Depends on how one buys and sells.  Long term investment or quick profit.  Each to his own!   ZXZ

I like excellent dividends and long term growth, that's why I invested in GVC!  ££$

Yes indeed, a name I have heard of often. Good history.  Z**

Of course, not the only company worth investing in, plenty of others out there.    ZXZ

Merddyn,
I looked into GVC when I was reading about it on here a few years back.
I ended up buying some for a punt.
My goodness, one of the best share tips I've ever known and it was for free and I have added more over the years.
Thank you whoever it was who first mentioned them!

There seems to be quite a few GVC shareholders locally, I've met a couple over the years.  $good$

I agree that Tesco, based on the performance over the past years, is definitely not an outstanding investment.  But there was the little window where there was an opportunity to make a speculative investment to achieve a short term gain. A more steady retailer is Home Retail Group who saw a drop in value on the announcement of the closure of some Homebase Stores, but then have seen a steady rise on the announcement of the new plans for the Group, which includes Argos Stores.  Definitely a better bet than Tesco!

Dunelm Mill has been a very good share over the last few years, good steady growth.

Speaking of GVC, another nice trading update and juicy dividend today announced today.  $good$

Perhaps I should move all the share related stuff into a separate 'Investments' thread.

EDIT: That's just what I've done.

Ahem,  GVC Gaming continues its meteoric rise, and today has posted its biggest ever one day rise.

Dave R, the drinks are on me.... the statue of you has been ordered, and now I can afford a couple of sapphires for the eyes.
I know other forum members are in this too.

Congratulations once again to all on here who invested in GVC Holdings. Another stellar set of results announced yesterday and the price passed briefly through £8 for the first time before falling back slightly due to profit taking. They were 90p when I bought my first tranche. $good$

Yes excellent results, I bought in at around 115p 6 years ago, will always be grateful for your advice on this !   $good$
