IMHO it's nothing fundamental - ALTHOUGH Brexit risk is receding according to the polls, which should help the FTSE.

Watching Verint and VRX earnings this week.. if you can set a guaranteed stop might be some very good upside/downside opportunity.

Agree took some Vrx long last week targeting around 33-34, earnings are more or less known, will be all about the guidance.

I'm not really in it for a long term play but there could be a mean reversion trade in it as long as it stays above 25 ish could potentially make a move back to the 40's and higher.

Down 16% in pre market ! Looks like the earnings call was not received well.

85% insider owned (meaning the business founders).
So unlikely a bunch of random internet punters will have any, I suspect.

Here are my red flags:
- Big data.
- Merging with a one-app wonder. (And I mean ONE - no Android app available yet - just iOS.)
- That particular app sounds utterly shyte. (Crime data overlaid a GPS map so you can avoid "red zones" yup - sounds like something I would pay precisely NOTHING for... and oh - it's free.)
- Nothing updating their website with financials since 2014.
- Detail-free merger announcement - what are the terms?
- Now it's worth $200m???

Yup guidance was poor. My trade will most likely be toast by the time the options expire next week.

Oil and Gold both look interesting to the short side, Oil isn't quite there but feels a bit toppy. Gold needs to flush out all the late bulls before it can start the next run up, maybe a move to 1180ish first before the next leg up.

My shares in BooHoo (Clothes retailer similar to Asos on a smaller scale) have gone from 26p and tipped 30p today over the past 6 weeks.

I can see these creeping up to 40p in the short-medium term with some good results.

Just over a year later, and from my starting point of 26p, with a few more bought in at 31p, these are now at 57.5p.

I'm still backing them to go to at least 65p within the next 6 months.

I do believe that they have the potential to go full ASOS given time. Interesting for he medium-long term investor.

Hopefully Taylor Wimpey and Centrica will rise soon as its looking a wrong choice to buy a few weeks back.

Any UK stock is essentially a Brexit bet at this stage.

Surely there are opportunities to make some money in the run up to the Brexit referendum?!

How are you guys playing the markets?

Linkedin How that's worth $26billion no idea.

Short of hacking them and flogging off the database a few million times on the black market, you mean?

Recruiters the world over must be hyping up the value

MSFT always tend to overpay to buy sh*t companies. They'll be a huge write off/down in the next couple of years!
Similar to Nokia.

Everything is up and down like a yo-yo at the moment though.
Thinking about Tesco who have just dropped below 150 and Wimpey who are just below 180. No guarantees on anything though...

ED Invest SA (EDI:WSE) - Polish Building Contractor, traded on the Warsaw exchange.

Anyone bought shares in it?

Looks very very cheap at the moment. It's trading at 50% NCAV. I'm thinking about loading up on it just now and trying to cash out when it hits 4 or 5 Zloty on the way up.

What do you guys think?

[Tomero]

I'm thinking a Brexit vote could be a good buying opportunity, some shares are likely to take a quick and large drop I feel but then recover over time. The question is, what kinds of shares / companies? Airlines? Manufacturers with big EU export markets? Any suggestions?
