SP at close to 6 month high. I still need 8p for b/e. Tempted to sell now and pile it into WMH which has dropped 15% in last 2 days in case of a bounce there....decisions, decisions.......

Over expansion on debt is a major concern. Alright while the revenue increases to match but if that dries up - recession, over-saturation, cheaper competitors etc - it can be curtains (Flybe, Thomas Cook etc etc etc).
I'm still hovering on SELL but would rather get to break even. This is a company you can't afford not to watch very carefully (on a daily basis). GLA

Also why FLTR unaffected? - surely not immune to an on-line stake limit.

Don't understand this. 2 new cruise ships to pay for already.

So GVC loses 10% since yesterdays news, WMH down 18% - why the bigger fall?

But it's the Cons that have knackered the bookies.......(and the banks)

Did he hold these?

Ex Div tomorrow

I disagree with part of your treatise below. Saga cruises are aimed at the wealthy. The wealthy are recession proof. If you're in any doubt take a drive around the country and look at the sheer number of posh abodes. Not just the South East - it's all around. In fact the more miserable the country gets (eg no deal riots?) the more likely the wealthy will take off on an 83 day odyssey regardless of the £30K+ ticket.
I think it's a good move to invest in these 2 ships - but admit it is make or break...............

As for the Motley Fool - what a bunch of tos***s

BB - Google has an odd habit of expunging their more absurd statements from history. I wonder how that works?

If that's the case your's will also be obsolete......

Hopefully WMH will get a nudge up from :-

GVC, the company that owns Ladbrokes, says it expects its profits to be bigger than expected despite the government's clampdown on gambling.
The firm still expects to close 900 stores over two years because of the maximum stake on fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) being cut to £2.
But while the use of FOBTs has fallen, in the third quarter more bets were being placed in-store.
The group, which also owns Coral, said online betting is also up by 12%.
In a third quarter trading update, it upgraded its profits guidance for the full year to between £670-£680m, from £650-£670m.

Not true. I want to read all posts if there's something new to offer. I had to average down here and would sell if needed - certainly before the 30's. There will be wild swings so I haven't set a stop loss with the broker - they tend to use those to their advantage (like Friday), but have a mental stop loss.
I've no illusions about the situation at Saga and want out in the near future but I feel it is still undervalued with a good 50% upside.

Harry - please sell your shares, end your nightmare and move on. I have to agree with others here - your posts don't add anything. I have a sneaking suspicion that it could be in your's and deos's interest for the sp to fall back to the 30's but personally I don't think we'll see that. Anyway, if you really are a shareholder you'd set a stop loss so if it falls you can buy back in at the lower levels you predict, so increasing your holding at zero cost, the same time averaging down.

I went to London Stock Exchange which displays all trades (>25 minutes old). There were copious sells in the 10-20K size between 08:00 and 09:00 and a corresponding steady drop. Does look like a reduced / sold position - rns tomorrow no doubt.

Thanks for that - couldn't Google anything significant either...

Funny though isn't it that despite all the good news and the end of Woodford selling, the SP lingers at these levels. I suppose buyers are waiting to see what happens post-brexit, hoping to pick up some bargains....

Has anyone here got full access to Trades? Would be nice to see the big sells causing the drop.
There is another possibility - SP manipulation by market makers to fill a big order i.e. cause panic selling by big drop in SP
(is that illegal?)

Richorpoor - Think its to do with ex CEO suing the company in the news something about 4 million

Not aware of this story - do you have a link?

Aviva's down less than 1% - must be something else?

Likewise :) Their insurance is good and competitive.
Both are down for quite different reasons - interesting to see which will recover the faster.
