In the interests of transparency as a long term shareholder, I should say that I've sold 2/3 of my holding.
It's not that I don't believe in the company but just feel that the rating is getting quite full now and so I believe the upside is more limited.

I used to work for IGR and bought in 8 years ago when it was very cheap. Recently the posts have been filled with a lot of jargon that is hard to understand. As the price goes up and IGR gets more attention, this board seems to be drawing in a more diverse group of investors. I like the attention it is getting and hope it continues to push upwards. Good luck to all the IGR share holders. Lets ride this even higher!

IG Design is a stock worth buying, said Midas in the Mail on Sunday. The former International Greetings has been a recovery story since hitting a lot in 2008 but prospects for further growth from the maker of greetings cards, Christmas crackers, wrapping paper and children's stationary are said to be bright, with a customer list that includes Costco, Wal-Mart, Tesco, Target, Aldi, Lidl and Waitrose. Annual results to end-March showed how in recent years management have reduced the reliance on the UK, cutting overseas revenues risen to 66%; reduced reliance on cards and Christmas, with cards down to 9% of sales and Christmas still accounting for around half, as well as reducing the debt, which was down to �17.5m from �42.1m three years ago.

IG sells a range of around 0.5bn products in around 80 countries, with the US beginning to be a major market, helped by Fineman shifting the product range downmarket. Retailers buy IG products for an average price of about 55p and price them on the shelves at between �1 and �2, which keeps demand resilient whatever the economic conditions. IG's manufactures in The Netherlands, Wales, China and the US produce goods quickly and cheaply. Further investment to upgrade US manufacturing due to be complete by early next year, should add growth in what is the biggest market in the world for gift products and children's stationery. Brokers are sanguine for 2017, forecasting 13% sales growth to �269m and similar profits acceleration to �12.3m, with the dividend up 1p to 3.5p.

Had a nibble. Roll on 300p

[dadedidodu] 10/8/2016 08:50

IGR - the third largest supplier worldwide of gift packaging and crackers gone to new high. Further excellent results and massive divided hike. 70% earnings in dollars. Tiny market share of a 20 billion growing market with no significant competition and massive scale advantages on sourcing and marketing.

looks like will kiss 300 shortly

last MM at 235p
