good update imo, confirms Q1's numbers weren't a fluke too imo. group fees up 7%, the declines have well and truly ended and the fee rate rising Q after Q.

Last 4 consecutive Qs fee increases have gone : 1%, 2%, 5%, 7%.

Trading ahead of expectations imo.

MPI, STHR, HAS, all well on the up while RWA yet to take part imo.

All imo/dyor etc.

RRR

guys, RRR will announce positive news on greenland deal confirmation which will value RRR more than triple current mc. The announcement will come anytime this week, before the investor show which RRR is taking part on 13th April.



Not to mention, some sold in last few weeks for capital gains tax reason, which means they will be buying back first thing this week. so grab a bargain in RRR or have it in your watchlist and ready to pile in as RRR can move easily from sub 1p to 5p. see 5 years chart!

Sunday Times Danny Fortson gave a positive view today ahead of an update this week, said the gloom over financial jobs has run its course and the sector makes up only 15% from 30% of the company's business.

Breaking out:

Michael Page on the way up, RWA have stalled.

[yewtrees] 08/1/2013 16:53

I think my wait has been worthwhile.

Daily Mail 2/1/13
Resilient UK jobs market continues to buck trend
Opportunities for jobseekers have reached a three year high, according to a report from recruitment firm Reed.
According to the Reed job index, which analyses trends in employment opportunities in the UK, the market is more than 10pc stronger than this time last year.

Hope it relates to the sectors that RWA operate in.

Could be waiting a long time...

Gave up on this ever moving a while back. Can't believe how little happens here - nothing in 6 months. Hugging the 200 day moving average - I guess it will be significant when it does eventually move.

[yewtrees] 13/12/2012 08:49

Michael Page's share price has been improving recently, waiting for RWA to do the same.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 12/10/2012 08:23

Well there you go - I did say I never make proper money out of this and it's up and away well before any sign of a trading recovery shows through in the numbers. Could be a false start, but we'll only know in hindsight.

Happy enough with the decision, it has been well used elsewhere, but it would have been nice to still be in.

[yewtrees] 08/10/2012 07:37

RWA results seemed to me to be much better than MPI results that came out today. Still happy with RWA.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 04/10/2012 08:31

Dull update, but seems to be well received. I got out last week on the little rise (now bigger) to reinvest elsewhere.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 24/9/2012 17:05

3m shares (4.3% of the 70m market shares) traded at 180 - listed as a buy, yet follows a 7-8% fall last week.

Murky old business, wait for the RNS...

[imastu pidgitaswell] 21/9/2012 16:32

No longer heading in the right direction. I think it's just marketmakers trying to create some life in it, and that's fine with me.

Funny how it's always down though.

Might add a few next week, but I'd rather hear the worst in terms of trading from them first.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 19/9/2012 09:21

But there's always a lot THAT sort of thing with this share. Two and a half shares traded over past few days and the price drops 5%.

There's just no market in it, despite that Aviva RNS. Could die of boredom here...

[yewtrees] 14/9/2012 14:35

It's heading in the right direction. I think when the share price starts to pick up it will regain some ground very quickly. I have been a holder for a long time and regard it as a well run company.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 14/9/2012 13:38

Yes, if MPI share price is real (and not just up with the market) then RWA should follow so there is time to get in. I have a few, but not a lot, as it just doesn't bloody move and ties up too much funds. Also I don't see it as terribly cheap.

Ah, someone has updated the header - that's nice...

[yewtrees] 14/9/2012 09:57

Micheal Page's share price seems to be recovering well.
Perhaps the recruitment sector is improving again.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 13/9/2012 15:20

Aviva holding above 3%. Pity, I'm not happy keeping the same commpany as them with their buy high sell low approach.

But I'm impressed with their ability to buy a significant volume without moving the bloody share price one iota...

[imastu pidgitaswell] 10/9/2012 16:23

Well let's just say (hello? anyone out there?) that it's taking a time to make up its my mind on what to do next.

It hasn't actually moved for over 2 months, the apparent changes in price within a 10p band basically being a function of whether the last reade was a buy or a sell, given the silly spread.

Truly a rubbish share. Not necessarily a rubbish investment (though as I hold a few, doubtless it will be), but a rubbish tradeable share. I blame the berk who set up the thread.

MPI showing a nice range...

[imastu pidgitaswell] 17/8/2012 13:45

I've been adding back the sales from a few weeks ago, mainly on the back of the MPI share price performance, th apparent floor at 180-odd and some other recruitment sniffs, suggesting we may be turning a corner. Could be very wrong, but I do know, over ten years and more, that this always takes off before any improvement manifests in the numbers.

[pbracken] 02/8/2012 07:26

Very weak results. Under 3p EPS at the half year renders RWA very expensive, the more so given that market conditions are set to get worse before they get better.

It would be a decent punt at 80p, which is where it got to last time the economy tanked.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 13/7/2012 11:21

Ouch.

For the current level of trading, per the trading statement, not very cheap, imho.

Barclays (and other banks to come) turmoil won't be helping...
