diku - how many miles are we away from 100p now?

[diku] 15/4/2010 16:18

How about a close of 99.9p?..

[diku] 15/4/2010 14:18

jeffian...No I don't watch every minute movement of this stock...and having been away from the screen for over 5 hours and still not hit 100p...one slow mover but happy to take divis!...Pubcos will outperform in 2012...currently basebuilding going on...

Hi jeffian

Like you I have a few PRM, just for old times sake.

I usually use historical p/e ratios and momentum charts to guide my investments.

I have done well by buying the oilers a few years ago. Burren and Paladin were taken over and I reinvested the proceeds into DANA (DNX) and Dragon (DGO). They did so well that i decided to buy a couple of smaller oilers Ithaca (IAE) and Serrico (SQZ) the former has tripled in less than four months.

I have had my share of dogs Torotrak (TRK) and Oxford Bio (OXB) being among them. Greatest mistake was buying Aero Inventory (AI) which went into bankruptcy.

I looked at Stagecoach when the share price was about 110p but passed it by.

We must have been at the same Proteome AGM some years ago where CJP said Sanofi may only pay PRM £1.

In any event I enjoy your posts and wish your investments well especially good old MARS.

Thanks,m. I think you've highlighted my investment 'expertise' before!

I'm a buy-and-hold merchant, me, so I don't really do "exciting". Because I worked in the sector, I tend to hold a wide range of brewer/pubco's and, even after the nightmares of the past couple of years, most of them are still well above water. Other than that, Cobham (COB) has done me quite well and Stagecoach (SGC) has been a star - I followed CEO Brian Souter in at 37p and wished I'd done it again when he bought another shedload last year around the 120's.

You?

jeffian

Have you purchased any exciting shares?

Vislink, Proteome Sciences and breweries, it's enough for an investor to want to top himself.

diku,
You seem to watch every minute movement of this stock. As a shareholder, I certainly have a hope and expectation that it will show me some decent growth over time, but do you really expect 'fireworks' from a regional brewer?

[diku] 15/4/2010 08:59

Ok...now only half a million miles to go!..

[diku] 14/4/2010 16:47

Still a million miles to 100p...though a new high intraday spike..

[diku] 12/4/2010 16:00

Is it going to be another closing high in the last half hour?...

[contrarian2investor] 12/4/2010 11:42

dasv,

Thanks for the chart much appreciated. I'll be holding for the summer, World Cup and beyond. The patient holders will be rewarded.

IMO £1 will become support before the end of the month given the recent increase in volumes.

think we may have a go at it today looking v strong and a good level to get in at!

[diku] 12/4/2010 10:24

158p sounds good...100p still looks million miles away!!...

[dasv] 12/4/2010 10:14

116p will activate 158p target on the daily p&f chart

[diku] 09/4/2010 16:41

Close above the flat line is a good sign...you can see my point of 2p feels like miles away!...

[mhw28865] 09/4/2010 14:48

2-1 on buys to sells today and we are still strugling to break 98p. It has got to go soon then i suppose we will be strugling at the £1 for a while then we will be away v quickly ;-)

[diku] 09/4/2010 14:11

Hope so...2p in MARS terms is a million miles away!...

[mhw28865] 09/4/2010 14:05

diku, If we get a decent finish to the day like yesterday we will not be far away.

[diku] 09/4/2010 08:52

If it was any other share trading around this level it would have hit 100p much sooner!...unlike MARS doing what it does best teasing below the 100p..

[diku] 08/4/2010 22:10

Possibly a gentle touch at 100p to take out stop losses..

[mhw28865] 08/4/2010 17:55

Just had a nose at the last 20 minutes of trading and there was a hell of a lot of buys leading up to close with a large UT trade 286k at 98p. Maybe there was another buy rec out late this afternoon . Looking forward to opening tomorrow ;-)

[mhw28865] 08/4/2010 17:28

thats a little more like it if we have a good day on the markets tomorrow could break through. Doing well over the water so you never know ;-)

[diku] 08/4/2010 17:21

Good come back intraday with finish at highs of the day...must have 100p written all over it now...No Advice Intended..

[mhw28865] 08/4/2010 14:42

With all the new buy recs at 1.20 i was hoping to have a go at breaking £1 today, no such luck ;-)

[diku] 08/4/2010 13:49

Wider market weakness is not helping here today...
