This will not go anywhere until the uncertainty around the litigation is sorted.

Co. is profitable and and they can cover divi. comfortably but what they cannot stand are the persistent problems they get when they mess up on projects.

This will hold them back alone as the one thing that serious investors hate is uncertainty!

Think about it, they will probably make £200K profit on the Farm scheme. If they build on a silage pit or knock a prize bull or two over with their crane then, BINGO! profit straight down the toilet and a few months in court!

Should have expected some selling to day as it's three days after 'ex' divi date.Most people don't realise you can sell on the 'ex'.So now they are out of the way(perhaps a few more tomorrow) we should see a return to overall buying.
Talking about dividend it's now over 8% !! Gotta wait a year for it tho.

I have brought some,profitable company, good dividend,worth more than this.

[mitchy] 07/4/2005 09:39

buys outweighing sells over the last few days..

[mitchy] 06/4/2005 09:05

could be a coincidence but the 16k trade at 8.58 isn't me selling...i'm still in.

[mitchy] 06/4/2005 08:46

Charts (short and long term)indicating a rise from here also.

[mitchy] 06/4/2005 08:36

This should bounce from here for no other reason than the drop is overdone in my opinion....this is a profitable company when all is said and done regardless of litigation.

ps, the 16k trade was my buy

It went through Robbie Burn's stop loss of 13p hence a stream of small sells.

Thanks noiseboy, sounds likely since it usually goes up when he announces a buy. Surely this must be a good buying opportunity at present though if you intend to hold longer term.

[noiseboy] 01/4/2005 20:19

Robbie Burns Sold out.. not sure if that had an effect though

[warranty] 31/3/2005 22:48

Only just back from being away a day or two, anybody see a reason for the big drop yesterday as can't see any news???

Birse have dropped 20% since Oct and I still think there is further to slide until the Citibank issue is resolved. DYOR etc.

Absolutely Chrissey; I don't know why Mr Peter Birse doesn't return as non exec Chairman and replace the Chief Exec etc. There are plenty of good construction industry managers out there with a lot of 'hands on' experience that could do a better job than Mr Budden imho. I would guess that the trouble is that he is an accountant by training? Mr Birse has most to lose or gain.

[michaeld] 08/2/2005 14:47

Some biggish buys today; I wonder if someone knows the outcome of the Citibank dispute?

[7buttery] 02/2/2005 16:50

Oh dear as predicted.
