target was 588p, i will try and find the full detail but they put MCA on a buy list

[its the oxman] 18/4/2007 08:40

any price target with that betman?

[betman] 18/4/2007 08:36

Upside yesterday due to Goldman sachs buy recomendation

[ladyfarmer] 17/4/2007 12:10

Looks like a classic t/o opportunity. Sound company suffers a glitch unrelated to their core business but they missed the ball and catastrophic share price reduction results.

Alternatively the downside on the slate co may not be as bad as thought. They behaved well in the circs and perhaps over-provided?

[ed 123] 17/4/2007 11:48

It does look very strong, especially against a weak broader market.

Results should be out in less than two weeks.

If it is leaking, MCA needs to speed up the release.

Just entering big gap up.

Feeling more confident now, although (except for price movement) I don't know any more than I did when it was around 430 pence.

[wad collector] 17/4/2007 10:51

Just market sentiment I suspect.Other people are buying so must be OK now ; Don't want to miss the boat.

[its the oxman] 17/4/2007 08:35

somebody know something here - pace of recovery picking up - 480p now!

[miamisteve] 11/4/2007 13:24

Company guidance was no later than 30th April 2007

[ginger64] 11/4/2007 08:33

can anyone tell me when we expect to recieve the results and what peoples thoughts are?

[its the oxman] 05/4/2007 13:57

hope its not a case of famous last words - but the recovery seems to be gaining strength

[ed 123] 03/4/2007 23:46

The result of the audit draws closer. Maybe some shorts have been closing today. It would be risky holding a margined position when the announcement is made.

The result will determine the health of the cat.

[wad collector] 03/4/2007 20:47

OK , I think it's safe to say this has bottomed out now.I bought in too early but feel confident will eventually rise again.Looking on the positive side , we are about the same price as a year ago.Or is the dead cat about to exenterate?

[seconduser] 27/3/2007 09:30

Anyone watching L2 and the bot putting sell orders in for 600 a time? It's gradually worked the price down today.

[gbb483] 27/3/2007 08:50

On the other hand, this stock didn't take the hammering early March that everything else did. That could be read as a 'virtual recovery' from the slate fiasco.

[miamisteve] 27/3/2007 07:33

The results of the audit into slate and the delayed full year results must be due soon.

IMO this can only be good news as the market discounted a worst case scenario. (The stock lost more than the perceived value of the entire slate business)

[ed 123] 26/3/2007 23:51

Its the OXMAN, it was in the FT, 16 March 2007.

Nice rise in a weak wider market. If it gets above 470p there's a big gap up.

[chrissingh] 26/3/2007 16:29

It is rising when everyone else is falling - there is some great news to come it seems. Buying opportunity? Still good to buy?

[ed 123] 26/3/2007 12:24

Sorry, but ten days on, my memory is not good enough to say which newspaper, but it was mentioned in one of them.

Looking a bit perky this morning :-)

[its the oxman] 26/3/2007 11:56

from who please?

[ed 123] 16/3/2007 10:59

Also there's been mention of possible predatory interest - may explain today's uplift.

[its the oxman] 15/3/2007 10:10

by the way any long term holders know how much of a play mca could be re benefitting from olympics work etc

[its the oxman] 15/3/2007 10:08

bought a few yesterday c.437p, hoping there is not too much downside left - bit of a risk i know with results yet to come, but reckon these could be quite a bit higher this time next year.

[ed 123] 14/3/2007 12:04

No, the cash position of MCA is not affected by the slate issue.

Good opportunity for someone to acquire the Business Services division by bidding for the whole. I don't expect anyone to move until the report on the slate fraud is published - then it's just possible someone might have a go.

400p is possible, who knows?

[spikers] 14/3/2007 10:56

Could this Co run out of cash?
In any case stock is very likely to trade below 400p shortly as the fraud overhang keeps depressing the price.

[rovi57] 13/3/2007 09:39

i hope!!!!!
