Up 9p already today.

Good news about the results leaking out?

Re Irish economy - I am a non CPL holder but I live in the Republic of Ireland so thought I'd share ( no pun intended ) my views.

The Irish economy has been severely boosted by the construction sector. Foreign workers are mainly working in the construction industry and usually find work through recruitment agencies.

Between now and June next year the SSIAs will mature so there will be a lot of money floating around the Irish economy. This money will be spend on cars, holidays &, yep, houses.

Once the SSIA's are over I would expect the government to fiddle with stamp duty ( probably for investors ) so that some demand will remain for housing. However I don't see a sustained interest in the property sector as house prices here ( especially in Dublin ) are crazy.

The manufacturing side is too expensive as well and the foreign companies have or are packing up their factories and are moving the the eastern european countries. labor costs here are just to high. The gov't need to drop corporation tax to be more competitive for a start.

Just be wary of investing in Irish companies.

I invest in shares full time and hold only two Irish shares ( ANGL & UDG ) and if you look up my threads about those two you'll see why. I simply can't find any better Irish shares then those two.

All above is only my opinion and am only trying to help.

Good Luck.

Nor am I to be honest. Just a bit surprised that you thought the past was a good guide for the future. I dont think the markets are that simple. For example, just because a share has gone up 7x already doesnt mean it will go up another 7x. Thats all.

[primrose 100] 23/8/2006 18:14

Dusty,

I did know that. I'm not reallty clear what point you are trying to make.

[dusty35] 23/8/2006 17:11

Primrose, the past is no guide to future performance. Im disappointed you didnt know that.

[primrose 100] 21/8/2006 08:42

Dusty,

It's up 7 times in three years. I'd hardly call it a dog!

It doesn't tend to do that much between results admittedly, but when they come in it always takes a big leap forward.

[dusty35] 14/8/2006 13:29

Why does this stock never move - its such a dog!!!

[primrose 100] 07/8/2006 16:06

Dusty,

I don't follow it that closely I'm afraid.

If that's true, then it's obviously not great news for CPL.

My view is that there is plenty of slack in the price & the management team have done wonderfully well in both benigh & not so benign conditions.I still like them a lot.

[dusty35] 07/8/2006 13:17

Hi Primrose, good to have you back. Have you seen the latest employment growth data coming out of IReland - I've heard that the economy is a bubble and is slowing? Is this true. Is it bad for CPL?

[primrose 100] 04/8/2006 12:09

Dusty,

They can't buy any more.

They already own nearly all of it.

[dusty35] 04/8/2006 10:09

Im worried about this one. The economy in Ireland looks like a bubble. Why havent the management been buying?

[primrose 100] 15/5/2006 10:26

As I remember, the CEO still owns a massive stake in CPL. They've hardly offloaded any shares.

Is it a Non exec position at Anglo Irish?

Might be a networking opportunity for them?

Just a thought.

[dusty35] 12/5/2006 11:42

Bit worried by CPL - are the management losing focus - why is the CEO taking a job at Anglo Irish????? Is this a worrying signal?

[primrose 100] 11/5/2006 08:46

The inexorable rise continues.

[primrose 100] 28/4/2006 15:25

It's always quiet on this board.

Despite the fact that the share price is up more than 500% over the last 2 or 3 years.

Funny really.

Great little company though.

[niggle] 28/4/2006 10:12

Very quiet.....

[primrose 100] 11/4/2006 13:04

What makes you think that?

[dusty35] 11/4/2006 09:50

Does anyone know why CPL is making acquisitions - bit worried that they are flushing money down the toilet.

[primrose 100] 10/4/2006 09:06

Inexorable rise of CPL continues.

Won't be long before it clears the £3 mark.

Great little company.

[niggle] 07/2/2006 12:27

This was tipped in Quantum Leap last week. Didn't have the same effect it had on IBG which was also tipped.

[napa] 01/2/2006 18:23

Two big sells of over 327,000 shares today and share price remains resilient.

[dusty35] 27/1/2006 06:55

Thanks Primrose - why would you sell if you were Director of the company - you seem quite positive so thought you would be buying?

[primrose 100] 26/1/2006 13:22

Dusty,

If I was a Director in the company I would be tempted to do the same.

They have used the strong demand for the stock to lock in profits & diversify their assets a bit.

It looks like they managed to offload without hurting the stock price at all (which is a nice trick if you can pull it off).
