Answer me this all you wide-eyed caffeine freaks.

Why does Comdirect watchlist always mark this share's (and many others) bid price down after close of trading to e.g. 1.05, whereas Digital Look and other sites leave it at the 1.15 level it actually closed at? Is this a site specific glitch, or a true reflection of MMs' overnight caution?

Mind you SelfTrade shows your portfolio at the mid-price between closing and opening next day. Makes you look VERY clever over the first large coup de rouge of the day.

Just one of the many mysteries of life. All biscuits gratefully received.

I'm with selftrade and their daily change figures are always wrong, sometimes i'm 300 up, then 300 down, but with the same total value. Very odd, not major, but annoying. You have this problem SD?

stockdog - 18 Feb 2005 09:44 - 128 of 2037

Ye, Snaylor - Selftrade have some pluses, their news organisation and company fudamentals, broker forecasts, charts are OK.

Very annoying you can't get instant credit to your trading account with an on-line transaction (you can even at midnight with Comdirect, au contraire) - you have to phone them to get instant credit. How inefficient is that for all concerned - two people's time, cost of a phone call (do they make money on this? I wonder), delay in the punter being able to pay over another 12,.50 trading fee, worst of all missed prices - mad!

The pricing from 4.30pm onwards is bizarre - generally mid price, often shows a backwardation (offer lower than bid!) during the day its pretty accurate in my experiance, except thta day you buy a stock shows the days variance from yesterday's closing price or something weird.

However, too much inertia to change wholesale ot Comdirect wshere I also have an account - love their Watchlists and the way you can get all RNS and other news items headlines at the press of one button for the whole list - it's my first port of call every morning (sorry guys even before MoneyAM bb's).

Any answers to my otehr question about why Comdirect show a marked down bid price at/after closing each day on many stocks?

TIme for my first cup of coffee - ah! heaven.

Any comment on today's drop? The MMs have opened the spread up to a huge level.

stockdog - 21 Feb 2005 22:42 - 130 of 2037

There was a large trade of 500,000 at 15.09 at 1.10p marked as a buy - should have been a sell IMO.

This might have caused the MM's to drop the bid for the rest of the day to put off any other like minded vacillators (no dear, vacillator!) Also the MM's regularly drop 0.1p off the bid at close of play (for overnight protection?) and put it back on the next morning - see my previous post 127.

Can't find any fundamental reason otherwise. Being such a low SP, there is a de minimus movement in price which always exagerates its own importance.

So this evening relax, for tomorrow we panic!

dclinton - 22 Feb 2005 09:36 - 131 of 2037

Well, they put it back up and a bit more today so no panic :-)

Ted1 - 22 Feb 2005 09:56 - 132 of 2037

Good solid buying this morning, panic well over.

AdieH - 22 Feb 2005 10:09 - 133 of 2037

Just topped up myself, might get to a million shares at some point...

richie1saunders - 20 Mar 2005 17:36 - 134 of 2037

Nice write up in the papers today. A bit of good press won't do any harm at all.

snaylor - 20 Mar 2005 18:07 - 135 of 2037

Which paper richie, have been waiting for some more press interest in this one. Any interesting comments?

stockdog - 20 Mar 2005 18:19 - 136 of 2037

AdieH - 21 Mar 2005 08:34 - 139 of 2037

overgrowth - 21 Mar 2005 09:08 - 140 of 2037

AdieH - It's taken some time, but it looks as though the market is just starting to recognise that the market leader in Eastern Europe, trading at just over 1p is extremely good value !

AdieH - 21 Mar 2005 09:24 - 141 of 2037

i know glad im in...

Ted1 - 22 Mar 2005 10:16 - 142 of 2037
