Tipped at 685p in IC 9th Dec 2021 . Just goes to show how you are better getting a monkey to throw a dart at the list of shares than believe that tipsters have a clue.

Really ? - Looks like a complete dog's dinner - in fact another of Simon Thompson's (IC) dinners. I'm glad (in this instance) I didn't follow his advice.

It might well be lunatic (and inept), but not sure about the right wing bit especially when it comes to business. It certainly likes to interfere and nowadays the public expects the gov to interfere in nearly every walk of life. It's not surprising that large UK pension funds want to stay well clear of the UK. If there is adequate competition, then the gov and regulators should interfere less in commercial aspects and concentrate on factors such as pollution. Telecoms and supermarkets are very competitive, yet it is a vote winner to say they are exploiting the public and need investigating. Both the gov and regulators don't have to worry about trying to ensure their private pension doesn't keep shrinking each year.

Not sure there are that many trades or with any volume. I've accepted the dead duck prognosis. Still can't quite understand how the company can have lost so much money over the years that it has been raising from gullible shareholders (like me). Still doubtless some will have done very well over that period and can still sleep well.

I can't understand how this company has a market cap of £350m with such low revenue and making a big loss.

I and I suspect the majority of shareholders would be happy to take 156p. I appreciate the recent share price (around 80p) undervalues the company but if this is rejected (and no other bidders appear) it will be a very long time before it hits 156.

I presume the share trade at 14.4p is a spurious error.

Yes I thought perhaps there was an RNS. It's very small cap so doesn't take much. I use them for structured products - seem ok but not convinced enough to buy.

Results seem pretty good and a little hard to understand why shares should be worth a third less than this time last year and why they were 3 times this price at the end of 2021. I shall buy more if they drift lower.

Done

Agree on that, seeing as there is not much value left in my pot to sell. I can't make up my mind whether to take the plunge and buy more however on this RNS. It's good news but no actual orders at this stage. It feels like putting money on a 14:1 horse which you know has a tendency over many years not to finish.

Tipped at 685p in IC on the 9th Dec 2021. Reading that mag is bad for your financial health - avoid.

I think this has a good chance of becoming the RIGHTmove of the travel sector.

I just had a quick read and they are pretty lacklustre (lackluster for US) . We have population rising rapidly and inflation plus price rises earlier tjis year and they just manage a 3% increase in revenue! Cutting costs may or may not be good for the future of the company. Net debt is up. Something still quite wrong with this sector.

I gave up reading IC a long time ago, it cost me an arm and a leg following it and perhaps especially ST. I have learnt to take various tipsters with a huge bag of salt, they seem wrong more often than not and especially in a flat or falling general market.

Yes agree on not to sell just yet as this share tends to move big when it moves (in either direction).

It's not clear or perhaps deliberately vague - capitalism eh.

Well the figures out today are not great. In real terms they are going backwards and Liquidnet division revenue was down yet again, suggesting they paid too much for it. I'm not inclined to top up just yet.

We have been here several times before but perhaps this time we may reach escape velocity.

On and on and on - all those employees (less now according to the blurb) and such little to show for it. Anyway our man is in Equador now - perhaps with Fedora hat.
