Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of this company and have a reasonably substantial holding but am I alone in feeling slightly irked that every time I click on a new RNS it seems to involve them issuing shedloads of new shares to themselves or pocketing the proceeds?

This looks like nice work if you can get it -

I do so love contributors with such an elegant use of the English language.

"Usual punter rush". What the hell does that mean. It's astonishing that people have time or the inclination to post such rubbish.

usual punter rush

[johndoe23] 21/11/2019 12:10

Breakout above range of 115.8p possibly?!

[aimingupward2] 21/11/2019 10:35

Two substantial 25,000 shares buys have gone through in the last few minutes. Somebody really wants these!

[blackfoxtrading] 15/11/2019 09:17

Any reason why no trades are shown today?

[aimingupward2] 12/11/2019 17:38

Fair enough. I will also concede that LTG is no higher than it was a year ago, but it's certainly making up for lost time now. Perhaps another 20% to go by the time a January trading statement is issued - or sooner if another good looking acquisition comes along.

[cyberian] 12/11/2019 16:49

Yes OK...but have held for 4/5 years and very happy..raging ahead a bit over-stated I admit but still good progress this year.

[aimingupward2] 12/11/2019 16:44

RWS don't look to me as though they are 'raging ahead',cyberian. The share price there doesn't seem to be able to stay above 600p, which is where it was 6 months ago. In a little over the same period LTG has risen about 80%.

[cyberian] 12/11/2019 16:28

Maybe someone has leaked something positive (naughty if they have but very difficult to suppress these days), but then we have see the share price up at 140p and the brokers still seem quite favourable, even at that level. The other similar company (RWS ) where there has been a management connection, are still raging ahead, but then they have a very good model...hopefully that will happen here as well.

[epicsurf] 12/11/2019 16:09

60,000 buy just gone thru as well

[cyberian] 12/11/2019 14:51

Seems something is afoot with large delayed "o" trades going through today...that 150,000 was rather big...but hey who knows!

[epicsurf] 12/11/2019 14:42

Hopefully it will continue to rise
Always intrigues me when a share starts to move without known news

[cyberian] 12/11/2019 14:02

Quite strong today...I wonder if a further acquisition is in the near term pipe-line?

[yump] 27/10/2019 12:26

I guess so.

Had a word with an auditor I use and the probable explanation for the continued high levels of payables, is that the payments on account made in one year, will probably have been deducted from the next year's payables, except you can't see that happening because the next year's payables are bumped up again by new payables. Which probably means most of their payments derive from long term contracts.

ie. no worries.
The only comment I got was that it nevertheless did seem an unusual proportion of revenue to be running through payments on account, but without actually seeing the detail and knowing the business, he couldn't comment further.

[wjccghcc] 26/10/2019 21:24

Payments received on account is what they used to call deferred income (i.e. annual software payments made in advance and subsequently taken to revenue over the next 12 months). Does one of the new accounting standards change the name?

[toffeeman] 24/10/2019 12:11

Spot on Bb!

[blackbogger] 24/10/2019 12:01

Yump,

To be fair Chris suggests it may be Christmas before the year ends.

That's a pretty accurate prediction. Better than the other stuff he's been coming up with.

[jockthescot] 23/10/2019 23:54

Dropping sub £1?

[yump] 23/10/2019 17:54

Well I think its fully valued on adjusted eps, never mind reported.

So that's two opinions backed up by nothing much.

[christh] 23/10/2019 14:22

In my opinion the price bottomed and should see a rise as the price jumped up yesterday
Very undervalued
Expecting to 165p-180p but maybe Xmas when the year ends

[yump] 23/10/2019 13:18

Yes, I though Phillis might confirm that note 9 is saying that a big proportion of the payables, has been paid on account. So they are not actually payable out of the business any more, but the amounts paid on account are not subtracted from payables, because they have not been invoiced by the supplier. So they can't be part of the official accounts.
