dmhzx,

AUK up another 12% so will probably sell early tomorrow for a nice 46% profit in a week.

I'm more of a day/week trader than an investor. I have a bank of £50k and have been makin an average of £350 per week for around nine months based on a system devised by a fellow sharecrazy - OBARMOTH - and myself, which took us six months to develop. He makes £600 per week cos he never gambles and knows when to sell which is my main weakness. We gave 15 winning recommendations out of 17 to Sharecrazy.com (easily verified) but we don't post there now as all they are interested in are "games" shares.

SOF was a tad down but I believe it will recover tomorrow.

Be lucky

Jim

BFG is interestin, thanks, but the spread is horrific. I normally buy shares in £3k lots so if I bought BF I would immediately be £567 down!!

You just have to sign on at www.Citybull.com It is a discussion site for the maturer and wiser investor. Not exceptionally busy but the quality is higher than most places.

The bottom line is that Belgate was managed by Kingsley C Lamont. I copy his resume below. You will see that he used to be the non exec Chairman of OAMPS. OAMPS is an aussie based insurance related company. They also have activities in the UK and are widely used by the oil sector.

A further search on Mr Lamont revealed that he got into a little difficluty with the Australian Securities and Investment Board after he bought some OAMPS shares in a dutch auction from a fellow director at a premium. It appears that the Aussie authorities held this to be insider dealing and although they accepted that he bought to rid himself of an unwelcome colleague, nevertherless he is currently not allowed to be a director in Australia. (I am attempting to find out more about Mr Lamont and Belgate from a bunch of Aussie investors.)

Anyway it does appear that this man is highly regarded. I would be guessing that this could be the start of an industry bid. And I stress that I am only guessing. Of course Mr Lamont cannot be a director of Belgate now and exactly who is behind that company I am not entirely sure.

I hope that is helpful.

""Kingsley C Lamont
(Non-Executive Chairman)

Kingsley Lamont joined the board of OAMPS Ltd on 27 November 1998. He is a qualified accountant and has in excess of thirty years administration experience in finance management and cost control in both private and public companies.

He is managing director of Belgate Pty Ltd. During the period since his appointment, matters have arisen of strategic importance where Mr Lamont has acted in an executive capacity. Given the management structure is now in place, Mr Lamont will not act in an executive capacity in the future, unless at the request of the board. ""

p/t is possible but I don't think so.
The Buys are not your average retail investor taking a punt. Would you punt 1m shares in this stock ?
No nor would I. Yet today 2 x 1m BUYS & then look at the BIG trades yesterday.

Is that results day?

I think it's a dangerous game if anyone is buying in hoping for a quick profit after results, but provided the news isn't too bad I would hope to see a little more support and for the price to begin to increase (very) slowly. It looks as though the company are doing their best to get rid of the dead wood, and you would expect most if not all of the bad news to be out fo the way by now.

Ulitmiately I think this might be a share that moves purely on the market sentiment in the short term. It's own prospects still look fairly dismal, but if any level of confidence returns maybe we'll see investors looking to benefit from the current low in PE for this company.

I'm only a small holder in BDK (8,000 shares @ 11p), but it would be nice to see them back in the black (or blue in ADVFN's case!)

2.3m ongoing is from the Chairman's Statement in the preliminary figures. The company has net cash, Read the annual statement and figures rather than talk taddle.

Interesting that you rely so heavily upon broker forecasts, they are very often wrong, In fact there is very little correlation statistically between one years rate of growth in profits (for any quoted company) and another. Most forecasts are wrong, (someone mentioned Dataflex above - how could that happen ? (LOL) )- fact is forecasting is one area of market pricing inefficiency that private investors can profit from. They are no more or less likely to be right or wrong in their guesses (thats what forecasting is) than 200l pa analysts - or are they........let's see what happens to Bradstock this week !

The question is whether the price over-discounts the risks. Neither the business prospects nor the share price can be considered in isolation. The over estimation of business prospects in relation to the share price is the same mistake at the other end of the spectrum - many tech stocks became over-priced because investors were unable to see that even super-normal profits have to be priced rationally, and related to share price. This business has profits before tax on existing businesses of 2.3m against a market cap of 7m. It has net cash and net shareholders funds. A tech stock with these ratios could be valued (over-valued) at say 100m. The point is, what is a fair price for the risk to reward ratios we know about from the published data. Nobody is pretending that this co is ICI. In my opinion the price has fallen too far, on a combimation of despair and instititutional selling at any price ib order to get out of a company with a tiny market cap. Istitiutions have poor records generally - look at the performance tables. I have a much better record.

the sells were from an institutional holder ( institutions = bodies who habitually post performance which deviates only slightly from the indices and are usually heavily invested in the likes of Vodaphone - why? becasue it's there!)

now this is a potential x bagger imho dyor phone a friend etc etc - take your pick an easy t-trade or a oak tree about to grow from an acorn - depends if you are a trader or investor I guess

arket cap of 7m, profits of 2.3m and to quote the Chairman on the 12th December " Bradstock today is in a far better financial position than it has been for many years"
