Yep, a little 0.5p push higher and we're through the recent high too.

Nice steady look to the chart, everything in place for a good run over the next few weeks, up to and beyond the interims. I think we could be on a winner here. Good luck to all holders and buyers.

Bought a couple of chunks today - I think these could be well ahead with the new MD Andrew Guy buying shares.

Results March 3rd I think.

well this is going to be a serious slow burn!
My broker is still very bullish overall - just patience required till we get some news.

A very good time to get in IMO.

It is creeping up nicely! Keep going!!!!!!

Good old Gourmet. My chart says they should get to 20p.

Nobody is ramping this share. I just came on the thread when I chanced on the chart and spotted a good trend and timing.

I have no idea what the company does. Presumably something to do with food?

[malkie] 29/10/2004 12:16

The directors have been doing the rounds - my broker met with them last week - says he was extremely impressed!
Obviously he was not the only one!

Imo, these 25,000 buys are co. directors buying more shares. We should see an RNS to that effect shortly.

[horneblower] 29/10/2004 10:49

Some nice buys registered this morning. Someone's taking an interest.
Chart still looks good for 20p.
Have a little patience and the bees will come buzzing.

[blowson2000] 13/10/2004 21:04

up close to the 14p i predicted .Just wish i hadnt been so stingy and bought some before this rise!Il be in at the next little blip.

[malkie] 13/10/2004 14:03

At last!!!......were getting some profile....wondered when it would start......IMHO this one has a lot of potential...experienced management - growing both organically & through considerd acquisitions - fully funded - plus the Kayes are along for the ride!
I made loads out ofPRZ - trust this can do the same....


good luck to all holders

What a nice-looking chart. Bought this morning with the expectation of 18p before too long.

[cockneyrebel] 13/10/2004 10:37

Interesting director buy today - upped his holding by 20% odd.

Nearly £3m cash.

eps of 1.4p puts them on a PE of 8 but after the recent acquisition which fell into last year the benefits could really flow this year. 4 months into H1 and decent director buying - sounds like the acquisition is integrating well.

Could be on a PE well below 8 for this current year I'd say.

Bought a few.

CR

[blowson2000] 06/10/2004 20:23

buy price is up to 12.5p today

[malkie] 01/10/2004 08:31

hey - results are out wakey wakey - and we are BLUE this morning!!

This reminds me of PRZ when I first got in @ 30p!!

Malc

[blowson2000] 27/9/2004 11:53

Reckon there will be good results,and price will move back to 14p.I havent been able to get back in as there is too much of a spread.

[marmster] 24/9/2004 21:06

the price had gone up before the trades. Have been lots of very small sale trades over past few days - v.confusing

[g.j.a] 24/9/2004 19:06

confused by today trades - logic says big ones are sells - but the price goes up?......... Just announced that next week this time we will have 6 month figures......... could be interesting move (hopefully up) next week!

[blowson2000] 25/8/2004 22:01

down a bit today.Il be back in if it falls to 10p.

[g.j.a] 16/8/2004 15:17

Ticking up again - 2 x 100k buys gone through within few minutes of each other - quite big buys for this one! Anything happening?

[cordone] 20/7/2004 12:41

Malkie

Thanks for that mate. Looks very interesting!!

Going to hold PRZ at least to get full tax exemption but tempted to get in to this one at these levels.

Gourmet Holdings (AIM:GRM) has sealed its move in to the restaurant sector following its £6.3 million acquisition of gastro pub chain Bel and The Dragon.
Formerly known as Madisons Coffee, Gourmet's purchase of the three Bel and the
Dragon sites is likely to be the first of many in the company's quest to focus on building mini-restaurant chains from existing concepts.
The best of each of the three pub/restaurants, located in Cookham, Windsor and Godalming, will be combined to allow a staged roll-out strategy to be
developed.
Gourmet's chief executive Gareth Lloyd-Jones would not be drawn specifically on
how many Bel's he wants to launch, however. 'The best way of describing this is
that we can double the number and then we can double it again,' he says. 'I think its foolish to put a precise number on them, but it would be equally foolish if we didn't think there was a good opportunity to roll them out.'
The Bel and the Dragon concept, devised by Michael and Andrea Mortimer who will continue to run the fourth site in Reading through a licence from Gourmet, is what Lloyd-Jones calls a 'simple good food concept,' adding that 'part of the logic is to move from the brand brand brand culture.'
Lloyd-Jones and trading subsidiary director Andrew Guy, former boss of
City Centre Restaurants, have already located a number of potential new
sites for the chain in and around the home counties.
The pair raised £2.5 million in a private placing to fund part of the deal,
bringing on board the Kaye family, who set up City Centre, ASK Central and
Prezzo(AIM:PRZ), as a 13.49% shareholder, sitting alongside other notable holders including Chris Akers and Mark Horrocks. Gourmet has between £2 million and £2.5 million in the bank following the deal to fund the roll-out of Bel and the Dragon, and the 'opportunistic expansion' of its small
Richoux restaurant brand. Shares in the firm look undervalued at
14.5p, particularly when compared to restaurant new boys Clapham House
(AIM:CPH) and Urban Dining (AIM:URB).

Hi Guys

Interested in this initially due to the involvement of Philip Kaye. Unfortunately there's precious little info around. I wonder if Malkie has any hard info to back up his brokers tip. Still in PRZ for the moment.

Nice little MM walkdown going on here.

Got my finger on the trigger waiting to buy more around 12p. With a lack of newsflow I'm expecting to do so within a month.
