its all about the 5% dividend ,can you get as good from any banks/building societies
and its a good company going forward with exceptional growth prospects
what price the share price next year

[tom111] 23/2/2012 17:29

Cant get excited over those figures, 35p the next few days IMO

[shammytime] 23/2/2012 07:57

Lovely set of numbers - 50p in the coming days with great potential for the rest of the year.

[philo124] 23/2/2012 07:26

Good luck Shammy

[shammytime] 22/2/2012 14:24

I'm excited about tomorrow. High 50's by end of week.

[janekane] 21/2/2012 13:32

For me yes, I have bought this as a long term investment but if the person selling in 6k lots is making a healthy profit then good luck to him/her
I have added this to my dividend earner portfolio and will hold for the long term

[shammytime] 21/2/2012 13:07

I understand that Jane, but this has 50-55p written all over it. Isn't holding for another day for another 5p rise worth it?

[janekane] 21/2/2012 12:57

why, a profit in the hand is better than on paper

[shammytime] 21/2/2012 12:16

50p was an obvious target today. People selling are idiots.

Mgmt seem to be filling the gaps in their roster fairly well. Centaur were def. late to the online party (EDIT: remarkable considering their NMA title), however if they maintain focus on only acquiring proven and earnings enhancing entities they should strengthen their position nicely.

The 45ish area could well provide some resistance looking at the weekly chart, it has previously provided reasonable support since Nov 2009. With the weekly 50ma and 100ma both having turned back down and the 200wma still being in decline (albeit shallower)there may well be an opportunity to buy lower. I am wary at the lack of buying volume given the recent rise, this would usually lead to the share declining if there is not following volume. I shall be watching the 45-32 level closely in the hope of buying further in this area, particularly on a failed retest of 32p. Of course we might slip straight through 50wma and resistance at 45ish and head higher.

Just a couple of thoughts, good luck all.

I ran a PR co. Profile is indeed a leader in its field. Good.

[shammytime] 21/2/2012 07:17

A fine acquisition, especially because of this comment

"The acquisition is expected to be earnings enhancing in its first full year of Centaur ownership"

50p today I'd suggest.

[shammytime] 20/2/2012 15:47

Looks like we're up and running here. I wouldn't be surprised to see 50p before results.

Breakout to 50-60 is confirmed if this closes here.
