That said. Bring on the 51p.

I'm sure our PH resident QPP majority shareholder would be very exited if that happened.....

That's one hell of a sell on news this morning. I'm not in QPP any more, but I do think it's a good share long term.

Not sure what my reasoning was, but sold out of QPP on Friday near close. Bought back this morning.

Good timing, but totally by accident.

Nice day for me on my only remaining share - STG +15%

Going to wait a little bit, far amount more coming over the next few months IMO

It will surely have been the short term holders selling early doors after the rises late last week. I think a lot of people jumped onboard for a quick buck and probably did quite well out of it.

Great results though and a slightly higher EPS than expected. Clearly leaked out last week like all results are.

Probably yes. But this is why I sold QPP, the price is all over the place for now apparent reason. That's not to say I intended to only be in short term, but a little more steady would be nice. Now back down to 35p.

QPP in Questor today. Worth a read if you have interest in the stock.

Learned a hard lesson about holding shares into a results announcement, my thinking was it had already tested 44.50 and may have been held back due to Ukraine and other macro issues, hence heading back into the 33-37 range which seemed like ages, read the announcement and saw no reason to dump on the opening,

Testing 34 now

Might as well keep the holding intact and see how the ftse listing pans out.

Didn't you get in at about this price?

GKP are fked, independent story linking their debt issue to junk bond status! -5% in first 30 mins!

They've recovered a little but it could be a devastating day

[trashbat]

I was just going to ask if anyone has looked at GKP recently. Amazing. A textbook example of how to run a bad share. I remember 227p

Average buy around 37.5 as took a loss recently on barrat to get in to quindell when it was 35 ish last week. 2014 hasn't been a great year for a lot of investors, hopefully we've seen the worst and the rest of the year will be better for quindell.

Good read that. I'm still not in QPP. But only down to missed opportunities, I want to buy in around 32.

What are peoples current thoughts on OPAY and BLNX.

OPAY down 26% this month, BLNX down 48% over 3 months but now rising again.

They were tipped earlier on in this thread, and I've had them sat in a virtual portfolio since.

[trashbat]

I think BLNX are fundamentally junk. You might make some money out of other PIs, but it's not one I'd be keen on.

It's also worth reading some of the comments on this story on LSE.

CSG have taken a heavy hit this morning (30% as it stands now) and what is pretty much non-news.

There were allegations against against a former employee for deception so it was an update to say that this is progressing. Deception sounds serious but it could be something fairly simple.

good news from Alecto this morning - 80% raise in reserves.

Share price briefly shot up 30%. Tried to sell at these prices, but was quoted much lower (what do you have to do to trade when it's volatile?). Price now fallen back a bit so will hold for a bit longer.

Did you try to sell less than the exchange market size (EMS)?

EMS is 75000, I was trying to sell 90000. Would I have got a better price if I'd sold in 2 parts?
