El Chup - Check it out before you put wrong information on the board. ADVFN trades indicate 91292 Buys and 29467 Sells at 0947. CH.

!010 - 114293 buy/36043 sell. Appears to be manipulation once again by the MMs possibly trying to fill an order or taking on stock prior to dividend date.

more sellers than buyers

I am not aware of whether they supply electronics for rockets/satelites, but if they are part of the supply chain for the Russian rocket/satleite crash that would explain it - but that is a pure/ignorant guess.

A buying opportunity in my view. No good reason as far as I am aware. CH.

Why the big drop this morning. Any ideas please?

[churchtower] 12/5/2015 08:12

Thanks for that information C2I. I remain very overweight and will continue to do so for the forseeable future . The chart breakout from that reverse head and shoulders pattern in early February always indicated a measureable rise to about 393. This recent news, attractive yield and confident outlook under the impressive leadership of David Lockwood leads me to believe that there will be further strong upward movement in the medium and longer term. We may well see some hesitation in the share price whilst short term profit is taken before the upward climb resumes. CH.

OMG. What a morning. Will it hold on to the gain?

[philipmidgley] 30/4/2015 14:33

What price will it be come Div date?What's your guess?

[philipmidgley] 28/4/2015 13:23

Churchtower speaks and the shares go up. Can you do this daily please.

[churchtower] 28/4/2015 11:15

Chart continuing to look strong and threatening to break out. The excellent Apple news yesterday and the Interim Statement due next week are possible reasons where we could see a strong move up. MM's also appear to be happy to take on stock at the moment. CH.

Not a good day today. Is this a little shake of the tree before the div rally ?

[philipmidgley] 11/4/2015 17:07

Good progress on Friday, could we pass £3.59 barrier this week. Last year we had a 20p move as the Div came closer. Let's hope we see that again. P.

why have most of your previous posts been deleted CH?

Very much alive, as is Laird Technologies. I remain overweight and will remain so for the foreseeable future with the growth of this Company continuing to look encouraging. We have only just reached the price 354.50 that David Lockwood, the CEO, paid for 35,540 shares on 3rd March. This is surely a vote of confidence as he of all people must be fully aware of the prospects that lie ahead. Also on that day the share price rose by 4% after posting an impressive set of full-year results with a confident statement stating it has good momentum to deliver growth in the current year after increasing its bottom line by 11.3% in 2014. This has allowed it to increase dividends by 4.2% and means that Laird now yields around 3.6%. Additionally with Laird’s bottom line forecast to grow by 16% this year and 12% next year, its P/E ratio of 15.9 seems attractive and points to further possible strong share price performance. CH.
