Yes a very nice long term hold for me. They owe me nothing, the dividend has given me back my original investment twice over and I look forward to receiving that dividend for many years to come.

[thorpematt] 09/1/2015 08:25

Yep, very solid.

Yield is circa 4% of course. Given that the factory costs have all been paid for WITHOUT debt and given that cash surplus is still being produced and margins are improving what we have here is an extremely strong performance.

Those things I've listed above are nearly always missing in PLCs (many of which are funded on debt and a lack of real cash conversion).

The outlook is of course linked to global economics and europe in particular looks to be struggling. I'd say QE is overdue now. I recognise that dropping oil price is creating deflationary pressure BUT that aside the EU is turning into Japan. It needs stimulus and that could come on Jan 22nd. I think Greece needs to go and the ECB needs to print.

Now if you think about bond yields and finding a place to put your money XPP is IMV a nice hold.

Solid statement from a solid company, steady as she goes.

Forget the dividend - Friday 9th is also the date of the pre-close trading statement. Perhaps the rise is people buying in anticipation that it will be good.

lol yep better than a kick in teeth like the rest of my portfilio lol

A dividend for the third quarter of 14 pence per share will be paid on 9
January 2015 to shareholders on the register at 12 December 2014. This brings
the total dividend for the first three quarters of 2014 to 39 pence per share,
representing an 8% increase over the 36 pence per share paid in respect of the
first three quarters of 2013.

I thought a 60p rise was worth a post!

Triangle trying to expand to the downside again.

[matt123d] 14/10/2014 14:11

That's fine, different strategies, more than one way to skin a cat! Measured move target is 1230p.

[fozzie] 14/10/2014 14:06

I take comfort from the enormous divi i receive each quarter and from reading interims and finals. This is a superbly run company being dragged down by the wider market. This is a ltbh share for me and has been since £2 when i first bought it.

[matt123d] 14/10/2014 14:04

So does that mean short every stock or does it pay to have actionable signals. If you're long here then it's red on the year, quarter, month, week and day. If that's the sort of stock you like holding then take comfort from your opinion that a general market bounce will help you.

[matt123d] 13/10/2014 23:10

Measured move target of 1230p.

[matt123d] 13/10/2014 23:09

Inside month break to the downside giving full time frame continuity. Monthly lower level triangle in the region of 1300p.

[felix99] 10/10/2014 09:04

yes sold quite a few last week or so - I love the stock but you can't fight the trend and never thought their mkts would be shooting the lights out yet. Looks like next qtr ok but after that I think they may have ye old dip - and that's then probably time to buy back big style

[tudes100] 10/10/2014 09:02

Not sure XPP is going to excite anyone too much at the moment but in the current trading environment not profit warning or indicating that they're getting squashed by exchange rate pressures is absolutely fine in my book.
Growing margin, growing market share and a nice yield while we wait for an improvement in the share price Slow and steady wins the race…..

[billy_liar] 10/10/2014 08:44

What's to like about the Trading Statement? In line with Management expectations rather than Market expectations. Certainly doesn't excite me, particularly in the current climate.

I can easily see XPP following the general sector downtrend.

Yes chart looking good woody, I've been adding a few more as we go
along.

[woodcutter] 28/8/2014 13:37

Woody = "a member of the Treasury Select Committee"

Woody = "a member of the Treasury Select Committee"

I'm a touch dubious about this committee, it's true the chairman
has considerable financial knowledge but the others much less so
and I always get the feeling there is a lot of 'showmanship' going
on with most of the committee members.

[woodcutter] 19/8/2014 08:06

seems we're not the only ones thinking that!

Carney accused of delaying rate rise until after elections

Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, has been accused of trying to put off an interest rate rise until after the next general election.

John Mann, a member of the Treasury Select Committee, said the Canadian was "clearly" delaying a rise: "It is abundantly clear that Mark Carney is attempting to delay interest rate increases until after the election when they rise immediately."

His comments come after he last year suggested the relationship between Osborne and Carney "was in danger of being too close".

Woody - "political pressure will prevent a rise at least before the UK general election"

Yes I'm with you on this. Bumping up rates anytime in the next ten months would be political suicide.

Even after the election rates will only rise very slowly. The norm in the past has been quarter point rises but I was wondering recently if governor Carney might try to go down in the history books as the first to implement one eighth point rises, now we have all those computer thingies it would easy to do.
