Yep the return to more normal volume and trading seems to signify that a " 1 " trade denotes the start of pre- arranged trading and a "4 " trade denotes the end.
adv I hope you are correct but I think we are pretty much guaranteed a drop tomorrow , the 71 div + a bit extra for a weak ( potential ) economy post Brexit 1650 ish would be my guess Strong balance sheet so long term they should be able to take the strain and the forex earnings will help . Well worth holding for the div.
strange going on here? Before all the recent activity and SP rise I noted a ! share trade as the first trade did not note the date but it was only a few days ago . The next day it was a 2 share trade , didn't note a 3 share trade ( but might have missed it ). Today I note a 4 share trade first thing in the morning, nobody with any sense would trade these quantities so this has to be some sort of signaling exercise . Makes me ponder just how " free and fair " these markets are .
Yep ,and a perfect example of the dangers of setting stop losses .The result IMO were as expected yet this was taken down mercilessly by tripping stop losses . They should be re- named as take a loss( and then regret it )
update received badly by the market. Fall has been overdone IMO . Still enjoying excellent growth and guidance remains unchanged . Cash will be at a relative low after div pay out but this could simply be the result of timing issues .
high . Looks like we are getting a long overdue re-rating . One of the few stocks which might actually benefit from Brexit in whatever form it takes . The only potential problem on the horizon is the situation in Catalonia , but hopefully management are noting and making safeguards .
note that smarmy carney has had one of his theatrical nudge nudge wink wink moments and hinted that rates will shortly be rising to control inflation. The £ has duly risen thereby reducing imported inflation which has been the main cause of the inflation. Job done , no need to raise rates now . I am am amazed that the market has not seen through this ruse . Rates will absolutely not be rising , smarmy will make some lame excuse such as " Brexit concerns ". The relative yield on shares such as GOG will remain attractive as smarmy kicks the can down the road. ATB
Beats me why folk were selling like mad probably @ a loss and minus the strong div . These results were as expected and in line with the managements guidance . No surprises ,the loss of the franchise was a blow, but it had been previously announced so why the panic ? I believe this share can be manipulated by MM,s triggering stop losses etc . OK next year will probably be flat with the franchise loss but looking through that the medium / long term prospects are rosy with increased forex earnings and a weakening " great british pound " . I did not get the chance to top up but any further weakness and I will be . Happy to hold and pick up divs ATB
rise today probably punters trying to pick up shares before the 8th Sept deadline.
Interims due early Aug looking for a stable set of results and a 4p div I hold some SL. and was also considering selling to buy back in . Glad I didn't it iscontinually hitting new highs just now. ATB
gives clarity and closure to potential contract disputes . Her majesties could not really be very hard on the company because the company is merely attempting to implement government policy. Guidance remains unchanged.
another scandal hits the NHS . NHS Shared Business Services a company part owned by the government have lost / miss directed many thousands of patient documents with possible serious consequences for at least 1700 ill people and a cost of many millions to rectify the situation. Document handling is a bread and butter exercise for Idox , another possible revenue stream ?
No idea . But if there was a genuine 1 m + sells through the market the sp held up quite well. Looking at the 1 year chart the current sp represents a buying opportunity .( not that I am a chartist ) ATB
Tune1 i could not agree more I take no notice whatsoever of them except perhaps to take an opposite stance if all the sheep duly buy or sell as a result of a rating. What amazes me is how these guys hang on to their jobs and cope with the embarrassment , in most other industries they would be fired. ATB
I wonder what happens to the analysts that came up with all the broker downgrades around mid March ? resulting in a 10 % fall in the sp. Convinced these guys produce downgrades to order.
Sold top up on Friday @ 1834 . Nowt wrong taking a quick profit. Not long now for full year results , not expecting anything wonderful, lets face it the economy is showing signs of fatigue if they can maintain the div that will do me just fine. A deteriorating economy might be good for GOG in the long term as punters dump cars and take to public transport.
up @1726 . Is everybody going to stop travelling because Teresa messed up ? Even if Labour got in and nationalized ( highly unlikely they would have to be in a coalition and therefore unable to act on their more extreme measures ) they would not get it for nowt.
opening today i guess the fall was a " market " reaction to the FGP results . Very different market caps but same industry , the only slight negative for GOG is that it is more UK biassed than First. Also interesting to note the relative ratings, FGP on a PE ratio of 18.7 with horrendous debt and no div. GOG on a PE of 11.2 with minimal debt and a strong div. The " market " is an ass.
If the software etc supplied by 6PM holdings to the NHS performed well in the recent hacking fiasco , Idox could very reasonably expect a lot of new business from that source . Very large budgets in the NHS , the future could suddenly have become a lot rosier .
yesterdays fall was due to -- 1 ) The labour manifesto promising rail nationalization . For once the polls are correct, it will no happen. 2 ) Smarmy carney taking an eternity to state the bleeding obvious This is the central banker / politician who stated that if we the peasants are thick enough to vote for Brexit the economy will go into immediate free fall. The exact opposite happened , he then took my breath away by stating that he had saved the situation by cutting already non existent interest rates a further whole 0.25 % !! Blows my mind , and we pay him millions for this . Can we not find an out of work actor ( British ) to replace him , it would have to be an actor because it is essential that central bankers maintain that facade of infallibility and being in charge of every situation.
