Last time it broke from a year long range it doubled, so a repeat will take it to £10 but I'll settle for £9!

[stoxx67] 25/5/2016 10:28

superb, many thanks.

Promised additional dividend policy already so dividend 2y 20p+. Cash generation continuing they have no borrowing and 15m cash, so possible buy backs. Teletubbies with expansion worldwide next year, solid base of brands and progressive expansion policy with new lines, I see 160-180m as reasonable 2 year objective for t/o ,a re rating on 20m profit ,so eps of 80p, 9.50 a share 2 year view, but may come sooner.
Teletubbies worldwide could change this with dollar earnings suddenly much higher the dollar climbing 15% in two years may unleash foreign income, if it becomes a popular program and toy line the sky is the limit then to create excitement in the share.

what target price do you have, or indeed what price do you perceive fair value ?

[mcartdon] 24/5/2016 14:29

pepa pig at entertaiment one sales up 9% over year. more good news for character sales.

[mcartdon] 23/5/2016 07:46

yup dividend soon and more buying on the back of that, its a no brainer that its cheep at this level, post June this should be higher.
Not tempted to sell here.

[thorpematt] 22/5/2016 15:49

Most of last week's trades going in at close to the offer price and thus a good indicator of desire for the stock I would say. Certainly I do not think this is trading at fair value as yet so most holders reluctant to let go of stock.

Solid buying again today.

Looking good on the longer term chart now with a clear breakout after many months of going sideways.

NT commenting briefly on the shares again today:

"Character Group produced a nice statement and shares have been rising now quite nicely, hopefully a rating up to 600 coming."

[durham dealer] 19/5/2016 15:26

Yes a bit of volume :-)
14:05:28 558.2000 10,000 OK
14:58:43 562.6000 20,000 O
14:58:23 562.6000 10,000 O

[mcartdon] 19/5/2016 13:51

moving up strongly 552.50, buyers at 558.

[tromso1] 16/5/2016 13:33

Plenty of buyers today looking at the trades.

[davr0s] 13/5/2016 09:09

Taken initial position this morning - breakouts from period of long consolidation often the best and very sound fundamentals too. What's not to like?

[noteworthy5] 12/5/2016 16:12

RENE the next 50 bagger?



Not many people seem to be aware of Reneuron's exosome cancer treatment but it is another possible multi-billion market on top of their blockbusters for stroke and retinitis pigmentosa.

They trial the cancer treatment in humans next year - 2017. If it only takes 18 days to be effective they should have early results very quickly. British Biotech went to £2.5 billion on hope for its cancer drug and its worth a bet RENE's will really work.

Include RENE's various treatments for stroke etc (now ending in Phases 2 and 1) and retinitis pigmentosa (in Phase 1/2) and it could be a 50 bagger.

Former Invesco fund manager Neil Woodford recently increased his stake in RENE to 35% @ 5p.

[tromso1] 12/5/2016 15:48

Largest shareholders here:



Possible that it could be Miton since 2 of their key fund managers left recently and the company has been selling a number of positions.

A holdings RNS should appear soon enough to clarify the situation.

[h1a3] 12/5/2016 14:57

Over 1.25M sales. Who has sold them? A director? Curious to know.
Importantly I now expect the price to move towards the £6 mark.

[thorpematt] 12/5/2016 14:03

NT been doing this a while now. Uncanny in some of his predictions.
From apurely technical point of view what he said looks rather likely IMO.

From a more fundamental point of view this is far too cheap and I'm surprised it's taken this long to break the previous resistance.

[tromso1] 12/5/2016 12:57

NT was also a buyer judging by his Apr 7th post

"Moving away from new issues I've added some toy company Character (CCT) shares.

Looks very cheap and with teletubbies going well, could be a decent statement coming soon. The shares tend to do nothing for ages then suddenly re-rate. And they have done nothing for ages!

Half-year results are due on the 27th April. I notice last year the shares went up quite a lot following results. So maybe history will repeat itself. It's possible the shares could re-rate from a fiver up to 600p."

[tromso1] 12/5/2016 12:52

"A breakout above the 535p key resistance level would also confirm the multi-month share price consolidation period is over, a signal well worth following in my view. Trading on a bid-offer spread of 510p to 525p, I rate Character's shares a strong buy and have a fair value price range between 625p and 675p. Buy."

[tromso1] 12/5/2016 12:51

Yes, there has been plenty of buying with no movement at all in recent sessions. But today the buys after the large trades finally seem to be moving price.

[orange1] 12/5/2016 12:48

Yes, I get the impression that Panmures have been looking to shift this stock for quite some weeks. Before the results, they were the cheapest price on the offer. Now this is out of the way, the price might easily rise on the back of a few buys and a shortage of stock. It´s been the pattern before.

[tromso1] 12/5/2016 12:46

Could start motoring now.

Virtually no online stock, and if price breaks out then the momentum traders will start to buy.
