charts or not, I sold just under 520 on the basis that these big shares never rise 10% in a day so due some retrace - hope to buy back in later

Bought in early this morning having researched over the weekend. Haven't seen a share like this for years that has filled me with so much confidence in the future, slightly annoying I hadn't researched it before last weeks fall as 60 would have been a wonderful price to have achieved but having ipo'd at 62 it's a decent price for the long term Some of the pointers in recent news that caught my attention:

- April 2018 the Group won its largest contract from the Swedish telco group Tele2 $1.7m
- Jul 18 acquired Danateq US$7.0 million in cash with deferred consideration of up to US$5.0 milllion (based on increasing revs until 2020) via placing at 73p, Danateq pbt was $1.6m in 2017, Positions Pelatro in the "Multi-Channel Campaign Management" identified at the time of IPO. They also inherit a large recurring revenue

- Given the challenges faced by telcos, there is a crying need for advanced technology to assist them to increase revenue and reduce churn. This is exactly what Pelatro provides thereby opening up a plethora of opportunities for Pelatro
- "We believe that Pelatro is about to witness a point of inflection" - interims 2018
- Oct18, Pelatro signs Global Framework Agreement with Telenor Group for Loyalty Management Solution, Pelatro will now present the solution to multiple operating companies within the Telenor Group with a view to implementing and supporting the solution in those networks

Sad for you Leicester guys, I know there are a few here

Yes, I had s/l on my ftse long y'day - hadn't expected the steep fall and I was out at the time, that's what the s/l's are there for I guess.
I've been avoiding US funds for a long time (unfortunately) and still am, think UK has far more to offer over the long term, I was also thinking about emerging markets right now and I'd appreciate your thoughts, also still pondering the WEAT & CORN etf's as a long

Had about 34m shares left at 6th Sep, just done a quick calc on volume since then of around 100m total, so 50% is 50m.
Can't be long to go now surely ?
Thoughts ?

Going nicely

"Got to ask the question why these so-called experts didnt see the corrections coming........??"

Some have probably been calling it every year since 2009, if I'd listened and stayed in cash all that time I would never have enjoyed the 450% rise I've had over that period in my favourite fund, even the last 3 years it's up 45%. Never has the phrase "time in the market, not timing the market" been more appropriate

As you rightly say, strictly speaking we are still in correction mode atm and not officially a bear market until it reaches 20% below the high for a number of days I believe

Went long on the ftse 100 yesterday from 6930 as I am bullish in the relative short term, although there is certainly fear and uncertainty around I think it has been overdone and the markets will recover to an extent.

My beliefs:
US will not raise interest rates at the level and pace expected
Italy will back down to an extent
The fear in the market is very high on the scale, historically markets have generally fallen most when the market is not expecting it
Trump & China due to meet end Nov, who knows the outcome but the market will be hopeful imo
Brexit remains a big concern and I believe May could be overthrown beforehand, which could mean a hard Brexit which would probably be good for the US dominated Ftse 100 anyway

Nonetheless I do see a bear market coming eventually, but not this year imo, Euro or China slowdown could be the catalyst
So far so good but stops in nonetheless, would definitely be looking to short if the ftse gets to say 7500 (could take a while)

Let's see how wrong I am :)

I'm thinking of the timing of an oil price rising with RH out and the humungous tailwind that would give it here

hope you didn't get back in, that trading statement is a shocker. Not in personally

or CTEA even

cteo is old Milestone Group ticker MSG if it helps

Laks I think this was posted on here last week, anyway I found it very interesting.
Historically good news for the markets. That's the bull case anyway

I gave in also recently for a small profit, Robbie Burns mentioned it being decent value but he was only interested at about a quid,which makes me wonder if that's the shorters target. It's tempting to try and trade these swings but I think there is still plenty to be made when the shorters eventually start to close

Been on my watchlist for a while and just catching up on my previous reseacrh when I came across this in the feb 2018 trading update:

"The Company's projections indicate that there is sufficient cash to reach the point of operational cash generation in FY 2020"

And then a placing in Jun 2018.....
My trust in this company is beginning to wane based on this, any views from holders please ?

yep, so bought some more just now, will be fine eventually

Hargreave Hale is one of my managed funds and I rate them highly. what makes you believe they are loading up ?

personally I wouldn't, they should be trying to make the existing loss making stores profitable before embarking on more loss making stores - imo

not surrprised personally, desperate straits

Preators
"A bear market is when the price of an investment falls over time. It occurs when prices drop 20 percent or more from their 52-week high"

We haven't done that yet !!
'bearish' would be a better description for the recent correction
