and another director quickly cashed in his 50,000 share options, to net a profit of £85k approx.

Although a good recent interim statement, a director cashing in options like this, does put me off.

Chart turning up, making a bowl.

I think this has more shagalongs to drip..hence i have a buy target of circa £1.80
This takes into account an element of risk/reward and shaggers rato.

Hope this helps

The share price is recovering, it's moved up strongly in the last 5 minutes probably because of the presentation they are doing, augurs well for the rest of day.

The hiring freeze in banking will mean forecasts for this year and next will get trimmed but MPI is less exposed than other recruiters, so I've just bought a few as it looks like the intraday price is turning up now.

Just a trade for me though.

Why the drop ?

[bobsidian] 15/8/2011 09:10

Astonishing share price collapse.

Noteworthy that the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the entire move up from the October 2008 low to the April 2011 high is at the share price of £3.18.

Amazing to see the speed with which share prices can fall to wipe out in days gains generated over many months.

Michael Page pre-tax profit up 243% to £72.2m

Encouraging enough.

Having maintained our business platform during the economic downturn and retained our experienced and talented people, the Group was well positioned to benefit from the economic recovery during 2010. The diversification of the Group, both geographically and by discipline, has proved advantageous as the recovery has developed. Through the utilisation of spare capacity, the Group's profitability has improved significantly. We have maintained a strong balance sheet and, while increasing the returns to shareholders, we have also continued to take a long-term approach by making significant investments in the future of the business, both during 2010 and at the start of 2011.

Following the launch of new businesses in Chile, Qatar, Malaysia and India, we now operate in 32 countries. With the increase in headcount of 949 during 2010 and a further 258 in the first 2 months of 2011, achievable because of the strength and depth of our management, we are well positioned to continue our growth.

Since the start of 2011 we have seen strong growth in our EMEA region, Australia and North America and steady growth in our UK business where market conditions remain tough but stable. We continue to achieve our highest rates of growth in our Asian and Latin American regions where we have market leading positions.

We will next update the market on our first quarter trading in an announcement on 11 April 2011.
