The seemingly cheap stocks on AIM maybe aren't so cheap after all in this uncertain and difficult economic climate.
Good luck all.

Sadly the sectors that this company serves are all in the mire..in fact property and banking are about the worst hit of all. I guess nobody expects earnings to be met this year so the selling continues.

market cap £11m, does that give a pe of about 5?

Its taking a right bashing with this seller,Wonder how many more He,s got

[jcscumbria] 25/4/2008 09:48

It's possibly due to the belief that the property and financial sectors will be tightening their belts given the current economic climate. I'm a great believer in buying shares of solid companies when they seem to be out of favour with everybody else. Long term, I think these look good.

[marvelman] 24/4/2008 16:38

Strip out intangeables and this company is trading below its Net Asset Value....what on earth is going on.Cant see where they have put a foot wrong.

[kenatbabken] 23/4/2008 19:32

Persistent seller with 5k trades is bringing this down I,ve bought back in with 20,000 today to see if he,s finished, it should spring back up then hopefully

[jcscumbria] 22/4/2008 12:17

Not sure what this company has to do for the share price to go up, quite amazing really.

[timstonvasey] 10/4/2008 08:56

[fred2971] 08/4/2008 21:28

Why does this always disappoint - loads of announcements, no upgrades. is it just a trap? given property looks bound to collapse like todays Halifax index I cant see this breaking out for a long time. Any views pls

[robhammers] 07/4/2008 09:05

If u take a look at previous results does it show profit growth slowing?

[capimus] 04/4/2008 17:32

The reaction of this stock to good news, ie no reaction, tells us, gentlemen, that the bear is loose.

[darias] 04/4/2008 08:27

The company does not hide its light under a bushel and one should consider the following statement in the news release.

"The Group employs 150 staff in London and the South East and has a forecast 2007
turnover in excess of £42m."

Now I know commercial space is expensive in London but to come out with such a statement seems to suggest a projected t/over of £280000 per member of staff. Perhaps they do a substantial amount of contracting out - cleaners, design, leaflet folding, etc however they should screw a decent profit out of such a t/over or they are employing needless staff and do not have managerial competence. (Which we know is not true)

So how come the company is only valued at 14.23m that is single figures even below 5 possibly p/e ratio.

[timstonvasey] 04/4/2008 07:25

Today's news is great but i have mixed feeling about the situation

The shares dropped 7.5% for no apparent reason. The only reasoning i can some up for this is a CGT cash in or the MM knew about this news and have dropped the price as they feel there will be big demand today. Here's hopin:-)

[timstonvasey] 27/3/2008 10:39

At last some positive movement!

[timstonvasey] 03/3/2008 22:32

cheap or not will people cash in after the results and what will that figure be?

[capimus] 03/3/2008 20:21

They should give us the 4million then lol

[jakleeds] 03/3/2008 18:43

Ticking along nicely. Still very cheap imo, given that over £4m of the market cap is cash....

[timstonvasey] 03/3/2008 08:42

Absolutely!
