All this talk of manipilation & rigging of share prices,reminded me of
my b/b No85. I was complaining then about this very same thing, & it seems
to me the persons responsible use Ultra as one of their props. Yesterday
there were some very funny deals early in the morning I remember someone
bought 1 share with a spread of about 15 points. I do not pretend to
understand what the ins & outs are about. Perhaps someone with a more
insight could explain whats going on. Maybe I'm imagining it all, but it
sure do'nt look right to me.

[l.parker] 26/2/2008 16:23

Sold at 1205.

[l.parker] 26/2/2008 15:19

I am in a quandry now about selling Ultra, bought at 1125 (2600) have just read
about the interest Ultra are considering entering the nulear electronics arena.
Do I hold on, or sell? This Co is so forward moving. Luckily I've been rewarded with some handsome profits over the last couple of months. I think I'll
stick for a while & see where their going.. I know I should be taking profit,
& might be regreting it.

I. Parker -
Chemring was and will be interesting below £20 Thus when it "dips".
At present levels I feel a bit dizzy.
Unfortunately I sold a bit early because I felt
uncomfortable after the explosion in its italian factory.
But as they say a profit is a profit.

[l.parker] 14/2/2008 13:38

beaudelaire,
Your right about Chemring.Unfortunately I have not the funds to to take advantage of your advice, very tempting to borrow some money,but I've
been bitten many times over the last 10 years & I am much more cautious,
in my old age!
I hope you are reaping some rewards from CHG, good luck.
Will be tracking ULE every minute of the day & closing if it gets up to
around £12.

[l.parker] 06/2/2008 09:18

Back in £1125.

[beaudelaire] 05/2/2008 13:32

From the Telegraph's tips for 2008, dated 28 Dec:


Ultra Electronics' defence technology has made it a minor jewel in Britain's high-end manufacturing base. It is a world leader in anti-submarine warfare, for example, and has kit on projects such as Eurofighter.

In all, the company has 21 niche businesses in 104 markets - and Ultra is either number one or two in all of them. No one product or programme accounts for more than 5pc of revenues, cushioning the company against delays in programmes or when - inevitably - some defence projects go sour.

Not surprisingly, Ultra's shares have carried a premium and the company is frequently touted as a bid target (though if it were ever taken over it would destroy Ultra's unique position as independent supplier to the defence majors).

But the shares have come off recently. On a price-earnings ratio to 2008 of 16.2 times, the shares are at the lower end of their trading range. Given that stock markets in 2008 will be unpredictable, investors will want quality and assurance.

Ultra may not be the FTSE's brightest star for 2008, but at £13.05 it is in a great position to outperform the market at the very least.

Still holding.
