Woodsman, thanks for the interesting post above. I remember SCI and their share price soared i believe!

[woodsman2004] 18/1/2005 17:18

Bingo, might have missed the PFD boat a bit given rencent rises however, I like their strategy of buying "old favorites" e.g. Birds custard that are not considerd exciting anymore. Come a recession/downturn, people may not dine out at Conran restaurants, but everone will still bring out the Branston even if they can only afford a lump of cheese for their dinner!

Premier foods heh, might have a look at that.

Yep, I like this share. Not too sue whether it's worth the current price, but I suppose people are buying for the 'safety' of the business. This is one I will hold you sometime to come....one to tuck away. Hopefully we'll have a progressive divi increase too. I will be topping up on any dips.

At last it has moved today. One trade of 6000 shares was all it took.

Is this the perfect stock? In at 235. Every time it breaks out I move my trailing stop up then it breaks out again. If only all trading were this simple.

The dividend is I think only around 1.8% based on prospectus.
The fund managers love it because it is unique and the sector.
Only question mark is whether profits justify pricing...logic of prperty and BP and superb investments but everything has a price

Does anyone know the ex. dividend date and yield? thanks. OT.

Topped up today.

[m.t.glass] 11/1/2005 14:23

If it closes at a new high today, I reckon I might up my stake. Each previous breakout has been well worth having.

Just keeps ticking away nicely.....

The important thing to remember with this stock is that 2004 has been a TERRIBLE! year - the death rate is down a huge 3.5%. Since sales only get deferred, never canceled, 2005 is unfortunately, inevitably, going to be a very strong year. All credit to excellent management for getting a meteoric rise in the share despite an incredibly difficult year for them.

An absolutely top notch stock which will just keep on going up. And if the stock market blows up, every fund manager forced to invest the whole portfolio will be dying (sorry) to get his hands on Dignity.

[gswredland] 29/12/2004 20:41

have a feeling something is going on....

[blowson2000] 29/12/2004 19:54

Price hasnt moved much though.

[m.t.glass] 29/12/2004 15:25

There's been quite a rush of buys in the past hour. Dunno why.. (tipped as a favourite for 2005 someplace perhaps?

[melody9999] 16/12/2004 23:49

seems to me that (more)institutions starting to buy in would be the reason for the recent moves north?

[m.t.glass] 16/12/2004 20:38

(i haven't checked how that compares with the previous mix of large holdings)

Woodsman, you'll be sitting on a tidy profit then. I really like this company. Anyone had a look at ZOO? I've held this share for a while now and it looks like it's going to start moving at last. Get in before it's to late!

[wonderboy] 16/12/2004 10:58

I think a shareholder might qualify for a discount when he's under 6 foot!

[woodsman2004] 16/12/2004 10:39

Pleased to be in since floatation - I am a bear about the economy so this fitted the bill as a perfect counter-recessionary stock (see also Premier Foods).

No idea what all these announcements about holdings are. Can anyone explain this and why it has boosted the share price?

BTW my grandad asked me last week whether shareholders get a discount!!!

[bingobingy] 15/12/2004 12:21

Not a clue, but death is the business to be in. The good news being that everyone has to die whether or not there is a recession. I might up my stake, but not at the current price.

[gswredland] 15/12/2004 10:11

looking very good i would agree.anyone know what is happening?

[m.t.glass] 15/12/2004 08:35

On a bit of a roll. Stepped up my stake.
