Welcome aboard LG. share price and level 2 seems to have lost its bounciness for the time being, and I see that as a buying opportunity again. Have a fair few here, 12 / 18 months ago this was seen as a boring / safe but steady income stock, and I think confidence will slowly return here over the next few years. In the meantime we should have a 9% yield to look foreward to. Full yr results not far away now, which will not be great but more important is the outlook and with new contracts and old contracts renegotiated I am looking for a sunny one.

looking cheap but ongoing pressures suggest the bad news is not all over - would be nice to see some sizeable purchases by the directors/management to instill confidence best to wait for the next results i think

Funny how you can look at the same chart with a different view. My view is that this is a risky (before the signal is confirmed) double / triple bottom trend reversal pattern. I completely agree though that I could be completely wrong, but the IMS statement and recent broker notes seems to be supporting my view. Bgt a few more today at £1.60ish for the ISA. Bottom fishing is a risky game!

At any rate we shall know who is right in the near future IMO, as do not expect it to stay at these levels for long.

Over the years debt has increased steadily, ostensibly to finance growth but in reality to support the dividend. Recent acquisitions seem to have been problematic at best. Whatever the strengths of the historical core mutual management business the current raggle taggle of loosely related companies is a strategic mess. Realising any sort of value requires far more management and financial resources than this group can offer.

well I have been adding again at these levels. Company has given an OK IMS with better prospects for 2011. In the last 9 years they have grown T/O, and profit in 8 of them, and have increased the dividend in every one. The last 2 broker notes (in November) was a buy from Altium and a Hold from RBS.

The market for these shares is very small and the share price has fallen back on very little volume.

For all these reasons I believe, this is trading at the wrong price and presents a good opportunity for PI's to pick up a cheap, high yielding, solid company, but as ever time will tell.

capital protection is much more important than possibly missing a big gain.

remember that if CTR is taken out for £3 next week!

yes, solarno, see above. steer well clear. a second profit warning is probably more likely than not.

on a more general note, any stock that is not well clear of its bear market low by now has probably not been overlooked by the market. the profess services market looked extremely attractive to me some months ago on a value-basis, but the string of complete disasters since then (ROK, CNT, MCHL, TRB etc.) must be a signal that the market actually got it right

Net Tangible Asset Value PS * -45.27 p
Net Asset Value PS 182.56 p

assuming the above is right, i'd steer clear. loads of goodwill from their string of acquisitions, i can't put a value on very much of it

bgt a few here for the first time. Reasons incl:

1) Nice yield
2) Looks solid, well run recession proof company
3) Chart shows possible bounce off double bottom - could also of course go lower from here to form new lows. Thats the risk you take
4) Solid institution ownership (with many adding over the last 6 / 12 months
5) Directors adding in April and June this year.

Hope I bring you other holders luck

There really is nothing in the interim statement to make you want to buy the shares. Looking through the operational highlights, no area of the business increased their profit contribution and from reading the outlook statement, future prospects look uncertain.

Until there is more tangible proof of a turnaround I think the share price is likely to remain stagnant, so you can't help but think that there are better options elsewhere.
