Yes I wish we knew .,some strange goings on. Undoubtedly a good thing that K - C has stayed on , the new board do seem to be somewhat gung-ho so he may be a calming influence . I take some reassurance from the fact that the recent vendors of businesses have taken up shares @ circa 60 and they must have some confidence to do that. The update that has caused some uncertainty was IMO not too negative they are still having growth and timing issues are not uncommon . Results on the 20th Dec should clarify. I do however have a cynical view as to what is going on with regard to share trading and suspect the possibility of collusion / manipulation. The recent rise to 65 was apparently as a direct result of pre- arranged large volume trades in an otherwise illiquid market. The rise probably attracted in new PI's. Then slam bang the update at a very strange time , such trading updates would normally be posted at 7 before the market opens to allow adjustment / judgement and revising of stop losses etc. But no, the RNS at 1545 allowed for a disorderly market adjustment where MM,s probably pocketed shares from unsuspecting recent investors who would rightly feel somewhat aggrieved . As I have previously pointed out there was a spate of mysterious " 1" trades at the market opening before each of these events . I wonder why ?

Interesting read. Judging by the astronomical PE of WEY IDOX should have an sp of + 500 !!

we will get a trading update mid Dec .

You would think that a loss had been announced. Not surprising that there has been some disruption in the markets that they operate . Debt up but otherwise no need to panic.

Should have stated if you Google shortracker the info is there . I am not actually invested here , but I am interested . We have a store in our town so I went in to have a look. Not a very busy day in town but there was a permanent queue of eager punters at the till with assistants whizzing about filling shelves , so I was rather impressed. A major concern for me though is that they source in $ . The � took a tumble today so costs have gone up. I have zero confidence in the long term prospects for the " great british pound " . I havn't investigated perhaps CARD have a hedge in place so there would be less reason to worry.

Hi Drunk Interestingly the short was opened just about exactly over this period of weakness so it might account for a lot of the sp fall. The 1.6 % denotes the size of the short position .1.6 % of 341 million shares, so over 5M shares have potentially been sold into the market which will depress the sp. Lots of smoke and mirrors with shorts but at some stage they will have to buy the shares back that could be tomorrow or a few years time. ATB

A short position was opened end of Sep only 1,6 % but it will not help.

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
