Over 2 million in buys after 16.30

Hi Veg - nice to see you, I hold these too - can't argue with that chart!

[veg man] 16/1/2007 10:13

Excellent chart,but when I see charts like this I always fear correction retracement or profit taking.Hopfully not in this case, and certainly no deramping implied.
Wonderful company 56th out of the top 100 best companies.

Was up to 477 at one point today. Would not be surprised to see close on 500 before end Jan, but this is more one to hold for long term imo
ps. look at the chart, top right. Have you ever seen a more perfect sight..

Michael Page Interna STOCKWATCH European recruitment firms under review at Goldman Sachs


LONDON (AFX) - Shares in European recruitment firms were under the spotlight
at Goldman Sachs this morning, with the broker positive on Michael Page PLC,
recommending the stock as 'buy', yet negative on Adecco SA and Vedior, both cut
to 'sell', dealers said.
The US broker also downgraded Randstad NV to 'neutral' from 'buy', trimming
its target price to 50 eur from 57.
Adecco suffered a downgrade to 'sell' from 'buy' as the stock was removed
from Goldman's pan-European buy list, with a revised target price of 75 sfr from
90.
Meanwhile, Vedior was lowered to 'sell' from 'neutral', with its price
target shifted to 14.50 eur from 17.25.
The broker's stock of choice was Michael Page, kept as a 'buy' with an
increased target price of 1,950 pence from 1,942.
The broker noted that European staffing markets have historically slowed in
the wake of a US downturn, and forecasts this will happen in 2007 following the
slump in 2006 as industrial labour demand in America eased.
However, in contrast to the US, a slowdown in volume is not expected to be
offset by wage rate growth -- driven up by a healthier professional temping
market -- as Europe's professional temping market is too small, the broker
noted.
Goldman Sachs said in a note published this morning that long-term growth
rates are likely to be slower than many expect. The broker believes the high-end
professional and clerical markets will prove the exception.
The US broker said Michael Page is an exception to the rule due to its high
exposure to high-end professional staffing business, while Adecco and Vedior are
highly exposed to industrial temping and therefore will find it difficult to
escape a slowing European market.
At 8.24 shares in Michael Page were up 1-1/4 pence at 450-3/4.

Well I gone long on the pull back...Goldman Sachs have a target of £1,950

4 bagger!

[theband] 08/1/2007 19:46

I cannot believe the great press coverage this had this morning and theres been no one here all day, the mind boggles.
The charts dont look so bad either

[pkw] 08/1/2007 08:12

Looking good indeed! £5 should be breached fairly quickly.

[pkw] 05/1/2007 12:12

Today appears to be just selling before results - personally, can't see reason for that; assuming last quarter's momentum has been maintained, then a further upward rating looks very likely.

Added today. We shall see if that was timely.

I think MPI will also find itself to be subject to a bid if it keeps performing so well: I would expect north of £6 for starters. We shall see.

[veg man] 31/12/2006 11:34

I thinks this one may retrace alittle,but never mind it would make a good entry point.

[pkw] 06/12/2006 09:03

The RSI is also saying that the upward path is set to continue - £5+ looking good.

[wcjan25] 21/11/2006 08:45

stop should have triggered yesterday first thing or this morning, but it hasn't (maybe advfn charts in error?)

interesting bounce now. if it takes out the reaction high, this is off to 500p

[rochdae] 16/11/2006 17:58

Bit of profit taking.

Yesterday's move was impressive, so no stop for me in this market until we see some sort of reversal.

[wcjan25] 16/11/2006 17:51

target is round about 500p

but stop at 418p looking in danger here

[rochdae] 15/11/2006 11:42

At the rate it's going £6 doesn't seem that far off.

[chippy2] 15/11/2006 09:47

Whats your target WC ?
