And a new high!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buying ahead of results on Friday - & looking like a very wise thing to do.

The JDG story has only just begun & a lot more folk will become aware of this well run growth company after the expected excellent statement arrives in a few days.

Take a look at what "sudden" recognition of real quality has done to Xaar today - and JDG is a better, more diversified prospect.

Just to let you all know that David Cicurel will be presenting at an Aim investor event at FinnCap on Wednesday 17th April from 10am and at our Beckenham Mello on Monday 15th April.

Some large trades (By JDG standards)at the end of the session. Listed mostly as sells, but at the prices quoted I would have thought they are as likely to be buys. Perhaps we will see some more price action before the final results in about 3 weeks.

Good pullback entry point on the trendline here.



In the Feb issue SCSW gave the shares a buy rating and said: "The order book at the year-end was 11 weeks' sales and Judges said it expects 2013 to be another year of progress. We suspect the next acquisition will appear shortly to spike the shares towards £14."

In my sea of 30+ blues this morning, just one red: JDG. Still above resistance line I think so could be just end of year profit taking, can't find any solid reason. Any thoughts?

ORANGE

what have Techinvest said about JDG?

[orange1] 04/3/2013 15:36

Techinvest was published this weekend so could be the culprit.

[pugugly] 04/3/2013 13:11

A lot of small selling activity - Almost looks like stop losses being triggered or has a publication advised to take some profits ?

anyone seen anything ??

Alphabeta4

It is just a short update, but they suggest that an acquisition is likely shortly to spike the shares.

I suspect the sharp rise this morning was due to SCSW maintaining their buy recommendation, although I'm not surprised that they soon fell back. After such a stunning rise this year a bit of profit taking is to be expected.

[alphabeta4] 11/2/2013 18:08

Have you got some more detail Cornishman? That's quite a jump!

[geraldus] 10/2/2013 20:42

It might not get to £14,there could be a split. - lol.

[cornishman33] 10/2/2013 10:51

SCSW have revised there Royal Baby price target to £14. The £10 target was cleared with ease so let's hope this one will be as well.

Davidosh it's funny I've had / hold 3 of your 5 albeit as a relative newbie of just over a year wish I could boast some of your profits! Held Loq from 350, got idox in Nov at 41 and sold at 50.4 6 weeks later (should have held longer there and learnt from my mistake!) and here from 1040 couple of weeks back. Such a cliche but run your winners works, intend to be here a long time.
Anyone got any theories behind the rise today? Welcome but couldn't pick up on anything. In absence looks like a continued (deserved!) improved rating to peers.

I've only had them since August last year and been adding at every opportunity.
Long may this continue

3 years of loving it.

I am always on the lookout for another JDG like stock but they are a rare breed.


It is all about being in the right market or sector with the right product or service. That is fairly obvious but just look at the massive gulf between Elektron and Judges Scientific and three years ago you would have looked and thought they are doing the same things.

The 100% big difference is management and having the right people at the helm. Not just one director but usually a whole team helping a superb leader.

David Cicurel is an absolute legend in my eyes and those of many others who have met him. He knows how I feel and so do the other directors as I tell them and suggest others do the same. It builds a bond and they value shareholders and continue working exceptionally hard for us.

It is no coincidence that my five largest holdings have top notch management who all communicate and deliver well ahead of expectation and consistantly.

At LOQ I have a 60 bagger that has doubled in each of the last two years. At IDOX JDG and ESR it is much the same but only 4,10 and 4 baggers from first purchases. TFW is barely known by any investors but has been a very steady performer and nearly a third of the company is net cash. They all pay nice dividends too but TFW has only tripled in the last seven years or so.

All great British success stories and all except ESR have very significant overseas earnings too. I like to find them get to know the management, the board dynamics and the culture then just sit tight until they let me down or the research I did appears flawed.

I do get the odd one wrong, we all do.

Too true.The nearest I have found is Avingtrans in the aerospace sector but would appreciate others' ideas.

[cornishman33] 08/2/2013 13:16

Agree Davidosh, these have been my most consistent performer since my original purchase in 2009. They are now my biggest holding by a long way, but like you I see no real reason to sell while the company continues to deliver. I am always on the lookout for another JDG like stock but they are a rare breed.

[gucci] 08/2/2013 12:52

lets see 15!! before the baby!

[davidosh] 08/2/2013 12:49

cornishman33....so so true. I am in the same boat but it is a luxury cruise liner rather than lifeboat ! I feel there is another deal always just days away and after a while you just accept these guys know exactly what they are doing so leave your money with them. If delivering better returns than elsewhere.. why move any ? JDG has joined my ten bagger club now.

[janeann] 08/2/2013 12:41

judgeing by he small buys starting at 11.03 i assume these have been tipped somewhere...
