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.

Top stock pick for 2011 From Daniel Stewart.......

PartyGaming (LON:PRTY) Target price 295 pence (current price 192 pence)

The online gaming group is valued at 295 pence a share, giving more than 50 percent upside from the current share price. Analyst Michael Campbell reckons may struggle in the poker arena, where the likes of Full Tilt and Poker Stars are piling on the competitive pressure.

However he reckons this will be more than offset by the performance of Partys bingo and casino offering.

Campbell adds: Partys merger with BWIN results in the largest online gambling business across a number of product verticals. Its the largest European Poker business across Europe and occupies top spot in casino, whilst sharing the spoils with Betfair in the sports betting vertical, though Betfair's model is distinctly different to the Party-BWIN model.
