It's life Jim, but not as we know it :-)


If you look at the chart it's a series of curved humps all the way up. I think that big spike was the price getting ahead of itself but looks like we've plateaued here perhaps.

Not one for the adrenaline junkies is it :-)

Are we finally off again?

[xdavid] 14/9/2006 09:26

Gosh, where has the summer gone! Only 10 weeks till interims. Wonder if we will get more buybacks in two weeks time? 8th Oct 2003, 13th Oct 2004, 3rd Oct 2005...

[xdavid] 14/9/2006 09:17

Thanks, Rivaldo. The price might not be doing much recently but it doesn't stop MSI from continuing to move forward. Just a matter of time :)

For Global-MSI fans, a nice plug here - part of a long article:


"Building a brighter future
In a competitive market, investment in your site facilities is crucial. Clare Coleman reports
Published: 06 September, 2006

....Most modern forecourt shops are system-build structures, designed for flexibility and quick and cost-effective construction.

Global MSI is a specialist in the market - supplying BP, Esso and Shell company sites, as well as dealers. Managing director, Malcolm Froud, says their 'flat-pack-style' steel building systems are 15-20% cheaper than conventional construction. They also give a more consistent finish when being used across a site network. "We provide the customer with what we call a 'dry envelope' or the shell of a building," he explains. "It's a steel frame onto which go insulated panels."

The forecourt canopy is one of the first things you see from the road and can really make a design statement. Global MSI is also a major supplier in this field and says that most dealer sites stick with tried and tested flat-top styles. These start at around £13,000, going up to around £50,000 depending on the size, and can look very good with the right signage package.

The company also works on special one-offs - such as featured on this month's front cover - which is at Welcome Break's Hopwood services on the M42. Designs like these are usually engineered based on architectural drawings provided by the client. Such canopies - with curves, glass or glazing - come at a higher price. The company is currently working on a 'special' with a dealer in the North. Details are being kept under wraps, but the plan is for a 'very visually-striking' canopy and shop on the retailer's flagship site."

Morning Milesy

Well I'm very suprised, we seem to be stuck here, the question is for how much longer?

Mornin Stormy,

Seems to be sitting right on a 2006 support level...a break below would be a good opportunity for a top up as fundies appear unchanged/still attractive.

[rochdae] 31/8/2006 13:44

Been waiting for an opportunity to get into these. Today seemed like a good chance.

[jgscott] 29/8/2006 11:07

Cheers Cambium. I already hold ISD but will now take a look at the other two. A mate of mine told me to tke a look at TSE and FSG. Both look cheap but I will need to do a little more research.

[cambium] 29/8/2006 10:57

sola, isd, chns!!

[jgscott] 29/8/2006 10:52

You beat me to it Rivaldo. I was about to revisit the MSI fundies and remind everyone one of this little beauty. You have to be paient with this one but when it motors, it bloody motors. Far too cheap! Investors have just been getting bored here hence the reason for the price slipping back. I'm resisting temptation to top up though as I already have far too may of them... but it is getting very, very tempting!

I really need to find ome other cheap stocks to invest my pennie in.

Bargain time here again? Now on a historic P/E of just over 10 with record order books etc etc....oh gawd, just read the June results as a reminder:



"• All three operating divisions increased revenues and profitability
• Turnover £44.44m (2005 - £38.24m)
• Pre-tax profits £3.81m (2005 - £3.19m)
