I think we need some good news to push us on, sellers still around......

Hi c3jns - I wouldn't worry too much - just hang onto them, and as the markets turn I'm sure your patience will be rewarded. Just look at the speed of the bounce the other day - intraday, the price was at 590p and just a few days later (about a week as I recall) we weren't far off 750p. Keep the faith !

Got back in this morning thinking we could hold 700 but once again unable to do so........

Quiet thread !

Bounced nicely off 620p last month. On a prospective PE of circa 8 for the year just ended (2007) and it will be interesting to see their forward view on prospects for 2008 when they report FY figures next month.

Interesting chart!

Wrong time to sell.

Could see 800p quite soon.

Hardly inspires confidence does it? Amounts to less than 50k of cash to purchase these.

Chairman Lars Emilson purchased 1,500 shares for 7.59 stg a share, raising
his stake to 3,000 shares or 0.001 pct.
Marion Foster, a person connected to chief executive Michael Foster, bought
2,632 shares at 7.53 stg a share, raising her stake to 23,266 shares or 0.01 pct
of the company.
Non-exec director John Biles bought 3,000 shares at 7.56 stg a share,
raising his stake in the company to 3,000 shares or 0.001 pct.

Would be nice to get a statement from the company saying all is well. The Directors
seem to think so looking at the above......

UK engineering group Charter PLC said it is
confident it will deliver a strong performance for the year ending Dec 31, 2007
and expects to make further progress in 2008.
The company said its markets remain robust and added that the positive
trends in both of its businesses -- ESAB and Howden -- that were experienced
during the first part of the year, were set to continue.
''Charter said following significant increases in revenue and operating profit
reported at the interim period, ESAB -- its welding, cutting and automation
division -- had continued to trade strongly in the second half of the year. The
group said the division had seen especially strong growth in Western Europe and
South America.
Trading in the group's air and gas handling business -- Howden -- continues
to be robust with the unit's second half sales growth expected to top the
division's first half performance. As a consequence of the growth in sales to
customers in North America and Europe, Howden's sales will be better balanced
geographically between North America, Europe, China and the rest of the world
than in 2006, Charter said.
The company said it expects to recommend a final dividend for 2007 and is
expecting to pay an interim and a final dividend each year thereafter.''


The share price is almost down another 5% today and its going down every day. I just cannot for the life of me understand why this should be happening. This is an excellent company that is trading well and about to recommence paying a divi. Pe now around 8 and falling, this is madness surely? Any thoughts anyone?

Shorters heaven halved in just 3 months 600 on the cards........

[c3jns] 07/1/2008 09:38

On the money at the moment. Hope we can hold, double bottom formed lets get us back up to true value........

[pachandl] 05/1/2008 16:55

On loan shares have been increasing over the past month, which suggests some shorting. Hope they get burned when the next trading update comes (nothing personal you understand)!

[c3jns] 04/1/2008 15:51

Hope we hold 728 double bottom........

Thanks for that Steeplejack, I'm here for the recovery which I am sure will come, its just a matter of time.

I know it's always popular small talk to roll out the possibility of a bid when a stock has fallen this far but unashamedly,i think this stock could attract a predator.So could Keller for that matter.There's still money around for stocks like these.Short term tho',you risk catching a falling knife.I'm buying both on weakness having not held either for a good few months.

PS It's worth looking at Lincoln Electric,CHTR's American cousin.The disparity in ratings and recent performance is noteworthy and supports theories that Charter is oversold.LECO on Nasdaq
