We are nearly there.

Not really,

Just a very well run company producing fantastic cash flow.

It will pass £ 3.00 easy.

[iglet] 09/1/2007 11:39

Guess, with the rise of the last few days someone must have "guessed" what what coming - no chance that they had advance info of course!!!!

[hvs] 09/1/2007 09:06

Its flying again

[hvs] 31/12/2006 14:50

Happy New Year

all HILS holders

Looks like the deal in Europe is coming through.

In any case this a very very well run company.

Just cannot go wrong.

I find it strange when 2p , 5p and 10 p falls are being ,mentioned

DYOR and then INVEST its not LADBROOKES

[iglet] 29/11/2006 11:17

Someone playing tricks? Down very heavily for a start & then up by 2.75!

[burt46] 29/11/2006 10:43

errr. Am i missing something here. Why the sudden fall?

[gopher] 28/11/2006 21:24

Interesting that the Company made a straihtforward purchase of freehold property in the latest acquisition, sign of a conservative management.

IMO a little bit overlooked compared with midcaps after todays fall

Seems to be something interesting going on. A triple bottom is a chartists reversal signal. The bounces on the 260p line are around 4p high which indicates an initial rise to 268p and we are just about there now. Whether it is going to go higher and beat that stubborn 274p is anyones guess, but it looks promising. A new support level is forming at 260p with least resistance to the upside. We may also gain some stimulus from the xd date on 13Dec worth 3p per share. Watch for a break through 273/274p - IMO thats still the one to beat.

down a touch but think this is positive news


Hill & Smith Hldgs PLC
01 November 2006


Acquisition of Metnor Galvanizing

Hill & Smith Holdings PLC ('Hill & Smith' or the 'Company') announces that it
has completed the purchase from Metnor Group PLC ('Metnor Group') of the issued
share capital of Metnor Galvanizing Limited ('Metnor Galvanizing') for a cash
consideration of £6.53 million. The consideration is subject to adjustment on
finalisation of completion accounts. Hill & Smith has also purchased from
Moortime Limited, a subsidiary of Metnor Group, for a cash consideration of £3.2
million, the freehold property which is occupied by Metnor Galvanizing.

Metnor Galvanizing, which operates from a site in Chesterfield, provides
galvanizing and related services to the construction industry.

In the year ended 31 December 2005, Metnor Galvanizing made an operating profit,
before group management charges and restructuring costs, of £0.5 million. At
31 December 2005, the book value of the gross assets being acquired, including
the freehold property, amounted to £5.2 million.

All the existing employees and members of the management team are remaining
with Metnor Galvanizing following the acquisition.

The Directors of Hill & Smith believe that the acquisition will complement
Hill & Smith's existing galvanizing capacity, and that there will be significant
synergies with Hill & Smith's other businesses.

David Grove, Hill & Smith's chief executive, commented:

'This acquisition of Metnor Galvanizing is a further demonstration of our
commitment to investing in the Group's core businesses. We are confident that
it will be an excellent fit with Hill & Smith.'

At last hovering near its high of around 273 earlier this year.

A bullish sign IMO.

After trading sideways for so long we could hope for a serious upward burst soon. Could also be some extra buying during Nov before 13Dec xd date.

Peter,

I dont know how to add the volume charts. If anyone has any ideas let me know and i'll add them.

Cheers

[hvs] 21/10/2006 11:50

Peter ,

lol !!!

Think you are pushing your luck a little bit, but then again you do not get if you do not ask.

Nice one Burt, £ 3.00 here we come.

[petersinthemarket] 20/10/2006 10:27

Excellent move burt46!

Can we also have volumes on the header?

Is it agreed to close the original thread - if not how do we ensure that this is the thread that pops up when we put HILS in the window?

regards,
PIM

[burt46] 20/10/2006 08:51

I've added a new thread for HILS that has charts on.

[burt46] 20/10/2006 08:50

New thread for Hill and Smith with charts.

Moving in the right direction i see.....great stuff.

[petersinthemarket] 18/10/2006 18:24

Encouraging to know the directors all took up their rights!
Must imply 228 was a steal.

[petersinthemarket] 17/10/2006 16:37

Its a strange coincidence indeed that a day on which a disposal of near 400k shares is reported should end with such a solid rise in share price
