Just read the news on a trade site, well done to investor friends here.

A current paper loss. Unless your timing is perfect, that is always going to happen sometimes.

What you bought the shares at, though, is now irrelevant. Sunk cost and all that. Worrying about that is one of the most common areas where investor psychology intrudes on rational judgement. Are those shares cheap now? Yes - even cheaper than they were before. Which makes the hold a better prospect than the original buy, assuming no changes in prospects.

To me, prospects look fairly similar to what they were 6 months or so back, so I am happy sit and wait. At least rationally even if not emotionally! :)

roundup, that comment says more about your investment style than the company IMO. It implies you are a momentum investor. As a value+growth investor, I like a cheap price to buy in a company on

1. a very low single digit PE ratio
2. a good, robust growth story (good prospects, sector)
3. Good management record
4. Good balance sheet and cash generation
5. A reasonable dividend where possible

That is, in general asking quite a lot. HMS fits perfectly, though, IMO.

One last post before departure on the value of the £ and the potential for
Hallin to be a hedge against weaker sterling :

Today reported the biggest quarterly rise in UK unemployment for the quarter ending May 2009 since ILO records began in 1971

At this moment Charlie Bean, deputy governor of the Bank of England, is touring the U.K. to explain the wonders of quantitative easing. Government bond (gilt) investors will be hanging on his every word. Just last week certain gilt issues swung wildly after the central bank surprisingly decided not to increase its bond purchases beyond £125 billion ($203 billion).

Quantitive Easing of £125 billion this year, or the "creation" of £125
billion of money by resorting to the printing press.

The Budget 2009 on government's own figures shows the worst Budget deficit
£175 billion since World War II

UK Public Sector NET debt is now over £700 billion.

Bailing out the UK Bank's is conservatively costing the UK government an additional £175 billion (IMF) a higher percentage of GDP than any country in the World other than Eire.

UK Personal Debt now exceeds the oustanding figure of £1.5 Trillion.

I agree with your footnote ....... "the pound is too strong against the dollar imo and sterling will weaken, the correlation is out of sync at present."

ML, biggest problem is the IC do not have a rep for calling it correctly. Buying their sells would have proved more profitable for most investors.

It appears that Moonlover has an unhealthy obsession with HMS...reminds me of another poster that many investors had to suffer over on the RCG thread.

Why let facts get in the way. Let's not mention the asset base or prior 10 years of growth, low PER and mention in the trading statement in the company continuing to win significant new work.

Moonlover is obviously hoping to drive it lower to jump in, similar to a certain PP who bashed RCG incessantly only to buy in early 2009.

I'm sure investors can make their own minds up over HMS.

Kind regards,

Copy of my post over on this thread regarding the news of Walker10's passing away.
It may be a nice gesture for other investors who knew or respected Walker to post any remarks on the thread - for the timebeing - which can be passed onto his widow.




Glasshalfull - 5 Jul'09 - 17:31 - 1185 of 1185 edit

I've not posted over here for a long time but felt compelled to pay my respects to Walker and send my condolence to his family at this sad time. (appreciate you flagging up the news to me battlebus, even though it was very upsetting to hear this particular news).
Always found Walker's analysis and posts considered & also a poster that I would look for when trawling through the boards. A sad loss to the investment community.

ARTY - I agree that it would be a nice gesture to print out comments and share the high regard in which many of us held Walker. Perhaps you may feel it prudent to start up a specific thread where such comments could be left?

Kind regards,
GHF

GI, HMS has seemed very undervalued ever since I started looking at it around January. Whatever the cause, ISTM that cause is persisting for now.

My impression from experience is that strong undervaluation in a solid looking company seems to get a rerating at a moment usually a lot later than one would like (which of course is just after one buys a bundle!), but it usually happens in the end.

Other investors may be slower or want more comfort; but it is the earliest investors that are surest of the biggest profits that include the early upside.

Or, in a word, patience! :-)

Thanks, I shall have a look at VLE.

I never used to look at divi yields either until recently as preferred capital gains for the taxable benefits. But now look at divi yields as part of my research, and use them as confidence indicators in a business and also that divis are guaranteed returns no matter what the share price does, where as capital returns are outside of the control of investors and even the company to some extent.

I have been bitten on AIM previously with it being part of my learning curve, directors promising the earth and spinning the facts, and in the end producing very little, just keeping themselves in their well paid cushy employment at investors expense. But I do realise not all of AIM is like this, just that many investors are now giving AIM the brush off which affects sentiment and the future likely returns AIM can offer.

Yes I am biased of course as having just entered the fray here I am like the religiously converted and amazed at the low pe. I think most experienced investors would look at that pathetic pe and say get in quick and dont worry about some possible profit taking or retracement. Long term investors will be looking for the price in 12 months not a months time.
If you look at the signs then unless we get a forced big seller clearly the momentum is building here. A pe of 6 or 7 is the time to start reconsidering ones position though that means an share price of nearer 300p so is possibly some way off.
