Hansard Global Share Discussion Threads

[grahamburn] 21/6/2013 08:37

Today's RNS removes a significant uncertainty for the company and should have a positive effect on the share price over time.

However, a careful reading of the first paragraph (below) does raise a continuing uncertainty which seems to have been glossed over by the statement:

"Hansard Global plc ("Hansard" or "The Group"), the specialist long-term savings provider, today confirmed that, through a court mediation process, Hansard Europe Limited has agreed a settlement of €1.5 million in relation to an underlying claim of approximately €5.5m in Norway. This settlement, without any admission of liability, encompassed 47 of the 48 policyholders that have initiated litigation totalling €7.2m in Norway."

So, there is one remaining policyholder who has NOT settled and it would seem, by a simple arithmetical subtraction, that that remaining policyholder has a claim for €1.7m (ie more than the total settlement for all the other 47). On top of that, there will also be substantial further legal fees to settle/fight this outstanding claim.

My trade is technical DVI not fundamental, I know that the trackers will all head through the same door at the end of the week so will sell into strenth. I also have GAW, PRV, and GLE that will be going the same way, but not all the GLE as it is a core holding, its that is has risen by 110p since March and I had a decent unit then!!

Interesting exBroker, are you thinking a trade to 150p or more of a long term holder? As you know, I filled my boots lower down but not been buying recently. Perhaps I should!

Bought another 50 today to help out those nice index funds next week!!!

Good spot exBroker. For those of us who are bearish about markets but like HSD, it is good to see stability on a day like today.

[solarno lopez] 06/6/2013 16:08

No !

good news

Have any of you spotted the fact that it has passed liquidity and will be eligible for inclusion in the small cap index on June 21????

Been in since 88p last year,i am happy to hold for growth and the nice divi.

[this_is_me] 21/5/2013 15:32

Yes I don't understand why it is less than £2; maybe it will not be for much longer.

I never understood the fall in price, just seems to be throwing off cash and strategy seems to be paying off. Still very substantially undervalued IMO.

[deepvalueinvestor] 10/5/2013 14:09

It's one of my big ones across most accounts so this makes up for a more defensive strategy generally.

[this_is_me] 10/5/2013 11:27

Yes, got a pile at 92p last November, even better they are in my ISA.

Wishing I'd picked up a few more of these at around a quid! I hope some of you all managed to :)

Don't need to post the chart now. The breakout is obvious in the header. Great figures today. Lack of posts suggests we might rise a bit more if if they bring any exposure.

[this_is_me] 09/5/2013 07:55

Happy days! Great news today!

Think the downtrend has broken, although I'm not sure. I'll have a play with the chart later.

[this_is_me] 07/5/2013 14:54

I hope not!!

[gargoyle2] 07/5/2013 14:51

Tried to pick up a large-ish order (15k shares) while the buy was at 105 today, but it immediately went to 107. Doubt I'll get that chance again!

[this_is_me] 07/5/2013 14:37

Management statement on Thursday could have something to do with it.

[aleman] 07/5/2013 13:49

Interesting looking chart now as it gets tight between a recent uptrend and the longer term downtrend.

[hezza123] 03/5/2013 16:18

Only offering lots of 1000 electronically now, which might suggest that the seller has left the building.

[hezza123] 02/5/2013 16:39

Nice to see a spate of chunky buys here this afternoon. Onwards and upwards hopefully!

[deepvalueinvestor] 25/4/2013 23:31

I agree Aleman

[aleman] 25/4/2013 14:19

That 603k sell probably explains the recent weakness when other yield shares have been rising. Might be a nice opportunity to top-up.
