Yep, sitting on the base of the uptrend channel from October 2015.
That trend channel is compounding at about 40%pa from 2015 (capital excl. income).

Nice intraday reversal there! Ex-divi next week too! Lovely.

I did notice the highly regarded Mike Phillips moving to director of M & A.Does that mean more acquisitions coming down the road?

[woodhawk] 11/1/2018 11:30

Oh btw, isn't it ex-dividend in a week's time? Another few pennies for the pot.

The traits of montybilge, our resident very stable genius, are very similar to that of that other very stable genius, Trump: moronic, insecure, attention seeking, forever switching positions, unwilling to listen to others, boasting about his perceived achievements, lying, argumentative, assuming the victim role etc. etc.

I'm sure, when these were 1275p I said one day these would be 2500p and in the FTSE 100, of course mocked by other posters, but hey guess what happened.

[woodhawk] 11/1/2018 11:05

I'm sure that will be as accurate as all your other predictions, Monty!

[montyhedge] 11/1/2018 10:47

Looking at a chart 2050p my estimate.

Oh dear - looks like Phillis and Orange1 were right about you MH. I only wish I hadn't wasted my valuable time trying to educate you. Ah well, L&L as they say...

I'm more of a trader than investor, been in and out of Micro more times than you had hot dinners.P.e 31 I think these may come off.

[ilovefrogs] 11/1/2018 09:53

Mh - WTF are you talking about. You've said earlier that you have a price target below £20, yet you are still holding the stock?? How does that logic work?

[montyhedge] 11/1/2018 09:36

Sogosit Thanks your the sensible one on here, I may reduce after the dividend. Then reinvest if they go lower.

It's not really that hard folks. the question is what do you think the most relevant eps is, Basic or adjusted - I (like 100%) think it's the latter. Both numbers are published in the R&A, so once you've decided which one is relevant, the PE is then a simple calc.

[ilovefrogs] 10/1/2018 16:17

...and what is your forward PE projection Ugandalad? (BTW we have been debating current AND forward PE ratios)

[ilovefrogs] 10/1/2018 16:08

Not all sites get it completely wrong:

[ugandalad] 10/1/2018 16:01

This is becoming boring as the size of the takeover/amalgamation and the impact of only two months of total earnings means historic P/E ratios have little interest to me. I’m staying in on the assumption my forward pe projection will be reasonably accurate and give hope for an upgrade.

[montyhedge] 10/1/2018 15:13

Sogoesit
Settled a dispute, I say p.e 31 with a lower eps, another poster says 16.
What is it?

[phillis] 10/1/2018 13:39

Nice to see buying by PDMRs
