if the FTSE and markets recover and take out this years high then hopefully that will mean a push north here. I continue to hold

[philmac56] 08/8/2010 14:55

Can't give you an honest answer, i've been in here for nearly 10 yrs now, still to see a profit for my troubles.

But, Intrim out soon, mid sept?

Not been close to 19.5p, since sept 09.

Hopefully it will start a move upwards as reporting is due, then move on upwards to break past the 19.5 set last year, with (hopefully) a good set of 6 month results, and a good divi to follow.

it seems a great investment.......but, it hasn't really taken off in 5 years..why..?

[philmac56] 08/8/2010 08:59

Lets hope so and turn the solid into pennies, into pounds

[philmac56] 08/8/2010 08:58

Hope fully see you on the new thread!!!

The future is solid

[philmac56] 08/8/2010 08:40

I'll start this of with.

What's going on here! Why are we being held back by MM's!!!!!!!!!!!!

The future must be brighter for LA.
1) Money in bank - cash at hand.
2) No Debt.
3) New / developing outlets - train stations.
4) Management with finger on pulse.


a) Oversold?
b) Ripe for take over?
c) Ripe for management buyout??

Add comments / views as you will, please

No harm in trying. How much will ALY expand? and how? management are on the ball for sure , finger on the pulse one might say. No debt, lots of cash in the bank, business model changing towards more income, good divi,but not a much traded stock? I rest my case here, no point in posting again.Best of luck to investers.

[philmac56] 07/8/2010 08:02

So is it time to start a new thread!!

A BRIGHTER FUTURE WITH LA?????

[minho] 06/8/2010 19:26

O K , Interest is gaining, look at the trades, any vol pushes this sky high, rerating soon? Some much larger trading in the buy side over the last 2 weeks. This is set to go up. AIMHO. PDYOR. This is only for fun.

[philmac56] 06/8/2010 16:09

minho, well, not as yet, the blow job! out

[philmac56] 06/8/2010 08:01

My holdings av at 15p, now is the time!!!

[philmac56] 06/8/2010 08:00

Lets hope so!!

[minho] 06/8/2010 07:36

Looks like ALY is ready for a blow out upwards, could be today.

[minho] 05/8/2010 20:53

philmac56 I dont think that is the case here, there is a lot of equity in this stock, and punters know it.A lot of investers in ALY will reinvest there DIVI at any time ,this stock is slow but when you look at the chart it has a lot of movement in a short space of time.Look what some one paid on plus markets today 13.85 for 100k. way over ask. Not an easy stock to follow, as it is little traded, plus the MMs seem to work it.Not a trading stock.ALY can move hard at any time,the % changes mean little it seems on the daily basis.The market is a strange place, never forget it is real money being traded here.Some good posts on here.

[philmac56] 05/8/2010 18:25

I can't understand, why investors seem to sell as soon as they have their divi cheque! in hand/banked.

Why wait, as soon as the record date is passed, it is safe to sell.

Unless they are hoping for an upward movement, some how, it doesn't seem to happen!!

I'd expect an upward movement when divi is announced, and prior to reord date, but again, very little movement.

WHY!!!!

ANY IDEA's

[minho] 05/8/2010 16:01

Yes Sir , what a great Divi I had this morning. Laura Ashley are well and truly under valued.I would think this is being held down for some reason?? Just a thought.

[scotsman2] 05/8/2010 15:44

thats why I'm in both clock!

[clocktower] 05/8/2010 15:16

HMV may well be but there is likely to be a lot more growth here imo.

[scotsman2] 05/8/2010 15:01

bobby look at HMV if you want cheap and good divi ! ;-)

[bobby.ifa] 05/8/2010 12:50

Nice divi cheque received from Laura this morning. I can't beleive how cheap these are relative to the yield- No debt and a strong brand with loyal customer following.

[scotsman2] 05/8/2010 10:35

nice move up today!

[minho] 04/8/2010 21:12

As to be expected, DIVI pay out today, re invest to day before the rest make up there minds. Good company, NO debt, marketshare increasing, MONEY in the bank, lots of it. MM taking the mickey. YES will hold, for next DIVI. Many thanks to posters for there imput on there value on market cap for ALY.

[scotsman2] 04/8/2010 15:25

FTSE and markets recovering, perhaps a push to new highs by end of year ? should be reflected here IMO
