Looking like an imminent breakout...

I see F&C Asset Management notified Diploma of an 8.39% holding:


This appears to be new - I don't see any previous notification from them in the last ~2 yrs (May check back further if I get the time).

I'm not a chartists, meaning I don't buy on chart info, but I like the look of the last three bottoms!

good statement today - another £11m in the bank from land sale; let me repewat that - £11m! this goes with..."Free cash flow of #11.9m; prior year free cash flow of #9.6m benefited from sale of Phase 2 of the Stamford land. Cash funds at 30 September 2005 were #25.7m."

So this compnay will have £36m + by end of February to play with. The statemen repeats the final reulsts advice about trading so no worries there. They always say Europe is tough!

I would expect the profit taking to have finshed and this to plough on and up over the next two months

About to break out it seems.

awesome and for once I got the timing right

Excellent rise following tip from Inv Chronicle. Hopefully big boys will recognise potential now.

[silverfern] 13/12/2005 20:31

Can;t keep out so back in - the faffing about between 650 and 750p will end in a rise above these levels imho and so I wil now keep the faith for a year and add if it rises, and curse if it falls. BUt at least I won';t be shelling out £12.50 to Squaregain

today's shares mag :-

"Following the publication
of its annual report, three
directors of Diploma (DPLM)
bought shares. The trio
included the chairman, the chief
executive and the chief
operating officer. Diploma is
a specialist distribution
company operating in niche
markets such as life sciences,
seals and controls.
Earnings growth has been
spectacular – from 32.2p per
share in 2002-03 to 52.4p last
year. Prospects are encouraging
and the rating undemanding – a
prospective PE of 12.5. Last year
the group's earnings were more
than 10% above the house
broker's initial estimate."

Looks like this might be heading back to 660 -665p..........really needs a mid price close above 696 today...imo, but dont see it happening

silverfern - only just seen your comment - I wasn't making a prediction, just making an ironic remark. So often good results are accompanied by share price falls, and vice versa.

I see it had a great spike but is now back to where it was. A nimble trader could have made a quick profit there...

[silverfern] 22/11/2005 19:14

NOw Sam, what were you sayng about the SP?

[silverfern] 14/11/2005 20:45

well when I bought this last lot on Squaregain the buy/sell was much tighter when it came down to the transaction (rather than the spread)

[silverfern] 14/11/2005 08:05

great set of results - increased dividend and strong trading in the US.

[silverfern] 10/11/2005 20:03

well, this is going ok again!

[silverfern] 26/10/2005 10:51

THanks for the comfort - I tell you, the market at the moment is beyond me! If I was sensible I'd look at my portfolio at the end of November. What really freks me out is your suggestion that kids are on-line buying and selling stocks for their half-term project: )

28.09.2005
"Diploma PLC said it anticipates results for the full year
ending Sept 30 which will both demonstrate further progress in 2005 and be
slightly ahead of market expectations."
What's new?
The volume was quite low which suggests a blip rather than anything more significant. It is half term.

[silverfern] 25/10/2005 17:07

ANd what a news leak the current fall suggests - thanks to the management for leaking what wil no doubt be bad news tomorrow
