Topped up on the pull back this morning.

Found these broker figs on the companys website and overall things look very impressive given present market conditions...

[gswredland] 15/4/2009 15:03

Thanks for that CR. You know how many and at what price directors bought into HYC please?

[cockneyrebel] 15/4/2009 14:12

Doing well today still - loads more to come imo, anyone that traded out today likely to regret it big time I'd say.

If you want 3 more like this then HYC, SWG and IRV imo.

HYC in particular (mega low PE) tho all 3 have seen directors buying - HYC has seen monster buying from directors way above this current price while all three have had director buying of good size above the current price. IRV goes xd for a big divi next week.

[gswredland] 15/4/2009 12:21

Nearly as good as my other favourite at the moment..NBPO

[whiterussians] 15/4/2009 11:36

up it goes

[gumarabic] 15/4/2009 09:23

350p written on its bum

[devonlad] 15/4/2009 09:18

Looking too strong for any resistance at £3, it will sail past!

[chester] 15/4/2009 09:14

Looking good. £3 first resistance.

[gumarabic] 15/4/2009 08:50

about to head to 300p

[mykai] 14/4/2009 21:41

Bought these at 2 quid thanks to the CR cheers

[realcooltrader] 14/4/2009 18:08

Yes, I was, thanks CR.

[cockneyrebel] 14/4/2009 17:54

If you were a holder when it went XD Realcooltrader then the divi will be paid to you on May 8th, should be in your account on that day or within a couple of days of that date.

Cheers Chris - good to have principles but these are still screaming cheap considerin gthey haven't disappointed in any way having grown well and increased the divi so much. Add to that the director buying and it's still a screamer of a buy in my book.

Latest broker forecasts that have come in since Aril 1st suggest eps of 43p, 56.6p and 45.9p. Lake the average of the lower two say and 44.5p eps looks conservative.

PE still just 6.3 and I reckon that leaves scope to beat by some way. 16p looks like the divi, 5.7%. For a co that has been growing so strongly, gasn't disappointed and where directors are confident enough to be buying loads thats still very cheap in my book for a class act.

AGM on May 6th - they should have something to blow their trumpet about then and rightly so imo.

CR

[chrisjg] 14/4/2009 17:01

regrets - I have a few, this is one good luck to holders I am afraid I am still sticking to my principle that I will not buy till the technical indicators show a buy - my nervousness at 180p has cost me and I should have had the conviction to buy on the break above 200p :-(

all the best hope to see a small reversal so that I can get in Chrisjg

[realcooltrader] 14/4/2009 15:54

Yep, looking well horny, to coin a phrase ;-) CR, do you know when the 10p divi is due, the results just say:

"The final dividend, if approved by shareholders, will be payable in May 2009."

[cockneyrebel] 14/4/2009 15:43

Great day, look at th curve up on the chart getting steeper by the day.

That chart's going back to the fiver medium term imo. 350p by the AGM in a few weeks looks a cert.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 14/4/2009 11:43

Well these wer e£8 a year or so ago and earnings have still increased while the divi has risen 25% nearly this year - Sugs comes to mind - or Madness as they were, when you look at how cheap these have been sold down to and how cheap they still are imo.
