Bizarre, the only thing I did was speculate on who the tip was by, maybe ADVFN just don't like that company?

[silverfern] 15/7/2005 16:24

A number of posts have been removed by ADVFN- as they apply to JamesTK can you tell us why? Was it linked to some tipsheet?

There's clearly a sell being soaked up here as you can still buy near mid, although they were taking full offer earlier. When the overhang is gone this should move towards 30p sharply. The worry is always the T10 brigade moving out again next week.

Certainly sparked some interest. Hopefully help to take us up to a new level. Before Christmas there were weeks without a single trade, let alone 69 in a day!!

Yep. Funny how DLG's RNS's don't come up on the an ADVFN competitor portfolio screens. For those who missed it, here it is - I like the sound of "several contract wins":


"Delling Group ('Delling Group' or 'the Company'), the marketing support services
group, held its maiden AGM in London today at 9:00am.

At the meeting all resolutions were passed.

David Krucik, Delling Group Chairman, made the following statement to
shareholders:

'2004 was an exciting year for Delling Group with the successful floatation of
the company on AIM, attaining many of the goals set, and culminating in maiden
Preliminary Results ahead of market expectations.

'In 2005, the Group has seen significant growth both organically and through
acquisition. We have announced three acquisitions in Norway and have had several contract wins in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, with respected companies. These contract gains and acquisitions have provided an excellent platform for Delling Group and have supported our growth strategy.

'In May we strengthened our board and UK presence by appointing Michael Hudgell
as a Director of the Company. Michael will help drive the Company's expansion in the UK. Futhermore, James Robinson was appointed Finance Director as well as
Director of the Company.

'The Company is set for continued growth and your Board is confident about
future prospects. The Interim Results are due to be announced at the end of
September.'"

Scotty: thanks for implying I'm not bright merely because I don't subscribe to a tipsheet! But are you under contract NOT to reveal the source? Otherwise if you've shelled out money for this info and don't want others to know about it, don't post.

Tipped where scotty1 - got any juicy bits for us? :o))

[caecilius] 14/7/2005 17:03

It was in the shed. A fine home brew all of which I supped. The missus said it tasted like asti spumante but what would she know.

Wasn't Cerberus the hungry hound? No matter, I've forgotten most if it myself.

[scotty1] 14/7/2005 16:56

Been tipped ;-)

[silverfern] 14/7/2005 16:43

The beer's in the shed Caecilius - and 'Cerebus est in villa' if I remember my latin

[zinco] 14/7/2005 16:43

Better day,it's been a while.....;-))

[caecilius] 14/7/2005 16:34

Looks like a shed load of people know something I don't.

[rivaldo] 14/7/2005 16:03

Looks like that 500k trade at 18p has finally cleared out the seller? Let's hope so - upwards and onwards.

[the bull] 13/7/2005 01:09

Ce were probably acting for whitton etc LOL. Ok lets see how we do

[james t kirk] 12/7/2005 20:02

Let's not get too involved with slagging off CE, this is a Delling thread after all.

The recent share price weakness is due to Plastiks selling and subsequently Whitton holdings offloading 1.5m shares.

Although most here can't understand the timing, the broker forecasts for this year indicate the share will be significantly higher by year end.

[deanforester] 12/7/2005 17:36

They obviously don't hawk the same shares to everybody.

I've not got a complete list, but I can recall Delling, Sectorguard, NMI, Red2, ScreenFX, Mavinwood, Maverick, Clerkenwell, Blackrock O&G, and ASR.

Of that lot, only Maverick is in the blue. Sectorguard and Delling are the most promising of the rest. ASR looks likely to go down the plughole.

[blueforce] 12/7/2005 12:13

Bull et al

Seems we all share the same experience with CE. Like you I can pick dogs myself. It's easy. But I thought I'd give them a chance with a few small share buys to see what they are like. Don't know why I did it really becasue I was doing OK without them by concentrating on the Oil & Gas sector. It seems CE may use a scatter gun approach that's based more on the laws of chance than on expert analysis and good stock picking. Sooner or later they have to have a winner if they can recommend enough shares. I wonder if they market the same shares to all of us. Over the past few months they've recommended, as far as I can remember, the following to me: Qonnectis (woof, woof,) Scotty Group (wwof,woof,woof,woof,.....woof), Delling, Centrom (woof), Eicom (woo), Thor mining, ZI medical, A Finnish diamond mining company. Of these Thor mining is only one not losing money YET. Fortunanley I have not bought all of them but those i have bought I've parked up in the kennel becasue i could not stand the noise of the barking anymmore and am hoping there is something in the old saying that every dog has its day. But I do think Delling has promise. At least I hope so.

Have you also noticed how the price usually drops once you buy the share. Add this to the spread and you can be sitting on a 50% loss.
