Added a wee few more in the Mrs SIPP, a mere 14k ish and it ticks up. Wonder what a few big buys would do 8-)

[scotsman2] 01/2/2007 14:52

I was planning to sell today! may as well hold now.

[spangle93] 01/2/2007 11:51

Thanks folks. Already in these as far as my risk tolerance in any one stock allows, so I'll have to leave the opportunities open to others

[masurenguy] 01/2/2007 11:48

I agree - buying opportunity ahead of results due on March 7th.

[cockneyrebel] 01/2/2007 11:35

doesn't take much to make ISD dip imo, probably a reasonable size delayed trade to show - creates good buying points tho, thankfully.

Liarspoker - from your L2 analysis, can you tell whether this is MM's short of stock, so dropping the price to get some ahead of the results, or MM's finding no interest in buying from punters at these levels, so dropping the price to try to attract some trade?

[liarspoker] 01/2/2007 11:15

Nice dip to add on before the results imo.

[spangle93] 01/2/2007 11:14

Huh? What brought that on? There don't appear to be many sells this morning? Fair spoiled my coffee break!

Interesting CW comment today - ISD is the sort of stock that would benefit if more investors start seeking greater value in AIM stocks this year.

Let the AIM renaissance begin
Wednesday 31 January 2007
By Tony Bonsignore, City Wire

After a difficult few years the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) could be set for a renaissance in 2007, specialist managers are predicting. The optimism comes after a torrid 2006 in which the FTSE AIM index rose by just 1.5%. This compared to a 30.2% rise in the FTSE 250 and a 16.8% increase in the FTSE All Share. Managers blame much of the underperformance on the index's heavy exposure to mineral, oil and mining stocks. However, some argue the poor run means valuations now look attractive.

Peter Webb, managing director of Unicorn Asset Management, said: 'If growth comes back into fashion then AIM will really start to take off. There are some rich pickings to be had.'

Patrick Evershed, manager of the New Star Select Opportunities fund , blames a deluge of new issues from poor companies in the wake of good performance from the market in 2003 and 2004 for depressing recent returns. 'We have perhaps now seen the bottom of the market, and the past few months has been encouraging. There is also greater choice in the AIM market, which is good for stock pickers,' he said. Evershed has positioned his portfolio defensively, as he remains concerned about overall debt levels in the UK. Current favoured sectors include biotech, where he is focused on companies that are believed to be close to signing distribution deals with the major pharmaceuticals. Investments include Oxford Biomedica and Plethora. Evershed also likes support service providers, especially those servicing the public sector. Investments in this area include Northgate Information Solutions .

Ben Yearsley, investment manager at Hargreaves Landsdown, said: 'The AIM index is such a mixed bag – there are a lot of small companies, and then a few giants like New Star. If you are looking to invest in AIM stocks, the key is to make sure you go with a good fund manager, like Giles Hargreave at Marlborough or Paul Mumford at Cavendish.'

I'm disappointed in you Hectorp - I mean as a true stock picker you should stay home to watch the ISD action not take a holiday to sunny weather where you can watch scantily clad ladies lay on the beach all day long !!

[hectorp] 30/1/2007 23:19

I'll miss the results, will be on vacation that week.

[cockneyrebel] 30/1/2007 22:03

Can't go up every day!

Must be due a rise again soon tho? Results just 5 weeks away.

q-u-i-e-t. !
shhh.

[liarspoker] 29/1/2007 13:56

Level II still 2 v 1.

[cambium] 29/1/2007 13:49

Quiet here 2day

[spangle93] 26/1/2007 11:34

That Level II position reported yesterday must have turned about face?

Moderate volume though

[cockneyrebel] 25/1/2007 14:31

Making nice steady new highs, expect the buying to get stronger the nearer the results get here imo. 40 days time, three weeks earlier than last year too :-)

CR

[liarspoker] 25/1/2007 11:13

Level II = 3 v 1

Must be strong delayed buys to show imo.

[matt9991] 25/1/2007 10:59

Looking good for it. :-D

[liarspoker] 25/1/2007 10:18

A move to a new high anyway matt imo. :O)

[matt9991] 25/1/2007 10:16

move up on no trades. next leg up soon?

[maximoney1] 23/1/2007 21:07

Many thanks once again CR. Several sources have pointed me is the same direction.

Cheers

didn't quite hit 1% but I have a few more than the FD's 500K he recently bought so not far off 1%, spread over my pension, wife's pension and portfolio.
