Anyone think this will revisit the 90p level,,,to much selling going on at the moment ?

[primrose] 08/5/2009 10:41

Looks overdone.. Inertia backs 120p..

Bit of broker comment:

"The IMS scheduled for May 13th was brought forward to today after management had the opportunity to review the group's results for April. Hungary has performed much worse than expected in 2009 to date and, at the worst extreme of guidance, is now on course to lose £15m for the current year (we had been expecting a profit of £15m). Coming so soon after the decision to put a line through the Russian pilot, this latest news – which had not been trailed in any previous announcements – will inevitably cast doubt on how robust the group's management control systems actually are. Reassurance that the Mexican operation is not yet seeing any adverse impact of the swine flu epidemic is already being questioned. Once lost, it is a long walk back to credibility."

A lot of the mid cap fundies were hot on IPF. With the closure of Russia and the Hungarian problems a few of them could bail and keep the share under pressure.

Tough to say what would be the price to get stuck in. 90p is the all time low.

[waxmelter] 08/5/2009 09:23

yep i agree

[quidzinn] 08/5/2009 09:15

worth a punt at these levels ?

Q

[bench2] 13/3/2009 12:21

Are there any contrarians willing to look at this at 94p . I wonder what the short position is ?

[bubbleandleek] 08/1/2009 11:38

going up with the broader market

[wad collector] 07/1/2009 16:58

Is the worst behind us now?

[hyper al] 07/11/2008 10:30

what's this doing, why a rise?

[simon gordon] 23/10/2008 11:11

Eastern Europe is their primary profit centre and it is been convulsed by the Hungarian meltdown. Mexico could be hit hard in a Global Depression. Weak £ should help increase earnings. So many Small & Mid Caps. share prices are melting - it is horrifically beautiful. Are you buying anything fruitloops?

[fruitloops101] 23/10/2008 10:59

This drop makes no sense to me. Doorstep lenders should do just fine in this sort of climate. Unless there's a worry that either they won't be able to borrow the money to lend, or else in face of complete meltdown there's a danger of a large proportion of their customers defaulting. I'm thinking particularly of Russia where the rule of law seems quite shaky at times. I think this share is a bargain at this price but I'm not buying in yet as I've got a feeling this nonsensical drop is far from over.

[simon gordon] 23/10/2008 10:53

If we are going into a Global Depression then it is probable that IPF could go under a quid.

[aughton 3] 20/10/2008 11:35

yes should be investigated complete manipulation imo

[waxmelter] 20/10/2008 09:28

any thoughts on todays drop?

[simon gordon] 16/10/2008 10:50

The markets are getting brutal. How low can it go?

[wad collector] 15/10/2008 21:13

The theory goes that IPF will thrive in a recession.That's the theory.Ah well , happy to hold.Unlikely to see 3 quid again for a very long time I suspect.

[simon gordon] 15/10/2008 12:06

What a fall from grace. Those fundies are getting rid of risk. I am not temepted to buy as I think we are going into a Global depression.

Good fortune!

[wad collector] 30/9/2008 21:41

Investors Chronicle tipped as a BUY at 281p last week citing its safety in Eastern Europe and Mexico.
As with most IC tips it has dropped 40p since then!
Curious how silent these sort of BBs are, in the middle of chaos elsewhere.I am happy to hold, this is not going bust.

[fruitloops101] 15/9/2008 08:47

Support area coming up...

[wad collector] 25/8/2008 23:15

Thanks , the Times ran a similar article last week about Provident.I suspect someone has been sending out some press releases.

[cnx] 23/8/2008 12:28

i found this in yesterdays international herald tribune

[wad collector] 05/8/2008 10:59

Bear in mind that the initial valuation ,as a split company , was a guess.You have to add back the other half of Provident to get a clearer idea of the last few yrs share price changes.
But looks a solid hold to me.

[arja] 03/8/2008 16:08

just noticed this stock. what a performer in this bear market!!

[wad collector] 01/8/2008 17:23

Not many financial equities have gone up in the last year.This is one of the few.
