At 18.25p mid-price and the new shares in issue, by my calcs INSE has a market cap of just over £100m this morning.

UTW currently languishing at a little over 1/2 of that.

I tried several times today to get a firm quote at 18p to sell some more ahead of the new shares hitting the market tomorrow. Couldn't even get 25k away. So wait and see now whether profit-taking among those getting the conditional placing shares will take the share price down for a while.

RNS just out showing everything going smoothly, with the acquisition complete - and what should be good results out on 22nd August.

This is a full 8 days earlier than last year. Good news is usually quicker to come out...

Nice 78k buy at 19.13 reported late last night.

And some good news - the GMCC is the "largest chamber in the UK, with around 4,800 member businesses"....

Janet Thornton, CEO at Inspired Energy, a market leading energy advisory service based in Preston, was named as North West Woman of the Year Medium Business recognising her achievements for growing a business from scratch in a traditionally male dominated sector.



rivaldo. Thanks. The fact that they ''court'' the acquisitions for some period of time indicates to me a strict buying criteria and a refusal to pay over the odds. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Business develop over the next few years. It also appears the long term Seller is now hopefully totally cleared.

PJ1, many thanks for the report on your visit to INSE. It's great to hear re acquisitions that you expect "a number are very much on the horizon". And that you've repeatedly added to your holding post-visit and AGM.

I've taken some off the table at 18.8p there, partly for portfolio management purposes (INSE remains my biggest holding even after the sale) and partly because I fear there may be a bit of a rush to take profits when and if the conditional placing goes through next week.

Is it going to show the phenomenon of breaking out, retreating back to the break out level before breaking higher again? Its amazing how many times that happens.

I went to visit them last week at Kirkham in the North West. Amazingly it wasn't raining and the Sun actually appeared. Another phenomenon or a one-off?

I was a little worried when I first arrived and had to block in a Ferrari and Lamboughini with my Austin Allegro. Quite a contrast. I well remember the obnoxious CEO of ZZZ arriving at great speed and aplomb at Mello14 in a flamboyant Sports car. How much Shareholder funds did he send to Money heaven, with his almost annual Placings? However, I'm being unfair is my conclusion. Director remuneration is not excessive like many and is within the Sharesoc guidelines. So in this case I've concluded its none of my damned business what anyone spends their cash on.

I'd deliberately not searched the internet for any images of the premises etc and found the premises and surrounding area nothing like what I imagined. It must be very close to Kirkham town centre and I'd describe it as a small Industrial Park rather than a Business Park or ''technology centre''. The buildings are single story ex (manufacturing?)factory or similar. The buildings are functional rather than aesthetic. INSE control the majority of the site and I was shown around by Janet Thornton CEO. Some alterations were ongoing mainly to a new reception area complete with fish tank, and the internals have been altered by INSE to accommodate the (growing) staff levels. Offices don't really exist as its mainly open plan with viewable glass walled meeting rooms. It certainly seemed busy and to me, noisier than I expected with phone calls etc.
Reception was very courteous and a professional greeting. Staff facilities include a segregated staff 'Cafe' (along the lines you get at visitor centres-it certainly was not a canteen), a fully functioning gym with free weights, machines and boxing (3 professional boxers)and a beautician/ products. As expected Janet shows an enthusiasm for the Business second to none as have the other Directors I have met and companies I am invested in. Janet definitely knows the Business like the back of her hand and is extremely proud of the work force with a 'hands on' approach that she admits has been much harder recently as the Business has grown and the emphasis on acquisitions. Hence the recent appointment of a COO. It seems possible acquisitions are sleeping family type companies 'courted' for maybe a couple of years or so in anticipation of their exit plans. Id therefore fully expect a number are very much on the horizon (!!) or very much closer.

Unfortunately for me I am now long in the tooth enough to know that all Directors are Salespersons for their own Business (Ratners excluded!)and as PI's we need to well remember that. Having said that I was impressed with the BoD at the AGM and I couldn't help being further impressed by Janet and the Company on the tour. There seems to be a steely determination and I'd suspect fools are not suffered gladly (that's my re-invite gone then.)

There are never any guarantees in life and an acquisition (and organic) growth strategy raises obvious risks, I added to my holding after the AGM and I have added again since the site visit. Many thanks to Janet and the Company for allowing me to visit. Usual disclaimers apply. DYOR

p.s.
INSE have historical useage and payment history for new accounts. I therefore suspect the internet claims last year that INSE do not actually realise savings were either staff attrition issues and/or UTW fall-out. I believe the revised Broker update will not be published until the Horizon acq. completes

As the old saying goes, "A bull market climbs a wall of worry". The time to be really concerned is when nobody is talking about being worried..........

Considering how many worries there are in the economy, its surprising that the markets have stayed up. Normally worries are about the future and send the market down in advance. Conversely the market went up before actual recovery figures after the recession.

Brexit.
Jobless recovery.
Consumer recovery based on increasing debt.
Various disasters.
Trump.
Weak Conservative government and doubts about what they can get through generally.

I can't think of a time when there was a larger selection of worries.

Could it be that the bond market really has topped out, inflation is likely and therefore the markets are holding up because of that.

Seriously? Some "forecasters" and "analysts" have been suggesting an imminent correction pretty much since the markets started recovering following the financial crisis (i.e. since 2009). Sooner or later they will get it right, and certainly there seems to be a bit more concern around recently about valuations in the tech sector, but equally there seem to be plenty of bullish views as well.

CNBC is not a forecasting organisation is it? It is a market news organisation and provides a platform for forecasters, analysts (and even economists) to lay out their theses for the future, very often putting a bull and a bear on together to debate.

For example, Jeff Saut (chief investment strategist) of Raymond James is a long-time contributor to CNBC and last week was still pushing his "secular bull market with years left to run" theory.

On a general news level anyone worried about the down forecast of the DJIA and FTSE.
Robin Griffiths ECU says a real bump down is coming late this year followed by a return. CNBC are forecasting a correction.
Forecast site says FTSE will drop to 7000 in October hxxp://www.forecasts.org/ftse100.htm

Prospective PEG is one ration I follow very strongly and in the case of INSE this amounts to 0.57 which signifies the future prospects are very good which will push the share price much higher than where it is today. This is my opinion and not a recommendation so carry out your own DD before investing in this company.

Canaccord have now increased their forecasts to:

this year : 1.55p EPS, 0.5p dividend
next year : 1.81p EPS, 0.6p dividend

That's a current year P/E of only 11.2, dropping to 9.6 next year (when the divi yield will also be 3.45%).
