Welcome phil, a bit boring here but remember if you are a shareholder you get special treatment if you are banged up in a G4S prison.

LOL

Just clipped a new high for the year. Hopeful to reach the ATH 285.7 by XD 4 May.

Afternoon everyone.

In here today for the first time. Prospects looking good and some promising broker forecasts.

Luck to all.

Weekly chart, just pushing up through the trend line from January high.
Wave 3 of 5 possibly. Fib target 325. A good chance to reach the ATH 285.7.

WEEKLY CHART (MACD6,12,9)

This is looking quite strong today, I can't see any reason why.

2nd highest gainer on the FTSE100.

Probably a broker upgrade we haven't seen yet.

I am surprised there is no RNS but some datils on website and also lots of coverage on the TV news.



"The contract to run HMP Birmingham – the first publicly-run prison to be transferred to a private service provider – begins in October. Featherstone 2, which is currently under construction, will open in April 2012. Both contracts are for 15 years each, with an estimated total value of around £750 million for the life of the contracts."

Surprisingly positive as I type - one of only 5 FTSE100 shares blue at the moment.

[philo124] 15/3/2011 11:38

I sold this morning fwiw; better fish to fry.

[enami] 15/3/2011 11:24

Aye - pity it's such a bad market day.

G4S cut to neutral from buy at Evolution, target price 270p vs 290p

[philo124] 15/3/2011 08:01

Results out; good cash generation.

[eipgam] 14/3/2011 17:55

results tomorrow then.... I hope they're not as good as some of my other holdings who have reported very recently only to see the share price plummett.... I give you ISAT, HOIL, AGK, TLW.... sometimes I think i am just too stupid for this game....

[enami] 09/3/2011 15:48

Thanks eipgam.

Results next Tuesday, hopefully they can do the same as Serco who are the only comparable company in my view - up about 10% since results last week.

Bought HL. at 600 yesterday on a hunch they would be promoted to the FTSE100 - looks like I was right and 5% ahead already.
