The 10% price rise today is great to look at but it will have a negative impact on my DRIP.

I got to say i was a bit nervous the other week. With the 1k + sales coming in on a daily basis i was beginning to think someone in the know was offloading. But after seeing the Divi increase last week i would have liked to top up but just didn't have a few hundred pounds to spare. Hae Ho.

Great work Jarvis / staff :)

180 and 150 are mine.It makes me a little uneasy why so few people trade good AIM companies.

[trewsa] 20/2/2014 15:54

Thank heavens,just did.

[trewsa] 20/2/2014 15:34

So does he recommend buying?

Simon Thompson (Investors Chronicle) has updated on JIM (access required):



"...An impressive 100 per cent conversation rate of operating cashflow to operating profits, combined with tight working capital management, resulted in a near trebling of the cash pile from £3.6m to £10.3m. Jarvis has a debt free balance sheet, so net funds now equate to almost 100p a share."

Thanks NickK1. I've changed the "Broker Views" link in the header to a quicker updating one.

W.H. Ireland have this morning raised their target price to £5.35 following these excellent results.

[bozzy_s] 20/2/2014 12:14

Isn't it £10m cash and £10m current liabilities? Net cash is more like £1m?

Edit:

Group Net Asset Value £3.6m = 33p per share.

Net Tangible Asset Value = £3m = 27p per share.

Current assets (inc £10m cash) minus current liabilities = £2.4m = 22p per share.

[dashton42] 20/2/2014 10:05

£10m of cash sloshing around on their balance sheet - wonder if they have anything in mind for this...?

[nickk1] 20/2/2014 07:14

Very good results. We'll done JIM. What a well run company this is. Great forecast for 2014 too. Worth at least 500p imho

j1mst3r, Thanks for your feedback and taking the time to question
.

[j1mst3r] 05/2/2014 19:56

I just get the impression that I'm kind of wasting his time.

Perhaps I'm just being sensitive; If anyone is interested, I can send a copy of the full texts.

[j1mst3r] 05/2/2014 19:42

(Continued)

His response to (1) and (2):

(1) Unfortunately system outages can happen for a variety of reasons ranging from hardware failure through to road repairers digging through power cables. Whilst there are robust controls and business continuity contingency procedures in place, and such instances are extremely rare, it would be naive of me to guarantee you 100% access to our trading platform as you demand. As I stated in my previous response, a non premium rate number is available to you as an alternative.

(2)Your statement regarding prices is also, I'm afraid, untrue. We are obliged to offer the touch prices or better, unless of course you are dealing outside of the 'market size.' Unless the dealers have to contact the market makers directly (should there be a 'fast market' and the market makers suspend their online price feeds etc), the prices they will execute orders at will be identical to those being quoted via the online platform as it is essentially the same system using the same price feeds – it is only the delivery channel that differs.


He then offered to move me to an alternative broker if I thought other brokers were more reliable.

[j1mst3r] 05/2/2014 19:35

Right, long story short:

I sent an e-mail addressing how their alternative phone dealing is not sufficient due to:

1. Reliability.
The fact that website is down, means everyone who deals online would need to call in to make a trade. As a result, the wait on the telephone can be very lengthy. This is provided my call is not automatically dropped after a few minutes, in which case I need to call again and re-join the queue. The only other option is to call your premium number for dealing.

2. Cost-effectiveness.
The bid/ask given by your telephone dealers have at times been very unattractive compared to using the online platform. I can think of at least one incidence where this has happened.

Then I basically asked for assurance in terms of how they will putting measures in to prevent further outages.

(TBC)

[tenapen] 05/2/2014 17:20

Thats a lot of sells so close to the results.

[tenapen] 01/2/2014 11:31

Many thanks for posting J1m. I would like to know who / if the 'third party provider' leases their software to anyone else and if so did they have issues with 'outages' !. The results are soon so i hope the company gives further information about the supplier and the reasons behind the problems.
