Thaks back marker it was advfn Id been looking at

[backmarker] 10/3/2008 13:02

dividend was raised to final 5.75 making 8.20 for year. the div quoted in advfn financials for mggt seem to be wrong.

mggt looks good, though the large increase in goodwill and the chunky non-current liabilities spoil the picture. imho they will certainly need to sweat the acquisitions to pull some of these numbers back to more comfortable levels.

[shillling] 10/3/2008 12:27

Yes it is quiet. they should be announecing what the divi will be soon :0)
expect it to be good with those results and the sale of that comp

seems a very quiet board, here. clearly MGGT is a serious stock for serious investors.

i've been holding since last july. if the markets weren't so jittery i would have been tempted to top up on these excellent results and forecast. anyway, i hope to be back in profit before too long.

still here:O)

[bigbertie] 21/2/2008 11:23

Don't get too lonely - I'm in too. I think the outlook is fine with long-term visibility of business on major aircraft programmes, and present weakness is partly due to delays on the A380 & 787, which will be only temporary. All IMHO of course - good luck.

[mr shilling] 21/2/2008 08:39

only me here

dose this trade on the NYSE and if so dose anyone know the EPIC

[watwungyi] 11/2/2008 14:29

bought in today at 260. not the best price of the day. oh well i shouldn't be too obsessed about getting the best price. as long as it's a reasonable investment, i think i shoudl be happy. sometimes you get very very good price, sometimes you don't.

[mr shilling] 11/2/2008 14:08

results soon

[foreverbull] 22/11/2007 13:32

Good trade Watwungyi. Is this bottom of MGGT, given big US exposure.

[watwungyi] 22/11/2007 12:48

Sold at 341. And bought again at 301.75p.

[hirani2] 31/10/2007 17:22

Where will this be by the year end.

[bigbertie] 23/10/2007 10:28

A bit of excitement this morning for a change.

[watwungyi] 17/8/2007 21:40

You may be lucky jez. I will definitely add if it goes below 280.
