eggbacon etc.

FSJ just keep making positive announcements; the story is what matters . There could be umpteen reasons why a big holder is selling down , but my view is that it is highly unlikely to be related to business prospects .I can`t be 100% certain.
Anyone worrying about the recent slide could speak to Stuart Kilpatrick FD . I have done so on a couple of occasions . He is helpful. He may know of a seller.

No doubt you have read earlier posts suggesting the slide is related to the oil price, but I don`t see that affecting this business much at all . Others, however may think otherwise.

I have bought at higher prices recently.

Support getting closer c.950p

[emeraldzebra] 26/11/2014 16:21

got to say - i fail totally to understand this fall off. way overdone in my opinion....

[eggbaconandbubble] 26/11/2014 16:16

roddiemac, I'm not overly stressed as I haven't bought in yet but strangely as soon as i put them on the radar they started imitating an ME109 over the English Channel!
Any reason for this fall or more poignantly why do you suggest shareholders should be 'relaxed'.

[roddiemac2] 25/11/2014 19:30

eggbacon etc. and gucci --relax.

Already topped up Weir once; can't win!

I agree - have been watching for a while. Shares in oil related with a yield of less than 2% seem to be vulnerable. I have some monies to invest for income, with capital preservation, and am looking for a bottom in a number of oil related service companies of quality. They must all be oil price related to a greater or lesser extent and the likes of PFC fuels the mood.
If there had been an Iran agreement then crude prices would really have plummeted (it's shocking how we have gotten used to the recent high prices of oil and so quickly forgotten the past) and all service companies would have reflected the news, even if they are only second order linked.
WEIR is my holding suffering from the effect. I sold PFC and AMEC well over a year ago.
I am looking to increase WEIR and add FSJ to my portfolio, but don't pretend to be able to predict when and I'm not holding my breath.
Nice board, by the way.

Bought my first penny share, Riv!
HDD (on today's results): like the technology, directors, customers - but Oh! the vulnerability to orders - small, first holding though.

Got to be oil related in my view. Whatever co says if oil price stays where it is risk of a profit warning down the line increases and impact on a high rated stock can be nasty.

I have been uneasy with this dropping for last few weeks
:-(

[bouleversee] 25/11/2014 13:15

As did I, at 1086. My largest holding so not a happy bunny at the moment, esp. as many of my other holdings (inc. Petrofac - eek!) are now under water. Perhaps I'll leave the rest of my money earning peanuts in cash. Haven't heard any bad news from FSJ, however, so hoping for a reassuring comment from them.

Reaction to the fall in crude prices and the exposure they have to the exploration market. I know the recent rns said this did not matter, but I can think of no other reason, other than I pressed buy again last week!

[eggbaconandbubble] 25/11/2014 12:20

Why are these still dropping off, Anyone?

[roddiemac2] 17/11/2014 23:09

Hello emeraldzebra-- Yes , a good buy at the current price.

[emeraldzebra] 17/11/2014 14:52

----sorry my machine not so reliable these days !!

[emeraldzebra] 17/11/2014 14:52

relationship to the oil markets. a strong buy in my opinion though.

[emeraldzebra] 17/11/2014 14:51

roddiemac2 - i agree completely - i can see no reason for the fall whatsoever --extraordinary. maybe Comane has a good point...re the distant

Possibly because of the falling oil price traders are marking down anything with any connection with oil. The drop in oil price has no effect on Fisher

Excellent Q3 trading statement this morning, with overall trading nicely in line. Three of the four divisions are trading strongly and the other one is just slowing a little from a prior stronger quarter.

Revenues are showing "good growth" year on year and the outlook is good for Q4. Can't ask for more:

[roddiemac2] 12/11/2014 09:33

gucci,

So what ? Markets are not logical in the short term . The story here is terrific.

[gucci] 11/11/2014 22:25

Still falling :-(

[rivaldo] 05/11/2014 23:05

But it rose quickly from 1100p or so recently - probably just a blip before the next leg upwards.

[gucci] 05/11/2014 22:29

:-(
fell over 5% this week

[roddiemac2] 05/11/2014 18:08

gucci ,---it is not falling like a ton of bricks.
