Today´s big buyer has had to pay half a penny extra to get his stock - how interesting!

[tyranosaurus] 09/8/2007 18:01

I call it "About time too"

[deswalker] 09/8/2007 17:03

Nice to see some blue today. Chartists call it a Breakout I believe.

[nickcduk] 08/8/2007 08:35

All we need now is for the final 2 cities to be confirmed and it should be plain sailing. They are leaving it very very late though. Im not sure I will continue to hold if the final 2 berths are not filled.

[scburbs] 08/8/2007 08:33

Good idea tyranosaurus! I didn't think you meant tomorrow! Nearly there, but not quite, one final push.

[deswalker] 08/8/2007 08:32

On the move again.

[tyranosaurus] 07/8/2007 19:43

Let`s get past the May high first.

[scburbs] 07/8/2007 16:12

Good upwards trend starting to be established here, but still very cheap.

[mesquida] 07/8/2007 15:21

And a buyer having to pay 20p for 30,000 - this is all set for a spike upwards!

[deswalker] 07/8/2007 12:44

Some volume this morning.

[mesquida] 06/8/2007 17:46

Company said much more today than it needed to - my impression is that they now feel that they have the wind in their sails ( SORRY ABOUT THAT! ) and they want the share price to reflect that. So short term we should see some broker meetings and a raising of the corporate profile. Oddly the house broker still does not have a new note out since the figures were released, but could be that he is waiting for the final two City signings before putting pen to paper. The more I look at this the more I am left with the impression that it is totally undervalued by the market. I shall be very annoyed if a bidder swoops at anything less than 40p, although hopefully the Board´s sizeable holdings should provide some protection against that possibility.

0.25p dividend confirmed. Xdiv on 15th Aug, payment 14th Sep. Interim divi for next year (that's new news I think). AGM on 11th Sep.

Still waiting for the other two cities to be announced. Based on some rumours I heard in Hull a couple of weekends ago I'm hoping for San Francisco and Halifax but that's very much unofficial hearsay at the moment. DYOR etc ...

[mesquida] 03/8/2007 09:53

Internet position looks tight - perhaps the seller operating earlier this week has now finished his business - if so we could soon see a spike up into the 20s. And even at 30p the stock would not be expensive.

[mesquida] 02/8/2007 09:37

Anybody know whether this stock was tipped in SHARES magazine today - they have recommended it before and I note that there have been a couple of buyers operating this morning.

[iloveit] 31/7/2007 08:25

morning are we seeing more rises today?

[iloveit] 30/7/2007 09:55

Sailing along with you ,looking good !!!!!!!!!

[scburbs] 30/7/2007 08:42

Excellent results. I have added 20k at 17.5p. Looks good for 50+% from here.

Earnings in H2 alone were c. 2.5p per share or c.£835k vs c.£309k last year.

[nickcduk] 30/7/2007 08:39

Results were decent enough. The turnaround of the Velux event was pretty impressive. A bit disappointed we didn't have further news on the final places in the Clipper event. Should be onwards and upwards now in due course.

[tyranosaurus] 30/7/2007 08:28

There is no A next to the monitor price.

[mesquida] 30/7/2007 07:23

This stock is the wrong price.

[deswalker] 30/7/2007 07:20

Excellent results. Divis and share buybacks. Yum.

[deswalker] 16/7/2007 13:33

Joan,

I'd rather not but post #417 is an accurate synopsis. They sounded upbeat about current and future Clipper and Round the World race sponsorship/cashflow and keen to get the valuation up with better financial PR. They hope the divi will help in this regard. They gave no indication that there were any skeletons to worry about and I was very pleased with the news that the results would be out in a couple of weeks rather than the long delay last year.

On the strength of the email I added 10k this morning. I'll sit on my 50k and look for a rerating. Even if the market continues to ignore it then their apparent intention to pay profits out as dividends ought to lead to a decent return IMO.

HTH, IMO, DYOR

Joan,

Only eight of the ten boats have been named. We are still waiting to see who has sponsored the last two and hopefully we will know by the announcement of the Prelims on 30 July. Over the last few weeks there appears to have been a little uncertainty in the market about the situation but the email I got left me more relaxed.

They are also looking for more US crew.
