China picking up steam may help.Blue Focus are no fools they must have realised value when they took a 20% stake in the company

[tom111] 16/7/2014 09:05

Its the bottom Madengland,fill your boots,lol

[typo56] 16/7/2014 08:54

Can't see they'll be much buying interest until they elaborate about the problems, and the person to elaborate is off sick (apparently as stated at the AGM - more 'selective disclosure'?).

[madengland] 16/7/2014 08:32

Is this the bottom or more to come? Tough question.

@pyemckay

Having read the report, I think what CEO has told the reporter could be interpreted as 'selective financial disclosure'. Hope the lawyers/FCA will advise him to keep his mouth shut in similar situations.

investments in this context means recruitment. not acquisitions.

[tom111] 15/7/2014 09:51

some chunky buyers this morning

[pyemckay] 15/7/2014 09:26

comment on citywire from the ceo was that revenues from aquisitions were not as expected! why is this not in rns? I sold this morning taking a 20% loss. terrible PR

[tom111] 15/7/2014 08:29

We were warned that revenues would continue to decline in the Prelims and a turn around would occur 2015,i know jam tomorrow

[fatken] 15/7/2014 07:41

I could be accused of over-analysing the brief statement but does the fact that the word 'significantly' was not chosen to describe the profit warning provide some sort of reassurance?

'The Board of Huntsworth plc, the public relations and healthcare communications Group, announces that first half results will be below market expectations. The Board is reviewing the second half year and, while there is work to do, we believe that the second half will show improvement over the first half year'

A bit of guessing game till mid August!

FATKEN I dont surpose he will lose too much sleep over the loss lol

[typo56] 14/7/2014 20:50

Don't shoot the messenger. If you have a grievance, take it up with the directors of your company.

[tom111] 14/7/2014 20:14

Whats your interest here Typo zilch move on

[fatken] 14/7/2014 19:32

Lord Myners bought 200K shares at 65p only 2 months ago - not sure he is very happy with this now.

[typo56] 14/7/2014 19:24

NAV per share =79p

lol, which includes intangible assets of about 90p per share.

I'd bargepole this until there's clarification of the numbers, as I suspect would any potential bidder.

[tom111] 14/7/2014 18:08

that latest statement was so indifferent a take over would cause a stir now

[tom111] 14/7/2014 17:29

NAV per share =79p

Private Investor update

A Mug, Huntsworth's Group Chief share buyer and ordinary punter, who, as announced at the local Poor House, is currently unwell and therefore on leave from his senses, and is expected to return to Huntsworth during the Autumn or immediately before the next inevitable profit warning.

[typo56] 14/7/2014 15:04

Okay, I've found a "reiterate add" from Numis but also that they are reviewing the rating and target price. Not that broker recs count for much.

[tom111] 14/7/2014 14:44

I did name the company and I did not state "from an ADVFN competitor" it was conveniently altered.

[typo56] 14/7/2014 14:32

I use competitors too. Any link to the info?

Since when have ADVFN threads been restricted to posts from besotted holders? Not paying attention to other people's views is a sure way to lose money. It's not as if you've never posted negative thoughts on this thread about the company, after you'd sold.

[tom111] 14/7/2014 13:58

Got the imfo from an ADVFN competitor no target though just recommends adding.Typo if you don't like the co why don't you just move on with respect.

[typo56] 14/7/2014 13:42

tom111, you have more up to date info than me. Do you have a link to today's Numis add rec? Any target? Latest I have is that they today placed both their target price and add rating under review. Think they last had an add rec on 29 Apr, although it's not a stock I've followed.

Numis are of course the house broker? When did you last see a house broker come out with a sell rec?

[tom111] 14/7/2014 13:16

Numis recommends adding today

[tom111] 14/7/2014 13:09

blue focus took 20% of company at 58p last year remember
