Are there any companies out there that don't have ridiculous valuations?

[nortic 007] 16/3/2017 12:04

Scary?I'll be telling my kids years from now that I invested in MA and they won't believe me!!!! LOL

I was paying 15% on my second house back in Cambridge yrs ago.
Now my old house worth £22.000 back then is £450.000 today and rising.
Children are now paying 1% on their houses. LOL

Most young people think we were making these stories up but it happened !!!

Go back further to around 89 -90`s when rates were above 15% - I paid 17% on one commercial mortgage - the good old days.:-)

[the_equaliser] 16/3/2017 09:08

You have forgotten int rates in 90's I remember it going to 10% plus 😓

Scary thought

[useless23] 15/3/2017 22:30

It boggles the mind to think interest rates used to be over 5pc 10 years ago. How would people pay their mortgages now if rates were that high?

[nortic 007] 15/3/2017 20:27

Exactly my thoughts. But there were no surprises in that decision plus the FED might not have indicated another rise in the foreseeable future.

Why is the dollar getting dumped if interest rates are going up?

[nortic 007] 15/3/2017 18:28

US rates called up . Spike in both the pound and the Euro early doors.

Having run my own business in the past, i know cash flow is key to success. When i look at company accounts, the most important statement for me is operating cash flow and to determine whether a stock is expensive or cheap i compare cash flow to market cap. By my reckoning, SPD is dirt cheap. I'm having trouble justifying buying shares (long term) in any other company because they're all so expensive in comparison to SPD.

Big block traded after hours 3.75m at 294.10.

[nortic 007] 15/3/2017 15:04

Yes I feel the same. I've missed out on BT ,SKY and HIK . Make some money elsewhere and you can always re-enter SPD at a later date.

Just ran out of patience that's all Nortic. I really can't see Ashley buying all these shares around £3 if they were worth much less. Needed to invest the money into something else Good luck

[nortic 007] 15/3/2017 14:55

Wish I had a profitBest of luck with your next investments.

[1fox1] 15/3/2017 14:28

Finally thrown the towel in for a very small profit. Mike can make his bid for the company now :o)

[nortic 007] 15/3/2017 09:18

Useless 23I must admit I'm the same when it comes to SPD.

[useless23] 15/3/2017 09:11

I don't read the press anymore. It's all bullsht.

[nortic 007] 15/3/2017 08:39

I see this morning of another example of one dimensional reporting in the press . They (press) are always trying to champion the shareholder but then also trying to create value destruction which harms........you guessed it, the shareholders . Very strange

[nortic 007] 14/3/2017 08:36

Weak pound which could also trigger interest rate rise not helping sentiment today.

[nortic 007] 13/3/2017 13:18

Au24Good news sir :)

[au24] 13/3/2017 12:58

I noticed when in Spalding (prime shopping outlet) last week that the SPD store had moved from its smaller store to a larger corner store with a greater range of its products now being shown.
Long and strong here as they say:)

[nortic 007] 13/3/2017 08:42

Seller has just awoken .
