in reply to post 40 , some individuals were granted some stock on placing -it is them that have sold some off .

It's been a four month wait but as I stated in September 05 " at 13.75p per share the stock was undervalued." At the time the potential profitablity figure, which was well scripted in the company accounts, was not factored in. I am of the opinion this stock has yet further to rise.

Boosted by director buying of course

[deadly] 16/1/2006 11:40

Anyone noticed the further rises in the last few days? Something's afoot.
I was recommended this stock before Christmas by my broker, who's not let me down so far.

Yes but for the past x years there has been absolutely no liquidity in this stock, primarily because it is held by a few institutions and not private punters with the result that there have been very few trades in this stock over the years. All of a sudden all we see are buys - who's selling small amounts of stock - I cant believe it would be the institutions as why would they be bothered with such small amounts

17% increase in turnover, 12% reduction in cost base and strong cash balance might have something to do with the rise!!!!

[thenamesbond] 30/12/2005 12:34

Anyone know what's going on here - we have had more trades in half a day than we have had all year - what's going on?

[thenamesbond] 15/12/2005 17:43

Some pretty big sales today - anyone with any ideas as to whats going on?

[thenamesbond] 07/11/2005 16:58

Announcement of a sizeable acquisition and the price takes a knock - not helped of course by the board valuing the shares at 13.5p, a substantial discount on market value!

The media focus on the savings gap makes Lighthouse look all the more attractive as the days go by.

The evidence is in the interim accounts, 17% increase in turnover to £15.1 million as a result of increasing turnover per adviser, 12% reduction in costs, strong cash position - £2.2 million in cash.

A robust balance sheet with cash and no debt, should start to make Lighthouse a natural home for the wise investor.

Cant agree that no big jump can be achieved. All may not be as it seems as the upside of this stock viz. economic UK personal savings gap factor, may see some retail/instutitional buying in the very near future. At 13.75p this stock is cheap.

As for economical with the truth, come on, which company does not spin a postitive side. Give some credit, Lighthouse have keep the ship afloat - no pun intended.

[thenamesbond] 28/9/2005 11:25

I dont disagree, although they have been a bit economical with the truth on cash as there has actually been a cash burn in the first 6 months of the year rather than cash generation. I cannot see any big jumps in share price as there is absolutely zero liquidity in this stock. Until there is some liquidity in this stock, this share is going nowhere

I gave you my views on 31 Aug'05 when you asked the basis of my earlier statement about this companies profitablity which you thought to be sweeping.

My statement was not so sweeping after all! as I said at the time at 13.75p per share the stock was undervalued.

The price was reflecting an out of favour stock but the profitablity figure, which was well scripted in the company accounts was not factored in. There was only one way this stock price could go and that was up. In other words it was a banker, which would give you an above average return on your investment.

However, maybe I am the oddball as it seems to me not many folk have the same outlook in stock picking as I do.

That being said, economic's have played a large part in the turnaround of this stocks fortunes and the trend looks set to continue, so still plenty of upside to this stock. The constant media focus on the UK personal savings gap is gradually
shifting individuals' focus towards providing for their financial future, which will lead to greater business volumes for Lighthouse financial advisers.

I am of the opinon that a fair value for this stock based on the financial results is around 20p.

[thenamesbond] 27/9/2005 20:09

Any views on these results anyone?

[innovation99] 07/9/2005 22:33

Interims -- this month either week ending 23 Sept or 30 Sept

[thenamesbond] 07/9/2005 13:36

Anyone know when the interims will be out?

[dtifa] 06/9/2005 21:11

Appears to be some inside information here

[trader2] 02/9/2005 09:24

Zero volume rally continues - indeed quickens!

[thenamesbond] 01/9/2005 09:08

Let's wait and see. Always happy to be proved wrong, but I'm not holding my breath

Sweeping statements on ADVFN BB, well there's a rarity!

LTG has never made a profit? Hmmm

In July 2004, LTG crossed into profitability at the EBITDA level and continued to record a surplus for each month thereafter in 2004. While the amounts concerned were not substantial, amounting in aggregate to £153,000 for the six month period, it was nonetheless the first time since its creation five years ago that LTG has reported profits on a sustained basis.

There are many reasons (research required) as to why the appearance of maiden profits at the EBITDA level in the second half of 2004 underscores the reason why LTG should see their cash profit turn into an accounting profit for 2005, however, I am not trying to plug this company, punters can and will do their own research.

Nonetheless, I have the right to an opinon, which is this share at 13.75p is undervalued, but I guess all will be revealed at the interims at the end of the month.

[thenamesbond] 31/8/2005 16:09

Innovation - on what basis are you able to make a sweeping statement. LTG has never made a profit (and nor has anyone else in this sector, it has always been a case of jam tomorrow which, surprise surprise, never materialises

[innovation99] 31/8/2005 15:54

If punters really did their homework - they would buy into LTG now before the shrewd investors move in. The writings on the wall, if anyone cared to look.

Not a shareholder -yet!

[trader2] 31/8/2005 15:45

Bounce - on zero volume! :-))
