Pattern of trades starting Friday is interesting. Looks like someone either knows something to me or has decided that they want some stock.

Very pleased to see this moving up on what is generally a horrible day on the ftse.

That would be nice start to 2015 but is looking good.

[gargoyle2] 05/1/2015 08:59

Breaking out here. Could be back up to the 70s soon imo.

[battlebus2] 02/1/2015 08:26

Totally agree,it's all looking a lot better for CTO...

Looks like a good board appointment to me. At least in the fact that he's a substantial shareholder in the company. Other than a bunch of options, the current three executive directors hold less than 25 grand's worth of shares, despite having around 65 years with the company between them. At last there is some 'skin in the game' at board level.

Some very odd sells this morning after nothing much for ages. I suppose with Dow collapse anyone nervous may have chosen to get out.
I'm still very optimistic about this stock

[cc2014] 14/12/2014 13:04

FTSE and some construction stocks gets smashed to pieces and yet not much volume at all which I take to be a good sign. I'm surprised that there haven't been some sells simply due to general fear and the need to preserve capital.

So, I think Monday will be telling as people will have had time to think about things over the weekend.

Everything so far suggests that holders have confidence over future profit streams and are happy to hold on. Of course it would only take one big player to decide to dump a million shares to change things but that's the risk with this sort of stock

Indeed, i suspect this will be a slow but steady burner.

Great to see your invested here Scottishfield, i'm optimistic management will have learnt over the last contract disputes and will see those multi million contracts to a satisfactory outcome.

[scottishfield] 17/11/2014 16:59

joined you guys here over last few days, looks good for growth & inc.

[battlebus2] 17/11/2014 16:21

I think the chart shows we have a long way to climb to return to the levels pre the July fall.

Pathetic - £880 - tells me he is a make weight, no confidence in the business, reluctant buyer and probably a poodle of the Executive Directors.

I am very wary of this management team they have always flattered to deceive, regularly being surprised and accident prone - the long term chart tells the story.

We know that cc2014, he could have bought a few more is all we're saying but as i say i suppose it's a start.

[cc2014] 14/11/2014 18:27

Share purchase was required as part of appointment as non-exec

[battlebus2] 14/11/2014 17:41

I suppose he needs to save for the Mrs Christmas box :))

[owenski] 14/11/2014 17:39

Not exactly a vote of commitment

[battlebus2] 14/11/2014 17:37

2000 shares ,a start i suppose....

TClarke plc ("the Company") has today received notification that Mr Tony Giddings, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, purchased 2,000 ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company ("Shares") at 44 pence per share on 30(th) October 2014. This purchase was undertaken in order to comply with the company's articles on minimum shareholding requirements for board members.

Following this transaction Mr Giddings now has beneficial interests in 2,000 Shares. This amounts to less than 0.1% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

Continuing to rise this morning, if that's worth a lol!

[hvs] 13/11/2014 13:24

lol !!!!!

lol !!!!!!

[cc2014] 13/11/2014 13:22

Very pleased to see this morning's statement. I've been quietly picking these up over the last few months and had terrible trouble this and last week getting hold of any stock at 43p and below. Clearly those in the know started buying a few days before the news.

Pleased to say I'm very nearly at my breakeven now and will be continuing to hold for some considerable time as originally planned.

Speedsgh...hxxp://www.tclarke.co.uk/images/uploads/documents/TCK-Interim-Report_2014.pdf
Building services group T Clarke PLC Tuesday halved its interim dividend, as it continues to be affected by legal and contractual issues and the slow uptake of schemes in its largest operating division.
The company posted pretax profit of GBP200,000 for the six months ended June 30, down from GBP800,000 a year earlier, as revenue fell to GBP109.8 million from GBP114.7 million.
T Clarke shares were quoted down 20% at 52.44 pence Tuesday morning, having hit a 52-week low of 42.75p in early trade.
The London-based firm has been beset by legal and contractual woes in recent times which have taken its toll on the business.

ridicule - Thanks for the background info. Still doing my DD here so it is very useful. Is there reference to the reasons behind the 'one off' cut in any of the company's announcements? TIA

[ridicule] 13/11/2014 11:33

speedsgh When the dividend was cut it was done specifically to cover the 'one off' £600k settlement payment arising from the disputes last business year. It was not cut because dividend cover could not be met or because of a long term decline in the Company business performance. While one cannot be certain, I expect the dividend to be restored asap because the Directors have shares and their interests are aligned with all the shareholders.
