Chart starting to look dire.

Hello,

I've recently started reading these boards, and thought I'd introduce myself. I first invested in HTP in Feb this year, with a small tranch of 4000 shares. This has been upped during the year to 20,000 because I believe the company has a good future. Not a lot, some might say, but a substantial slice of my portfolio.

Good luck all...

Top up level IMO. Picked up a batch as 57p on friday.

[amitkoth] 31/10/2004 12:25

Highly promising home for my money IMHO. Solid growth in recruitment, fixed costs, escalating business translates to pure profit. The record is sound, and in the industry upturn, this is sector is grossly undervalued.

Nice positive article in the indie today by the respected derek pain

Sold approx. one third of my holding at 58, trade not yet showing (3,750) - also building up some cash, will buy them back at some point.

Took profits here and in NRG - just can't see this sector going higher while the general market looks so bleak.

Reluctant decission and still think HTP and NRG are solid, just want to get a bit more cash in the Portfolio.

takes a day or two to sink in sometime,

Doesn't sound like they could be bothered! I think these could be worth 70-80p or more but who knows in this market? Just have to wait and see, the IC should update next week, they have been positive about them.

[lafiamma] 16/9/2004 12:25

They say, "however there is potential to outperform our forecasts".

They didn't add any insightful comments, just copied and pasted the results, I wonder if they actually read them?

laf ;-/

[gzr] 16/9/2004 12:22

They cannot be serious!

[lafiamma] 16/9/2004 12:16

EVO have left forecasts unchanged at 4.1p - lol!

laf ;-)

[gzr] 16/9/2004 12:12

Close to breaking out. What are the expectations for the full year? If the second half is stronger again like last year can we expect eps of 5.5p-6p?

[cockneyrebel] 16/9/2004 10:17

good results - muted response tho.

Seems this whole sector suffers from apathy.

Will just sit on mine as I have been. Very unexciting performance but one day, may be one day......

[teapreacher] 16/9/2004 07:41

surely to goodness these will go up today after results like that.

[lafiamma] 15/9/2004 18:41

Still holding all mine!

laf ;-)

[teapreacher] 15/9/2004 17:27

my word this one has gone very quiet.

have you all bailed out before interims?

interims were Sept 18 last year so should get them very soon.

anyone got any info?

[teapreacher] 02/9/2004 13:02

could be set to break out very soon.

[cockneyrebel] 02/9/2004 13:00

life in the old dog yet!

[cockneyrebel] 01/9/2004 16:02

I'm resigned to these being boring - like my NRG!

Seems if they are overvalued they are hot, if they are a bargain they are not!

Thought I'd sit it out till the results and see where we go - not bothering to add in this climate when the sector is asleep.

CR

[lafiamma] 01/9/2004 15:40

Frustrating? No.

Boring, VERY!

I bought into the stock in February, and the stock is marginally higher now than it was then. (I've traded part of my holding along the way, but made negligible gains from doing so)

I wish I could say the same for all the stocks I bought in February!
