Great post churchtower.
The yield and growth projections should eventually attract a fresh wave of investors over the next six months. Which should then take the LRD price over £3.50p. c2i

We shall have to wait until March 3rd to get the full picture, but common sense indicates that Apple's record sales are going to be beneficially reflected within the announcement that day. The other two major UK suppliers of components are of course Arm Holdings and Imagination Technologies both popular glamour type stocks with corresponding weighty PE ratios. According to my IG market data facility today,Arm has a PE of 82.242 and 0.583% yield, Imagination has a PE of 258.529 and no yield whereas Laird has a PE of 23.243 and a yield of 3.821%. CH.

Not exactly a great performance given Apple is currently up 6.5%. Is this now running out of steam I ask myself. I was hoping for a little run back to 3.30, this now is unlikely till we get the run up to the dividend. As with all comments I hope I am wrong. Pm

Liberum have issued a BUY note to clients today in view of the Apple results. Chart looking increasingly bullish.

PM - As you now probably know Apple last night announced amazing iPhone sales with spectacular Q1 2015 results and 74.5 million sales posting a $18 billion profit, the largest in its history. Clearly I haven't yet grasped your sense of humour. Regards CH.

Good news, they will go down tomorrow you see.

On the plus side the IC in a article about as brief as the recent Laird statement has kept it's buy rating.

[werty5] 16/1/2015 10:41

Lol I have never shorted a share yet, just not my style.

[el chupacabra] 16/1/2015 10:35

you shorting dog werty!

[churchtower] 16/1/2015 10:18

No need to apologise. I would suggest that there is some manipulation going on for the value of the Company to be marked down this morning by 2% on such thin volume. CH.

[werty5] 16/1/2015 09:03

Thank you Church, you guys probably don't want to hear this but I would like this to go a little lower before I attempt a new entry 290 would be good. Sorry.

[churchtower] 16/1/2015 08:39

3450 shares traded and share price marked down 3.6. What are the MMs playing at ? Good point of entry ?

[churchtower] 16/1/2015 08:23

Thank you Wynmck. It was because of Post 1727 that I thought there might be a mention today, but I expect you are right. Regards CH.

[wynmck] 15/1/2015 13:26

see post 1727-don't think there'll be anything in the mag til results are out

[churchtower] 15/1/2015 12:21

May well be an Investors Chronicle Buy recommendation tomorrow. CH.

Werty5 - I was sorry to see you taken out by that somewhat dramatic drop, most unexpected and totally unjustified in my view. I tend to only use a stop/loss if I am not going to be available to monitor a share, particularly on days when an announcement is due. The statement albeit confident and encouraging was far too brief. Difficult to know when to come back in. The picture will become clearer once the present volatility has settled. I remain overweight and confident in the future of the Company and will certainly hold until the full year results on 3rd March when hopefully we will get a much more complete picture. Meanwhile the Company should very seriously consider issuing a further trading statement for the feelings we are expressing are without doubt felt by many loyal shareholders.
Regards CH.

It is a shame about the lacklustre nature of the recent statement causing the price to dip below what I consider is a strong resistance level. Laird should take a lesson from PIC about how to present a informative IMS. Think the price would be a whole different kettle of fish if they did. After being bounced out on my stop loss I am awaiting an attractive place to buy back in or to see if resistance breaks.
