I’m looking at BOO hoping for a good drop.

Also might short RR see how it opens.

1 - More in EUA/GGP/KEFI.
2 - ORCP, SNG, SBE, (+other SPACs), Alba, NIO, EMH, THX, TGP, EUZ, HZM, BCN, AMGO/BOO whilst they're low.
3 - etc etc.
Interested on your views on KEFI, I was in and out for a decent but unspectacular 25% gain. Now considering again but seems to be a complete coin toss on whether they get funded before a deadline in a weeks time. History has not been favourable with lots of false dawns and dilutions I believe.

Any more balanced opinion than that on LSE?
Thanks Mike will look at some of those I am not in already, I was waiting for NIO to drop back a little(if it does) also you should look at Xpeng, announce a few weeks back there car are going to be sold to Europe.

I'm looking at BOO hoping it'll get back up to pre scandal levels

Saw it have a spike down this morning didn’t quite hit my buy target of 210.

RR I was looking to short from 230.

Will watch them both. Boo has great potential IMO. I would be surprised if shoppers even see any Boo news among all the COVID news.

Too much information there Pete


I'm in the same situation though, have a number of stock which have future promise, there's a couple of others I'm interested in.
Can't decide whether to return to buying and selling about three or four that have regular variations up and down to get little profits or spread my cash even more thinly over a large number of hopefuls, looking for a couple of biggies. The latter is more "exciting" but two decent risers can quickly be negated by big drops in the other eight.

Dont mean to be the voice of doom.
The precious metals rally which has recently turned into any company that mines and has a small market cap. Saw this back in 2009 the liquidity levels are immense at the moment and hot money is in small mining caps this will change soon.
Look at the charts back to circa 2009 they all went mental then. Have a punt but dont go Billy big balls. I'm itching to get involved but I know a company that is looking at gold surveys doesnt need to spike 300% when production is decades away. When let's face it gold will fall back by the time the mines uo and running.
Sector breakdown soon imo.

Thanks, could well happen again, as people pile in I suppose.
We need to keep a sensible head on

With four out of the five big auditors saying they won't go near Boohoo, what does that say about the fifth one?

It looks as though Ernst and Young are the one that didn't head for the hills, and after some reading, it appears Arthur Andersen's UK operation merged into them a few years ago. Leopard/spots?

Just joined the Boo party at 250. I was looking at them for about a minute, they were 232, then they went up to 250. Not sure if that was a glitch, but I only just missed that spike if it wasn't.

So all these buys yet still the SP drops, not sure I will ever get my head round how the pricing is decided.

oh good, I was waiting for someone to ask that LSE question.

IIRC back many years to my training, trade reporting doesn't even have to include a buy / sell indicator. Why would they when it is irrelevant? There was a buyer and a seller and all we need to know is the price.

see all those asterisks? they probably mean * who cares, we are guessing

I am not having a go at you, I am genuinely perplexed on this fixation (asked same thing a few weeks ago on here) - why do you think it matters whether a buy or sell is indicated?

Lots of buys would indicate an upward trend and vice versa.

Indeed. It's very misleading when transactions are reported as a buy or a sell. It would only make sense if there was an intermediary who held the shares in between?

aha, the "filthy MMs" argument - has anyone ever tested the veracity of that conspiracy theory? (I honestly don't know as I work in Volcker environment)
