Gable Holdings Inc (LON:GAH) fell 17.3% today to 44.45p, extending its loss from Friday. Based on my observations of similar situations, a local bottom will be made within 3 days, say, followed by a strong bounce. One for the short-term traders, I think. No position right now, but that might change if I’m willing to take a short-term gamble on a rebound.

Cupid (LON:CUP) gained 8.3% to 78.00p as the independent review by KPMG said “there was found to be no evidence of a Company organised practice of staff enticing registered members to subscribe through use of fake profiles.” There were “a number of areas where existing controls and practices could be improved” – but the overall tone of the RNS was very positive.

Environmental Recycling Technologies (LON:ENRT) fell 7.8% to 0.8300p. This recently caught my attention on a scan of the bulletin boards. Looking at 10-year data, it has never made a profit. Its maximum revenue has been £1.1m, although recently revenue is £0.0m (actually £40k). The number of shares in issues has ballooned more than tenfold over a decade. It’s z-score is -21.03, which is must be close to setting some kind of record. “Cannot Recommend A Purchase”. No position.

Dixons Retail (LON:DXNS) gained 2.2% today to 42p – although I am a little wary of it. I’m in two minds as to what to do here, and whether I should take my profits from the recent gains. Analysts seem to be reducing their 2014 forecasts, and the heavy…
