Hill Station Share Discussion Threads

[peart] 08/11/2004 09:08

Tried six flavours - superb. Very good product. Just need to ramp production over the next 6 months and then we might see it in our local Tesco. Easier said than done, but as they are just expanding should go okay. I don't think product could be better. All smooth - no lumps, most sophisticted ice cream I have ever bought/eaten. Difficult to explain but more so than HD/B&J's. Perhaps because currently not so well known/British made/different and grown up flavours. I think they have got it right. Just got to produce it now and not get bashed by the supermarkets. If they make own label just hope its not as good as Hill Station, could be dangerous to the growing brand. Also had coms with company - first class also.

It seems to me that most of the posts here are ramps.

The market seems to have other views.

I had some delicious Rum and Banana Ice Cream today. I was just a tad worried by the little gritty bits which I think were coconut. I hope they were LOL.

To everybody

Re: Haystack

Haystack is, we know, halfwitted and is only on here to be annoying to me. He has no interest at all in this company.

The only way to deal with him is to ignore him completely.

Please edit any reference to him out of your posts. Put something interesting there instead. I will do the same.

Just ignore him. He claims to be posting in response to ramping. There will be no ramping on the thread so let us just see what happens.

Evening Angel.

Thanks for flagging this on the PDR board. Looks like a good un, I must do some research over the weekend!

Good to see PDG up today (at last), have sold some but still hold a good few.
Hope that things are good for you and work is not too busy - but if it is that's also good news ;)

Mind how you go.

[angel of the north] 05/11/2004 22:10

Haystack - Are you not tired of people 'pulling your plonker' - why not just disappear under the rock from whence thou came!
Does this not embarass you my friend? If you don't hold or intend to then.....bog off for pity's sake.

[haystack] 05/11/2004 17:08

Agincourt - Not filtered

Filtering posters is a sure sign of a weak mind.

[georgie53] 05/11/2004 14:54

Hi Agincourt,
Bit new on this, but lot of hope for this co. Any chance you could email me the Independent Company Research Report to [e-mail]? Would be very grateful if you still have it.
Sorry 'bout that - just found it further up.

[haystack] 05/11/2004 13:10

This still looks a half dead dog. It looks like it has much further to fall.

[angel of the north s] 05/11/2004 08:46

It's a lovely day up in Angel land, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. The Geordies and Smoggies cruise through Europe and even the Mackems ooze quality. Everything is rosy.
I'm off to Tesco (South Shields)to treat myself to premium ice-cream! Perhaps vanilla with ginger. Got to have some.....word is it's dee-licious.
This is not investment advice, I am not qualified to give it. It is a tasty ramp!

Cy'all and.....Gan canny wi the ice cream!

[gateside] 04/11/2004 20:29

Will be going over to the Inverness Tesco's tomorrow, its a massive store open 24 hours, will have a look for some Hill Station Ice Cream and will report back here.

Still not holding... but very interested.

[angel of the north] 04/11/2004 20:24

The shares have responded reasonably since 'perceived' dilution and now what we need is some decent press over the weekend. This could be one of those shares that might just tickle people's fancy as well as the taste buds....just look at the performance of Glisten.
Disappointed that Tesco (Gateshead Town Centre) does not stock any of the range (Why)? So I cannot put one of my roots for share selection to the test....yet! 'If you like the product - Buy the shares'

Angel.

[agincourt] 03/11/2004 21:34

Found a full range if Ice Creams in Tesco. Will test then report back. LOL

Haystack

What's your view on EIC?

By the way... I think you should post another chart on CLY
...I think they're missing you...

[agincourt] 01/11/2004 20:37

."We set out to make the best-possible ice cream and to market it on quality, not
price. Ice cream-lovers certainly seem to like that approach - and to relate to
our 'spirit of adventure'. So we are delighted that the City has just given us
an equally encouraging response. With the new funds, we'll be able to make
people even more aware of the Hill Station difference: authenticity, originality
- and the occasional taste of the unexpected."

[haystack] 01/11/2004 20:35

I suppose that one reason for expecting this to tank is that Agincourt seems to support it in some shape or form. I might have known he would pick a stock that is doomed. He claims to have bought DDD so anything is possible.

[agincourt] 01/11/2004 20:29

Presumably that's why they are moving to a bigger factory.

"Hill Station ice cream is manufactured in a 2,500 square foot factory in North
Wiltshire under stringent standards of hygiene and procedure. The Company is
currently planning to relocate its manufacturing to a larger facility, which
will provide sufficient production capacity both to accommodate significant
future growth of the Hill Station brand and to allow the Company to pursue new
business aggressively."

[adriand] 01/11/2004 20:23

Hill Station is currently operating from a 2,500sq ft factory - thats only 50' x 50'. What is to stop another startup company coming in an taking a bit of the market.

What about the smoothie company "Innocent", it would seem a natural extension for me.

[factsonly] 01/11/2004 19:28

Haystack - I'm not a shareholder, but you need to substantiate your comments a bit more... otherwise you're simply talking rubbish. If it was such a no hope, why stick around on this BB (i guess you're either trying to pick up a bargain when the opportunity arises or you want to short it. I don't like people who just go around trying to scare people with no evidence behind them. If you want to short the stock, just let me know when... and I'll buy more/double of whatever you short ;P

[angel of the north s] 01/11/2004 15:06

Pulling back all the while......As on Friday, one cannot trust the sell/buy figures being registered. With a 10% dilution being perceived to come into effect tomorrow morning the MM's have pre-empted wrongly shareholders reactions to this.
My feelings are that Hillstation will absorb this and go on from here. A golden opportunity to add (Would have been better a couple of hours ago)and I don't think these opportunities will arise at this price again.
I feel comfortable.
Angel.

[haystack] 01/11/2004 13:01

This does look like being a lot lower yet.

[liarspoker] 01/11/2004 12:44

looks like the intra-day bottom has been.

And what a nicely shaped bottom if I may add !!!!!

[angel of the north s] 01/11/2004 12:15

Although the ASK price was 11p - no-one was paying that.....9.8 was the norm. Haystack! What exactly do you mean by 'No-Hope' stocks - Why do you come on this board and make such a statement? Give me a SOLID and SENSIBLE reason for your INANE statement. Or are you de-ramping to get in cheaper....if that's the case, looks like you missed the bus.

Angel.
