they also want as much 'value' as they can get; so, stocks with Dividends, are likely to be right up there at the top of the list, for when they do go shopping. Rotating out of one sector, to move into another, as and when they're in [or out] of vogue, is always a factor to keep in mind too. They always know of this long before the likes of us, as Kick has just mentioned!

Kick - exactly my point from earlier this morning. They will sit tight - maybe until as far as the autumn I reckon. But for now, I do not see any reason for Funds to potentially over-pay, yet again. Let's face it, they've certainly not done very well with their DT buying to date!! Ouch :(

To be 100% clear. I was discussing the topic, not you, or any of your posts! Only the comparisons to the US. ATB

Ndn likewise but comparing with Crowdstrike etc. is just plain crazy. We will never ever see valuations on multiples like that. Its the same with Bio Pharma; they go wild for those stocks too! Huge valuations that are never replicated here. It’s a US thing not a London thing! We are very, very much more conservative here, with our multiples!!! But yes, some may find it ‘interesting’ - but every day? Along with the Broker TP discussions - every day? No,I’m pretty sure it puts more people off this board than attracting them to interact. It’s like staring at a tap all day, waiting for a drip! Have a good day all. :)

Ijgs- absolutely. I’ve always said making comparisons with a massively different market is an act of desperation. The US and UK have very different views on how they value Tech, Parma etc. Companies. Why buy into a falling stock in a falling sector, when you can buy into the Banks, Travel etc. whose prospects look excellent this year? You wouldn’t. You’d wait-out and see how the Tech sector looks in the autumn. . .the articles are unfortunate, but the damage has been done for now. It will take many months to recover; so, it’s a matter of wether people will continue to watch in pain - or sell-up and move what’s left of their money, to another company, in the hope of recouping it. It’s not ideal, but it is what it is for DT.

Ndn - tomorrow? Up or Down? Just for laughs!

And neither will have ANY effect on DT tomorrow; which will NOT close up 7% or 14% - I 100% promise you! It is ridiculous to continualy keep comparing these companies, which are on two very different Exchanges, in two very different countries (when it comes to how they value Tech shares). It's like comparing an apple with a melon. They're both green - period! Charles, please, you are sounding just a little bit more desperate each day. That said, whatever fantasy world makes you feel better; but I'm not sure you're fooling anyone, other than yourself here!

Looking forward to these highly elusive RNS's saying that Funds have bought in here! But they just don't come, do they?! Hope Springs Eternal. One day....

I see no reason for Funds to buy in here, when it's very likely to go lower. They will wait as they aren't stupid. I also would not describe DT as a 'rollercoaster'. It spiked immediately post IPO and has been in freefall ever since mid October 2021! 'Car Crash' might be more accurate though!

Yes, exactly correct Watchman. The Brokers numbers are fictional, or may as well be. Anyone whose investment here, is based in any way on their Target Prices, is sure to lose most of their money. Think £5/£6 and be very grateful if we reach that ball park cos that's all DT is worth. At present, not even that much clearly!

That’s why you need a balanced portfolio, to counter any poor performers like DT has been. British banks will be top performers this year, as they were last year. Lloyds will make you money GUARANTEED as the dividend alone will be c.4 or 5%. Take a look at how well the share has performed too over the last twelve months. A very tasty performance indeed and you don’t need to sweat it either, unlike DT. It’s a no-brainer really, hence why I have a very large amount invested; unlike DT, which like it or not, remains very risky (no profit and no dividend makes it far less attractive (this year), to the large Funds). Interest rates are only going one way, so the future for the black horse, looks excellent for the next two years at least. Best advise is to diversify, or you wont sleep well and ‘could’ lose a lot of money, which nobody wants to see, for anyone. Good Luck people, but give Lloyds a look, you are highly unlikely to regret it. I won’t mention it again! Health before Wealth too. . . .ATB

CR888 are you totally crazy? You have just told us that you have "been to Beijing quite a number of times" on this board. Now we ALL know who you are. Wow. For someone who is so keen to remain anonymous, that is one seriously elementary mistake. I've got it down to one, in two and half billion already. . . way too easy. Good Night Folks. More losses to come tomorrow; but at least we can laugh our way through them!

£5 by Monday of this week. Definitely.. . I think. Yes, I'm certain. But then, maybe, "this Monday" has already passed? Oh I don't know. OK - £4.99p by close of play yesterday; yes, that's it. For sure. 100%.... Yesterday IS Thursday? Right? Shoot, this investing malarky sure aint easy.

I'm very uncomfortable with this thread. Who started it? You're reported whoever you are. Lol!! Peace and Love Charles :)

Romaron, I have no idea, what you are on about. Stay safe. Stay incognito....like me.

Watchman, I'm very disappointed in you. It's very clear what Charles is referring to. There will be a crossing of the tea bags, interspersed with a screwdriver rotation, circum-navigated by a small bollinger pig, painted pink with a 4 day MA. That does not happen often in the market I can tell you; so I can see a huge rise here very shortly. £5 by Monday of this week.

possibly Ndn, but I'm not convinced (re. DT). I think DT has been sucked into the general vortex and is struggling to alienate itself from being labelled as "tech". Just my thoughts though! My gut says it's being put in the same box - online or not. Certainly looks that way and the next couple of weeks will either cement that thinking, or prove me wrong. At this stage, it is firmly in a bearish 'tech negative sentiment bubble' it seems to me. Flu and Covid both 'appear' to be one and the same, and are commonly mistaken, until a PCR Test is taken . . .! Know what I mean!? Very blurred boundaries here. Today's modest rise is the expected daily 'recovery', but certainly it's not the 'story'. . . Off to see a big Fund Manager now (no, not in this space!)

Ndn - I think it's actually deliberate. It took just 32 minutes to mention Brokers yet again; despite yesterday's polite plea to stop. It's a wind-up, as nobody can be that stupid. . . . you'd think :(

Lat - it’s not about tech shares being “cheap” anymore. It’s a wider sell-off/negative sentiment across the tech sector thing. Sure the Ukraine doesn’t help, but overall it’s one thing after another for DT, so we can’t keep apportioning blame to weekly incidents. For me, it’s deeper than that, within a very unloved tech sector. Below tells the tale of over-priced and over-hyped technology shares. A good read nonetheless as although referring to THG much of it applies to DT too . .this may not be the end of a major sector sell-off I suspect. Some recovery today will happen, but I wouldn’t bet against the shorters making plenty more money out of this during February and March. The sector is very much out of favour. Just a matter of how long that negative sentiment now goes on for. For the Banks it was over a decade!! Today will be better but that’s not the story; it’s just a recovery day. . .

It goes from bad to worse. It falls through every support level, with ridiculous ease. Should we all now be looking at sub £3? I’m just truly very sorry for those who have undoubtedly lost a lot of money here. Seriously, no more mentioning Brokers TP’s now Charles, as it would be very insensitive to those who are really badly out of pocket. Maybe if and when we ever get back to £5, but otherwise, may I suggest that you leave them well out of it here, so as not to offend those nursing heavy losses. This has been a shocking fall from grace for DT.
