I have no idea about the company so have no idea if they are even expecting an RNS so that would be a bit silly.
I see you've changed it from a 1 code being an RNS due the following day (days countdown apparently) to it meaning an RNS in the next few days though.
Well, in my original post I did say 'they're due to announce NDA submission next week' and and related it to the one code, so i've not moved the goalposts there.

I'll take your wager though, £50 to RNLI from me if there's an RNS tomorrow, same for you if there isn't. You in?
Price monitoring extensions don't count though.
Well, the last 2 have been 2 days afterwards, so I'd be betting against myself there. They're also due news before the end of the month (if they meet their schedule) so it's a fair get there will be news in the next 2 weeks, but obviously not in the next few days necessarily. Price monitoring extensions don't count though.

I'll stand by my opinion that they are a load of nonsense i think.
Anyone have an opinion on Micro Focus after today - Finished down –46%? (MCRO).
Understand at a basic level some of the issues they are facing, but given scale of the business and what seems like a knee-jerk drop after profit warning and resignation, looks set to recover somewhat short-medium term?

Just out of interest what platforms are people using just for straightforward share trading and what do they think ?
Last year i started i started with HL and IG,
HL soon binned off as i use mobile platforms and it was too faffy to keep logging in, then put in a 2nd password in to buy or sell.
IG straight in on remember me and buy and sell at leisure quickly and easily but following emails earlier in the year following some market volatility they seem to have a wider spread which makes it more difficult to bob in and out buying and selling at a profit.
Any opinions on AJ Bell ? Or other trading platforms to have a look at ?
I have a straightforward variety of watch-lists i have compiled on IG so i can flick around easily on the phone and monitor movements etc.
Then i use LSE (London South east not London Stock exchange) just to keep an eye on the days biggest risers and fallers as IG don't seem to have that facility on the mobile app unless i'm looking in the wrong place.

Just wait for that '1' code...
We did. In fact there was a 2 share A trade sell as the first trade on Friday, a 1 share A trade sell on Monday and then news arrived yesterday that they'd missed their dates. It's all a complete coincidence. Like the last one, and the one before, and the one before that*
- and yes, some have been a couple of days afterwards, but the volume of news has been low and the accuracy high (as in no false positives)

I use AJB and it's OK. I also have a HL but haven't used it's mobile version. I prefer the Web version of AJB to HL. I find the mobile version of AJB OK and easy for trading funds and stocks. Last year i started i started with HL and IG,

I also have a HSBC account for a stock ISA and the Web site is very poor but I don't trade in and out on that. It's costs are relatively OK.

They see a '1' code and this means news will be out the next day, or the next, or maybe the day after that, or the next two weeks.
Then the news does come out and it's bad news and the share goes down 10%?
Those pesky MM's eh.
te , almost as good as elliot wave
No real thoughts on BOO.L but it's taking a beating!
If it falls through £1.50 then it could go to £1.30...
Like MTFB.L - it'll be going in the '17-'18 ISA.
I'll end up buying everything I bought this year, at this rate!
Was not the plan but I'll be averaging down and I'm still a believer!

Thanks I may look at AJB but looks like I may be stuck with IG as the app is so quick and simple to use. I also have a HSBC account for a stock ISA and the Web site is very poor but I don't trade in and out on that. It's costs are relatively OK.
