I have added a lot today - results soon and mood still positive in the US. THIs can get to 450p over the next month and stil be good value on good results

[quantumx] 24/2/2012 13:37

Good to see Diploma building a base around 400p. Certainly still buyers around.

[silverfern] 13/2/2012 10:05

well you'll be rolling your short over methinks. Market may be overbought but ther must be better stocks than this to short. Diploma is not over priced for it's current performance inho.

Cheers.

falling back.

Market in general is coming to a
top I believe and all high beta stocks
which are overbought will be hit first.

Theirs no denying on the lower indicators
the stock is looking like it will fall back.

Just a matter of being patient hopefully.

Certainly a technical short.

[quantumx] 09/2/2012 10:08

Good luck with the bet.

[mechanical trader] 09/2/2012 09:56

Gone short looks technically
overbought and oscilators are
pointing to this.

360p share price Target Initially

[quantumx] 03/2/2012 13:03

Hmmm. It probably did get a little bit ahead of itself over just one day. Just so long as it doen't now plummet to earth!

DPLM seems to fly under most people's radar. It's not so cheap that the value investors want in, and growth isn't so big that it attracts the growth investors. It's not a glamour company. It's not large enough to attract big-cap investors, or small enough to attract investors who like tiddlers.

The only time I have topped up my original purchase was in 2008, during the credit crunch at the giveaway price of 147.

[jeffian] 01/2/2012 23:56

Yes, I bought my first holding in 2006 too and didn't have the gumption to buy more until January 2011. It's something about the psychology of investing that you're so busy looking for the 'next big thing' you often ignore what's under your nose!

[gco1133a] 01/2/2012 22:53

I too, have held for just over 10 years.
Now if the they repeat the same performance over the next ten years....

[cockerhoop] 01/2/2012 22:35

Hi Jeffian,

I have held DPLM pretty much since Nov 06, so not new to the share but obviously haven't contributed to this board. I see a quiet board as a good sign!!

[jeffian] 01/2/2012 19:33

Blimey! Never seen so many new faces. I thought it was just me and silverfern following this one!

Investor day presentation:

[quantumx] 01/2/2012 17:27

I've held for a long time. Bought in at 45p 10 years ago.

[blippy2] 01/2/2012 17:17

@quantumx Me too. It sure is a comfortable share to hold. No need for quick flipping.

[quantumx] 01/2/2012 17:06

Shame the rest of my investments aren't as lively as DPLM. Happy to hold.

[blippy2] 01/2/2012 16:53

Must have been a damn good investors day to send the price up 8%.

[quantumx] 01/2/2012 13:37

Well they got to my target price quicker than I thought they would. Would be good to see a base above 400p. Good luck all.

[silverfern] 01/2/2012 09:45

and agaiN so I bought some more. run your winners

[philanderer] 26/1/2012 11:43

Touched 400p there for a second :-)

[quantumx] 24/1/2012 13:32

Time to build a firm platform now for further growth.
