I guess reaction to the SFR 'warning'

No suggestions. According to Yahoo Volume was 38,344 vs an average volume of 106,921. So 36% of the normal volume caused this drop.

I don't believe there is an announcement in the offing, and brokers don't seem to be re-forecasting. Has someone hinted that road improvement contracts might not happen? Mystified.

Ouch, the market moves up and hils bombs on low volume, I can't see any news, anybody have any suggestions?

Recent weakness seems overdone!!

Wonder what is occuring as it seemed very strong but has collapsed of late?

Another diver. Marking down on little trading. No one wants stock I guess

[bothdavis] 06/11/2007 20:04

Can't believe no-one is hailing this great little company!!

Considering recent market woes it still attempts to make all time highs, amazing!!

In this market, what else do you expect. But look at the chart and compare.

Another set of excellent results. Little followed but a star imo.

[greengiant] 29/8/2007 17:01

Results out Monday, all in all should be positive. This one has held up remarkably well over the summer and would expect c £4 per share following results.

This statement was made on the 11th May - effectively signalling that H1 performance will be strong

"I am pleased to report that the current year has started well with trading
ahead of budget"

H2 will be enhanced thro' the further acquisition of ZinkInvest. All in all looking good
