Add my 25k at 7.16p orange to that.

I'm must be mad but it's T20 and after that large premium buy and
considering the small market cap i thought it's worth a punt.

Purely a trade on momentum and stakebuilding.

[orange1] 12/6/2007 11:15

Very true - my reading of the trades to date is 200k buys and 50k sales.

[quotes_4_u] 12/6/2007 11:01

155k at 7.75p.

Naturally the mm's drop the price after such a large premium buy
to try and hope/pray they get some sellers.

Watching but no position as of yet.

Impressive !

They did sod all when i held them, lets hope that the company this
time around when they sound the bullish tones they actually mean it
and make some money this time.

But fair play for holding on orange...

Interesting ... Resource Solutions Group Plc, the "5th largest independent resourcing group in the UK" has disclosed that following the purchase of
550k shares on 24.5.07 they now own 4.16% of Highams.
Will they be stopping there?

noticed over the last month that there has been some shares changing hands behind the scenes, with also directors buying, a new director ,it is all looking well for the year end.

[dickyno1] 01/5/2007 10:17

the company seems to be undervalued in the short term lookong for a valuation of 3.5 million.

[dickyno1] 01/5/2007 10:14

looking for a valuation of 3.5 million on this one.

New boy was granted options last week. The conditions for exercise make interesting reading:

"All options are exercisable at any time between 30 March 2010 and 30 March 2017 subject to the audited gross profit figure of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2008 being in excess of #600,000 greater than the audited gross profit figure of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2007. In the event that the above gross profit figure to 2008 is not achieved, one third of the option shall instead vest on an increase in gross profit of #500,000 or more."


Gross Profit in 2004 was 1627k, in 2005 1713k and in 2006 2112k.
If the options are exercisable only if Gross Profit in 2008= 2007 Gross Profit + 600k we seem to be well on our way to a very decent net profit in 2008
and hopefully a much hiigher share price.

This share is going nowhere,untill the RSNs from the directors amount to real profits.Investors need proof AVOID.Long term might be interesting.

[orange1] 15/2/2007 17:47

Here's an encouraging article about the new boy at the top Dave Pye, with very positive noises about current trading:

Vuelands
Perhaps you could substantiate your wild allegations by indicating which "totally misleading statements" you believe the directors have made.
If you can't, your post may be "very damaging" for your own "future prospects". LOL!

PS Always a bit risky posting at 23:27. As a cop once said to me: "Been a long day, sir?"

[vuelands] 19/12/2006 23:27

The more I look at this the more I consider that these directors should be censored for totally misleading the market. I intend to make a request to the authorities for a full enquiry. Lets see if Suffolk Life start buying again, perhaps taking advantage. No matter what, this is very damaging to the future prospects for the share price as no one can trust anything the company says again. Just another example why investors are running away from the AIM market, while the authorities fail to get a real grip of the situation.

[quotes_4_u] 19/12/2006 13:39

It would'nt take much of a improvement to swing from a loss to
a profit and with a market cap of under 2 million the shares could
easy rocket if it happens.
But i'm sick of all these aim stocks with their misleading statements,
one by one i'm getting out, all i have left now is Dvs and that is
pretty frienless thesedays, glad i dont have to sit here all day watching
a screen for a miracle.

Gross profit % was 13.1%, up from 12.1% in the equivalent period last year.

Unfortunately, turnover was down quite a bit, which wiped out the benefit of this small improvement in margin.

To be an attractive proposition they need to substantially increase turnover whilst maintaining margins at 13% plus, OR they need to improve gross margins, to a minimum of 15%.

[orange1] 19/12/2006 13:25

The company is however moving in the right direction: higher margin work coupled with organic growth. The new guy seems just the man to spearhead the push for organic growth.

[vuelands] 19/12/2006 09:25

Not at all impressed with these figures, nor is the market it seems, very poor.

[wiganer] 19/12/2006 08:42

Their gross profit margin seems extraordinarily low for a business of this type.

[quotes_4_u] 19/12/2006 07:58

I was expecting better than that, dont understand what all the bullish
rns's were about when they still cant get into profit on all that turnover.
I'm sure it will come good but i'm not going to wait, i'd rather go on holiday
with the money instead of waiting till 2010 for something to happen.

[orange1] 19/12/2006 07:24

The results are none too exciting but the tone is definitely bullish and I like the look of New Boy. I will continue to hold. Could be in for some excitement at last.
Happy Birthday, quotes!

[quotes_4_u] 18/12/2006 16:41

Makes no odds what we say now because the market is shut but what has
made me hold on is Hss stating they've been increasing their margins "pleasingly" is the word i recall them using, and one positive
thing Hss do have is turnover, i'm just dreaming of some great results,
it's my birthday tomorrow so i'm hoping for a happy coincedence thay they
decided to issue results on the same day.

[orange1] 18/12/2006 16:35

quotes
If the results tomorrow and the tone are not bullish then it is probably right to move on because to me it will be an indication that all is not well.
Now or never!

[quotes_4_u] 18/12/2006 16:19

Orange.

Casting back as far as advfn would let me hss have been loss making,
do you think they will announce a profit tomorrow after two bullish
updates, no signs at all of any insider trading, total volume in the
last 2 months i reckon is under 300k..lol..

It's a lottery, if they are dull i will sell out my small holding,
must be better uses for the money than a share flat lining for 2 months.
