MM's are narrowing the spread to encourage consolidation at these levels... hopefully allowing a retest of 1.75 resistance. IMO

[goldent] 22/6/2004 12:55

Up 1% could start to rise again now.

[spekky] 22/6/2004 08:57

these are not heavily traded shares,it often moves dissproportionately on low volume,many (inc me) are not about to sell anytime soon,HAR has turned the corner,I particularly liked the comment suggesting they could double the estate without affecting admin costs,it proves the model works,and that they
just need to apply it to more outlets to achieve growth.

The trade prices seem inconsistant at the moment, so tend to agree. Would answer why no price movement as 1.2mil swallows up the sells of late. If a directors buy roll on tomorrow!!!

[oasis4663] 21/6/2004 14:24

I think the 1.2mill could be a directors buy

[goldent] 21/6/2004 13:58

1.2mil trade, 300k trade both look to be sells. 300k trade late Friday at 1.55.
All seem to be sells but no change in price. Possibly a large buy trade to follow?

just got back after two weeks in Portugal,only had time to glance at interims
but looks great.Thomas continues to buy,looks good for the future.

[goldent] 17/6/2004 14:55

Buy trades at 1.59

[goldent] 16/6/2004 14:40

As you say the director buy gives the share price some real support at that level. Just read back through the finals they got 1mil for the three sites, so sounds like very astute buying. I would expect so now anyway with the heads of the business now with mainly financial biased backgrounds.

It is the recent large director buying that gives me the most confidence. They obviously know better where the company is heading than anyone, and nobody throws £78,000 around without giving it some serious thought. If the MM's do any silly moves down to near 1.5p offer.. gonna buy some more.

Regarding the aquisitions: they were obviously acheived without raising further capital through a rights issue, so must have been shrewd use of existing capital.. also suggesting that the company is confident in it's forward outlook. IMO

Thanks Andy, I'm in at same so not concerned, once through resistance at 1.75 i'll be a lot happier. I'm interested to see some figures on the new aquisitions, wonder how much they paid for them and where the money came from? but great news all the same. We had a mention in last weeks AMREVIEW newsletter which gives a good overview of the last five years.

Yeah.. the 39K sell pushed EVO off the bid at 12:29. The MM's are messing around on light volume... shaking a few weak holders/ traders out... I personally see it as a good thing and will allow anther run at 1.75p resistance when buyers are attracted soon. The RSI is still a bit overbought. I'm in at 1.07p, so happy to hold and wait and see.

Regards

level 2 please anyone, has the 39k sell dropped the price or is there a delayed trade

[goldent] 16/6/2004 09:04

Have we seen the last of the sellers, good buying opportunity. Will we see a rise today.

[goldent] 15/6/2004 09:42

Can anyone tell me what p/e you would be reasonable for this company sector.

I did a quick calc and based on projected full year of £500k nett profit gave a p/e of 18.

Likely a sell, as on L2 the MM on 1.6 moved down to 1.55 immediately after the trade went through. It is healthy to see some consolidation here. Letting out some short term traders and allowing some fresh buyers on board. IMO

[winwoo] 15/6/2004 09:15

500mil M buy(?)

[andycarr] 14/6/2004 17:24

Pull back needed after substantial rise of last few weeks... 1.75p still proving to be tough resistance, but with further consolidation at these levels and the director buying recently we will hopefully have another go at breaching it soon. IMO

[goldent] 11/6/2004 16:38

Great end to the week, here's hoping for a mention in the weekend press, 2-2.5 next week. Have a good weekend all.

[goldent] 11/6/2004 15:06

Check it about 3.30pm. MM's make me laugh, then amount of sells over the last couple of days by my calculations have been minimal, yet TDW has it about 50 / 50. All due to the delays.

[oasis4663] 11/6/2004 15:00

over 30 mins since purchase still not showing mms doing what they do best

[oasis4663] 11/6/2004 14:58

the rise in 1999 was very quick

[oasis4663] 11/6/2004 14:57

[insiderboy] 11/6/2004 14:48
