It is not often that you get a stock to go exactly the way you want it, but playing NETeller has been a CFD (contracts for difference) trader's dream.

The volatility has been so extreme that it has presented several opportunities to go long (and short) with double-digit returns for nimble investors.

Originally mentioned as a long opportunity in early February at 510p, the stock (NLR) has risen spectacularly, hitting a high of 757p before profit-taking combined with short-selling brought the stock down to earth. The 'e-wallet' company, which specialises in transferring money between a gambler and a betting website, reported its finals last Tuesday. It highlighted that the average daily sign-up of new customers had increased from 910 to 1,821 and that its total number of members' up until the end of last year was 1.25 million. Revenue increased 130% to 45 million and earnings per share (EPS) came in at 15p putting the stock on a demanding historic multiple of 43. However, do not let the historic rating put you off, as the story going forward is quite compelling.

Three years ago, revenue came exclusively from online gambling. Now, about 15% of revenue is generated by other activities. Chief executive Gord Herman wants the company to be a money transfer business similar to that of Western Union, as well as offering other banking products to its customers. He had already made significant progress when the Financial Services Authority (FSA) granted NETeller authority to operate as a bank in the UK. On top of this, NETeller made an acquisition of a Macau-based payments company, which will enable it to cater for the gambling fanatics of China.

The stock trades on a forward 2007 multiple of 14.75, which is too cheap for a company that is delivering on its results. Durlacher, the stockbroker, has a price target of 12.00. Modest long positions should be mulled over at the current price and any weakness in the region of the mid 500's should be pounced on.

SBT same sector - up 5.56% does any one know anything about this stock? Thanks

>> pension

check the SBT threads

Thats probably the problem at the moment toogood. The same wallys (from advfn) who bought up to 750p are now shorting it down. Mind from what Ive heard there joy will be short lived very short lived. Lets see them get burnt.

cheers GF.

Haven't read the advfn thread for ages gf but the guys I know who post on the traders thread have been adding.

I chucked everything 3 weeks ago but I still reckon these are going to 1100p but enjoying the break so in no hurry to get back into anything at present.

Good luck.

Nice to see you back Dil,,will you buy back in to these in the future ??i still think there going to move up soon.JB..

Not the near future jimmy , I'm out for a month or two , may even give it a rest until the Autumn ... seem to have lost my enthusiasm , happens from time to time.

Still trading currencies but tend to only hold positions for a day or two , sometimes less than an hour.

I'll still keep reading so keep the good news coming , number of open positions EK got it looks as though a lot are just short term punts so wouldn't worry about him.

Cheers Dil, im staying in ..JB..

Nice to see you back on Dil, must admit the present market conditions doesnt give much hope to anyone. I just hope we dont get stuck in that bloody crab like rut we got stuck in last year.

regards GF.

Had a SIPP statement yesterday gf , lost money on shares sold April to September then made triple what I lost from October to March ..... so I thought I would skip April to September this year.

Biggest winners were these and ACE.

For immediate release
8 April 2005

Sportingbet Plc
('Sportingbet' or the 'Company')

The Board of Sportingbet notes the publication yesterday of the World Trade
Organisation ('WTO') decision to uphold the principal original rulings in the
trade dispute between the United States and Antigua over online gambling. These
rulings found that the United States has not complied with its obligations under
the General Agreement on Trade in Services ('GATS'). In yesterday's ruling, the
Appellate Body of the WTO recommended that the Dispute Settlement Body request
the United States to bring its measures into conformity with its GATS
obligations.

Sportingbet welcomes this development and looks forward to continuing its
efforts to promote the regulation of the industry in the United States.

The Board also notes the successful passage of the UK Gambling Bill, which
includes provisions for the regulation of online gambling. Sportingbet looks
forward to working with the new Gambling Commission and awaits with interest
clarification of the new regulatory framework and the level of taxation that
will be levied on UK licensed online gambling operators.

Im feeling good about nlr today. 7+ by 4.30 IMO

The Week In Review: Gambler's friend hits the jackpot
By Stephen Foley
Published : 09 April 2005


The legal status of internet gambling in the US is cloudy, but the numbers of Americans, in common with people across the world, who are punting on sports betting sites or playing internet poker has been growing exponentially. The traditional banks won't touch their money, so NETeller has grown into a significant business as a result of this opportunity.

It operates an e-wallet, ferrying money between the gambler and the betting website and taking on the task of verifying users' identities and checking for credit card fraud. An average of 1,800 people a day signed up to NETeller last year, and it made 45m from its cut of transactions. We tipped the stock after its flotation last April and it has more than tripled.

Nervous investors will want to make sure the company is keeping control of administrative costs, but the opportunities continue to outweigh risks for investors with a bit of gambling money available. NETeller has just made an acquisition of a payments company in the Far East that will allow it to expand into gambling-mad China, where its expertise in cross-currency transactions puts it ahead of the local banks. Keep buying.
