Wont let me trade here

[bouleversee] 29/9/2022 12:59

That must be why the share price has shot up this morning. LOL.

[blue377] 29/9/2022 11:17

Does FSJ do sub sea pipeline repairs, bit of work about at the moment.

[r2oo] 08/9/2022 08:47

We'll if Liz Truss gets her way with increasing North Sea oil and gas that's surely a good sign for FSJ...!

[brucie5] 07/9/2022 09:19

Good coverage on stocko. One to watch, maybe not buy quite yet. I'm not currently holding, since dividend to keep me. But I feel bottom must be hereabouts. Like Scsw, I was just a tad early.

Debt down from a year ago, cost savings of £3m p.a being targeted, h2 expected to be materially stronger than h1, substantial undrawn credit facilities available which would guide the company through what is obviously tough period and a market cap of 150m with net assets quite a bit higher. All time highs are a long way off but I think the negative is baked in here (not to say the current market couldn’t punish further but I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom).

[r2oo] 07/9/2022 08:21

OuchAt least it seems they are recognising and addressing their problems. A reduction in debt is welcome but still over £170m of it on FY profits of maybe £10m, they will really need to offload some major parts of the business to get that down.Can't see many investors wanting to put their money into this until the debt is less than 3x profit and sales, profit and margins notably increase.

[terminator101] 07/9/2022 07:37

Those results don't look good. Might have 2%revenue increase but profit is down almost 50%. Markets are unforgiving at the moment.

[brucie5] 22/8/2022 13:58

Looks like a return to £3.

[bouleversee] 20/8/2022 11:09

As I said, Brucie, I'm not planning to sell at this price and am hoping for a recovery but there is a long way to go. I must, however, learn to take some profits when they are there, even from my old stalwarts.

[hamhamham1] 20/8/2022 09:00

Buy and hold for me.
1500 is your recent share purchase, 1500p is my target :)

[gymratt] 19/8/2022 09:01

Just had my first nibble(1500 not showing yet.) A lovely 'cup and handle' on the chart..

[brucie5] 18/8/2022 22:39

Not suggesting you buy more - but may be worth holding for recovery..? You're in good company here with OIT having taken just under 5%. They are very focused in their folio holdings and seem to do consistently well. Here are the major share holders.


This looks also like having been rather good news, I'm sure you're aware:


I'm rather positive about prospects here, despite lack of a dividend. For me it's a turnaround story.

Good luck, whatever you decide.

[bouleversee] 18/8/2022 21:29

Thanks, Brucie. I went onto the SCSW site and accepted the offer of a sample report, hoping it would be the recent one but it was dated Dec. 2020. I don't want to subscribe to something that can't get the divs. right, however, and till I get new specs don't want to plough through acres of small print.

As it happens, I have some cash in my ISA waiting to be reinvested, but that's not really the point. If a company stops paying dividends for a long time and the share price keeps dropping, I would take some persuading to buy more or to sell at such a low price without further information.

[brucie5] 18/8/2022 20:11

Ah. Ok. Can't offer advice, obviously, except that if it's in an ISA, you can also consider taking capital down as 'total return', rather than just depending on dividends. So a share price going back up without dividends can be just as good as one going the other way, with dividends!

My hope obviously, is that this may be the former...

But wdik, except that if it is indeed a large holding, you get hold of a copy of the SCSW report.

Kind regards,
B5.

[bouleversee] 18/8/2022 18:14

No, I haven't yet as no link was provided. However, the continued lack of divs. (how am I expected to pay my bills?) and fall in share price doesn't inspire confidence. I haven't sold any shares (too late now) but at my age there is no guarantee I will still be around if/when the share price recovers and in the meantime I expect and need a positive return on my investments to complement the fixed rate annuity inherited from my husband. All my stars seem to be exploding!

[brucie5] 18/8/2022 17:28

Hmm, seems you're right. I'm not sure why Stocko suggests 5.15%.
Broader market concerns aside, why are you worried?
I assume you've read the SCSW article..?

[bouleversee] 18/8/2022 16:32

Are you sure you are looking at the right stats., Brucie? According to the info on my IWeb acct., FSJ has not paid a div. since 6/11/20 and none has been declared since then. Sorry to see that it did dive today. As a long term holder of for me quite a large position, I am rather worried.

[brucie5] 18/8/2022 15:12

Bought some on this retrace. Assuming that the share price doesn't promptly dive once it views my interest (;-)I will consider a larger position. Most favourably impressed both by the article in SCSW and the chart, which looks like the the Real McCoy. Though I've said that many times and it's turned out not to be...
It does also have a dividend of >5%, which, while hardly eye catching, is not to be sneezed at.
Finally, I notice no screens on Stocko, though it does label it a 'small cap contrarian', which I imagine is among its so called 'winning styles'. Hopefully, the screens will follow hereafter.

[nobilis] 18/8/2022 09:09

Twanging upwards

[napoleon 14th] 17/8/2022 10:44

Never buy on the Monday following a SCSW tip.
Wait a few days and watch it come back to earth, like today.

Having said that, could be a winner long term.

[our haven] 15/8/2022 14:10

Thanks Ian Dippie, good to know why the rise has happened.

[iandippie] 15/8/2022 12:30

The reason for the rise today is because it was a main recommendation by Small Company Stock Watch this weekend.
