year and may be tempted to sell at that point. GLA.

I've been listening to the arguments and the lowering of the stake. It'll make no difference whatsoever to a punter who wants a thrill. Lower it to �50 - okay I'll press start twice. Lower it to �25, I'm now having 4 games - this is nice watching the reels spin more. Also, the jackpot can be kept same eg �50K but we'll just reduce the odds to match the stake. Also, if you're really going to try to tackle problem gambling across the board, why not pick on �10 scratchcards. What's to stop some fool spending �500 on 50 of those in one go? The whole thing is ludicrous - you'll never stop a mug being a mug.

I could take 100% here but feel there's more to come. Greedy? Not really, the co is not highly geared, is highly profitable, has a very strong reputation and is well poised for the future. Housing is in short supply. The Govt has declared intention to spend billions on social housing. WJG are adaptable and can deliver so would be in the running for those contracts. They are a specialist too so attractive an TO to bigger cap builder. Nothing is ever a safe bet but WJG is a low risk bet. I'm staying in for another 50% and may extend that view. I have missed out on some meteoric rises in the past. I sold 4imprint for modest profit and missed 600% rise in the few years that followed. i haven't sold sometimes and missed out on maximising profit - difficult to make these decisions isn't it! Some say that a profit is a profit, take it but don't look back, move on - maybe that's best for you.......GL

Looks like many here have bailed during the steady rise over 2017. I'm going to hold and target £3 as my selling point though will make a judgement at that time. I have detected a pattern of weeks of a tight range including a mini-retrace or two followed by a sudden surge of 10%ish every two months or so (usually in conjunction with a trading update or broker buy signal). GLA all still here............onwards and (hopefully) upwards.

Thanks for that. I am invested here, though cashed out a 5th after the big rise (117 to 195). I plan to hold the rest for a few years because the fundamentals are so good. I am a bit concerned that post-brexit we could see a significant dip in foreign students. Saying that there's a big housing shortage nationally so the future should be assured..............

Hi, I'd like to read that but it takes me to a subscription sign-up. Could you copy/paste the full article. Thanks :)

Rapidly approaching £2. Happy to be in at 117. Tempted to sell but this has the feeling of a multi-bagger - £3 in a year? £5 in 5 years? £10 in 10 years. Pension fund material.....................

SP closing in on a year high - about time!!!!!!

This is impressive. My average 117. Not sure how long to go on this, could be a multi-bagger :)

Same with me - I've just posed the question to Barclays re where is it?!

I wonder if somebody could explain equity swap, noticing on the RNS that Parvus Asset Management Europe Limited have crossed 16% share ownership - then it lists a load of equity swap dates etc. I was trying to find a reason for the sp rise over the last week (am a modest holder of WMH shares). btw I appreciate todays rise is probably due to the 'ceo' news.

Sp on the up

HRG should be a good synergistic fit. I like the idea of picking up my Argos purchases when I've done my weekly shop. It will take a few years to mould but ultimately sbry needs to diversify and offer a service to compete with the likes of Amazon as well as offer the convenience of local / same-day pick up. The main thing is that they are not just standing still. Rocky road ahead but I'm in long term and have the divi cushion to comfort me on the journey.

Sobering thoughts re future WJG propsects post Brexit. I imagine that the demand for modern Uni accommodation blocks is nowhere near satisfied though. So many students get unwillingly turfed out into the private sector after year 1. If I was in that situation I'd much prefer to rent a modern en-suite room than house share with 3 art students AKA The Young Ones. Also - this company is a construction company that can easily diversify - the country has a chronic housing shortage. I've just modestly invested here and hope to be in for a good few years.

Englnds utter humiliation must be good for William Hill?

Could this shock out vote be good for UK supermarkets? Will Aldi Lidl have to pay tariffs on their EU imports?

MMs maybe dropping price to encourage selling if they have a big buy order to fill? Seen this many times before in other shares.
