God Knows.

why the drop?

"We remain buyers, with Dignity largely insulated from both the recession and the credit crunch, although we lower our price target to 822 pence to take into account lower market multiples," Investec Securities, joint broker to Dignity, said in a research note.

pretty muted reaction to results I must say.

sometimes there can be a delayed reaction

perphaps tomorrow

digital look has year end eps of 37.38p pencilled

it would seem as if we are going to smash those with 23.5p already pencilled at the half way point.

this stock has gone sideways since april 07. given steady grwoth and potential for more and the stable cashflows. this stock may yet see a re-rating.

£9 would seem a valid medium term target given that a premium is likely to be paid for businesses as stable as this one with relatively predictable earnings

[weemonkey] 29/7/2008 08:48

results would seem tremendous

[weemonkey] 22/7/2008 16:07

hold and close above 780 and we might have a new bull trend here

[zipper] 22/7/2008 13:10

MIATA - 'couch potatoes' - spring to mind nothing surpises me any more!

[weemonkey] 22/7/2008 13:06

nothing to worry about

in fact I smell breakout here after a long time of being range bound

safe haven status

[flips] 22/7/2008 08:29

Why the big drop?

[weemonkey] 07/4/2008 23:15

don't worry about the big director selling. they are just taking advantage of the last day of the old capital gains tax regime. prudent thing to do for long term holders. which the directors of course will be

could be April Fools... but isn't

A new pay-per-view funeral service scheme is being launched today. The scheme at Southampton Crematorium allows mourners to grieve from home by watching proceedings online.

my only surprise is that there are not more institutions buying in

[tipsytoad] 20/3/2008 14:10

the only guarantee in this world is that we all have to leave it
that alone makes this share a winner -
it only has 63.18 million shares in issue and is cash generative
one of the safest stocks in this climate imo

[godwin2] 20/3/2008 12:05

Agreed. Markets like certainty and what can be more certain than death and dying!

Blackrock's website:

[weemonkey] 20/3/2008 11:59

the thing that is driving this in my opinion is that there is so little certainty in these markets at the moment. That throws tremendous focus on those stocks that have some. this is a ftse 250 safe haven stock (like no other safe haven) and as such is being vigourously bought

[godwin2] 20/3/2008 11:45

Anyone know who Blackrock is? Their interest might be contributing to the surge today in the share price

[weemonkey] 18/3/2008 13:11

not looking too dull now I must say looking at a push for £8 and beyond.

you just cannot have relentlessly good results and have the share go nowhere for months.

and in this climate... certainty is thin on the ground

[tipsytoad] 17/3/2008 08:31

this company deals in the one place nobody wants to go to
and its the only stock i'm in long term -
how morbid is that !

[tipsytoad] 14/3/2008 11:58

imo an area they may like to work on - if they are not already

co-op are always advertising easy payment plan in my area, would be nice to see dty doing the same

[serratia] 14/3/2008 11:50

How does the discount for early purchase correlate with age at time of
order? Given increasing longevity which probably won't be factored in-
is there an arbitrage opportunity? If you buy a pool of contracts
including one for yourself can you resell for money up front and drink
yourself to an early grave?

[miata] 14/3/2008 10:42

The majority might wish they had made their arrangements beforehand but they don't. Pre-arranged plans account for only 5% of Dignity's revenues.

[tipsytoad] 14/3/2008 10:15

as you pointed out MAITA
pre arranged funerals up by 4.5%

if they were to work on this, surely the majority of people would rather make their arrangements beforehand, themselves, to save their loved ones
the painful burden of having to do it

I believe they have an 'instalment' scheme for those that prefer

People still die in a recession, however their relatives may spend less on them.

pearls of wisdon - nothing like stating the obvious....
