I got into Cardpoint at 1.11, they are now mid 40's.
Is it time to take the profit or are they going higher in the next two months??

any views?

Keep hold of them , brokers have targets over 2 quid.

cheers GF.

Who do I see about buying shares in paracetemol or asprin????

Feel this ones a lot better positioned now than Money Box or Scott Todd and also going forward I make it cheaper with greater visibility of earnings.

Transfering my dosh in Scott Todd to these.

cheers GF.

In the blue already.

chers GF.

It was not long ago you were saying get out of CASH -get into Scott Tod. Have you reversed? Are you still holding Data?

i hope it's about to fly only got
on board last thursday

hustler

down 4.5p today so far...abit of tree shaking i feel...

May have also fallen in sympathy with Scott Tods profit warning. Good job I moved over.

cheers GF.

Yes, mms probably trying to get a few off the nervy and using the Scott Todd warning as a decent excuse.

capa

Up trend is still intact.

cheers GF.

Moving back up again now.

cheers GF.

I got in at 86p and out at 140p. But I was too slow going back in. I think I saw a brokers note saying their was a potential 50% upside. Was it Numis?? I don't remember.

Well that dip of yesterday didn't last long, mm's had to try something to get shares but using the Scot Todd warning was never really going to work as long as you know what you are holding, especially after the recent trading statement.

Gallick, Numis had a buy recommendation and 1.75 target price but that was before the recent statement. I reckon an eps of 20p for next year is on the cards putting this on a future single figure p/e, which is a nonesense when you look at the growth. Seriously undervalued and a re-rating an inevitability imo.

this may be one of the reasons for a pause for thought earlier. Somebody remind me when the price gets to 225p

I wish I could earn at the rate these directors think they are entitled to.

now tree shaking is over hopefully a quick push above 150p is due short term - just need a few positive days in the market but its coming - then on and up from there.

The buys will start to come in, its just a matter of patience.

cheers GF.

Added on the spike down. Those selling look rattled by Scott Tods profit warning earlier in the week , but this one as its sites in total y different locations.

We already have had a trading update which was very positive. Sellers must be mad.

cheers GF.

If you read the TA from Scott Tod's recently, the "oh and by the way" at the bottom of the report refers to delays in implementation and deal-signing - both classic causes of SP fall-out.

So, was the stuff about N/wide and government not liking charging for ATM's a little bit of a headline red-herring, I wonder, to distract us from weak management.

I don't like to pay 1.5-5% to take my own cash out - but the banks and Link would certainly charge you as much one way or another to cover the overhead costs of having wider ATM (or branch - remember them) coverage.

CASH is evidently a better run company with better sites and better achievemment by management all round - so let's buy on knee-jerk dips, say I.

I think the degree of price drop in SCD was over reaction. If I had caught announcement I would have sold, hoping to buy again. The price of SCD is starting to recover. I wonder if some clever money switched from Cash to SCD. If so wait for switch back.

I hold both SCD and Cash.

As far as charges on transactions are concerned, would the banks or government be able to do it more conveniently and/or cheaper. I think the charges are here to stay.

I object to 20% spreads etc. I occasionally have to put up with them in hope of making a buck.

Patience please , trade it and you'll get stuffed ... buy and hold imo.
