There's the dip, how long will it last? Looks like you spoke a bit too soon Tad :-)

[tadtech] 14/5/2007 14:17

All quiet here!!


Shares taking a breather seemingly, the next leg up should propel this towards £4 even then only sitting on a forward PE of 14.

Interesting to see if the Hargreaves Landsdown float (PE at 21) on Wednesday will draw investors attention into this undervalued play.

Buyers paying over the offer yesterday in size. More upward to come for sure. Hargreaves Landsdown float next week will draw interest to the sector.

[tadtech] 09/5/2007 16:44

Cannot see a dip on this currently, it sells at at least 5x times below the sector average PE of 17 and has growth running at 150%!! Also shares are tightly held. Bought more myself today @ £3.01 Also a possible Mid East investor in the wings.

I know of several folk waiting to buy the dip.....
Keep telling em forget it, just get in 8-)

[jakleeds] 09/5/2007 16:24

Well there's 3 squid

[tadtech] 09/5/2007 15:40

Some earlier trades hitting the ticker now. Still more upward momentum to come.

[tadtech] 09/5/2007 13:45

Adding more this pm when funds eventually come through. Don't mind paying £3 when we could see £4 in the not too distant future.

With Hargreaves Landsdown floating next week at a PE of 21 should show the value here.

[jakleeds] 09/5/2007 13:39

Nearly there now...

[gswredland] 09/5/2007 12:59

I have a lot for me, but so tempted too!

[liarspoker] 09/5/2007 12:59

Good man Dave, a worthy decision imo.

[bigbigdave] 09/5/2007 12:58

Added a few more this morning, but below 300p.

[liarspoker] 09/5/2007 12:49

Well the first 300p trade came through this morning. The first of many imo.

[czar] 09/5/2007 07:38

This guy is a heavy weight and the fact he is joining a minute broker like HH is interesting, they must have some grand ambitions which probably explains the sudden interest in the shares. I suspect this is just the start of something interesting.

[tadtech] 09/5/2007 07:36

Looks like he has a wealth of experience. Good for acquiring (lucrative) new clients.

In for more shares today.

[gswredland] 09/5/2007 07:33

Is it me or does there seem to be alot more newsflow from the company in the last few months? Good news if this is so!

[bigbigdave] 09/5/2007 07:29

Anyone know the new boy?

my horse says £10m but then again I suppose he is on grass!.........

[nurdin] 08/5/2007 22:34

Did you know that Hichen & Harrisons are Londons oldest stock brokers with a history dating back to 1803?In fact they are as old as the London Stock Exchange itself and issued their first trading certificate in 1803...
Just a little snippet..

Still waiting for my certificate and no smart comments please :o)

[saraho] 08/5/2007 22:26

ok talk to you in 2008.............

[liarspoker] 08/5/2007 22:16

Stg 6m profits for this year come from the horses mouth so let's stick with that until we see a T/S. I'd rather have a real obtainable target of 400p+ rather then people quoting 600p+...........let's save those figures for 2008. ;o)

[saraho] 08/5/2007 22:09

pre tax profits likely to be at least £10m if not £13m so the wrong price.........very lowly rated..........

[liarspoker] 08/5/2007 22:08

I agree, much to cheap at these levels.

What a find, what a gem.......

[tadtech] 08/5/2007 21:36

Cap now £43m, potential pre tax profit £5m/6m, likely forward EPS 25/27p, share price now £2.91. Too lowly rated even after recent rises.

[saraho] 08/5/2007 20:39

it looks like these shares are going to at least £600 and some people think £740 and more............
