Posted at 22/7/2014 21:37 by simon templar qc Panther ramblings can be found here....Its all very well Andrew Perloff sitting in his chair in a high and mighty manner criticising as he does, but all who gain their wealth these days do not gift their wealth to the nation and look after their workers like the Lever Family did by building decent houses for their workers. Or the Carnegie trust who provided 400 libraries. You tell that to all those decent hard working families who have lost their jobs at Elektron over the years having been made redundant and all the investors who have seen their finances decimated as well. Much of the criticism is justly deserved today greed has replaced charity in the majority of cases. Mr Perloff needs to look in his own backyard before he comments on others, glass houses and all that as well. |
Posted at 22/7/2014 14:50 by simon templar qc topvestYou have to also ask what Andrew Perloff game is as well prior to Simon Peter's departure. He has done nothing for the smaller shareholders of Elektron I consider that foolish! He has simply watched the company directors almost destroy the company and I wrote to Mr Perloff a number of time warning him of what was going on as I am a major investor in Elektron. In fact Judith Mackenzie from Downing sought the removal of Keith Daley the Chairman of Elektron and Mr Andrew Perloff would not support his removal. Seems to me what goes around comes around! |
Posted at 01/7/2014 12:02 by knitcraft Something behind the scenes? share price moving up, delayed reporting. Something to keep quiet?Worth a punt on a t/o with assets well over current share price and property investor as largest shareholder. |
Posted at 08/1/2014 09:34 by oldtown It's hard to imagine how the Christmas trading has been anything else than awful when looking at other retailers trading updates.Indeed some would say outdated 1980's style offering at Beales and lack of web sales depth would leave any reasoned investor wondering how they can grow sales and margins in this climate? I can't really see any escape for this company (save the three year banking deal ) and looking at the almost desperate recent sale adverts on probably one the weakest retail website you will ever know, I'm betting all is not well.Still as always i would be happy to be proved wrong by the figures. aimho |
Posted at 28/12/2013 19:05 by simon templar qc All very interesting thanks for your research here. Some of Beale stores aren't freehold I know that as I have one near me in Southport, Interestingly its in a good position and probably one of the better stores but I reckon the rents are high. I obtained some pictures for AP a few years ago as he is also an investor in Elektron which I hold and have communicated with AP a number of times. He is a canny investor but more interested in property than understands other companies. He tends to buy into a company and invests into his pension scheme. He has also taken a hit in Albermarle & Bond recently the company looks close to administration.Anyway I am certain he is in Beale for its properties rather than clued up on retailers. I'm not an investor here but interested to see how it pans out. |

Posted at 24/1/2006 11:32 by lbo In its present state, Beale, which has 11 department stores in towns ranging from Bolton and Kendal to Winchester and Worthing, is not an attractive investment proposition. Although the group registered a 7 per cent rise in like-for-like sales during the 11 weeks to 14 January its margins are in decline. Meanwhile, the company is burdened by a £6.9m pension fund deficit, and brokers are forecasting only a very modest profit from the group in the current year.The broker Seymour Pierce is expecting it to notch up a £200,000 pre-tax profit by the end of 2006, which leaves Beale shares trading at a hefty 90 times earnings. Hope that the retailer could be taken over is the only reason its stock enjoys such a rating, but Seymour Pierce is sceptical about such an outcome. Beale is believed to have held bid talks with House of Fraser at the start of last year. However these came to nothing, and a rerun of the negotiations ending with a deal looks unlikely after yesterday's results from the group. Investors would do well to sell Beale stock at current levels. |

Posted at 10/6/2002 07:39 by bullshare Byrdsong. See what you mean, blimey.The Abbey National Group has today brought forward the release of its pre-close statement for the period to 30 June 2002, ahead of tomorrow's strategy update presentation on the Wholesale Bank. Profit before tax for the year is now expected to be substantially lower than current market expectations, and last year. In particular, first half results are expected to show profits significantly below the second half of 2001. Key points: • The weaker result will be driven primarily by additional provisioning and write-offs in the Wholesale Bank. This follows a decision to take a more conservative and anticipatory approach to provisioning in 2002. • The largest part of Wholesale Banking provisioning and write-offs is expected to be taken in the first half, with the total for this period expected to be comparable with the total for the full year 2001. In the second half, levels are expected to fall below the total of the comparable period of 2001. Provisions and write-offs are expected to reduce substantially to more normal levels in 2003. • Lower sales of with-profit bonds than originally expected also contribute to the weaker outlook, partly reflecting lack of investor confidence in the equity markets. • The Group's businesses are otherwise operating largely as expected. • Decisive action is being taken, with a new Group Finance Director and management teams in the Wholesale Bank and the Wealth and Long Term Savings division. • A materially improved performance is expected in the second half of the year, primarily due to lower provisioning and write-offs in the Wholesale Bank, as well as a range of operating improvements. • Reflecting confidence in the business fundamentals, the Group remains committed to its progressive dividend policy. However, the rate of dividend growth in 2002 is expected to be lower than last year, reflecting a cautious view on the current trading conditions. |
Posted at 09/6/2002 14:37 by paulismyname An interesting week beckons ahead for Paulismyname, there is, I believe, the Telewest annual meeting on Tuesday, my training session with Global on the same day, and of course the market direction or "the trend".First of all, the market trend. I have been active as an investor for long enough to witness 3 major market corrections, that is 1974, 1987, and 1992. 1974 and 1987 were both market corrections downwards due to overbuying and economic factors, 1992 was a major correction up due to our exit from the exchange control mechanism. In all three cases the ultimate lesson to learn is that to quote Mrs Thatcher "you cannot buck the market". The FT100 index is weighted, that is it places undue preference on the stocks at the top of the index. If however you strip out the likes of Vodafone and Arm the underlying index shows a very different picture from that of the graph. In fact according to newspaper reports there has been modest growth in some sectors over the last 6 months, which translated to a theoretical un-weighted index would produce growth of around 5%. Of course this trend is confirmed by Croc's NASDAQ graph above, i.e. nearly the entire dot com and technology growth of 1998 and 1999 is now factored out. Perhaps this is best illustrated by a insert I sent somebody this last week................ "This fund at the moment invests in a wide unrestricted range of what we could perhaps call "technology" plays, not necessarily confined to pure Internet or Bio Technology stocks only. Quite clearly the fund is going to have worldwide investments in markets where the value of your investments can also be influenced by currency movements as well as perceived intrinsic value. I would also point out that despite old and trusted methods of stock valuation (such as investing in something that actually makes a profit) technology stock has a reputation of ignoring reality, although in fairness this can work both ways such as Microsoft with its cash mountain of $36 billion increasing at $1 billion per month at present" So has the time come for the brave investor to call the bottom of the Tech market collapse and bottom pick selected stocks for growth in a future bull market. That's a debatable point. On a longer-term basis I would not have too many worries in buying Microsoft long at $51 odd dollars, of course when ADFVN launches its NASDAQ and Dow level 1 and 2 service I would actively consider shorter term trading as well. But what about another hobbyhorse of mine located in the UK, i.e. a belief in broadband Internet access and Telewest. Well on a shorter-term basis I have learned to trade what I see, and there is no doubt a buy bot was active on Telewest Friday last week (I was out all day so did not comment) A small one to be sure but nearly every minute a 1000 AT buy went through. In terms of my criteria mentioned above of actually creating a profit a lot depends on other peoples appetite for broadband access combined with the "triple play" concept. At the end of the day and regardless of short term tactics the truth is quite simple, with sufficient growth in new customers Telewest will survive, without growth it will sink without trace, although there is debate about "sufficient". Finally I look forward to my training session on Tuesday. For all those who read but do not post I would reemphasis that training in short term market movements is essential if you want to turn a hobby or interest into profit, in other words despite the "free" nature of the Internet in real life nothing changes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. |
