I am in the same position - share price will recover on any good news - or should I say bad news if gas masks are needed and orders come forward - I am not over excited by China prospects - jarbie

I'll try...but it won't make up for the SP

mikey - console yourself with a good yield - jarbie

[mikey_b] 29/8/2007 19:14

my stake is in decline.....

[jarbie] 29/8/2007 18:22

what is going on guys ? - falls without any news - does anyone know something we do not know ? - US government holding back on gas masks commitment that we do know, but for how long ? - perhaps indefinetly - any feedback would be appreciated - somebody is building up a stake - Gartmore Investments - jarbie

China taste for milk on the rise. AVON products are in the frame somewhere, maybe an update someday from them on how business is going out there.

Anything coming up here? I admit to having a couple of quid on this one drifting in my portfolio.

Has anyone an explanation for the 3% fall in share price today? Thanks.

Gartmore Investment Ltd ups stake by 1,466,926 to 11.439%

There seems to be some buying coming in, any gossip? maybe a rumour of a big order coming through or just some pre-dividend buying, interesting.

"These are the first real results which truly reflect the beginnings of the transformation of the business ..."

Good article div - difficult to call this one, a gamble whether the growth will come through or are the shares fair value at worst anyway? There seems to have been one market buying at the bid price now and before results, wonder if they know someting we don't?

Avon Rubber -- On the Bounce

Company still sounds positive but I am little cautious that only Dairy market showing a profit. Aerosol&Gasket + Protection and defense showing a loss, dividend not covered, debt has risen, market seems confident it is still on course to deliver. A hold for now methinks.

[mikey_b] 17/5/2007 10:10

Well it's not but can be negated in the taxation regime going forward.

[piedro] 17/5/2007 10:07

I'm not too sure yet.

¿When is a loss a profit?

[mikey_b] 17/5/2007 09:58

Thanks Piedro. Rather positive then. Great.

Nice open. Maybe someone has access to an update

[wipo1] 17/5/2007 08:08

i am not really convinced, profits only 138k, debt up to 10m, fire brigade sales very poor. Company putting a positive spin on other areas but not generating much profits.

[lanzarote666] 17/5/2007 08:02

Results today. No skeletons in the cupboard.
Recovery story from here. Just waiting for the growth story to kick in.
Like watching paint dry recently. Must see a blue day today.

[mikey_b] 15/5/2007 10:42

Our expectation of a return to profitability in the first half year remains unchanged. This would represent a significantly improved result compared to the £3.3million loss incurred by our continuing businesses in the second half of 2006.

If they managed that I would actually expect some re-rating to occur.

One broker rating of strong buy currently.

[mikey_b] 15/5/2007 10:37

I was actually joking about the share price plummeting hoping to get some response but it looks like this is a hold and forget stock.

[valter] 15/5/2007 10:35

thanks mikey.
