Agreed - the break-up value does seem much greater than the current market cap. I feel that we will see bigger moves once the disposal of the slate business has been agreed, as investor confidence was shaken up so much by the mismanagement there.

Accsys
LSE: AXS
Something for the serious investor in the
construction / building division.
Accsys Technologies PLC is a UK incorporated
environmental science and technology company which is developing a range of
transformational technologies offering substantial improvements in the cost and
environmental impacts of production for a range of everyday materials.
The most advanced of these is the process for
wood acetylation, which effectively gives softwoods the durability, stability
and reliability of the very best hardwoods. Accsys is presently operating a
large scale wood acetylation test plant in the Netherlands. This is being used
to supply potential customers and licensees across the globe with test
quantities of Accoya, the company's branded wood product.
Accsys has a further range of other processes
which offer potential for future growth. A number of these technologies have
existing patent protection or are subject to pending patent applications and all
have been either proven at pilot-scale or subjected to independent validation by
experts. Accsys is in the process of constructing full-size production plants
for two of its technologies.

Re: the web site, I see they've put back the 'prelim announcement' and 'annual report' by a month each relative to last year, and they're still not brave enough to put a specific date on them.

Alfred McAlpine Plc (MCA LN), owner of the world's biggest slate quarry, rose 3.3 percent to 480 pence after Goldman, Sachs & Co. added the company to its ``conviction buy'' list and said investors overreacted to accounting irregularities.

One website quotes target as 400p but thats an error and I think transcribed with the next share on the list, it was 588p and i will keep looking for the quote

Goldmans comment isnt rocket science !

MIAMI - Thanks for those stats. Strange that HSBC should give the 2nd highest EPS - but come out with a SELL recommendation; especially considering their growth f/c for the current year provides a sub 10 PER. Another teenage scribbler who hasn't yet learnt to read the Markets!!

11th March now less than 4 weeks away; and after the Finals MCA will no doubt re-commence their share buybacks. Has to be right surely. Personally I think they should adopt a more generous dividend policy; that would certainly appeal to the fund managers - and to we retail investors for that matter.

An interesting little tool I came across today:



Steve - agree wholeheartedly with your Post. I suppose the only dampener might be the market as a whole falling back, or the UK economy proving problematic. Though with the extent of public expenditure it would seem that MCA's prospects might remain undimmed. They certainly seem to be picking up all the work they can handle - it is surely now just a case of showing that they can translate activity into reasonable profits.

Wanted to increase my holding again today what a pity moved up.

Hi Currypasty - what steered you in this direction. My view is pretty well encapsulated in my post of two days ago. What I do find interesting is the sheer volume on UP days in this stock; also the number of trades as it moves - plenty of 10,000 trades. After all, £30,000 is not a sum to be sneezed at for a retail investor; and an asset manager would surely be buying in larger trades. A drop through 300 would be short-term bearish to 280, however would anticipate good support at that level, prior to another forward move based on very sound fundamentals.

I think mca better decide quickly how its going to give back the 100m to shareholders cos this is tanking fast with the next support level @ 328.5p
Share buy backs have never done a great deal to enhance shareholder value infact they have the opposite effect see etp started buying shares back at 570p and by the time it had finished they were 425p.
As the selling gains momentum with investors locking in gains stop losses activated all the shareholder value in the shareprice could be wiped out very quickly.

Cheer up VENOMOUSVIPER! Its still 419p, nowhere near 400p yet :-) It could still drop a bit though, if many current shareholders decide to take profits. There could be a limited number of new investors interested right now as the earnings estimates for the current year show negative growth, and there are a lot of new acquisitions are unproven, so many may wait to see how things turn out before buying. I'm hanging on to my shares though.
