Nice move up today, went long at 216.

hosede,

Government U turns very popular these days makes dealing with DECC very tricky. Bad decision making at government level means we all pay the price.

Looks like Homesun and others are not going down without a fight

What is to become of other new technologies such as domestic micro chp which also rely on the FIT.

I have looked at solar PV for myself and after a small amount of research found that my electricity bill is only 12% of my total energy bill and that working on cutting my gas bill via sealing up the drafts and upgrading my homes insulation is both cheaper and more cost effective. Loft insulation only £1 per roll at B&Q !

small caps are punished by shorters in this market for any misses. easy money as they know there are a lot of weak hands. just have to accept this is the game. shares are risky for this reason. no real logic just the game. overall a small miss. they took a risk and it did not pay off. i disagree with hosede that it was a major blunder. if you are in business you take risks but keep them manageable. with pe of 8 falling to 7 next year and dominant in market looks good value at minute. would start nibbling in small bits up to 240 although may retest bottom again.

existing funds topping up - good sign that they are reassured by management

[phillis] 15/11/2011 10:36

oversold territory

[brownie69] 14/11/2011 14:39

I read the interim statement as being a one off set back due to the solar situation. Beyond the control of management.
If underlying business is OK this is a good topping up opportunity which is what I am doing. Market seems to see it differently though.

This share price fall is disappointing and an over reaction to the small right down of the solar work.

[113mike] 11/11/2011 20:41

very disappointed with this....I've sold out and gone in on CKSN as a recovery play.

Will keep any eye on MER and may come back in in the new year.
I think it's only a temporaryset-back but can only see the share price treading water over the next few months! (imho)
Think in a year or two the share price will be back at £3

I worry about poor old JIM, he must be slated.

[dugganjoe] 11/11/2011 18:30

Wonder what Holty has done with the £18m he bagged when he dumped out almost all his shares?

Today..
Mears Group: Investec cuts target from 365p to 238p, buy recommendation retained.

[hosede] 10/11/2011 09:57

On today's statement - I find it amazing that anyone as astute as MER couldn't see that the Govt.'s PV feedin tariff was certain to be cut - it was set at such a totally unsustainable level.

ex dividend today and up a few pennies. always a good sign

[caretaker2] 12/10/2011 05:57

Rumors of another big 10 year contract win.....

[spacecake] 07/10/2011 13:48

From the Daily mail this morning...

Mears eased 2.5p more to 248.25p.

Within the UK social care industry, the broker (Collins Stewart)expects a structural shift from expensive residential locations to cheaper domiciliary care and supported living – a trend that will drive faster growth and benefit Mears, which should see an acceleration in organic sales growth in its care division in the second half of this year and 2012.

very strange, especially as everything else i have is looking alright

[spacecake] 05/10/2011 10:47

SP dives... no news... mystery ??? ... what strange time we live in.

[spacecake] 12/9/2011 12:32

Thanks Steve.

[stevemarkus] 12/9/2011 10:03

Have a look at the past RNS releases. You will see that Mears is involved in a joint venture fitting solar panels with at least one housing association.

Cheers,
Steve.

Hi, I'm new to this company as an investor and was wondering if Mears would benefit from the green deal proposals currently under discussion.





Big chunk of money available for accredited advice and installers which Mears could hop on to.

This is holding up well considering councils are begining to revue service providers, the severe council cutbacks now mean some are starting to look at smaller cheaper contractors who can provide a similar level of service at a 20% premium. I don't hold this stock but I am looking to short if the momoent is right.

Bob Holt is 56. You could not blame him if he wanted to spend some of it.

[phillis] 17/8/2011 18:35

so perhaps we should take a leaf out of Bob Holt's book and top slice
