Cropper (james) Share Discussion Threads

According to selftrade CRPR is the only stock in the Forestry and Paper Index can anyone confirm this?

Only a matter of time until a loaded Brazillian, Russian, Indian or Chinese gentlemen turns up with a few suitcase loads of cash and a desire for a spot of verticle integration IMHO.

Share holders would get enterprise value of say £3.80 perhaps + a bit of premium for loosing furture earnings growth, dividend, commodity related increases (i.e. due to world paper and wood demand/shortages) and RPI linked inflation IMHO.

Havent got any CRPR but I watch the industry with interest. Bought some FNT who among other things do forestry management and are subject to takeover rumours and have announced that they are in discussions!

just rolling along the support level bonty.

very cheap imo - just needs the value hunters to notice it imo.

I'd say they are passing on helthy increases going by SMDS today.

let's hope so, they've been drifting a bit lately.

With any luck a trading statement will kick start the shares into putting on another 100p in no time.....

Garth
I too have quite a large holding in intercede. I'm off to look at the other ones you are talking about.

[wjccghcc] 05/9/2007 18:29

Thanks Garth. Yes, I hold CRPR and SVR. IGP has a good website if you're interested at www.intercede.com . They're like SMRT in that still subject to large contract timings though that effect should reduce from next year.

[garth] 05/9/2007 15:27

AW,

My main concern is preservation of capital. I hold as many CAR as I do CRPR - they pay a divi and are ISA-able. There is lots of info on the CAR thread.

IGP I hold - but had been out of them for a long while - prefering SMRT. They have been edging closer to profit but have not got there yet - WJC is the man for a good summary. He has been seen recently here or on the SVR thread (another significant holding of mine).

SVR are close to profit, have announced several significant contracts and could be a good double-bagger. They are ISAable. They are not without risks.

Got to go. Hope that helps for kick-starting some research.

Kind regards,

G.

Garth
It was from SMRT where we all believe we were robbed!
Any further suggestions would be gratefully received - your feelings about IGP where I am not involved - for example.
Better still, something which pays a dividend is always reassuring.

[bonty] 05/9/2007 13:53

No pressure on you then Garth! I've just joined up too. (From SMRT)
Thanks, I hope, for the tip.

[garth] 05/9/2007 12:22

Pleasure AW. Was that on the SMRT thread?

Garth
Thanks for the tip.

[cockneyrebel] 05/9/2007 10:18

Yes Garth - on it's way to a breakout :-)

270p was the last intraday high - can't see it staying this low and nor can others from the buying the last few days.


Firm all the way to the results in Nov imo.

CR

[garth] 04/9/2007 20:35

Intraday hit almost 270p on results didn't it?

[hybrasil] 04/9/2007 18:07

I suspect we will see the £3.00 I spoke about sooner rather than later.

[cockneyrebel] 04/9/2007 14:54

there's your 51K sell and tick up as the trade clears - not sure there's many like that about to let buyers in cheap

CR

[cockneyrebel] 04/9/2007 13:09

seen all the buying today? recon there's a bit of stock about. Good news for buyers cos it's tough to get when this stock is moving up. Reckon when this bit clears it's another rush north again.


PE 12 for the current year, 3% yield and they look like they could beat by some way seems very cheao imo.

[wjccghcc] 01/9/2007 09:57

Yup you're right CR. Everyone seems a lot less patient nowadays and afraid to miss the boat :-)

[capercaillie] 31/8/2007 21:20

Looks like players were keeping their powder dry awaiting today. Was AIM a master stroke?

[balcony] 31/8/2007 14:16

Was hoping the market was going to bring these lower,But seems common sense as won the day,Will buy on a bad day.

[hybrasil] 31/8/2007 13:06

Yes £3 here we come. I too bought some more today
