What other companies are in security area like GFS?

[essentialinvestor] 01/12/2015 11:05

Bought some this AM.

[essentialinvestor] 30/11/2015 14:33

Would not term that a huge buy, however it's good to see.

Getting tempted here.

[alphahunter] 30/11/2015 14:19

Thank you Bigboots.

[bigboots] 27/11/2015 14:05

Thats was a massive director purchase...... £110,000 in hard cash

[alphahunter] 27/11/2015 11:16

Securitas' share price coming on like gangbuster.

[alphahunter] 05/9/2015 21:40

It's amazing how many stocks were and still are expensive...
Should have shorted it at 296p rather than just taken profit.

[enami] 12/8/2015 07:33

An interim dividend of 3.59p per share for the six months ended 30 June 2015 will be paid on 16 October to shareholders on the register on 4 September.

[alphahunter] 05/8/2015 17:05

275p now, down from 296p
Adecco CH83.5, up from CH80

[srpactive] 20/5/2015 08:45

Moved completely out, awaiting pull back,
will follow.
Big movement in my other stocks.

Blackrock buying again, they are following the active.

[srpactive] 21/4/2015 16:03

Not too impressed with the new appointment, as if
he has anything to do with Wolseley, they have permitted
Screwfix to enter the market and steal all their thunder.

Lets hope he is a bit sharper here.

[srpactive] 14/4/2015 16:07

rns

Blackrock now holding more than 5%, good volume
310p to be broken to the upside very soon.

A former G4S executive has recently become CEO at a high tech homeland security company.

23/02/2015 15:51 Alliance News Touchstone Gold Subsidiary Appoints Ex-G4S Executive As CEO LSE:TGL Touchstone
23/02/2015 15:37 RNS Non-Regulatory Touchstone Gold Limited Jamie Ridealgh Appointed to Executive Team LSE:TGL Touchstone
"Former Western Canadian Director of Operations at G4S Secure Solutions brings world-class operational security and commercial experience to Touchstone
London, 23 February 2015 - Touchstone (AIM: TGL), the AIM listed investment company today announces that its wholly owned subsidiary TGL Services which acquired GOS Systems ("GOS") in late 2014, has appointed Mr Jamie Ridealgh as Chief Executive Officer. In his role, Jamie will lead the executive team, and the operations, sales, and product development teams.
Jamie brings over 15 years of operational security experience, with a track record in the military, governmental, and commercial sectors across the world.
Leading up to this role, Jamie was Director of Operations, Western Canada for G4S Secure Solutions (Canada) Ltd where he was instrumental in formulating and delivering operational planning efficiency.

Franz Forrester, Chief Operating Officer of TGL commented, "We are delighted to have Jamie join the executive team. Jamie is an accomplished executive with an impressive career history in the security and technology industry. Jamie will bring to bear his vast experience in operations, sales, and product development experience to maximise growth potential in a number of operational areas and markets.
Our recent technology upgrades and new clients continue to drive our capabilities and growth, and Jamie's operational and commercial expertise dovetails perfectly with the expansion plans already in progress within the company."

"Indeed chesy, well everything is a gamble of course but look at what we are getting for a Market Cap of a mere 1.5 miln GBP. Been showing GOS to some friends who understand this sort of stuff and they are saying WOW! Its like a private version of GCHQ."

[alphahunter] 19/3/2015 16:38

Good indeed.

I switched for Adecco (temp agency), cheaper on almost any measure and bullish in their conf call with talks of Europe in general and France (largest market) in particular turning the corner.
The reevaluation of CHF gives them a good currency for further acquisition as well, plus they do regular share buy-backs.

Manpower is a tad cheaper, again France is the largest non-domestic (US) market, but there is a currency impact on thei global operations and eps revised downwards recently.

[srpactive] 19/3/2015 14:56

Looking good, directors buying also.

[srpactive] 10/3/2015 15:49

I think we will retest 284p.

[srpactive] 10/3/2015 15:41

No, it went higher intraday the other week, but I am
happy, will consider getting back in soon.

[alphahunter] 10/3/2015 15:24

300p, that was the all-time high of the last 22 month, reached week, well done.
I never manage to buy at the all-time low and sell at the all-time high.

:-(

[srpactive] 10/3/2015 15:10

Yes I did reduce a little before the results at just under 300p.

Still positive on gfs, will return when rsi 14
looks better.

[alphahunter] 10/3/2015 15:06

I've bowed out at the 298p and 294p mark - can't see going much further up in the short term (valuation, business momentum, elections,...) even though the long-term case and restructuring story is intact IMHO.
