Yep, in todays market one needs to keep a cool head, we have value here and come results in a few weeks, all will see. When you have a share on a pe under 3, growing profits, and loaded with cash you can sleep at night. Bank shareholders can not.

I think he means life is not always logical.

Not sure what you mean, good is good here as earnings are in $ and EPS are in pounds. Plus the cash pile is worth a load more. Are you looking at todays .05p fall, that came with no trades and was in my view the MM lowering the bid in all stocks on his books.

If only life was that simple. These days, good is bad and bad is worse.

[tara7] 20/1/2009 13:05

Make that 8%

[tara7] 20/1/2009 09:14

As the pound falls EPS has gone up 5% in 36 hours.!!!!!!!!1

Pound now down to 1.42 FTS now has cash and investments, that come to the market cap of 9m pounds. Plus you get profits of 2-3m pounds.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pound now hit 1.45 to the greenback, this is doing wonders to the profits of FTS, [earnings is $ but eps in £]

[tara7] 14/1/2009 13:54

Plus shareholder funds are £15.544,000.m

[tara7] 14/1/2009 13:34

$17,350m cash and cash equivs, less debt = $12m = £8.25m. So you can buy this company that has profits of 2.5-3m pounds a year for just £750,000.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. [Todays market cap £9m]

[owenski] 14/1/2009 09:54

Am I right in that the cash and equivs are greater than the m.cap of FTS, seems that way????

[tara7] 13/1/2009 18:51

FTS, huge cash pile growing [in pounds] by the day.

[tara7] 13/1/2009 18:49

[tara7] 02/1/2009 11:26

Pound falling re the dollar, means our profits go up the same amount in pounds. In the last year the pound has fallen over 25% and with luck more to come. Also huge cash pile is worth more each day.

Rainmaker nice one!

[rainmaker] 22/12/2008 14:55

I'll put in on the list.There are numerous examples of Value shares that have had stellar performances.Not only is it the surest but also the safest way to secure a multi bagger. Off the top of my head-

Pace Microtechnology(PIC)Manufacturer of Digital Set Top boxes 10p to 1260p in the space of 1/2 years. Worries about order delays preceded the dot com boom.

Theo Fennell(TFL)Designer, Manufacturer and Retailer of Luxury Jewellery, 17p to 164p in a year.Refurbishment of Flagship store and r-invigoration of Brand, followed by international expansion

Stanley Gibbons Group(SGI)Seller and Publisher of Stamps and Celebrity Autographs 17p to 260p in a couple of years. Broadened the appeal of Stamps by launching a stamp index etc, their stake in a NASDAQ on line auction site was in the price for nothing
