i reckon the forward statement in this years results is gonna be superb...imho they'll smash the revised forecast for yesr end 2008.

[anusol] 07/6/2007 12:18

just in on today's weakness. I like the fact that they are ONLY producing £1.6m profit for 2006/7 after a warning, yet they are only £12m market cap. They have known about Mount Lane for a long time and will be well on the way to sorting that problem out, then it should be a good rerating upwards over the next 6 months.
All IMHO

[deanroberthunt] 30/5/2007 16:36

anything around 60p is a bargain imo. personally i think they'll beat next years forecasts.

[orvil] 30/5/2007 16:27

its very difficult to time the bottom

[aa29] 30/5/2007 16:26

You'll probably get some at 58p if you're patient and wait until next week for a bit more selling to have happened.

[orvil] 30/5/2007 16:01

that wasnt my buy mine was at 64p not shown yet it was done just before my post at 15.32

[davidlloyd] 30/5/2007 15:40

Orvil,
How'd you get them so cheap?? 58p seems pretty good to me! Or is it just incorrectly reported?

just bought another 6000 shares- more soon

[deanroberthunt] 25/5/2007 07:45

higher low?

[orvil] 23/5/2007 18:11

deanroberthunt you cannot buy or sell at the quoted prices in reasonable volume-so your 36% gain would only be worth it for a couple of thousand shares

[davidlloyd] 23/5/2007 16:45

but I didnt.....

:-/

[deanroberthunt] 23/5/2007 15:42

offering 75p on the bid now! so one could have bought t'other day for 55p and sell today for 75p....36% gain.

[spaceparallax] 23/5/2007 14:01

Silly isn't it.

[devil20] 23/5/2007 12:58

The MMs are certainly lifting this on very few buys, unless there's more in the background. At this ratio another 200k of buys we could all retire! lol

[robsy2] 23/5/2007 12:44

Thats too much blue now!
Well Done All!

[davidlloyd] 23/5/2007 12:02

when this shifts it really shifts....

[spaceparallax] 23/5/2007 09:47

Good for you Orvil.

[orvil] 23/5/2007 09:06

i have purchased another 16600 shares into my sipp the fall seems to be overdone and the announcements look promising

[deanroberthunt] 23/5/2007 08:44

this'll end over 70p today.

[deanroberthunt] 23/5/2007 08:41

LOL. share price manipulation or what? can I have a job.....simply drop share price for no reason and squeeze out weak holders, then hey presto sterling news out and sell it back to punters at a premium....LOL...jobs for the boys.

[robsy2] 22/5/2007 17:03

any volume?
I think these guys are on the right track business wise but I do see a cash crunch next month when they have to pay out the 1.27m for the earn out provision on the acq of The Corporate Training Group.They will have to pay out another million in June 08 or shares to make up a max of £5 million. They took out an extra 4 million of loans to finance the purchase but I can't see much cash on the balance sheet. Cash generation isn't good , then they have a divi to pay. I see the balance sheet as being quite weak at the moment.
I think I'll wait!

[deanroberthunt] 22/5/2007 14:55

there's your blue Robsy!

[robsy2] 21/5/2007 17:23

Yep its hard to call it.Like I say, the accounts are a bit difficult form me to interpret but the profit warning needs to be put in context , profits will be much higher than last year but still less than expected.I have had a good run recently buying into stocks that have disappointed the city and have been oversold. Like you I think this could be another one, but I would prefer to see them in the blue before I step in.

[spaceparallax] 21/5/2007 16:48

When last we were updated, ML was cited as the problem area. At close today, the share price has dropped approx 35%, although I'm unclear as to the reasons behind this latest dip. Presumably a large disposal being worked, but as yet undeclared - if that's the case, it really depends upon who's disposing as to how significant the disposal is. If KB, then I'm not too bothered, but if one of the Directors or strong supporters, then it could presage further bad news. A few more weeks until we see the results, but I still retain the view that these are likely to prove significantly oversold.

All that said, like Robsy, I too am sitting, watching and resisting the temptation to top up.

[robsy2] 21/5/2007 11:17

I am on the sidelines watching and wondering whether to buy.I imagine the problem is Mountlane.The other bits of the business seem to be working well. Having had a look at the accounts we can see that they will have some dilution of shares over the next year or so and they have to stump up the cash to pay for the acquisition, which as its running well which will mean a good earn out for the sellers so that could leave them a bit short of cash next month.
I will stay on the sidelines until things look a bit clearer.
