Bailed out very early this morning, there are better opportunities out there. Best of luck to anyone holding.

"with full year revenues being broadly flat year-on-year"

whereas a statement X months ago reported a marked pick up in presentations vs the prev. year and expectation that activity wpuld pick up as a result

so, assuming that you win X % of those pitches then surely year on year revenue should be higher, and not flat wrt prev. year if the MD was telling the truth ??

is the MD a blatant liar ?!
----

if the MD leaves, imo he can take David Marshall with him...Creston was the plan of the two of them.

"We also completed the co-location of our UK businesses in the period and, whilst this has increased our operating costs, "

not impressed

[smithie6] 28/11/2013 10:34

sp down 10%

not impressed

Creston results, as always, year after year, blah blah blah .....


maybe the time has finally come for Don Elgie to bite the bullet

and leave !!

sp now is LOWER than it was when he started the Creston adventure back in 2000 at 96p/share
----

Don Elgie spent 10-14M pounds of company money, shareholder money, on acquisitions about 2-3 years ago, in USA.

The results are the same as they were before the acquisitions !!

ie. imo his strategy has not worked nor the use of 10-14M pnds.

No fast bounce here - expect some droopiness

[woodcutter] 28/11/2013 08:52

Sold for a small loss. Can't say I wasn't warned about Elgie, GHF seems to have been very insightful with hindsight. How can you reduce the number of operating premises and end up spending more, for less revenue? The explanation seems all smoke and mirrors.

Can't believe I was duped, it was all in the chart.

We live and learn!

The report is full of the usual flim flam and excuses. Cre is always well positioned for what's about to happen but never does pull anything off. Don Ego will reward himself handsomely for mediocrity, buy up another ill fitting company while share holders are underwhelmed. The man needs to retire and the first thing an incoming CEO should do is assemble a board who are committed to the shareholder and not feathering Don's nest. Buy at below 80p or maybe lower.

[madengland] 28/11/2013 08:11

The only time Don Ego outperforms expectations is in granting himself options and reward. Oh and making excuses for poor results. Up the divi to try and appease people? Time to retire and write a book Don. Boo boo get off ( to a flurry of rotten vegetables from the crowd ).

Is the report that bad? It sounds that while H1 results were expected, H2 is gonna be better than expected.
Any thoughts?

[tudes100] 28/11/2013 08:09

sold this morning, jam tomorrow

[addison17] 27/11/2013 08:29

Agree with both of you, holding a profit here but sliding. I hope you are correct Sheyac, no idea here but fingers crossed.

[sheyac] 26/11/2013 19:42

Exactly the same position as you Trav, thinking if the results aren't great gonna ditch straight away. After ages of not doing anything then sliding, it has been disappointing. I do have a purely speculative suspicion that the results will be better than expected though...

[trav5] 26/11/2013 18:56

Showing a loss of about 10% on this and the gradual slide in the share price prior to the interims is not filling me with confidence despite CRE looking undervalued. As they say "should I stay or should I go"? Any ideas out there.

[addison17] 21/11/2013 08:56

Yes, lots of buys this morning and Sp reacting accordingly.

[spooky] 21/11/2013 08:18

Fishy or not, at least the share price is starting to go in the right direction :-o)

[sheyac] 20/11/2013 13:55

A repeat performance today?! Does it look fishy to anyone else?

[sheyac] 19/11/2013 17:27

What was today all about? Exceptionally high volume, flat share price almost all day - is this institutional buying/selling or did they buy back another 100k shares?

[tudes100] 19/11/2013 14:53

are we finally getting some traction into the Interims, hallelujah !!!!!

[blippy2] 14/11/2013 21:13

RNS out ... results on Thu 28 Nov. At least it's not Fri 29; that might have set alarm bells ringing.

[madengland] 14/11/2013 08:29

Well it's most definitely in a down trend. Will it hit 80p?

[markie7] 13/11/2013 20:51

they haven't done a notice of results announcement, when they had done one by the end of October last year, with interims at the end of November.

that is mildly interesting.

[madengland] 13/11/2013 19:48

It's been shorted well previously with big drops for little reason only to jump as few shares in circulation, personally I think that's more likely than dire results so will top up if I feel it gets too good. Given up as a lth of this stock as DE just feathers his own nest IMO
