@smart_inv , I think it all looks good - clearly news of M&A will propel but at 460p sp has been showing good consolidation and support and we remain firmly in that upward channel - like Moorhey says - sit tight and play the long game p it will get rewarded.

So I work that out at £3m extra profit for JL Interesting that the loan was due to mature anyway having finished its 3 yr fixed term but JL signed an "irrevocable undertaking" to let market know his intent to repay the loan and get back his shares - sounds like a pre-requisite to a deal being signed to me - with JL taking the CEO role in the merged business. And why sign mid-day on a Friday - is that to allow for final "negotiations" over the weekend are we due news over the weekend/ early next week I wonder ?

Great news re JL repaying loan and reclaiming shares - due to take effect on 19 April, wonder if something might be in the offing - neither he nor CFO sold any of their LTIP shares this time round Watch this space - I think she is gonna blow - very strong feeling we may see news before April end - perhaps sooner.

Increased their holding by 300K+ in shares - @13 Feb they were reported to have 48,029,282 ( see PAYS website under large investors) certainly looking like we are about to break-out into new highs over the coming days - perhaps that "airplane" on the run-way has been given permission for take off - next few days will tell alot

@Technie - if my reading of the charts are right it looks like we had a bullish hammer candlestick on the 455p level with double normal trading volumes today - any thoughts ?

@GS - bit of Friday banter - why not Over on another BB there has been speculation as to who might be the target here is the starters for 10 - no particular order: 1. Sage US payments - pole position 2. Worldpay/Wirecard/Ingenico Merger - PAYS as junior 3.Vantiv 4.PYMT 5. etc........ Safecharge - I can't see it - hardly bold, and doesn't do what PAYS needs - which is to extend the wallet beyond gambling - that will re-rate the sp in a massive way. enjoy the weekend - remember every monday could start with some news - just a matter of time GLA Wolf

feels like we won't have long to wait to new highs

...typo correction.......... OTC trade was on the 8th

AEK short reduction on the 13th from 2.61% to 2.26% - probably connected with the large OTC trade on 13th - so your theory might well be right appleby that it was connected to a larger purpose

1. We are now on $1bn of sales - we have now joined the big leagues. 2. IC: Analysts at UBS forecast adjusted EPS of 51¢ in 2017, up from 43¢ in 2016. - that is 18.5% growth YOY ( I feel an upward revision in qtr 1 trading update) !! PAYS trades on a forward PE of 10 - to 18 for UK peers and 30 for USA peers 3. Acquisition "well down the runway" - $70-$100 mn EBITDA and capacity of $1bn debt funding 4. Some serious new senior mngt and NED added - expansion push in 2017 GLA

Strong buying into close on a Friday - intriguing, feels like someone wanted to make sure they were in the boat - wonder if we might see an RNS/news early part of next week ? Nice weekend and GLA

looks like 500mn shares in the past 20 mins have gone through - at least on google finance - now 446.9 my guess is that it not so much volume but who is buying I think we may breach 450p into close

Has the look anf feel of news coming - someone wants in before the weekend - only 30 mins left and we hit 444.5p

Boom... looking good to move to new highs in coming weeks

pleasure sheepy - glad the link was helpful

you are still a legend at trading this GS - you can't deny it !! Nice chunky position sir, I am also running a chunky position dating back to 2009 so I appreciate your perspective and your call - we all need to do what is right in terms of the risk profile - and you have been doing just that on the trading - so v. well done !!

sheepy - no worries, it seems HL use the statuatory EPS of 29cent rather than the fully diluted EPS - hence why they have a PE of 17 have a look at this link to edison research - you will see Forward PE for 2017 calculated is 11 ( I go with 10 because Edison use 10% YOY growth, and as noted on conf call - PAYS is actually running up 20% YOY again this yr - so PE of 10 seems reasonable to me when sp was at 400p which is where Buy Backs will kick in so I am working to worst case sp ) http://www.edisoninvestmentresearch.com/research/company/Paysafe-Group#js Personally I would use fully diluted EPS of 42 cent rather than the statuatory EPS ( includes non cash accounting items)

@Sheepy - probably true where a small number of investors are not aware that investment is based on forward PE(2017 - PE of 10) whereas websites like HL publish historic ( 2016 : PE of 17).

Probably a host of reasons : No M&A announced yet, profit taking ( 13th Dec buyers) , some trading it ( like GS - well done once again - legend), some pi's just panic sell, MM tree shake, etc......... that said volumes were relatively light . important thing for me is that we bounced off support at 400p and back into upwaard channel and looking bullish IMHO As Appelby spotted someone is buying big in the OTC market - that argues well

Looks like a very bullish candle formed today - argues well for upward momentum
