If only the rest of my portfolio was as stable as good ol MSI.

Trades not all showing on ADVFN and MoneyA*M but there is noise elsewhere. I picked the first three buys up yesterday all online. Indeed I was able to buy the 5k via TDWaterhouse when Squaregain only showed 1250 available. Usually the other way around.

Useful having more than one account as it is possible to buy two lots at the same price (market size permitting) and equally offload two lots at the same time - particularly useful when the price goes down and I need to get out in a bit of a hurry. Only trouble with MSI is it is so illiquid.

BBD - Squaregain let you know the online market size in advance - just use the "Limit" buy to do a dummy trade.

Keep trying JG
Managed to buy 2 more lots today with Squaregain.
Just keep hitting the button until the red limit message disappears.

[onlyonestorm] 16/6/2006 08:30

This looks good news too from today's Times:

"Warship marks naval rebirth

The first warship to be built in Portsmouth naval base for nearly 40 years was launched yesterday. The £80 million offshore patrol vessel, HMS Clyde, marked the renaissance of shipbuilding at the base. The last ship launched at the naval base was the frigate, HMS Andromeda, in 1967.

Final fitting out of the 1,300-tonne ship, built by Vosper Thornycroft, will take place over the next three months, and it is due to be on patrol in the South Atlantic by next summer."

VT are of course MSI's partner for fitting out of gun systems, so I'd say there's a high probability that this is more work for MSI.

[xdavid] 15/6/2006 13:02

Well, if it's not tomorrow then I reckon it will be next week... or maybe the week after...
;-)

[gswredland] 15/6/2006 12:58

Any guesses as to the date they will report?
Heading back to all time high here.

This is what Severfield Rowan said today:

"All operating companies are performing ahead of their budgets as a result of a good mix of contracts going through the production facilities, increased usage of capacity and enhanced buying power through our joint venture Steel UK. Our order book has grown to a record £230 million and the industry continues to experience robust enquiry levels."


Read that last bit: "the industry continues to experience robust enquiry levels."

Petrol Station Canopies, Pre-fabricared Buildings like all Esso's 'On the Runs' throughout Europe plus other buildings.

Fork lift forks - how much is bing shipped? Loads of stuff, the world is booming, that has to be lifted off ships and lorries.

Gun Barrels - huge orders picked up this year!

MSI firing on all barrels imo.

[gswredland] 15/6/2006 12:43

Yes this looks so good.Just a matter of waiting for results now.

[rivaldo] 15/6/2006 12:27

LOL!

Results in the next 2 weeks are looming large - now's the time to get in for those interested. Note again the lack of any warnings, the buying in of shares by the company and the director buying, plus the P/E as flagged by CR above....

[iandippie] 15/6/2006 12:24

Wow. Im allowed to buy all of 100 shares online now. A whole £168 pounds worth.

[xdavid] 15/6/2006 11:48

Wow! A buy of 6 shares (c. £10) ups the price by 2% - MMs must be short!

MM'S know they are going to get crucified at some point I think - reckon they raised yesterday on no trades cos they knew the SFR trading statement was coming.

Question, who's annual earning growth goes 1.8p, 4.2p, 10.8p, (7.7p in H1) ?

And I'd hazzard a guess that you can't find that sort of consistent growth anywhere else on the LSE.

Then when you think about the forward PE - 7? less?
