This one hit the markets running today. Despite negative publicity it was well supported so I jumped in for a small holding--anyone else joining in?? I am hoping for a good run up before the shorters get going.

also party has a 53% share of the market-mainly American customers--it's rivals have a share no bigger than 6% each. I'm happy to sit and wait with my small holding as I expect their first set of results to sparkle.

ON THE OTHER BOARD,THATS III SOME ONE SAYS THE ACTUAL BUSINESS STARTS TOMORROW.

NO ONE SEEMS TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS SHARE,IS IT BECAUSE NO ONE IS TRADING THIS OR WATCHING FROM THE SIDE LINES.

im watching from the sidelines.

In an earlier post i posted my reasons why in the long term i saw it as too high risk and probably a good short but could see it rising in the short term - happy to sit on the sidelines and let the price settle down before getting involved

How does some one know where the price will settle ,and the amount of interest shown so far in terms of volume dont you think this might turn out to be another google,not in a big way but couple of years time.

the few others i have spoken to on the traders room board agree with me that they think that it is fundamentally a short but then they like me have thought that at several prices along GOOGs upward rise, hence none of us have entered the market. I think there is every chance that the market could chase this up over the coming months, though long term I still believe the US govt effect will have the largest bearing on the long term share price.

In comparison to GOOG i think the two big differences are the possible illegality in the US and the lower barriers of entry to potential competitors

Thanks for the info,its appreciated.The reason i was asking these questions were after reading what others have said on other boards,at the end of the day we make our own decisions,and should accept the decisions we make, good or bad.I am in this but for the short term,lets hope it stays that way,but i am sure profit takers must be lining up at some stage.

The funds don't like the risks that come with this share but if it does go into the footsie 100 the trackers are forced to buy-so it may not be wise to short it yet a while.

as a new investor i was to say the least a little alarmed to see the rapid drop of party gaining thi afternoon. has anyone got any ideas why this should happen?

thanks

sorry,i was so alarmed i forgot how to spell

Friday close--short term profit taking. I expect a steady rise next week towards footsie 100 status. IMO

thanks for the reply, i hope you are right

sliding back down the greasy pole I'm afraid but I intend to hold for the results in September.

my personal opinion is that it will fall flat on it`s arse in 14-18 months time. wouldn`t touch it with your money Neil, let alone mine !!

SOME THING IS DEFINATELY BREWING HERE,AS THERE HAS BEEN A TRADE OF 13 MILLION AS A BUY AT 16.40,ALSO UP 5P FOR THE DAY,AND ABOUT 90 MILLION SHARES CHANGED HANDS,ANY ONE WITH A SHORT TERM VIEW.THANKS.

MY APOLOGIES JUST CHECKED AND ITS CHANGED TO A SELL,STRANGE AS I SAW THAT AS A BUY FIRST AND AFTER TYPING THE MESSAGE IT HAS CHANGED TO A SELL,PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES,BUT SOME COMMENTS ABOUT TODAYS TRADES WOULD BE NICE.

Big plunge today, big risk going in but it's a poker playing company
so I've decided to take a 'bet' on partygaming on the back of the 1/3
share price drop.

Anyone else decided to give it a go?

I think the market has over reacted. Profits were above market expectations it was only that customer numbers did not increase at the rate as before. However they have just launched their product on mobiles which will increase this customer base. I feel sp will move up over the next few weeks.
