hi all, newish to this board. Came across it by reading the naked trader book. Will be brutaly honest and say that I have only recently got into shares. My strategy is to buy so called 'recovery' shares. This was identified by mutleymagic from an article in IC. Keen to get people's input on this. I am busy doing my own research, but keen to learn as well

Got a mention in IC out 5th June - put down as a RECOVERY BUY - lol - I have known value of this since it was 4p - MM

Mate weve all been there, my worst: bought FRES at 120 sold at 180 thinking id done rather well. Enough said!

[roystonoyston] 03/6/2009 16:28

I got out a week ago.What a wonker i am.

[pelleeds1980] 03/6/2009 15:24

Looking tasty esp in a falling market.

[alanrex] 03/6/2009 10:05

im out. managed to double my investment overall and it was a good ride. it may go up further but im happy to leave something for the next person. if it retraces, then id consider coming back in...

Strange trades. Look like two 500,000 buys, but then it could be a rollover, though the timing is back to front. And the quoted spreads on LSE and PLUS are significantly different (LSE 29/29.5; PLUS 27/29). Just tried a dummy sell and only offering a tad over 28 which implies that PLUS is more accurate and the two trades were not separate buys.

I am not a chartist but 30p was probably an exit point for some. Particularly those who purchased at 4p.

[mykai] 02/6/2009 09:22

Looking at chart next resistance is 35 ish indicators look ok and not to high so buying /news ie director buys could take it to 35/38 before consolidation/downturn

just imo

[xk] 02/6/2009 09:06

I am no chartist but the price has just broken through 25p around which it hovered for several week. So hopefully, we should get cracking to 30p and beyond!

[alanrex] 02/6/2009 08:55

do we have any chartists on here? if so, does anyone have a feel of where this can go before meeting its 'resistence point'?

thanks in advance

mutley - apologies, that last full stop was a full stop (ie end of sentence!!), but I can see the ambiguity.

Yes, the different spreads on PLUS are surprising - and at the moment I can't quite work out why.

Incidentally, you can pick up lots of other shares on PLUS in the same way....

[mutleymagic] 02/6/2009 08:44

graham - you are a star!! - cheers I was trying to find PLUS details on ADVFN - but couldn't (you have to miss the last full stop though) again cheers MM

PS once done its amazing the different spreads etc - MM

[grahamburn] 02/6/2009 08:27

Also, what's the basis of your opinion for a short term pull back?

[grahamburn] 02/6/2009 08:26

Yatrasor

There is more volume than is shown on ADVFN - the PLUS market shows at least the same if not more volume (think well over 400k yesterday, compareds to just approx 200k on the LSE). You can see the current day's trades on PLUS on ADVFN monitors by using the epic PLUS:HRG.GB.

[yatrasor] 02/6/2009 08:17

This seems to be rising on very little volume, so with some decent news and volume I think this could really fly north. However, a short-term pull back to 22/23 could potentially happen in the short term imo.

[simon_64] 01/6/2009 18:10

Decided to sell out today, goodluck all holders.

[gorfav] 01/6/2009 15:28

news can be maybe a sizeable contract win not necessarily t/o...also a month is not a long time

[grahamburn] 01/6/2009 14:56

If there was to be "news soon", then there couldn't be directors' purchases.

[rattlesnake28] 01/6/2009 09:24

More director purchases, perhaps news soon? ;)

[roystonoyston] 29/5/2009 16:06

I agree mutley.Im out today.My millions gone into more exciting stock.

[mutleymagic] 29/5/2009 12:06

Great results - yet price not moving much due to lack of volume and large spread could be reason for this - MM scum - MM

[owenski] 28/5/2009 11:39

Thought the results were pretty good, debt down, cash flow up, looks like the div. will start upwards from new rebased level 1.2p at some point in the future. Share price looks well underpinned. Personal opinion- the business looks in good shape to me, still lost 75% of its m.cap since armageddon started so I dont see much downside to The Hog from here on.
Regards all

"Dnata achieved a 22 per cent increase in revenue to AED 3.25 billion ($886 million), compared with AED 2.67 billion ($727 million) the previous year. Profits increased 66.4 per cent to reach AED 507 million ($138 million) despite a testing year from increased activity.



Dnata continues to play a major role in the Group's growth by handling a record 244,516 aircraft (up 2.3 per cent on last year), over 37 million passengers (up 5.7 per cent), and 627,352 tonnes of cargo (down 0.8 per cent).



During 2008-09, Dnata International continued to expand its ground handling operations to bring its reach to 17 airports in seven countries.



Dnata Travel Services opened the 50th outlet this year, coinciding with its 50th anniversary of operations. The division also opened Afghanistan's first-ever full-service travel shop in Kabul in partnership with Dunya Travel. Dnata this year also invested in the Hogg Robinson Group acquiring 23 per cent of the travel company's stock. Hogg Robinson Group UAE increased sales by 14 per cent launching new outlets in Dubai.



Over the last five years, Dnata has grown its revenue by 10 per cent compound. Looking ahead, Dnata expects overall growth for its business to continue in the single digit figures for the next two years".
