A hair down on close, will be intereting to see how it goes, the results were really strong.

my monthly cant believe the capita price - is it now at its lowest ever? is the company doing that bad?
Crikey. Same with BAB. Glad I got out of those two a couple of months back (at a big loss even back then).

Anyone in Blackbird, cloud based video editing and stuff (not sure I fully understand what they are up to)!

Great results but currently down. Luckily for me I got distracted and didn't buy bang on the opening bell. I think they're a good bet for the future.

Oi! Where's my money? I nipped down the Aston martin dealership this afternoon on your tip smile Reading that results just looked all positive stuff. The new norm seems to be good news not even a open spike stocks just drop. However I like what the company does and have been looking for more US potential growth stocks.

I don't get it. For 5 years they turnover less than £1M and make about £1-2M loss every year. But an MCAP of £72M !!!! Totally bonkers imo. Plus crowded market place.

As it happens I was going to buy some more today but that rise has put me off right now.

I really struggle to get my head round some of the MCAPs in the market.

I've got a fifth of my money in STAR which has recurring SAAS revenues of ~£2m at high margins in addition to contracts to supply their tech to numerous businesses in strong growth which has led to them turning the corner into a break-even/small profit business after a few years of losses. Their MCAP is sub £3m and the SP is has edged slowly down by ~20% over the last few months. I'm still convinced they'll come good but when you compare their capitalisation to other tech companies with poorer balance sheets and arguably no more potential it's baffling.

Keep on looking at getting some of these and when they fell to 44ish I should have dipped in.
It didn't last for long and now they are back up in the mid 60s... guess the new Non Exec is making changes!
He hasn't been seen here much.

Ha I know right! but I'm holding anyway, next quarter' results will be spectacular. I think the Xilinx acqusition for $30bn took the afterburners off.

Ok so I have got a short going via IG spreadbetting account on RR from 230 a share at £50 a point.

Does anyone know what happens if I keep it open past today?

Today is RI so tomorrow SP will adjust.

Had a look on LSE chat and it’s a bit confusing. Thought I would ask the experts here.
I would give them a call.

Some of the spreadbetting mechanics are very confusing and you want to be sure of the outcome.
Called them up....clear as mud.

yeah, that was most embarrassing when my Interactive Brokers card was declined at the OPC over a paltry £170k for a 992 turbo S

my limit sell of 87 now looking ambitious smile

It is a double hit as my shares in Porsche today are down, No doubt heard your card had been declined...

A US stimulus package after the election will sort out our US shares
