    That's it - 12.9p and I'm out.

    Around £2,100 made overnight - less dealing charges and tax.

    I do lose sometimes, but this was such a sure fire winner you would be mad not to.

    I haven't even paid my £10,000 - it has remained in my account.

    Excellent :D

    Congratulations to those who followed my lead to stag the shares.

    Whereas you get let out far too often.

    I'll give you that one .... as I'm in a good mood having just made £2100 overnight - that's nearly 3 days wages - so, I shall laugh with you.

    That was a good joke by DervProf.

    Well done on your profit, I'm doing the same with the FTSE trying to capitalise on the volatility., I'm out at the moment but will buy back in around 5,000 if it drops to that. I've been burned before on single shares though so I wouldn't have touched this. It looked too risky to me.

    If you are earning > £700 per day, why get so excited about earning a few quid on some shares ?

    Seems you are one of those relatively wealthy people who likes to tell everyone about it. How do you earn this £700+ per day, rolyalty payments from Harry Enfield ?

    Congratulations to all those that were able to time their buys yesterday at the perfect point to make the large returns today, especially when the SP was up and down like a !!!!!'s draws. It's hard to do that, so well done!

    Thank you :)

    I admit, I was sweating a little bit for a while.

    3 quid is a lot to lose, nearly 4 packs of Werthers Originals in fact.

    This strikes me as a large company that has failed to move with the times, they have tried to be everything to everyone and specialized in nothing.

    Yes, they are a generalist travel agent but to say they have no specialisms is unfair. They have an excellent cruise division, I've booked through them a couple of times and they've been fantastic. DH works for an airline, so we never buy a package, but they've worked with us to get some fantastic cruise only rates. The cruise division is staffed by highly knowledgeable staff working from their own homes in a virtual call centre set-up, I hope they manage to salvage that.
