Up at this moment by 3p - about to try and find out why!

Things have not improved today, almost down to the price I
bought in at, currently 23p...But things can turn round, stranger things have
been known!! I'm off to the tea-rooms for a large brandy in
the meantime!!

This is not the only stock held by me that is misbehaving to-day many more are.
I tried to sell some but missed the boat and I am not prepared to give them away - so as you say its hard hat time and await better news maybe end May for GBG.

Agreed OakApples, I'm certainly not selling out for this price!
My large/mid caps are doing OK, but another small company
CRY - building sector, has had two days like GBG not making
happy stock watching on two counts.
Never mind, still think it is an over reaction to the news
yesterday that wasn't that bad, but if you check the trades
on GBG there are several quite large holdings for a small co.
that have been sold today - one of 43,000 shares, bound to have
a negative affect...

On the other hand-
On PC Market Eye were 2 trades marked F ("single protected trades")
At 16.28 75k at 25p & at 16.15 50k at 27p. They were not marked as delayed trades. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Sorry- "single protected transactions" in case is different.

Sorry not a clue I'm afraid, but it's looking better today
currently up by three-quarters of a penny, not a lot I know but encouraging!!!

I have asked the question of what these single protected
transactions are on the traders thread, someone there may be
able to shed light on it hopefully.

A protected transaction occurs when a large order is going through the market. The buyer (or seller) may wish to keep the order anonymous from the rest of the market as the size of the order could greatly alter the price of the stock. With a protected transaction, the dealer will put the trade through in small quantities rather than knock the whole order out in one hit. The entire transaction is reported once the deal is completed. The LSE is notified at the start and at the end of the transaction. However, the market as a whole isn't told until the end, thus the order is protected.

Thanks so much for that "Hilary". Seems to me it would be a good idea to commence a questions and answers thread from which many would benefit - lets get weaving!.

Also thanks from me!

Rising this morning people - maybe (hopefully) the worst
has been and gone now, but still keeping the hard hat handy
just in case of further falling masonary!

I sold out all my holding 150k at 25.5 for a 15% profit on the warning. Big disapointment to me GBG, I like what they do and think they have a future, but it is best to stay out until news looks better. I would be looking to get back in at 15p.

Well as I'm still in from before the problems you will be able
to understand when I say I understand your thoughts, but equally
I don't want to see a price level of 15p again, hopefully that
level is behind them (fingers crossed behind back!)

There are a worrying amount of ? trades showing today....

OK Is anyone left still in this stock on the BB or am I the only one
still holding onto the mast hoping its not going to sink??!!

With all the talk of ID cards this should be a great time for GBG
but all it seems to do recently is leak share price/value.

Anyone know anything????

I have some- took pfts at the update 8th March, then b. back lower. I'm hoping the drift is just lack of news.

stockbunny

no, you're not alone! Unfortunately I bought in quite high (looked strong at the time) but I'll hang on in there. Hopefully this thing going through with BT will sort itself out and they may post some healthier results next time.

I have also been in this for some time stockbunny, still in positive territory and plan on hanging on for the time being. Shall do some further research today and advise!

OK than there's nothing else for it, we will all lash ourselves
to the mast and hope for the storm to ease and land to come into
sight......

""All for one and one for all!!!!""

(Sorry I have a daft sense of humour I'm afraid as jj50 knows,
If you can't laugh in this game you'd cry an awful lot!)

Tuesday 25th May for results people, let's hope they are good enough
to lift us out of the ditch we have been in for a while from a share
price perspective (fingers crossed!)
