Just wanted to say that although I have just sold MyTravel in the share competition - because looking at the portfolio of the leader there is no way I could win otherwise - this could be a buy.

The impending announcement of a deal with bondholders may see movement in the shareprice. Current movements could be antipating that.
 
goldsmithnew - all your posts today could easily be interpreted as ramping. Please be aware that ramping of stocks is not permissible on these boards, so perhaps you will tone down your posts and use some technical analysis to substantiate your claims.
 
Apologies and explanation

Sorry if my posts looked suspicious.

I really don't have any technical analysis - I invest based upon instinct, and by following company news.

I have been buying MyTravel since December, when I paid 27p. I have since bought at 11p, 16p, and 18.5p.

There were only two possibilities for this company - collapse or an eventual dramatic recovery in share price. The markets are currently acting very erratically, punishing share prices in a completely OTT way on any bad news. MT has been one of the biggest victims of this.

Allied to this has been the undervaluation of holiday and airline companies. Bear in mind that Airtours - the MT predecessor - was the fastest rising UK share following the end of the Gulf War.

Bear in mind also that Tom Farmer, director of MT and KwikFit founder, has allegedly been buying in the 10-20p range.
 
goldsmithnew - we've received complaints about your postings above, as they appear to be worded in a way which constitutes ramping, despite my asking you not to.

Therefore, I have had to edit both the above posts to remove the worst, as well as the thread title.
 
That is really pathetic.

Ramping is the deliberate spreading of rumours known to be false. None of my messages expressed anything other than personal instinct, opinion, or fact.

Besides, who but an idiot would actually buy a share based on opinions expressed on an anonymous board without looking into the stock in detail themselves.

I stand by my comments, and withdraw my apology.

This is the nanny state mentality gone mad.

Then I request that this thread be removed to save the site from ramping.

Fwiw, goldmithnew, I think MT offers a good trading buy opp as well.Results are next week and they said they expect the refinance to be done by 2nd week in June.I'm waiting for a suitable entry point before the results and will very likely do a rather large long on this dog.
I was happy to see a nice weak auction close today and hope we get some weakness on it tommorow.Failing that , I'll take the plunge if it threatens 20p on the upside.

These sets minnows are proving to be nice for scalping at the moment ie. All rubbish is bouncing at the mo.
Good Luck.
 
All the regulars know where you're coming from. The newcomers may not. Keep the supporting facts with your stocks and your posts will be ok.

Arguably the 9th September, 2002 RNS (where he bought at 129.5p) is much more useful as this gives an indication of Sir Tom Farmer's investing record in this share.
