Good news, plus a chart break out as well !

[tuffbet] 23/2/2005 18:44

I have been stuck in the snow most of today so have not had the time to set out an analysis of todays results ,(see above)

For those who don't have the time or the inclination to look through all the figures but are interested in what the see and read in the info set out above I will post my findings tonight or tomorrow morning .

What I can say now is that this stock must be one of the best ways IMHO of obtaining a geared return if you have the view that 2005 will be anothrer year of good \strong global economic growth and want to back that judgement .

If you don't have such a view then read no further because you are probably looking at the wrong stock

[lydia] 14/1/2005 16:03

Typo, Are you still in? Looks like having a bash at the 189p reistance again.
I went back in at 183, could not resist.

[typo56] 06/1/2005 20:03

Oh dear, I have ended up long MPI, more through accident than design, having been filled @ 175.5 Bit risky that. Hope tomorrow's statement isn't too bad.

[lydia] 05/1/2005 21:14

No not now, took profits yesterday at 186, in hindsite ( and luck) a wise move,will be unpredictable with news today and the trading statement due out soon, could go either way. I am leaving alone for a while, looking for something else to have a go at.IMHO DYOR of course.

Regards

Well, thats two of us got faith in MPI ( 100% on the vote to recommend a buy (sentiment vote)Broke the resitance at 180, lets see if it will confirm that over the next few days.

[eastbourne1982] 04/11/2004 16:09

Looking good, I took some profits the other day at around £1.735p, just taken a few more at £1.76p, will let the rest ride with a limit order to sell if these drop below £1.7475p. Lovely trading share.

[eastbourne1982] 22/10/2004 13:14

In today at £1.6775p.

[chester] 05/10/2004 07:01

mmm. Nice Breakout.

[chester] 29/9/2004 14:49

Not a lot of interest in this one but I've gone long.

[techmark] 17/8/2004 19:38

Indeed, and if the stock is not going up on good news, then it's not going up.

Likely to go lower in my view, but then I'm short, so I would think that.

[salpara111] 16/8/2004 09:59

Well, despite the pretty decent results the market seems deeply unimpressed.

[techmark] 09/8/2004 09:44

I agree, I went short this morning at 176p on the December contract.

[moregas] 06/7/2004 14:57

entered last week.

[godwin2] 06/7/2004 11:30

A really good short after that statement
