anyone any thoughts on these?
I resisting a top up here but wonder if i'm missing something.

starting to look a bit better and a couple of funds have increased their holdings recently.

Have not done too well when compared with housebuilders but I get the impression this is a kitchen sink result - really need a bit of keynesian govt spending to get their markets going.

I will hold for now but look for a better statement in 2014 from the revised management team

Well said you guys, I too think this is a well run little co, I was happy to add this morning at £5.225 .

Well said & I could not agree more.

As an overhang from the days when I only had a small amount to invest I have never invested for dividend only but looked for capital growth. In this day & age capital retention is imperative & the board, to me, seem to have acted responsibly in this statement. Cash is King!

Whilst I have seen better financial statements the fundamentals, to me, seem to be in place for growth in the share price so I am in & staying in.

Hopefully, the loss of the superficial dividend investors will result in decreased volatility.

What fascinates me is that there are clearly investors out there who appear to have been surprised by the statement. What planet are they on? I'm just comforted that such a good company is being run thoughtfully and with grit and still offers a useful well-covered div. What with recent rises that are totally against the grain of life, it's rather reassuring to see a solid chunk of reality. I was beginning to wonder where I could sensibly invest but now the neurotics have fled, I can collect more MGNS.

I shall continue to hold and may also top up later when share price settles down.

[puffintickler] 19/2/2013 12:16

Not surprised by the fall in SP, even if fundamentals do not warrant the decline there is not much to excite in the short-term so the hot money leaves. It will return later though, so I will be topping up but not for a couple of months just in case the share price drifts lower (though I am not expecting this).

The Stever4545 post above seems to be a system bug of some sort, it has appeared on loads of threads and does not relate to MGNS.

All v quiet here after the figs---which could have been worse, but as already said, yield drop isn't helping---about 4ish I think.

Any thoughts?

[canteatvalue] 19/2/2013 08:03

Results not too bad, but I think the dividend cut isn't going to go down too well...

[uhound] 18/2/2013 13:43

[piedro] 18/2/2013 13:02

[uhound] 18/2/2013 09:08

[uhound] 12/2/2013 15:59

Does not seem to put off the buyers today?

A couple of good size trades gone through above 600 this afternoon.

[piedro] 12/2/2013 11:52

Any other news?

Amec appeal refused over £94m costs on submarine
jobAaron Morby
Tue 12th February | 7:45
Amec's legal battle to reduce the amount it must pay of a £93.6m cost overrun on a nuclear submarine jetty contract at Faslane has failed.
Now Amec and partners Morgan Sindall face a huge bill as they hammer out with the Ministry of Defence what proportion of cost overruns were properly incurred on the troubled project.
A costly legal battle has been running as both firms struggle to finish the Faslane SSN Berthing Project, first revealed in the Enquirer, more than four years late and at an expected final cost of £235.7m. .... ....

Serious transaction on Wed then. Franklin took 8% of the company off Aviva's hands. That should help to clear out any overhang

[jadeticl] 06/2/2013 12:34

Now over 600p so the recovery from the low of about 500p has been rapid. I bought more when they fell but had to pay 515p. These are a firm hold for me as long as the divi is held at 42p.

[barlick] 02/2/2013 19:02

Not a good week with a bit of recovery at the end.

Believe though that the sentiment is good overall.

History shows that the rsi consistently tops out at 80 on these and we are approaching this level. I am looking for an entry point here but this is the one thing that concerns me presently.
