Yes happy, especially as I bought at 516p, but the results don't look that surprising to me - have I missed something? Group revenue is only up due to exchange rates, and operating profit is up only because of last year's reorganisation charge. Both of those things have been well known for some time. I am taking profits, but good luck to all holders.

Will we hold 750 today :)

no other happy punters?

Will we hold 700 today?......

Almost back at my buying price! Up almost 20% in 2 months and seems to have gone through previous resistance.

I just wish I'd bought at 500 not 700!

Something brewing though. Could be a Sterling takeover target like Brammer (only there I lost 30% when they were finally put out of their misery - thank goodness for portfolio theory!)

This is turning into an exciting ride. I can't see any special reason. Only recent news I found was that it has got highest level accreditation for Hot Isostatic Processing for aerospace industry, but as it won this before I don't imagine this is driving the price. Anyway I'm holding.

So it seems - but let's wait a while.

[toffeeman] 26/1/2017 11:03

back above 640 - can it hold this time?

[toffeeman] 30/12/2016 15:51

But a close above was!

[toffeeman] 30/12/2016 10:01

That was short lived! A close below 640 is not positive.

[bigbertie] 29/12/2016 10:39

Yes, what was it? It seems to have stopped today, but nice while it lasted.

[toffeeman] 28/12/2016 09:23

Someat up here methinks

[toffeeman] 23/12/2016 09:15

Will it close above 640 for christmas.....?

[toffeeman] 07/10/2016 17:43

New horizon or false dawn?

[toffeeman] 28/7/2016 08:41

Could be worse! XR gives a higher chance of this getting taken out.

[meijiman] 28/7/2016 08:34

Hmm-not great.

[meijiman] 12/7/2016 11:39

I can't be alone in thinking this has been rather left behind in the recent market rally.Quality company.

[toffeeman] 13/4/2016 16:17

Needs to break and hold 620

[toffeeman] 17/11/2015 10:22

Bit of positive action so far today

[meijiman] 23/10/2015 15:52

There is alot of shorting going on. Sadly think the shorters have been doing quite well out of the strategy...........
Another one I hold -Lavendon has tanked on no new news -wonder if that's on someone's short list.

[toffeeman] 23/10/2015 15:32

At least one hedgie is shorting it

[meijiman] 23/10/2015 14:40

I think this is a top quality company -so I'm a bit puzzled by the fall. Maybe the next update will provide some reassurance.
