Posted at 07/1/2005 11:29 by bulls hit bears From Citywire Monday 03 January 2005 DEREK STUART, ARTEMIS Artemis UK Special Situations (Artemis UK Special Situations) manager Derek Stuart, AAA-rated by Citywire thinks the market will be 'pretty much unchanged' next year. He said: 'The economic headwinds will make going slow, at best the market will grow in the low single digits percentage-wise.' The one bonus according to Stuart is the fact the corporate sector is very cash rich. Stuart will look out for profit warnings and tough trading conditions to provide buying opportunities particularly in the consumer sector. The Artemis team are still fans of the oil sector and in particular the oil services sector where the recent buoyant conditions have yet to really filter through. Stuart favours Abbot Group (ABG) and Expro International (EXR). In mining he holds Xstrata (XTA), Lonmin (LMI) and European Goldfields (EGU). Other sectors Stuart has bought recently include healthcare, IT and media where he has added to his holdings in Future Network (FNET), Centaur and Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNN) although he is keen to stress these are stock specific picks rather than sector plays. |
Posted at 22/9/2004 18:04 by initiate Yes very odd and some large MM trades too. Time to take a closer look at FNET ? |
Posted at 27/5/2004 17:39 by neilavery Could this be the start of a bounce for FNET? 60p is certainly an important support area! If this fails we could be sub 50p. The problem is we have resistance at 65p. |
Posted at 12/5/2004 11:40 by neilavery Nice to see FNET break through 70p again. Chart and indicators looking good! |
Posted at 07/4/2004 12:49 by chas51000 Good to see that they have chosen to use Marketforce as distributors when this used to be an over my dead body issue for current management.Big survey being conducted in marketplace on what influences peoples decisions to buy games - do not expect magazines to feature. Given how many people buy games circulations of these specialist magazines are poor both relative to this population and also historically. Can not see an exit so dividend not sufficient reason to invest. Ex growth and not large enough. |

Posted at 11/11/2003 14:21 by cyberian With EMAP looking so strong I still feel that the latter must have an iterest in FNET by using its more valuable paper. They are a PE more than twice that of Future....by the way I liked their new Laptop magazine...first rate, and should sell well. |
Posted at 23/10/2003 09:57 by liquidkid Cash acquisitions is what caused FNET to blow up last time around and the end result was a 120% share dilution and a 20p share price. I'm sure this time they'll do it better - it's the only option that can be used to produce any significant growth as present. They might be jumping the gun with the games mags though as the present cycle looks to be coming to an end - Sony last night reporting "poor performance for its PlayStation2 game machine. its game business took a heavy toll on Sony's bottom line in the second quarter. Operating profit in the division plunged 91% to Y2.18 billion for the July-September period." |
Posted at 22/10/2003 14:10 by darias >>LiquidkidThe company appears to have researched the mags pretty well - a number of provisos in the final deal which safeguard fnet's position. Surely the purpose of cash in a company such as Fnet is to ensure that there is future profitable growth. These acquitions appear to have acheived that. Still each to their own particular point of view. However the markets have responded positively to the deal. |
Posted at 11/10/2003 12:51 by cyberian Despite level of large sales at just above the bid in recent days it could suggest that there is a continuing taker of stock by a single party. This could be an intersting development or we may continue to see the same pattern at current levels. Allldepends on whether provider (seller) is finished or not. With the markets behaving better and with FNET entering into their most interesting and valuable trading period we should see a gradual improvement in share value. Certainly there is considerable growth in the US and the need to be informed through the FNET publications is even more critical with expanding hardware/software products/development |
