Reason for rise explained in the release statement by the company.
Market seems to like it.
We will have to wait and see if Simon T . Approves.

Did it again today,but unable to buy unless you say I want to invest x amount for buying the shares,that worked without a hitch.

He seems to have got the buyers out.Have you tried a limit order retsius?

[retsius] 07/6/2017 13:34

Anley
Tried to buy 1000 shares but unable to do it. This just puts you off Trading this stock.
I have reasonable holding already,and wanted to increase my holding after ST in today's IC. Buy ,target 250p.

See my posts...........there is no real liquidity and perhaps that is what the controlling shareholders want so in a way this has to be treated as a long term investment as one day the "dead" will wake up and sell out at over 300p per share.

Why because the principal behind this successful business is over 70 and has had enough...........wait and see.

[retsius] 07/6/2017 08:14

This board seems completely dead. The results were first class but the share price showed not a glimmer of interest.
Simon T comments on this company and will be keen to hear his opinion.

Look good to me.

[anley] 21/5/2017 17:58

Would like to buy again but can't as there are not many shares about.

[anley] 02/5/2017 09:44

What a difficult market to deal in!!

Bought the story this morning and in to the 2 year portfolio...........

[elmfield] 28/4/2017 15:38

I.C,
Worth looking at today.

[spob] 03/3/2017 12:13

oh dear

you're not going to get 3 million shares for 50K

surely a missprint ?



Also shares held in treasury is a waste of time

if you're going to do a buyback then CANCEL the shares

otherwise a pointless exercise

Sky, spoke to an old Willis broker from the era when they ruled the roost who described Marsh as a chap who did what he wanted and he didn't much like him. Must bear that in mind about divs or buybacks.

[elmfield] 07/2/2017 20:14

Fair trading update in these times,
Happy to hold.

[skyship] 07/2/2017 07:47

Hmm - I don't think Brian Marsh understands the meaning of the word "meaningful"!
================================================================================

Dividend

The Board has recommended a dividend of 3.76 pence per share (GBP1.1m) for the financial year ending 31 January 2017.

This represents an increase of 10% over the dividend of 3.42p per share (GBP1m) paid in respect of the prior year.

It is the Board's aspiration to maintain a dividend of at least 3.76p per share for the years ending 31 January 2018 and 31 January 2019. This is subject to ongoing review and approval by the Board and the Shareholders.

When considering a dividend, the Board will continue to strike a balance between rewarding shareholders by generating value through investing available funds in opportunities that will deliver long-term capital growth and providing a meaningful dividend.

[elmfield] 04/1/2017 15:46

Well,
You just don't like this,
I am more than happy, depends on your time scale etc.

[skyship] 04/1/2017 07:59

The long anticipated disposal of Besso provides BPM with £18m of firepower; but adds less than 2p to the Jul'16 NAV:



Not very surprised that no mention of a Special Dividend!

[bscuit] 19/10/2016 00:00

Sky, certainly the treatment of small holders by dominant holders compares badly with ASY. I did buy here @138.82 on 14.01.15 and have had a unrealised gain with a poor dividend which contrasts well with ASY where the yield - currently 6.55%-- is the only bonus, So I guess I'm happy with BPM. Both have the outside possibility of death break-ups in my view.

[elmfield] 18/10/2016 16:10

Well,
You are good at what you do!
Pointed me in the right direction a couple of times.

[skyship] 18/10/2016 16:05

elmfield - agreed, nice and slow wins the game. Regardless of my concerns I obviously sold too early; but moved on within the PE sector, so all good...

[spob] 18/10/2016 12:48

yes i think i'm up more than that, inc divs

[peter27] 18/10/2016 12:30

In the last 3 1/2 years since i first bought them the price has risen 60%. I don't want income; I want growth but if I did want income I could easily sell some.

[elmfield] 18/10/2016 12:10

Dividend up 10%
Discount to NAV been steadily narrowing.
I am happy to settle for that, nice and steady as we go.
Sky, a little harsh but you probably have little nuggets elsewhere to deal in
and out of, good luck.
I settle for nice and slow, works in the long term pretty well.

[blueeyes13] 18/10/2016 10:45

Skyship I have held this share for over 6 months and have looked at historical data. Having seen the rns today I have to agree with you completely and sold all my holding at 207p just after open. Good company but agree they should give more to shareholders or do more to close the gap with NAV. I may return if the price drifts from here. If not I'm happy with 20%+ return since I bought.Good luck all.
