I dismissed this company as froth when I first looked at it. Since then the sp has doubled and continues to steadily rise. I looked again and when I saw the countries and contracts this firm is in---I was impressed and bought some to tuck away. anyone else bought in or interested?

I'm a long term holder ... been in since early Wednesday.

Look up the thread I've been suffering here for 2+ years! :-)

lol

I have a core 10,000 holding but trade in and out from there!

The initial consideration is to be satisfied by the issue of 35,925,589 new ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), valued at £24m, based on the closing share price of 66.5p on Friday 31 January, 2014, with an earn-out consideration of up to £36m payable, in Ordinary Shares or cash at Monitise's discretion, on the achievement of aggressive performance-related targets over three years.

good steady sp rise up 5%

Surely lower highs, lower lows now?

So are you selling?

Sold some QPP today and sitting waiting for MONI to settle. Don't currently hold.
As I posted a while back, I have actively traded this stock as I found it a little frustrating that big institutional investors were heavily invested, yet the sp did little for quite a while. I remember the guy in charge threatening to delist here and to move over to the NY stock exchange as he was getting frustrated that investors here weren't taking his company seriously.
Markets are looking a little bit jittery at the moment (Moni's beta is 1.21), so am happy to sit on cash for a week or so. Sub 65p here would interest me!

Unlike QPP & COMS, I don't own these - SB only.

I think we were at 65.5p the other day HARRY .

Oh damn! Now you tell me! ;o)
Was actually fully invested, but am now solvent again, so hunting for opportunities.

last IMS suggests turnover will be up 50%, Visa is a major shareholder and their recent results were pretty good.
