Well done.

Amazed how many chase the spikes and ignore the dips.

Saw a guy on Bloomberg explain it well yesterday. He said we'd never go in a shop and buy a TV that had just doubled in price but we would when it had halved. The difference being we find it easy to confident of the value of a TV but not when it comes to shares.

Makes it fun tho - picked up a load of CDE recently in the weakness. They stateded they'd be back in profit in H1 and that was 5 months into H1 so they must have a good idea - but still punters have ignored it even tho it's a new board and directors have been buying. I reckon there's a lot of bargains out there and just a buyers strike at the moment bu tthat will all change as results get posted imo.

Dont forget CFE another of CRs dogs.

Dump em!

I would agree with you 100% BaShir on this one.

Anthing that has Wothington and Bentley involved in has to be a skeptical punt and for me I would not touch them with a barge pole.

Look at Bentley at BKE and Worthington supports this useless performance, but then that said COH is looking a bit doggy these days.

When do people put their money in such risky stocks, companies run by highly questionable people.

Heh Heh 100k at 3.3p 8-)

[cockneyrebel] 12/11/2007 13:26

LoL! Marked down to scare a few out imo Lord C. 50K just sold at a 3.5% premium to the bid - like they don't want stock lolol.

Desperate buyer before the results? Not you again Lord C.? :-)

CR

[cockneyrebel] 12/11/2007 11:33

A couple of 100K sells today Lord C. - you might get a top up chance :-)

CR

[cockneyrebel] 06/11/2007 16:29

MM's soaking up any sells Lord C.

4 weeks to results too :-)

CR

[cockneyrebel] 01/11/2007 12:03

A trade of 1.2m historic Lord C. Might be able to get that large chunk you wanted now :-) A rare opportunity - reckon someone will have taken some of those tho or the mm's have taken them to fill their position where they were short from all the buying at premiums of late.

Potential investors would do well to llok at soem of CR ramps particualry colliers and JQV which are slumping lately,

[cockneyrebel] 30/10/2007 11:07

Yep, I did, had over 1% of HRN too at one time, that should have read 1.3% above which my 2.1m represents.

I know HRN never got to 1.3% - I don't think ISD got to 1.3% - can't quite remember what they got to and to be honest Cambium, over 1% I recall. I can't care either now - not conviced by them still - are you?

CR

[cambium] 30/10/2007 10:24

I thought you held over 1% of ISD at one point CR?

[bigbigdave] 30/10/2007 10:14

Nibbled a few more on the dip 8-)

[cockneyrebel] 29/10/2007 20:10

yep, feels like that!

First time I've held over 1% of a co I think. Not so much sleepwalking to get the shares, more like trudging through treacle. Fortunately 6 months ago when I was acquiring the holding there was a fairly willing seller - no willing sellers in size anymore. As Lord C. says, John Lewis and Warm Welcome hold the bulk of the shares and anyone else that has acquired them seems to be hanging on to them like grim death cos you can't just buy back in once you've sold.

Are you sure that it's not like sleep walking and you wake up to find you dreamed your purchases?

[cockneyrebel] 29/10/2007 14:26

Yep, tough to buy in size - I do all my buying in these and APG when everyone is asleep.

Month to the results on both of them, hoping for a good couple of months :-)

Managed to get 75k at 0.05p discount 8-)
If it means adding in small bits then so be it.

[cockneyrebel] 29/10/2007 13:56

2 x 50K sells and not a flicker Lord C.- the buyer is still in the market scooping up.

CR

[ba5hir is back] 24/10/2007 10:55

it WILL COME. ITS HAD A TORRID 5 YEARS!

[lord c.] 23/10/2007 18:26

Well I hope investors take notice of your comments Ba5hir, a drop in price will do me nicely as I am exceedingly keen to accumulate.

[ba5hir is back] 23/10/2007 16:17

This stock has had a bad history and is overamped.

Poor balance sheet and the co is in a a very competitive arena.

Avoid before youn get burnt.
