Fingers
Many thanks for your excellent charts. AS popout says, MER is a no-brainer, and I got in PKW, having done the research, at 66p before today's sharp rise.

Mears have never failed in improving on previous results. With results due on 22 March I would fully expect to see the trend continuing with ever increasing profit margins, enhanced EPS, dividend growth and the all important update on the increasing order book.

Check out the chatrs and you will note that they tend to have a good run upto, and following the results so IMHO they would appear to be a no brainer at current levels.

Regards

Excellent analysis fingers. I got back in to MER yesterday and will check out PKW. Under 245p seems a good entry level for what could well be a good run with the sector doing well.

[deehill] 05/3/2005 12:26

It seems that, for the moment, 245 is the 'bump' point.On consideration that cannot be bad for a stock which was around 206 at the turn of the year. It is 5p above the cornerstone sale/purchase of Mr Holt's stock and provides a comfortable 5p bumper for Stuart Black's entry into the company. Now we sit back and await further announcements which, possibly, may not just be related to contract gains. Its difficult to 'feel' this company from afar without constant comment about it - even if its not favorable- but I remain VERY bullish.

Never knock good news. Just await the REAL KNOCKERS - like the Daily and Sunday editions of the Telegraph who have called it wrong on Mears for January '04 AND January '05. No wonder there is to be some culling of, at least, the idiots who compile the trash that the Telegraph calls 'informed City Opinion'. Incidentally, why ANY Journalist would opt for strike action (no matter who they worked for)in the current climate of reduced paper sales, I dont know.At one time I would have said that I just couldnt do without my Times Business section. Well, distance cures that but, when I return to the UK and discover that it is,now, produced in a Daily Mirror size - the appeal disappears. Why would anyone with a computer even NEED a paper, particularly when it produces the ill informed comment referred to above. Strike all you want buddy boys, you are going the same way as the other workers when they moved to Wapping. If there is a computer program to write a novel, then there sure as hell has to be one which will produce the trash pumped out by the average journalist and, of course, a junior edition for Financial Journalists.

probably the kiss of death when it gets a mention in the IC.

[deehill] 27/2/2005 11:36

Why cant I write stirring English, like the I.C. article ? Onwards and upwards.

[mdrans1] 25/2/2005 16:12

Today's Iinvestors Chronicle cover feature "Shares with stamina"

"Mears should be well-placed to continue on its upward growth trajectory. You can expect the shares to follow".

[deehill] 25/2/2005 15:19

Please RCT2 dont give up the idea of shorting. It can be very prfitable but it is essential that you pick a volatile stock that has had a recent track record of lost targets. Point one. There is often considerable optimism that they cannot POSSIBLY produce another profit warning - and they DO. Carefully assessed and tried you WILL make money. Go to Tradindex.com and open a practice account. This enables you to 'play' without actually trading. Within the listing of stocks I guarantee that there will be at least five that you COULD make money from. Try it, then come back and tell us how your fared.

[rcturner2] 25/2/2005 12:16

No I wont be opening my shorts again for a while. Last time was a painful experience.

[deehill] 24/2/2005 11:01

Gosh RCT2, are you back? Willing to bet yr all on another short? Tell you what, if they dont finish March - or say mid April - higher than the present price I will personally guarantee you a stay at my clinic to ensure that we rid you of these disturbing fantasies. You will love this part of S.America. The time WILL come when your words will have meaning but I fear that you will not be alive to relish the outcome. In the meantime, I am actively considering a ward to treat deranged short sellers (old 'Evil' has just dropped a packet and he is a SKILLED trader.But then,I think he was treated at another Clinic}Oh. Questions have been asked as to why the Clinic is situate where it is and the answer is 'cheaper drugs and low rentals and NO tax.'Add to that supervisory control akin to building regulations in Florida (money can buy ANYTHING there - and, would you believe, it can here) God. The Capitalist system is great

Has the Mears bubble finally burst?

[blindfaith2] 18/2/2005 12:05

Nasty drop today !

[deehill] 17/2/2005 10:26

But. Back to Mears and the time may be a comin when judicious purchases will rule the day and result in profit for the buyer. Remember. There was a MAJOR purchasor at 240p who took Mr Holt's stock.

[deehill] 09/2/2005 09:44

Tinker. I fancy Montpelier - but I can't tell you why, cos I dont know myself. Check way back on Wyatt - I may even have started the thread and dont lose sight of them. I truly believe that they are worth the current price and will be worth double. As to Tesco, whenever I am in UK I troll around the supermarkets and observe and what I observe at Tesco I DO NOT LIKE. Just as M&S grew complacent and arrogant so do I divine the same trends at Tesco. NOBODY is too big that they cannot fall.Really its just a question of how long and how.Even SteamRollers fall into big pits if not closely controlled.

[tinker] 08/2/2005 13:41

deehill, tell me. Is there a fast way to track your postings? I saw that you had threads on Montpelier, Tesco and Mears but noe Wyatt. I suppose the index is one way.

[deehill] 08/2/2005 12:27

No. I did not. What I DID say was that I believed I had a hot one and that it had been mentioned on ADVFN postings. Since I cover only about four of the posting sites it should have taken but moments to identify Wyatt as the company that I was interested in and, in spite of the recent price rise, am still interested in. Needless to say I stacked up my purchases at sensible prices but feel there is still a considerable amount in it for others.

[tinker] 08/2/2005 11:38

deehill. Not sure you actually mentioned WYATT anywhere but thanks for the tip.

[deehill] 08/2/2005 09:51

No word from all you posters that you have spotted the movement in WYATT yet. Are you all asleep out there. You could have already made arounbd 30% in a couple of days and you cant say I didnt warn you.In the meantime our banker stock continues to tick UP.
