ILX is interesting, but it has always looked cheap, and stil gets cheaper - I'm sure the market is telling investors something isn't right there. I've gone to buy them seceral times and resisted thankfully. I'd be interested in a shout if that chart ever changed to the good very suddenly.

Lord Gnome:

0647 GMT [Dow Jones] Smiths News' (NWS.LN) agreement to buy Dawson holdings (DWN.LN) in a deal that values Dawson at GBP17.262 million is not really the strategic move that investors would have hoped for, says a London-based analyst. "It's not really what the market was looking for," says the analyst. "Their war chest is much bigger than that" and they could have made a larger acquistion. Shares closed at 94p on Monday.

The only logic I can come up with (and its not good for their investors) is that they were holders from £1+ times, and with a 90% loss they have somehow written it off, or whoever is making the decisions is wanting to show how they are exiting their mistake.

I have visions of this kind of conclusion at a fund meeting. 'I dont care what theyre doing now, we're down 90%, just get out, and get out at a market price, i dont want our investors seeing that having already lost them a packet we lose a load more by getting out at a big discount' *bangs desk*

Maybe thats just my vivid imagination. Anyway a good week for holders, and good prospects ahead.

Techinvest didnt waste any time getting their holding announcement out.

Marlborough Fund Managers, i think thats run by Giles Hargreave, a very successful small cap investor, but im not sure of their fund structures

Great to see buyers picking up these schroders sells. I assume a lot are new investors too, otherwise we'd be seeing more RNS's, as 250k is a third of the way of having to RNS the holding whilst in bid situation.

I really dont understand schroders logic here, all theyre doing is holding back the future value of their remaining, but still significant holding. If these buyers were have to be filled by other means, price would be a lot higher now.

Does anyone know if nominee accounts are suppsoed to declare their holdings? Brewin made a declaration i think that their totals included client funds. I have mine with Barlcays Stockbrokers, Im just surprised that knowing the buying ive been doing, added to their other customers they havent had to make a notification, unless nominees dont need to, just the individual investors if they hit 1%

The future for John Menzies, the aviation services-to-newspaper distribution company, was looking rosy in March when its shares fell to a lowly 43p. Investors' concern over debt and the tanking aviation and media markets weighed on the price. But since then, it has staged a remarkable rally. Menzies has helped itself by keeping a tight rein on costs, paying down that debt and winning new aviation and newspaper contracts. Despite the soaring shares John Menzies still only trades on a forward 2009 price to earnings ratio of 8.6. This leaves us to believe that its recovery still has wings, despite operating in two of the more challenging sectors over the short term. Buy recommends the Independent.

So in this contrast(John Menzies), DWN also the same player and in the same industry, looking their last few RNS...the Share price is very very undervalued.....Too cheap, Any comment any 1?

Good news week for Dawson
Peter Stiff: Smaller companies

As a bad news story, Dawson Holdings could easily have figured in the pages of the newspapers that it handles. In a terrible year, its main newspaper and magazine distribution business was destroyed after a succession of customers cancelled contracts and turned to its rivals.

But there was good news for investors yesterday when the company said that it remained confident about its prospects, despite tough trading. Dawson reassured investors that its continuing businesses, which supply newspapers and magazines to airlines, books to libraries and provide marketing services, were sound and cash-generative. The shares rose 2¾p to 9¾p.

Hugh Cawley, the chief executive, said that the group's three remaining businesses were continuing to trade normally and that the management had confidence in their future.

There is some hope that the shares recovery signals the end of the recession.

FTSE 100: stock market has best month in more than six years
The stock market has enjoyed its best month in more than six years, boosting the savings of millions of investors and bringing hope that the worst of the recession may be over...

...This week, both Nationwide and the Land Registry reported a further increase in house prices, while consumer confidence and retail spending are no longer falling at record rates.

Nationwide even suggested house prices could do the "unthinkable" and finish the year higher than they started.

Richard Hunter, of financial advisers Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "It looks increasingly likely that we have hit the bottom of the recession. But it's too early to say it's a recovery."

Much of the money invested in the stock market is owned by pension funds, and millions of households have their savings invested in shares through Individual Savings Accounts.

looks tempting on weakness, say sub 60, like the yield very much

22.01.09: +1.5, (78.5) an article in the Times reports: Dawson Holdings fell 8.75p to 73p amid high volume, as Altium sold 500,000 shares at 77p for an investor, thought to be Liontrust Asset Management, the second-biggest shareholder after Schroders.
