These are holding up well considering the big sells. Hope there are no surprise falls here. Bought in yesterday on graph and results.

[paleje] 01/2/2011 09:16

Yes but it hasn't sent the share price south so mm's not stressed, I don't have level 2 but I imagine there must be some decent buy orders waiting?

[lennonsalive] 01/2/2011 08:46

A million sells.....yikes!

[penpont] 01/2/2011 08:45

[bobby.ifa] 31/1/2011 14:03

[cockneyrebel] 31/1/2011 12:33

Thought the price would have dropped more this morning on profit taking - nice to see it moving back up - very encouraging!

[alphatrends] 31/1/2011 10:26

May not be the worst thing to back test support/resistance at £1 before moving higher

Investec - 31/1/11:

Our UK Electronics and Electrical Equipment peer group currently trades on an average CY11E PER of 15.8x. Our International peer group (unchanged from our note of 22 June 'Time to Buy', except for the deletion of CPI International and DALSA given their acquisitions by a trade and financial buyer respectively) trades at a modest premium to this, 16.8x.

We set our new price target at 170p (from 140p), an average of the two peer group's (16.3x) CY11E PER. We expect the stock to re-rate towards our peer group averages over the next twelve months on the back of further upgrades (with the organic growth rate accelerating) and an improving appreciation of the group's qualities.

Yeah righton Investec, heading rapidly south.

[wjccghcc] 31/1/2011 08:17

They don't say significantly ahead - just "ahead" of expectations. Implies approx 10% above forecasts. Still nice though.

[attrader] 31/1/2011 08:15

I wish there are some profit takes, would top up if it dips

[jackal3000] 31/1/2011 07:22

Maybe some profit takers last week hedging bets and maybe again today. Should move up nicely considering e2v are 'significantly ahead of expectations'!

[attrader] 31/1/2011 07:15

great IMS, hopefully strong price action today

Outlook for the financial year ending 31 March 2011

Group trading since the half year end has been significantly ahead of the comparable period in 2009/10 and ahead of our expectations. The Group's trading performance for the full year is thus anticipated to be ahead of previous expectations.

Trading in the nine months ended 31 December 2010

Group trading for the year to date has been significantly ahead of the comparable period in 2009/10, reflecting increased activity and the accelerated cost reduction programme.

Net borrowings at 31 December 2010 were approximately GBP33m (30 September 2010: GBP39m) reflecting the strong trading performance and lower than anticipated working capital. It is now expected that the level of net borrowings at 31 March 2011 will be lower than previously indicated. Restructuring, interest and tax payments are in line with our expectations.

'He writes and charts as if a share price has a life and soul of its own when all it really is is a picture of past results'

Peter,

I think the key to understanding 'the art of chartism' is to understand that the share price chart is created by demand that is derived from a market full of human's who have got lives and souls.

In effect the life in the chart reflects the life in the market. Understanding past events and current trends increases one's chance of predicting future possibilities. It is not an exact science, but it is a useful tool.

A good example is the way E2V broke through £1. The line in the chart is unthinking (no life and soul) but the market players respond to the movement through the price to create a self fulfilling prophecy. It happens so often that it is difficult to ignore.

Don't get me wrong, it is only one small part of a complicated and dynamic market place, but we all look at charts and the human response to them helps chartists to make their predictions.

I for one love Fingers Charts, keep posting Simon!

bought at 47p

Yipee-kay-yay!

No reason why they can't head towards £2, especially as they are recruiting like it's gone out of fashion....always a good sign

[petersinthemarket] 28/1/2011 10:48

''on occasion they can be quite accurate''

so could anybody's best guess.

is ''on occasions'' sound enough to bet good money on?

no disrespect meant, just seriously dubious.

Thanks Simon, for a second there I thought you were making fun of me about the £1 chart! Had a quick look at Findus XXX's thread and looks like it could be an interesting read.

PeterPiper what the hell are you talking about man?! ;)

[fingers xxd] 27/1/2011 20:35

Hi PIM

".. Witchcraft" .. another poster on my thread described it as
the 'black art' .. I'm just glad that 'burning at the stake' is
also a 'picture in the 'past' :-)

".. I am always sceptical about forecasts, especially those that
deal with the future.''

'Forecasts' are not always succesful, but on occasions they can be quite
accurate .. Having just updated an analysis on BHR, I came across one
of my previous reviews, that accurately predicted 3 x 'key dates'.

'Spooky ain't it' ..... :-)
