Looking out for any trades above 10k

[davidlloyd] 12/9/2007 09:06

A narrowed spread (currently only 2p) has in the past been a very strong buy signal. PDYOR of course.....

No ill effects for ILX
Aim-listed business education and training company ILX disappointed the market this year with a profit warning. In the event the company made £1.37m, below expectations, but it has picked up since, and analysts at Charles Stanley expect profits of £2m for the year to March 2008. Half-year figures in November should give a clearer picture, but in the meantime its chairman, chief executive and finance director have all been busy buying shares. ILX announced yesterday they had purchased shares on September 6, 7 and 10. They have been adding to their stakes again, buying another 6,000 each at 65p a share yesterday. They have each bought 16,000 shares since Thursday, and traders are taking this as a vote of confidence in the business. ILX was steady at 60p.

with a market cap of £12m thats a P/E of 6 - far too low, double that..

yep sure is, I suspect they want a decent amount but are being ripped off if they want it all in one go

nilip - perhaps the gesture is 'we are buying in unison as we intend to buy out the company in unison' - alternatively they may not be quoted sensible prices for e.g. 50k each so are buying into the consistant selling pressure for best price.

[nilip] 11/9/2007 15:11

3,333 shares ?

That's just a p*ss take.


A v. poor attempt by management at trying to make a decent gesture for the market.

[tsmith2] 11/9/2007 15:04

space - look at how much they hold already, the seem to be accumulating, the small trades are I suspect not to force the share price up too much as this seems to shoot up on little buying (vice versa). SO the small buying will let them get a decent number but they will have to be patient.

18k at 65p was probably more director buys. I would expect it to run nicely once they have stopped shopping - brokers earning their fees

[spaceparallax] 11/9/2007 14:29

I really can't understand these small Director Buys - they do receive an RNS, but anyone seriously considering investing here will look further than the headline.

yep, another 10k at 62p, and another 10k at 65p, encouraging - though still small

[tsmith2] 11/9/2007 13:11

more director buying...

[spaceparallax] 10/9/2007 10:08

Duss,

many thanks.

[tsmith2] 07/9/2007 07:59

its gunning for the 50day moving average around the 62.5p, if this is achieved then I fully expect a decent run. The recent double bottom and dirs buying have also made me bullish

[phuckerty] 06/9/2007 19:17

Hi
If it`s cheap enough for the directors then it`s cheap enough for me.
Regards

[waxinglyrical] 06/9/2007 16:23

3333 + 3333 + 3334 = 10000

[waxinglyrical] 06/9/2007 16:18

So, is that why the price was marked up first thing this morning? Now, if they had taken 10 times that amount each, that would be interesting. However, we shouldn't knock it - good on them.

[spaceparallax] 06/9/2007 16:03

Lo and behold - Director Buys, albeit diminutive and strange in number.

[dusseldorf] 06/9/2007 14:49

indeed, looks like someone had to dump a load of stock and was selling small chunks to market. Price reached an agreeable level for a new buyer and overhang was absorbed - the chart tends to indicate a cessation in selling pressure, which may coincide with a company update...

[spaceparallax] 06/9/2007 14:40

I'm completely at a loss to understand the recent share price movements.
