This seems to be the property

Why does this website state "Re-listed on Mar 13, 2017 " ?

[mister md] 04/4/2017 14:38

indeed. "The total acquisition cost to the Company, including Goods and Services Tax ("GST") and stamp duty, will be approximately SGD 73.0 million (GBP34.5 million)."

Spent an awful lot on that Singapore HQ .... I bet there's a strong smell of fish in the building

little bit of automated buying here today... is it finally going to switch to recovery mode, the chart is not yet looking that way ?

Agreed....total SCAM.

Thank you, I am picking a few up also.

Sorry for the delay !

If you do a google search there are a number of articles about Paul Mumford. I don’t want to be in breach of copy write so here is a summary.

He was a stock broker in the 60’s and then a fund manager. He doesn’t describe his approach as value or contrarian investing but money making ! He wants the 10-baggers rather than 25-50% in the funds that he manages. He says he achieves this by buying shares when they are cheap and selling when expensive. He finds he does things that are unpopular because he is buying stocks that are out of favour in unfashionable areas of the market.

His preferred sector at the moment is the retail sector (which everybody hates) -because there are stocks that are yielding 6-8% and on single figure PEs. He likes stocks such as Debenhams, Musgraves, Laura Ashley rather than buying the ASOSes or the Boohoos of this world, which have done incredible well but are on very high ratings.

You tend to find double bottomed women shopping there!

Google an article by Paul Mumford, Fund Manager at Cavendish Asset Management - he thinks Laura Ashley is undervalued. dyor.

Yes share price not so nice I agree, although I have been
buying some more whilst down here. It is a strange industry
this if the share price was 30p investors would be more confident
and would be happy to buy, but at 15p the opposite.

Nice dividend received here today but share price not so nice! Living in everlasting hope of a takeover at a premium value.

[srpactive] 15/3/2017 16:17

Aly offer now moved to 17p, interesting to say the least.

Lol...scam....heading for zero/suspension.

If Nylon Boy is posting here it is time to buy.

[mister md] 09/3/2017 14:12

I won't be adding to my small (and dwindling value-wise) holding here until more evidence of a turn-around. The shareprice drop is so steep (particularly in the context of rallying markets worldwide) I suspect there are some nasties to be announced.

[srpactive] 08/3/2017 18:12

I started buying years ago right into the teens,
the dividend has been handsome, sold a few along the
way, but have decided to start buying again.

A fifty percent plus retrace is enough, even taking the
Singapore purchase into account.

As with my gfs, investors need to be patient I was buying
there in the dip. Itv also, so many options.

Every investor should only do what they are comfortable with, whether
buying or selling and everyone must respect that as I do.

Is this lost in the 80's Company still going, jeez it should be put down like family pet that has gone beyond its normal life expectancy, you know like the moth eaten blind dog, hobbling around still.


Down 25% since then, chart in a death spiral to zero, unless there is a massive swing to all things chintzy lol
