Thanks Tom. Me neither now!

[tom.muir] 01/7/2010 14:16

neither now. lol
but was a direct shareholder

[jl9] 01/7/2010 14:00

Hi Tom, are you a direct shareholder or through a nominee?

[tom.muir] 01/7/2010 12:48

Got my cheque this morning :-))

[tom.muir] 25/5/2010 08:05

I realise that - but it's only a week old. And the 'prospective' one for 2010 was (from memory) 23p but only came in at 20p.

[eagle eye] 24/5/2010 21:29

This is an historic figure. Take a look at the prospective one.

[tom.muir] 20/5/2010 10:16

Eps for 2010 was 20p. A price of £2.25 gives a PER of 11.25.

A derisory takeout price for a fast growing company.
Its hard to believe that Melorio directors see fit to recommend a takeout PER of around 7 for the current year.
A PER of 10 would have been nearer the mark and that would have been far from generous.

It's certainly not an over-generous offer but there has never been much enthusiasm in the market for this share, despite its good prospects, and I think that if it was left to it's own devices it would have taken over a year at least to hit £2.
So I'm happy enough to take a 50% profit, after holding for about eight months.

[jl9] 19/5/2010 08:09

Agreed, too cheap. Its worth more to Pearson.

[stegrego] 19/5/2010 08:06

Another company robbed from shareholders at a stupid rating.


Ah well, time to sell up - at least the cash will come in handy in this market...

[evaluate] 19/5/2010 07:45

Drat.

I also looked at these at 120p & planned to come back at a later date.

Looksl like I'm too late now.

Congrats to all holders.

"Recommended cash offer from Pearson plc of 225 pence per ordinary share" is too cheap.

[wjccghcc] 18/5/2010 19:24

Nice. Wish I had a few more but never quite got comfortable with the govt funding dependence.

[stegrego] 18/5/2010 18:18

Cheers Riv,

Bit disappointed if it only goes this high though - thats only a p/e of about 7

Surely 250p is a bare minimum?

[interceptor2] 18/5/2010 16:06

Yes well done to all holders here, I was in this last year but never got back in.

It shows how much value there is at this time.

[rivaldo] 18/5/2010 15:58

Well done Steg et al - looked at MLO from 100p and never got round to buying it. C'est la vie!

[topinfo] 18/5/2010 15:50

Offer for Company RNS.

[cornishman33] 18/5/2010 15:32

Nice rise before results tomorrow

[eagle eye] 13/5/2010 14:08

Thanks for your comment robward.
I'm more interested in the forward outlook statement in the results, for as you say, the trading update contained comprehensive details of what to expect.
Not all investors will have read the trading update, even though it has been in the public domain for some time. Hopefully the results will bring some new investors on board.

[robward] 13/5/2010 13:22

Hello Eagle Eye
We had a new all time high back in June only for the stock to fall back 30%. As a fellow holder i hope we get more upside this time. I think we know pretty much what the results will contain, it was all in the Trading Update.

Regards

Rob Ward

Chart breakout for MLO today and new all time high.
Hopefully a good omen for the results due out later this month.

[dnfa1975] 13/5/2010 10:54

The funding was brought forward last year so these are backward looking results. i guess this one is being worked up ahead of a fundraising


Up to 40,000 public sector jobs could go within 12 months of a Conservative election victory under plans drawn up by the party's efficiency chief. No point training if there are no jobs.

[dasv] 13/5/2010 10:44

Wish I hadn't sold these on my Friday wobble. I bought in on the basis of techs and fundamentals but sold because the DOW 1000 point oscillation spooked me.

Chart looks great for 200+ IMHO. PEG is low on this stock too.

[simon gordon] 23/4/2010 21:48

When I came across MLO on Wednesday, as it hit a 52 week high, I thought it looked great value for a growth stock, upon reflection there is too much uncertainty about funding for 2012, which I just can't fathom because I have very little knowledge of the vocational marketplace. I see that Octopus and Schroders have been trimming their positions, SCSW has gone negative, yet the share powers on up. Tricky share to gauge, it's tempting with the growth but is it sustainable in the medium term?
