MAY27 Interim 2012/2013 THOMAS COOK GROUP PLC Earnings Release

92% of IG clients with open positions in this market expect the price to rise

8% of IG clients with open positions in this market expect the price to fall

Off to a solid start.

Seems the US minutes on QE could dampen the market this morning. lets hope Non farm pay rolls wakens it up at 1.30 our time.

I think this has gone as far as it can go for the present.
pause for breath until further trading statements are published.

Happy to hold for the moment and wait for first week in feb, though sp could then go either way depending on trading statement.

2012 was a good one for small caps stocks, with the FTSE Small Cap index ending the year at 3419, up 25.2% on the year.

The top performer on the year was travel firm Thomas Cook (LON:TCG), back from the brink of bankruptcy and up 224% on the year.

whatt goes up so fast must come down!

It's come down pretty fast from £2 over the last two years transco - no reason it can't go back up again just as fast. The financial press are now sounding very bullish about this company and market sentiment has turned around. I certainly wouldn't be shorting this share right now.
