Here we go again! Dropped back after last week's sharp rise, but moving up rapidly this morning. However on this occasion there might be an obvious explanation - a sharp increase in forecast EPS at STAF, which is also doing well today.

[spot1034] 07/6/2011 05:39

They aren't - however you can hold them in a SIPP.

Now, I wonder if we are going to hear anything this morning which explains yesterday's rise.

Dannyh, I'm not sure anything has changed, I think it's probably a mistake that your IPEL shares were in the ISA in the first place...I looked into this about a year ago and came to the conclusion that AIM and ISA were not bedfellows.

[stegrego] 06/6/2011 22:36

Correct non ISAable.

[dannnyh] 06/6/2011 22:35

Horace that is correct. I held some until last week when I got a letter telling me I had to sell them as they were no longer allowed to be held in my ISA, I wasn't sure what had actually changed ?

[horace678] 06/6/2011 22:31

I think I read somewhere that AIM shares couldn't be held in a Stock and Shares ISA...

[dannnyh] 06/6/2011 22:17

Hi guys, do any of you hold these in your ISA ?

Ashcroft typically sells off when he's reorganised a company and got the cash flowing in. I don't think he'll buy up the minority. He will eventually sell off and take the money so that he can buy into a new opportunity.

[mikeja] 06/6/2011 16:27

They should be totally debt free by now and bringing in £3m-£4m a month in cash.At £6 a share for the minority he could probably pay it off in 2 years.

[spot1034] 06/6/2011 16:16

I was wondering whether we were going to get an RNS saying they'd had an approach - it didn't come, but tomorrow is another day!

[mikeja] 06/6/2011 16:04

Couple of trades,one for 5000 at 340 and a bit over 15k at 369,total LSE vol just over 34k.Is there something coming..like taking out the minority?
Could be useful,have 150k of these.

[spot1034] 06/6/2011 14:32

It doesn't look as though many people have been buying though, and I can only see one trade of over 1000 shares. Is it traded on Plus? - I've given up trying to navigate the Plus Markets website since they changed it.

Maybe a big order being filled behind the scenes, but still a huge rise.

Edit - just found the info from Plus Markets - a handful of trades there too, maybe a few more than usual which isn't surprising given the rise, but all smallish numbers of shares - nothing exceptional.

[horace678] 06/6/2011 14:16

Yes, I wonder why...apart from people buying shares...

[hjfe] 06/6/2011 13:48

A good day for Ashcroft followers today - RST doing very nicely too.

[wylecoyote] 06/6/2011 12:07

Yes, but on very low volumes... I haven't seen any late trades either.

[horace678] 06/6/2011 10:25

People buying seems to be the most obvious answer.

[spot1034] 06/6/2011 10:16

..and up again. Something going on here?

[spot1034] 06/6/2011 09:28

Interesting mark up in the past hour.

[mikeja] 26/5/2011 16:27

AGM on 22nd June,should get update then

[mikeja] 10/5/2011 17:08

Trading update last year 8th June

[waterloo01] 04/4/2011 13:24

Finally sold out having made 1000%, just had to bank the profit for GCT. Best of luck to all still holding. Watch out for Ashcroft!

[bozzy_s] 30/3/2011 14:19

Very nice, banked 40% profit in a few weeks here. Good luck holders......

[hjfe] 30/3/2011 13:52

Dods is starting to do the same - also Ascroft & co. Something afoot here?

[stegrego] 30/3/2011 13:45

Bid or just rerating?

[bozzy_s] 29/3/2011 17:00

Decent run continues. Still cheap at historic P/E of 7 and minimal debt on balance sheet. Forward P/E of 5. Turnover next FY should be £1.2bn+ / net profit £30m vs market cap £150m.

I like the timing of this run too, as you'd expect some long term profit taking close to tax year-end.
