interesting disposal by a Stephen Raven- private investor or linked to company?

also interesting that the CEO has trebled her stake in the company.

may well follow suit myself- this is a well run business, that had plenty of organic growth prospects for me to invest in it pre-acquisition

wondering what other shareholders think?

Thanks amitkoth - I know she is :-)

I started this thread having been in HTP before:



My only reason for taking profits was the weakness in the market September and the general weakness in recruitment stocks at that time too, despite these businesses doing very well. Some were highly rated like MPI and RWA and you could understand the fall but it seems to have taken the very lowly rated recruiters with it, unjustifiably imo.

Anyway, recent weeks show most recruiters picking up (similarly in the States) and so now looks like an ideal time to be buying. These are growing at 100% and the market affords it a forward PE of 10.8 compared to the 20's seen elsewhere. That forecast will need to be lifted substantially too I suspect. Quite possible to see HTP make a new high much like NRG imo - a good 30%+ possible here imo.

EVO and Investors Chron keep reittereating it's a buy but the market sleeps - best time to buy imo.

Typical damp response from so called 'investors' as the market is weak in general I guess. The way to make money is buy when things are weak imo.

These were tipped in Investors Chronicle recently - I'd expect them to give that tip a follow up after this statement and prior to the results in September - seems the punters need to be 'told' what to buy rather than bing able to think for themselves.

1.3p eps in H1 2003 - results will be "significantly ahead of the same six-month period in 2003"

Got to do 2p+ in H1 imo and this will mean the 4.08p earnings forecast for the year will be smashed.

Just wait till the likes of QTA, NRG, MPI, RWA, HVN all start reporting great results, the punters will be on the sniff for the cheapest recruitment companies aroud then imo.

FTSE - I haven't a clue but as long as it trades fairly sideways we'll all make money in the better stocks imo.

The interesting thing today was that all the mm's moved the bid up 2p like that - they are usually slow and reluctant movers.

Several possibilites imo.

1) Director buy being filled (needs to be done about now, before the closed period)

2) They are going to put out a trading statement (I doub't it - there was director dealing a couple of weeks ago - I'd expect an announcement in a few weeks at least.

3) Going to be tipped in Shares or IC. A while back I went to buy more at the close of play on a Weds and the mm's wouldn't sell within spread, saying they were going to be tipped in IC. As it happened it wasn't in that week but the week after - so they get to know. These are so illiquid that they really have to chase it on a rally - could be very good if there is news judging by their move today.

4) MM's have been asleep and got low on stock, were caught out with a 10K buy (I doubt it).

A great little stock - only way is sideways or up between here and the results imo.

More positive news from RWA today - what more do 'investors' want?

The question I keep asking myself Cambium, seems most need to be told what to buy by a mag or the press.

NRG is the same, the dummies out there will sit and watch - then bundle in when they are tipped at 10% higher.

DYOR - best 4 letter an investor can invest in.

Well as I said, the best old Harvey could do was a loss of 0.74p per share after a basic loss of 8.7p.

HVN have great exposure to an upturn and IT recruitment but a rise from 0.92p loss to a 0.74p loss isn't stunning is it?

Hat Pin had en eps rise to 3.5p from a loss of 2.2p - staggering - yet they trade at just 60p. And they have massive exposure to any upturn as they specialise in media recruitment that will benefit from the Olymoics, US Election and Euro 2004 this year - listen to what WPP are saying.

HVN cashflow looks rotten - HTP cashflow is much, much better.

So what do you like - a miserly reduction in losses and a 90p share price with HVN or a 5.7p increase in earnings and a share price of 60p?

The market will catch on eventually - probably around the HTP AGM on May 1 when they sing about how well they do.

Investors Chronicle should cover both next Friday, after the results this week.

Little tick up on the bid, profit takers gone hopefully.

With a bit of luck Shares or Investors Chron will tip these over the next few days and wake the wider investment community to them

Mentioned in the Mail, small piece by Geoff Foster.

I remember Shares Mag and Sunday Times tipping these in the past - perhaps they will wake investors over the next couple of weeks.

Due another leg up here but it will move to fast for most of the slow 'investors' that I see umming and arring over whether to buy this or that.

Early birds catch the worm with this one.
