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

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.

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!)

Thanks for the reminder stockbunny. I just can't decide on this one whether to hang on in there or "jump ship". Haven't found out much more about it that pushes me in one direction or the other. May as well wait till 25th now!

Have been sifting through old information on why I bought this in the first place! As I am sure you know, it had been a long term Citywire tip and last year at this time directors of GBG were investing their own money in the company, as were a considerable no. of "shrewdies", which can't be bad news. When it fell 19.1% on a single day last March, the reason given was "due to an increase in investments in new services and that a legal settlement of 100,000 will also impact earnings". Nothing here looks too dire, so I am going to wait and see what evolves at the end of the month!

I was going to say from your previous post, 'jump ship'? I was thinking of buying in & thought we could do a deal! Mind you nobody has mentioned 'topping up' at this price wo I'll do a bit more delving.

Amberjane, only "jump ship" because stockbunny had suggested we "lash ourselves to the mast and .....the storm"!! Recent fall had made me feel a trifle seasick (!) so excuse the nautical terms!

Amberjane - I haven't got a reason for not topping up GBG, it's just that
I don't do that with any company, to be honest, unless it is a good divi player (blue chip) or a stock where I have bought, sold and buy in again later on - not quite the same as topping up.
The way I figure it (rightly or wrongly) is that if I wasn't prepared to risk any more money than I did in the first place, what could have changed to warrent
risking more cash on it, especially if its gone down in value.
Its just my way of doing things, which can be a bit strange I admit!!

No I agree, with all my shares that are down I have never bought any more but on reading some posts, to buy in later at the 'bottom', if the share then only recovers to half your first purchase youve reduced or wiped out your losses. Well it sounds good but in theory as you say......

Dont have any GBG at present but have been watching for some time.

Which is possibly the most sensible thing to do frankly
(sit and watch for now) if you're
not already in and don't have a servicable crystal ball (lol) it is
possibly better to see the results first - but I can understand the
temptation to get in before just in case they are really good.
Buying in low seems to work with the blue chips but the tiddlers,
like you I'm just not sure (lol or brave enough?) to do it.

Brave or .....!! ummm I bought cfp today .84. R they at bottom? didnt wait for my 2 candlesticks!
