the vat windfall seems to have had a negative effect on the SP. this is a huge sum for rank imo. Also the goverment is holding this share back, they can literally control the sentiment of this share through their decisions. What i am wondering is what do these 'potential buyers' want with rank, what do they see in this share? Currently most things are going against rank at the moment, so why do they want an interest in this share? Well the company has two good brands, mecca bingo and blue square. There is large scope for diversifacation of these brands. Also i would guess the 'potential buyers' would want to expand the brand throughout the world by expanding into various other countries, there is so much more potential out there in other countries where rank would have a better chance to thrive. Surely the buyer would not want to keep this company solely based in the UK where it is being hammered. Rank is the base, the foundations are there and buyers are aware it is something that can be built upon. I wouldnt see this as a long term investment, however with 3 -4 large shareholders, it is obvious this will be bought out to make better use of this company. I might buy in just for that reason.

goldman sachs target 350p. however does seem to have support at this level

i wouldnt just get your hopes up on age of conan just yet. It is seemed to be very buggy at beta stage but hopefully they have sorted that out. also it is selling against gta4 which has already been crowned as the biggest selling game of all time within 2 weeks and mgs4 and haze just round the corner. revenues could come in less than expected. remember AoC is a game which needs to HIT to be a big hit. it is relied on people playing the game online, so if it has dire reviews it wont kick off. with WoW2 round the corner SCI will need to pull out all the stops to publicise the game. if they hold back on advertising expenses then they are digging themselves their own grave. gta4 sold masses on great advertising and mass hype and anticipation, not because it is a great game. they should seriously take a leaf out of take-twos books. currently the game is number 1 anticipated pc game according to gamespot rank, which is a credible source. you would have to figure how much of this games expectations is already priced into the SP? just a constructive argument for you guys to think about!

he looks good! prty chose the right guy

isnt agm supposed to be 2day guys?

full tilt are having a really bad time at the moment regarding cashouts. Many of their poker customers are getting really annoyed with them and there are vent threads as long as 70 pages. check this out: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=164459&page=79 i wouldnt be suprised if part of their european base comes to prty because of this. they have been trying to take prtys customer base recently with all those american ads on british tv, well atleast all that has gone to waste for them lol. Pokerstars seem to be having some problems too. Indirectly this is good news for prty, their poker players will leave them soon enough and hopefully american frustration will make its way towards the DoJ. good chance of extra pressure being put on the UIGEA, it could be the likely reason why people cannot cashout with all those extra stupid checks that are done on transactions

if ftse drops to 5700 in near term, banks will drop down with it regardless of their current sp. However i do feel this is a good place to start with alliance & leicester for stake building. i'll probably dump 3k in soon at this price and my next stakebuilding stop will be at 400p. like ciscogaz said though, there is a chance alliance & leicester could do the same as BB. which will have a negative affect on the SP.

this stock does look cheap as in bargin basement cheap at this value but why arent any directors buying in at this price? i would have expected them to top up at these levels with quite large amounts. this is the thing that is putting me off at the moment. do the directors know something about the forthcoming interims that are putting them off buying at the moment? something to consider

lol im sure that is a mistake.

investors are probably realising how much this stock has been underestimated. Playtech have also had good results. Hopefully this will be the start of PRTY pushing on forward. I agree though short term suggests that this may fall back however i do believe that this is a respectable value for the share price. previously it was just oversold. There has been many good reports for this share during the past weeks and maybe it is now catching the eye of larger investors who see this as a long term winner. People get too attracted to the 'pokerscout' numbers as a weighting for their share price but at the end of the day that does not really matter when Prty are pushing forward so many tournies. It wont be long when this hits 40p again.

gedw, i think rubymurray is just another account donace has made to wind people up. just look at the general trend of posts for her account and u can see she is a donace follower. Donace stop this crap and stop acting like an immature kid. im 21 and im more mature than you, you old bag. If i remember one time you posted that you were going to a care home to get people to invest in vanco, who the hell does that?!

oh yea and it will be hard to predict which way this goes. Be wary if market magnifies the negatives

decent figures with positives outweighing the negatives i feel. Casino is flying :) and italian license is great news. Partypoints seems to be costing them alot compared to other companies however they probably have retained their core customers because of it

Expectations have been priced into the share at this moment in time.

high pressure salt water is not worth the hassle!

http://www.gambling911.com/PartyGaming-041508.html this may be the reason why the SP has rocketed in the past 2 days. however do not take the source as the whole truth as the website cannot sometimes be trusted. http://www.gamblingcompliance.com/node/13603

first quarter KPIs on 30th April. Do you guys think this will have any positive effects considering they have had no effect in the past?

forgot to mention that the reason of the rise today is because PRTY have re-entered the French Market. Also good thinds going for the UIGEA
