I`ve held RGP for a number of years (bought @7p). I now feel the time is right to purchase a further quantity - and have done so.

Looks like some buyer had trouble picking up stock and had to go for 3x50K.
Looks like interest is picking up so maybe news is on the horison.

NMS is 1000 which means £30 if you buy at 3p. Under exchange rules any trade more than 6xNMS is delayed - a laughable £180 in this example.

Held some of these shares for many years,suffered the capital re-orginisations/rights issues etc etc,thought they were dead...is the pulse flickering?. just bought a few more not showing up on trades though.

[fido] 18/1/2006 08:12

This is starting to look interesting, maybe news on improved trading or the Sansui licence is on its way.

[sandbank] 17/1/2006 21:39

FIDO: Thanks for the extra info. If I hear anything more I will post here.

[fido] 17/1/2006 19:34

sandbank,
I hope your information is good. As I said above, if BAE get the £40 billion MOD contract which seems very likely then some of this work will filter down to Ross Group.
There are three things that are changing Ross`s fortunes at the moment. They have increased their salesforce and their marketing drive, so firstly they are now winning more orders for their Gell division. Secondly they are diversifying their interests which is bringing in more work. Thirdly we are still waiting for news on the Sansui licence.
Ross through Gel is now benifiting from its niche status. It has a worldwide reputation and wins orders from many big names. These real life mock ups that Gell produces are becoming the cost effective solution to escalating costs around the world, so I think that we will see a recovery in profits from Gell this year. I still maintain though that it is going to be the granting of the Sansui licence that is really going to make this share fly. Everything on the Ross website is set up for the Sansui off and we are just waiting for the official conformation, but when it happens I am expecting this share to triple on the announcement and to go on from there.

ENEWMAN36: Sorry - can't say - but I believe the source is a good one.

[enewman36] 17/1/2006 16:59

Where did you here these "whispers" from sand??

[sandbank] 17/1/2006 16:02

FIDO: I'm not so sure about "NO" volume. I think a couple of buys have gone in today.
Getting information about RGP is very difficult. They certainly don't issue any more RNSes than they absolutely have to, but I hear whispers they are about to land a huge multi-million pound repeat order from the Canadian Air Force for a parachute simulator. This is nothing like these WW2 towers - these comprise the complete fuselage of a Hercules aircraft - big stuff, and profitable too.
Little wonder they forecast a return to profitability this year!

[fido] 17/1/2006 13:15

Some small buying over the last few days followed by todays 12% rise on no volume. Interesting!

[fido] 05/1/2006 12:44

BAE sets sights on £40 billion army contract.
This could mean a lot more sub contract work for Ross Group.

[fido] 09/12/2005 11:20

Any ideas as to why the drop.

[zanki] 08/12/2005 18:25

i think the MOD has recently secured major contracts with EADS, maybe more work coming up for the simulators from EADS to Ross

[ianrossbus] 08/12/2005 15:28

The other thing to notice is that even with only a few hundred thousand shares being traded (relatively small monetary value), the price dramatically changes as to sell or buy ie up or down. Probably due to very few shares available. Imagine what will happen when the news gets out. Shortage of shares on good news probably see a huge rise in a short period of time. I also believe that many of the current holders have a long way to go until break even and so are unlikely to sell out quickly - so a better chance of the share price holding - All IMHO of course. Time to look in the bottom of the drawer and dig out those Ross Group certificates - I hope. Best of luck to all. Ian ( and no - I am not involved in the company)

[fido] 07/12/2005 20:14

One thing I have noticed with Ross is that no matter how many sells that go through the market just seems to soak them up, its like they have a long term buyer for them. It does seem like the action could start any time now.

[ianrossbus] 07/12/2005 19:21

Some of us who have been in this share for years, through many a hard time, consolidation etc have kept the faith knowing that one day this company will be taken in the right direction. Why does GRANDE GROUP get so involved in such a small non profit making company, sell off most of its profit making assets and appoint to the management, not one, but several very experienced GRANDE top brass. One reason only, they have something big in store for Ross Group. Maybe we will finally find out soon. Many of us have to wait until 8-12p to recover our losses. If the news is big, IMHO that price will be reached very quickly. Its been a long wait. Fingers have been crossed for years and the blood supply is getting weak. Come on, give us the news. Not many shares on the market now.

[fido] 07/12/2005 12:46

There are two reasons that a share rises. Either through people buying or through the market knowing something. Well there don`t seem to be much buying at the moment, SO???????

[fido] 05/12/2005 14:21

Yes this is true but having watched the situation closely I decided that there was more to Ross than met the eye and on doing my research I found far from being a dead loss, it had potential if certain events went its way. Since then I have recognised that in my posts which have been more positive of late. It proves that even shares like Ross who have been dead in the water for years have potential and also not to take your eye off the ball.
Even now the turnaroud depends on them getting the Sansui licence but that only seems to be a question of when and not if.

[bluedolphine] 05/12/2005 12:42

take your profits and put em in ORM.. its been rerated to 24p

[fido] 05/12/2005 11:12

If anyone has read my posts on Ross Group you will see that I have always said that it is one of those shares where it will do nothing for ages and then it will triple overnight. The reason for this will be the awarding of the Sansui licence.
Todays action may mean that someone has heard of an announcement soon.

[double6] 05/12/2005 10:23

200k trade at 2p ?

[fido] 01/10/2005 11:11

Ross said it has more than one option available to supplement current business activities, which it is currently assessing, making progress towards potential significant changes.

WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

[zanki] 29/9/2005 19:40

i agree they don't care about shareholders, but why did they want a listed company in the first place ?, the holding company own 71% and at the time of the rights were going to fully underwrite them if the Shareholders did not take them up. They have some plan, bugg*r knows what though.
