Looking at a back issue of Investors Chronicle (01/09/2000), the shares were a buy at 17p. Bull points were a strong order book and high levels of repeat business and strong cash generation. Bear points were low margins and start-up costs of opening new offices in Europe.I assume all this has changed going by the fall in the shares. Would like to know their current opinion on this stock.
Please DYOR.

Shares will rise once results
are out and on news of new
comissions in uk and spain

Now, if only he could tell us what the results will be !

I think they have made two costly decisions in recent years but at the time they seemed sound - 1. to buy a nice place in the city for their business; for a little company this marked a major dent in profits and 2. to focus on design and architecture for the IT business, so they were epxosed to any downturn. However, they have an increasingly strong presence in Europe and also serve a market where spend is not determined by profit, namely the civil sector. I expect results to reflect the share price - bearing in mind the share price has fallen 80% since this time last year. And longer term, I am sure this company will grow.

24/12/01 All buy no sell.
Could it be a sign of good news?

[gdjs100] 26/12/2001 19:33

Still no results...

[barn owl] 19/12/2001 21:05

19% fall today at 4.25p. Worth picking a few up,or are they going bust?
Thinking of a long-term punt.
Comments from other investors would be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance.

E-mailed Aukett two weeks asking when their results were due... no reply as of yet. Shocking customer relations.

If I held any shares I might consider giving them a ring and demanding some answers...

I hope this one picks up soon cos it's my December stockpick of the month.

[pme104] 05/12/2001 21:23

Ignore that last message. Interims were about two weeks later this year than last which would mean full year results may be later also. Maybe next week or even beginning of week after that.

[pme104] 05/12/2001 13:57

Its a bit worrying that there is still no announcement of results.

[pme104] 29/11/2001 11:43

Regarding the tip, remember that there was a trading statement expecting profits to halve this year. I.e about 1m not 2m. If this was the case P/E would still only be around 5 with a decent divi, but there has been very little news regarding contracts so results may be worse. I still hold, hoping for a recovery but I'd be wary of diving in without some more research / company information. Results should be due in the next week or so.

One to waych rather than to buy, Ramped heavily on SMTM by both TW and the CEO---ther price subsequently fall back rather badly

[red army] 29/11/2001 10:46

ALL

Be very careful of this one.

Ther are better investments than this one.

[dondee] 29/11/2001 10:37

I received it, yet have never been involved with JUS.
Cheers all.

[books123] 27/11/2001 11:41

gowise

must admit thought the same thing

[gowise] 26/11/2001 20:58

I would interested to know how many of these advfn users receiving this 'tip' (as I did) were involved in JUS. There seems to be a few names here I recognise. A number of email addresses were collected during the demise of JUS on the bb.

[ahkeen] 25/11/2001 22:42

All,

Although I have to admit the delivery of this "tip" was a bit unusual, the fundementals do look good.

Will put on the watchlist.

The share price dropped simply because the amount of projects throughout europe were being shelved.You only have to look at germany to see how bad things are.I do not see this price increasing until the environment changes and generally things pick up.
