oh you profit taking so and so's, gone in the blink of an eye.

Oh well, fun while it lasted!

it will come back when profit takers are out of way, like the report says 20p for the time being looks a good bet.

This should help the SP ? (and make a tidy little sum for Godfrey, should it reach 20p+)
