DLG given as a speculative buy on Growth Company Investor.

um.. either cheap to attract investors to buy, or cheap to lose the holders' interest and sell. haha.. not a good answer.

[james t kirk] 11/11/2007 19:44

Again begs the question - why so cheap. There's no such thing as a free lunch..

Read this bit:

Delling is only taking the staff and customers of Hennix,
who will be integrated into Delling Expo, and not the fixed cost base. Therefore
the contribution to the pre-tax profits of Delling is expected to exceed
#100,000 per annum.

Not sure why it was sold so cheap, but they have claimed that the impact will be over 100k of profit to what is looking like a fully profitable company.

Really starting to like the look of this company and am farm more comfortable with my shares than I was a few months back.

[james t kirk] 09/11/2007 08:17

Is still begs the question if the company makes £100k, why sell for £160k? There must be some large debt that accompanies deal..

This is what they said in the interims

"The Board and management have decided that our
acquisition programme will temporarily cease, apart from small infill
acquisitions that will have a short term identifiable impact on margins"

So the aquisition probably fits the criteria - provided no nasty surprises

[james t kirk] 09/11/2007 08:00

I thought that too - but why have Hennix sold themselves so cheap - what's lurking in the accounts we haven't been told?

[keifer derrin] 09/11/2007 07:19

I thought they weren't going to buy anymore companies until they had sorted out the intergration of the other purchases.

Mind you all extra monies for profit it fine by me...

[stacks] 06/11/2007 11:41

Amazing how much the price has moved since the update on next to no volume. Seems to be good support at this level so can only see it rising from here. 7p to buy and company turning a profit.... seems to be a good entry level.

I have added since the pull back but was unfortunate yesterday to not get in below the 6.5.. someone got a bargain there before I could snap it up!

[argy2] 05/11/2007 17:57

Maybe a Whingerfrith ramp on the way?

[76tom] 05/11/2007 17:24

interesting, I guess it is turning upward now.

[alfieduncan] 26/10/2007 10:50

Interesting movement on the bid side.Smallish buys and MMs readily willing to pay more.Not many sellers at these levels so,MMs, still short of stock I presume.Should go up rather than down.General market willing of course.

[james t kirk] 25/10/2007 07:15

A small buy yesterday and share drifted, but the long term future looks excellent. We'll probably get a Friday 1pm boost from the favoured website, but I think this is a good share to tuck away now - hopefully..

[ph1ts] 24/10/2007 21:33

Good, 'cos that's what I paid for them!!

[loganair] 24/10/2007 08:58

Today the share price is drifting back. I already hold a few and intend to add more as in the next few years as profitabilty comes through and they start to pay a dividend I can essily see a 200% plus increase in the share price from here.

[stacks] 23/10/2007 11:02

At last. It was just a matter of time! Just kicking myself for having not picked up more yesterday at what were super cheap prices.

[tsmith2] 23/10/2007 11:01

offer jumped 1p!! - mms caught very short indeed

[alfieduncan] 23/10/2007 10:54

I think we can say,with a fair amount of confidence,that the MMs are abit short of stock.I`m thinking of getting some more!

[alfieduncan] 23/10/2007 10:45

tsmith2 hi, who are you quoting in your post 1021?

[argy2] 23/10/2007 10:05

One day you are going to call this one right!

[tsmith2] 23/10/2007 10:00
