Acal Share Discussion Threads

At a loss for words really - crazy 7% fall on just a few thousand shares traded?

In twelve years of investing (2008 crash aside) I've never known a share release such continually positive news & yet move down so relentlessly - starting to put me off small cap shares altogether.

Unless there's something I'm missing here, this must surely reverse at some point - maybe 20th June for reasons already stated.

Very strange times!

strange times.....

[valediction] 15/6/2011 08:39

I do not want to see this below 305p

It could be that ACL's impending exclusion from the FTSE's Fledgling index is part of what's been holding it back of late (see the link below).



According to the explanation given to me on the FOUR thread (post 1123) it appears that ACL's exclusion has been a "fait accompli" for the last two months - a possible explanation for some of the recent under performance imo.

Changes take effect on 20th June.

Another tron-like move from ACL - strange old share this one.

Questor share tip: Acal shrugs off tech bubble fears with growth strategy

After real estate, technology has been the best performing "supersector" in the FTSE 350 this year. Outperformance of the sector looks set to continue – and this should benefit components distributor Acal.

Questor says BUY

Valediction - probably... Sold a lump some time ago for 333 and went into cad at 34p. Think these are easy to trade provided the spread narrows.. imho

[valediction] 03/6/2011 08:42

Looks like you were spot on with the timing of your buy Targatarga.

EM lets hope it stays up this time, its one day chart does move like its been driven by one of those "Tron bikes" 90 degree turns and straight lines.

[epsilon mojo] 03/6/2011 08:29

Strong start, ICs Buy rating probably didn't do any harm - either that or short term sellers cleared and/or broker notes/upgrades beginning to seep through?

Lets hope the rise lasts this time.

[valediction] 02/6/2011 17:42

Lets hope so EM

Someone seems confident in ACL - £150Ks worth bought at 310p (maybe a post result director buy?).

[valediction] 01/6/2011 22:26

Bit of a "Turkey" today ACL but I have no doubt it will return to form and Soar up again.
Just not tomorrow. Dow's worse one day drop since last August.

[epsilon mojo] 01/6/2011 21:50

Brave calls targatarga/valediction, especially where ACL is concerned - predictably unpredictable it seems.

Dow plummeting & the FTSE likely to follow suit in the morning - so of course ACL will probably go up!?

Good to see some late buying, though, and nice to hear the opinions of others on this board for a change ;-)

[valediction] 01/6/2011 21:23

Hmmmmmmm I am wincing at what tomorrow morning may bring.

Very strange, still shoul be 350 within a month imo

[targatarga] 01/6/2011 19:22

picked up 2k at 310p near close. Can't see these dropping further.... imho

[valediction] 01/6/2011 17:39

I agree, opening up 7% and now down.. 2.5% ish.

"Riddle me this" as one might say to the caped crusader.
Dow on a big slide , tough day.

[epsilon mojo] 01/6/2011 12:48

I give up, now down for the day - unbelievable!

[epsilon mojo] 01/6/2011 12:03

Amazed anyone would sell after those results, each to their own though.

Long term this is only going one way imo, just look how weak it looked this time last year & where it went from there - same again this year imv.

[epsilon mojo] 01/6/2011 08:32

Still remarkably low volume given the strength of these results - sure to get a good write up in the press imo.

[liveinhope] 01/6/2011 08:04

First trades were small buys at 335 + 336. That is encouraging.

[epsilon mojo] 01/6/2011 08:03

About time!

[valediction] 01/6/2011 08:02

Yes looked good to me (long read), and a strong finish by the Dow yesterday bodes well.
Up up and away ?

[liveinhope] 01/6/2011 08:01

A pleasing 10% dividend increase.

[epsilon mojo] 01/6/2011 07:52

Underlying profit/eps well ahead of brokers forecast, continued strong cashflow & yet another earnings enhancing (for next year) acquisition anounced.

Brokers forecasts for 2011/12 bound to be raised imo & must surely open up?(although who knows given the way its been recently).
