Interesting that we have such a high bid - speaks volumes about the new found desirability.

[deanroberthunt] 18/7/2008 11:44

one can sell, should one want, 25k no problem at 36.75p....how quickly things change.

[spaceparallax] 18/7/2008 11:40

I agree, a really positive update; whilst this by no means guarantees the longer term, it is at least reassuring. I think perhaps the key is in the focus on 'hard skills' i.e. a core business necessity with overt benefits.

I'm just amazed at people selling this morning, although it might simply be based on cash call.

[deanroberthunt] 18/7/2008 06:41

decent yield for a small cap, eh.

[dusseldorf] 18/7/2008 06:40

would agree it's positive throughout the update - I doubt the market will bite too much but we're potentially looking at a divi next year of 2.5p/share IMO...

[deanroberthunt] 18/7/2008 06:16

What a beautiful update.......perfect in every respect, if they can continue in this vein through a difficult economic period...its blue skies all the way when it clears.

ILX spread has generally been mad.

[mudbath] 16/7/2008 10:35

The current ILX spread at 29-37 pence must surely be some kind of record.The price will look better should it close in to a more reasonable 34-37.I suppose the looming Ex Div date is distorting the present quote.

[spaceparallax] 16/7/2008 10:24

The most recent results were certainly very good. Much depends whether the current financial sector problems yield cost-cutting on training, or prudent expenditure to ensure that their staff are well trained and effective. Certainly the most recent outlook from ILX was positive, let's hope that it remains that way.

spaceparallax-I can wait;as it is an investment.If they can repay Barclays, from cash generation, over the next 2 years then their future should be assured.

[spaceparallax] 15/7/2008 15:40

Mud,

Indeed the figures do look brighter, although share price activity of the last 48hrs alone demonstrates the remaining volatility. Sadly, I suspect it'll be a long time until we really see true valuation of ILX - we have been plagued for several years by an overhang that dates back to when the original owner Kate Blackall was bought out.

[mudbath] 15/7/2008 15:20

Very much liked the look of ILX a few months ago @ circa 44pence.Let the negative sentiment surrounding the financial sector deter my purchasing any stock.Now revisiting with the benefit of results ++ a dividend due and they do look cheap.Keen on the cash generation as well.Just managed to buy 25000 at 33pence-so a bit of a result there.Look forward to seeing these rise,against the market,in the short/ medium term.

[spaceparallax] 15/7/2008 09:54

Not in its own right, but it could have caused a drop through a trigger level.

Anyway, looks like things have gone 180 since my last post.

[dusseldorf] 15/7/2008 08:51

spaceparallax - the last large sell is less than 0.65%, so not worthy of an RNS

[spaceparallax] 15/7/2008 08:30

Given that there have been very few Sells declared in recent days, I can only assume that today's share price dip marks another large Sell order being filled.

I'm surprised that we haven't had an RNS concerning the last one.

[spaceparallax] 10/7/2008 12:51

Duss,

I suspect that it was the driver behind the recent fall.

[orvil] 10/7/2008 11:55

I am sure it is a sell and probably clears the overhang.The 2 largish buys last night had no effect on the price and I think that finally filled the sell order.

[dusseldorf] 10/7/2008 11:16

spaceparallax - if that was a sell of 125,000 within the spread I'd be very suprised - more likely a worked buy IMO

..though perhaps a sell delayed from before recent price fall

[deanroberthunt] 10/7/2008 11:01

hopefully, thats it, eh Space

[spaceparallax] 10/7/2008 09:56

Interesting to find out the ID of the big seller logged today.

[dusseldorf] 09/7/2008 17:22

deanroberthunt - I think it's all about anticipated impact of banks and other clients of ILX spending less as a recession is predicted - am still holding but until new numbers come out I guess people are expecting revenue and profit to fall as an impact of reduced client spend

[deanroberthunt] 09/7/2008 17:11

EDD profit is similar to ILXs, they have an MCAP of £18m, ours is £5m????

[deanroberthunt] 09/7/2008 17:09

Shares don't go down in a straight line....except for ILX.
