Unfortunately, the market makers also see the Independent tip and up the price.

[flyfisher] 22/12/2009 08:21

htg is tipped in todays independent.

That is probably the least enthusiastic TS I have seen from HTG in 10 years. Bearing in mind that what remains of the company is the half with the best prospect for growth, performance is at best dull and not looking to be great for 2010. Usually when HTG give a good TS the share price falls but this has put on 20p which is a bit of a supprise to me. Having sold out earlier I shall sit this out a little longer and look for a better re-entry point.

The Company anticipates a trading performance for 2009 toward the high end of
market expectations despite recessionary global markets

Other than that, not much else to report......

The trading statement is in and is worth reading especially for people like me who do not currently hold.

[old giggleswickian] 17/12/2009 16:31

I don't have any specific dates but we do usually get a trading statement in the third week of December. I am a little disappointed that HTG have not found anything of a significant size to buy with the money they got for Gibson. I don't suppose we will get any fireworks from a TS but it would be nice to get some idea of future prospects.

HTG an old favourite of mine. Risen exponentially like a bullet, it has to deflate a little but a great company. Best of luck....

[pyman] 16/10/2009 12:16

Doolittle - yes, when I read the update I took it as being broadly neutral. But we'll have to see if Mr Market agrees !
