Thanks Fez.

Would like to see somebody come in for a large amount, then see what would happen!

marvelman - this stock always very illiquid - very difficult to ever buy or sell in size.

[marvelman] 24/1/2008 14:39

Must be very short of stock...my 2350 buy over the quoted pushed the share price up immediately.

verynice person - close your eyes and think of the divi.... regards

[veryniceperson] 22/1/2008 07:59

By the look of things we are going to be hit hard today, O well baton down the hatches!

[deadly] 16/1/2008 20:19

Good for you - very brave in this market. They are a good company but many good companies' SP's have suffered recently, and I'm surprised this went up today of all days. Hope it continues but I won't hold my bresth.

[marvelman] 16/1/2008 08:44

Bought in today with a small 2250 purchase as I can no longer hold back. Been watching since it was 60p and have seen it slip away from me ever since. I do believe this is a company with a very big future and in particular I like its market sector...o & G and defence.Regards to all.

Very nice statement. Seems they are trying to get themselves more noticed, which for us shareholders is good.

[fez] 16/1/2008 07:23

I don't think I've ever read such a confident trading statement from Chieftain...

(I hold)



As reported on 16 November 2007, Chieftain's marine and engineering businesses
enjoyed strong trading conditions in 2007 and these continued to the year end.
The year finished in line with those revised management expectations.

As a result of these and other contracts won, Chieftain finished 2007 with its
strongest ever order book at around £65 million.

Bill Taylor, Chief Executive, said: 'I believe that the contracts we are winning
are clear evidence of the success of the Board's strategy to develop the Group
through its core areas of business. Chieftain is fighting fit and we continue
to view 2008 with confidence.'

verynicw - you were saying...

[veryniceperson] 14/1/2008 14:03

You know what the market makers are like, on the other hand could be a delayed to come through.

[targatarga] 14/1/2008 13:59

those irritating little sells really get me....

[jeff h] 28/12/2007 15:02

Oops you're right vnp - March it should be

[veryniceperson] 28/12/2007 14:50

Results are out in March jeff (finals) unless brought forward

[jeff h] 28/12/2007 14:32

Yes tt a couple of Buys and 1 x 3k Sell....results out next month and
more information to chew over then

[targatarga] 28/12/2007 14:10

jeff - well done. i'm hanging in for the long haul... the trades at 189 look like buys to me, any thoughts? regards

[jeff h] 27/12/2007 20:13

..probably bought near the same time as you tt...my first purchase 3/3/00
@ 45.75p....though managed to buy lower in March 04 at a bit over 37p

[targatarga] 27/12/2007 12:14

I've been adding to my position in these for 7 years. So far I see no reason to sell. regards

[jeff h] 26/12/2007 19:23

...can't be many stocks where the 2007 profit Forecast has been increased by
20% in the last few weeks...no benefit from the aircraft carrier work
either.

[targatarga] 26/12/2007 15:52

chart looking good ... happy new year everyone.

[jeff h] 22/12/2007 13:22

New forecast & Buy Rec by Brewin & Dolphin 20/12/07;-

Y/E 31/12/07 Pre Tax £2.0m EPS 15.95p Div 5.5p
Y/E 31/12/08 Pre Tax £2.2m EPS 17.54p Div 6.0p

Yes, david you'd expect 2007 results to be a little above the new forecast
so 17p EPS for the current year seems very likely and then after the 2007
results a revised 2008 forecast.

Looks as though the 60k trade yesterday was a Buy so someone seems confident.

[davidosh] 19/12/2007 11:22

I suspect eps will come in around 17p if guidance has been given so late in the year and after such a bullish trading update. So last three years would be...

2005....5.46p eps

2006...11.90p eps

2007...16p ++ eps

2008... ?? (I expect over 20p with the order book still ballooning)

Not to forget nearly 50p net cash too

All that growth and cash for a fwd p/e of under ten

Looking very good to me..

[jeff h] 19/12/2007 08:57

New Forecast out by Brewins... pre tax profit raised by £0.3m this year
and next year (£2.0m & £2.2m)

[veryniceperson] 17/12/2007 15:46

I hold 3 stocks 2 have put out very good trading statements and are both falling. Must be the climate. Never mind batten down the hatches. Think the results are out March.
