Laird Share Discussion Threads

Having had time to fully digest the audio presentation on the Interim Results to Institutional Investors available on the Company website I have been sufficiently impressed with the ongoing prospects to buy in again this morning.

I would recommend that all present and intending investors take the time to listen/view this presentation. CH.

See that everyone is buying back in looking forward to take advantage of Lairds future prospects. The chart looks sweet with a Healthy RSI and the 20 day simple moving average pokeing its head above the 50 day moving average which also means chartists will be buying in. Looks like clear skys up to 215 - 220 when there could be some resistance.

bought 30000 shares today at 195p,had the stock 2 years ago at 105p and sold them ay160p,just looks to be very cheap if you look out 1 year time horizon,and getting very well paid on the dividend

Thought I called it wrong first thing when I bought twice again. Now very overweight but happy to hold for at least six months.

JP Morgan raises price target to 254 this morning. CH.

Good analogy churchtower

Get the short termers out of the way and make way for the longer term and dividend conscious is how I see it. Institutional investors will be only too happy to take whatever is sold for the dividend alone let alone the future growth. CH.

A long stream of big buyers gone through yet we are down?

[addison17] 01/8/2013 08:22

mmmmm mixed bag, but lots to look forward to (increase in R&D, new contracts etc), however still tempted to sell and invest in faster growth elsewhere.

The results are now history, the fact they have increased the divi by 20% bodes well for the second half

[churchtower] 01/8/2013 07:31

Werty5 - You echo my thoughts. The figures were much as expected and already flagged by the Company. However the confident outlook statement coupled with the excellent present and increasing dividend should counter this in my view. I am more than content to hold and buy further on any weakness. Regards - CH.

[danieldruff2] 01/8/2013 07:28

Stonking dividend now in prospect - I make it about 6.2%

[werty5] 01/8/2013 07:25

Thoughts on the IMS anyone? I think results still look bad compared with last year but if the market is forward looking like it is supposed to be the share could rise.

Good to see some buying day before results a good sign of confidence. I have included a chart showing the broken downward trend line that Churchtower mentioned in his post also showing a 20 day SMA and a 50 day SMA which although has not crossed yet is looking likely to do so soon.

redips2 - So much better to see it graphically, thank you. Regards - CH

[redips2] 31/7/2013 13:01

a picky of what ch said :)

[churchtower] 31/7/2013 12:52

This move breaks through the resistance line of the downward trend which commenced four months ago. Technical indicators also now looking positive - RSI, STOCH and MACD. Certainly more encouraging but tomorrow hopefully we will be more fully in the picture. CH

[yam114] 31/7/2013 11:23

Looking better.

[redips2] 31/7/2013 10:57

[addison17] 31/7/2013 09:06

Sp red this morning but a couple of Buys have gone through this morning. Slightly nervous of tomorrows results.

[werty5] 31/7/2013 08:45

Lets see if there is any buying in today or if Laird will slip under the radar towards the results tomorrow.

Thank you Contrarian - Rumours have it that Apple is now expected to start selling the iPhone 5S on 6 September. Leaked pictures suggest a second, cheaper model may be called iPhone C. Both handsets expected to launch with Apple's iOS 7 software.
