I see Richard Connell picking up a few tranches of shares whilst sp down. Not huge but some which may give some confidence back to the market. The business is good just needs to sort out a few things and could be back as the darling of AIM.

Bought some at near the bottom today. Some very large buys going through today as well. Hopefully help us all out. This one does move when it gets going, up or down so I thinks its a case of hold on to your hats and glasses folks for a wild ride back up. Hopefully up to the latest broker targets which admittedly are half what they used to be but a nice increase on current price.

A lot of good quality growth stocks getting hit lately. The last few years have been good for growth on a number of newcomers but many have stumbled for no particular reason. It may be just the high expectations and high valuations. This along with NMC have been my favourites and also CVSG which got hit by bad news today. Just waiting to buy back in to FEVR and NMC which were both at around the £40 mark last year. The markets do look seem to be indicating that this will be a bit of a volatile year ahead so need to tread carefully.

Problem seems to be a bit like the NHS - plenty of patients but lack of medical teams to service them with reliance on locums which just adds considerably to the employment costs. A large number of my favourite growth stocks have been on a downward trend over the last 6 months with much volatility in between. Decided to sell out of everything when they all took take a turn for the worse. Glad I was not holding this one today. Just tend to trade at the moment and trying to pick the right times. Will wait a couple of days and might just buy some of these but maybe not as not sure where it is heading.

Auson, I agree with that. Still reckon that worth buying back in to here after couple days as with ASOS which took a few days before it had a very good bounce. RBC just given this a £30 target price so that should help all those that have bought in today and for them I would hold for a couple of weeks. I will think about buying when recovery starts to click in which it will.

1% a day is not as easy as it sounds but with a fair size pot and picking those stocks that have large amounted traded daily with no duty such as GLEN you can do okay. With the volatility in the markets (which I can see carrying on this year and in to next) then for us mere mortals it is the best way to deal at the moment. Alternatively worth just trading about 3 to 4 times a year when markets all hit low points like they did late December with many stocks up 20-25% since then and then just wait a few months for the next low. Can see a similar scenario happening for the next couple of years at least IMO.

Agree this should be a lot less than £13. I nearly bought in early today to hopefully make some money on a bounce but had a feeling having looked at the news that with this was one there would not be any bounce plus I hate bank shares as all doing badly. Although first shares I ever bought were BARC and I did double my money with those. Whoever it was who said best wait 2 days and then might see a bit of a recovery was talking sense. Might look back on Friday to see how things look then. Just sticking with my 1% per day profit trading which really adds up compounded over a year I can tell you. Markets to volatile to hold anything IMO.

All looks rather good and just what I was expecting. Bought a load on the recent drop and hopefully see this move towards the broker targets.

I put it down to rising interest rates in the US. Any stocks with large amounts of debt look to be falling along with a strengthening pound even if they are doing well financially. The market probably assumes that their profits will be effected.

Down again after those set of results. looks very good to me. Broker say buy and based on these results think I will start to build a holding here again as they look Brexit proof.

The drop in sterling has helped this bounce up today even though its only tiny margins. Need to keep your eyes on what everything is doing these days. I did notice that large sell trade go through yesterday which may have been another reason for the drop. Often see the sp pick up after a large sale has been through.

Yep! that is for sure. I just mentioned Boo to my daughter and how well they are doing and she said that all her friends are buying all their stuff on BooHoo or Asos in particulars all their Xmas dresses.

Jonathan & Marion Bomford both thought things will carrying on doing well when you note that they invested their full ISA allowances for this year in NMC just before the pull back. Now looking to me like a good time to get back on board.

Hi EJL7, I have also noticed a few of the high flyers have come down from their peaks. Just not used to seeing that with NMC. Seems to be bouncing off the 3300 mark at the moment. If it holds here might start to see a bounce back next week.

The bit about:Progress with our strategic initiatives has allowed us to reach preferred bidder status on opportunities of approximately USD 500 million, subject to client final investment decisions, and we firmly believe that Lamprell will return to growth in 2019." gives the company a decent outlook for next year which is what it is all about. Might just sit and hold these for a year.

Interim results appear to have been well received. I luckily decided to buy back in just before results as the sp was back down at low point and had a feeling any sort of interim results would always give the sp a decent kick even if they weren't great.

Agree. There is a fine a balance to making money in this business between advertising, costs of products and revenue. You do need to get it right which up till now Koovs have not. You only have to look at the likes of ASOS and BOO to realise it is not easy. Hopefully Koovs going forward will be able to make things work but expect this will be a bumpy ride.

Rather happy with my lot at the moment. Bought in at 12.5p a couple of weeks ago. Decided to add some more at the bottom early this morning as looked a bargain when you consider latest developments. Will probably hold these long term. Mainly trade US stocks these days though as they are crazy over there. Bought some AMD and Square on a broker recommendation and they are doing rather well but doubt that I will hold them long term. Think Koov will be good for the long haul like 5 years+. GLA

Interesting developments and news flow this month. I understand from the latest news package and the MDA that Avanti will gain immediate access to US global governmental and military activity that may otherwise take multiple years to gain approval to serve. It also says that 'HYLAS 4 will enter service in September 2018.' Hopefully with H4 up and running should see some more new contracts and of course the much needed cash flowing its way. See they also have a new website up and running and everything geared to a new future. I wish them the best of luck.

Wow! that is good news. Could be that Avanti will turn out to be a shining light for the UK after all. Just what AVN need.
