2006 Annual report is now on the website.

peter ...

it's happened here before after placings, huge sells of 100k or more at a time, simply absorbed by ready buyers.
I think the three big dips in the chart might be connected, but they proved to be a further buying opportunity.

[honiton] 05/6/2007 20:53

hardly being dumped. conversion price is 180.

as i'm in for the long term, I don't think this is an issue.

[petersmith6] 05/6/2007 20:39

i wonder what will happen when all them new shares are dumped on to the market?

Note on current trading at the end of the RNS:

Inspicio is trading on budget and all parts of the group are progressing as
expected. The group is trading in line with the Directors' expectations for the
current financial year. In particular, the turnaround of Inspectorate is on
track to meet the expectations of the Directors as outlined in the admission
document at the time of its acquisition in 2005. As reported in the annual
report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2006, the acquisitions of
ESGL and Eclipse in 2006 have been successfully integrated into the group.

Interesting acquisition here, Scientifics Limited, for £22m.
I thought we'd given up on these for the time being.
At least it's not an enormous one but it could be a significant one.

This will be the 'Marwyn' referred to:



Nice Logo - beats the 2012 Olympics effort...

[honiton] 05/6/2007 07:23

um.

getting a bit serious this one. acquisition should be OK.

I only had a passing interest in DRM knowing some of the guys there. I wouldn't dreaming of investing until price hit at least 20p - which I doubt it ever will.

[jonwig] 25/5/2007 16:14

Honiton, hi.

No, never heard of NORK. I see it's doing well though.

Incidentally, I see you've posted on the DRM thread, but apparently don't hold.
I held DRM 'from the off' as soon as it reversed into Meon Capital, at around 11p.

Their initial projections included all sorts of stuff about future sales, but when they produced the first set of reults (a year ago) there was absolutely no mention of current product sales.
Technically this was OK, as the period referred to was pre-acquisition.
But all my analysis was geared to knowing the current turnover, with some ideas of future numbers.
Why were they so coy? We know now!
So, having smelled a rat, I exited at around 16p.

I haven't re-posted there, as no-one likes a wise-guy, but I'd advise caution on that one.

cheers. currently kicking myself for not buying BBI but pleased I sold TRY. Any views on NORK? Is this your sector/expertise?

[jonwig] 25/5/2007 12:31

21 June last year, Honiton, and the Annual report was available on the website at about this time.
The 2006 AR isn't 'up' yet.

[honiton] 25/5/2007 11:21

I think the AGM is soon. Haven't been able to find details from web site(s). Yet.

[honiton] 19/5/2007 06:59

there is no apparant reason to sell this share.

this is one of my best performers since April 2006.

just keep on holding and adding to the holding now and then.

[jonwig] 18/5/2007 12:37

An increase from 6,506,500, 7.06%:

...funds managed by Cycladic Capital LLP currently has an interest in 7,985,136 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in Inspicio, representing approximately 9.0 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

[honiton] 17/5/2007 12:45

Reducing exposure from commercial property (REITs don't seem to have had a big impact) and moving into services & IT.

stating the bloomin obvious isn't it?

a lot of business may be hit by US$ weakness.

[jonwig] 12/5/2007 19:09

ITRK Trading Statement yesterday included relevant points:

Global trade and other trends that drive our business remain robust and trading
in the current year has started well and in line with expectations. However, the
weakness in the US dollar against sterling will mean that growth in reported
revenue and profit will be lower than the growth shown at constant exchange
rates.

[honiton] 09/5/2007 13:55

absolutely.

XCH looks interesting. no ramp intended DYOR.

[jonwig] 09/5/2007 12:08

Hi Honiton.

Yes, Tesco has been an excellent investment.
For the most part, I don't buy individual large-cap shares, as they are so well-researched already - instead I use Investment Trusts for these: about 2/3 of my portfolio has been in Alliance Trust for the past twenty years!

The attraction of smaller-caps is that they are often below the radar of City researchers, and one can often snap up stock before the market notices.

[honiton] 08/5/2007 17:06

Oh well. No need to sell INP. Just like TESCO really. Over 3years 6 months I have more than doubled my money in Tescos. So boring as well? but then you can't complain at that kind of return.

where did I get this tip from. The difficulty finding a spot in their carpark vis. Asda or Sainsbury's.

[jonwig] 08/5/2007 16:28

Hi Honiton.
Yes, sorry for ramping!!

The INP RNS arrived just now and seems to have sent the share price back up to level for the day.
