It's taken me a while to get around to investigating the recently announced contract for two frigates for Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) from BAE Systems.

BAE News item - this month...


Detailed specs do not seem to be available yet, but note these extracts...
"The RMN currently operate two frigates built in the BAE Systems facility at Scotstoun in the 1990s... The [new] ships will be fitted with state-of-the-art systems that will be fully interoperable with the current RMN frigates."

Taking a look at the specs for the existing two ships...


...we can see...
"Two MSI 30 mm guns fire 0.36kg rounds to a range of 10km at a firing rate up to 650 rounds/min."

So although nothing certain, I would think that's another 4 gun systems for MSI. A few years off, probably, but its all ticks in the forward order book :-)

Chart still spot on its trend. The results peak was to be expected and in the current market could be a week or two before strength returns.

Down today primarily on just one 10k sell - typical MSI!

I'd assume that with the British Army stretched to the limit in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israeli evacuations etc MSI-Defence are going all-out at the moment - just look at the web site to see the broad range of services/equipment MSI provide.

Equally, Global-MSI and MSI Forks should be doing as well as ever without being impacted by anything happening at the moment - maybe energy/raw material prices, but so far MSI seem to be adept at passing increases on, or at any rate being completely unaffected to date.

Happy to keep holding as I have for a while now - the chart over the last 2 years says it all.

lol. did you buy 7,500 at 11.22 cr?

[cockneyrebel] 14/7/2006 11:23

As I was saying :-)

Net sells of 7.5K today. Rises just as fast on low volume too.

I've learned to put up with it over the last two years.

Well, hardly any sales says it all really. I have only been in this share for a few months (therefore showing at loss at the mo), but as CR says, it's thinly traded, and it only takes a few small trades to shift the price dramatically. Unfortunately, they are sells at the moment. No doubt some investors think that the escalation of the middle east conflict signals the end of the world. Or perhaps they are raising funds for the inevitable hike in petrol prices ;-)

Should the headline be "MSI - see your shares fall 50% in 2006? (MSI)"?

[gringostar] 06/7/2006 08:25

Oops wrong thread, this is care in the community!

[old china hand] 06/7/2006 08:16

They should get try to get a slice of the golf range action but not at the expense of the core business - after all, a birdie in the hand......

[valhamos] 05/7/2006 22:02

...which would be par for the course

[rivaldo] 05/7/2006 16:29

Or perhaps you mean your wood?

[peladon] 05/7/2006 16:28

..but not your balls?

[bigbigdave] 05/7/2006 16:26

The missus was only polishing my shaft last night..............

[derekr] 05/7/2006 16:24

Well, I would, but I don't think I could putt it any better.

[iandippie] 05/7/2006 16:21

anyone else care to chip in ?

[bigbigdave] 05/7/2006 16:09

yep, litterred with "bogeys"

[peladon] 05/7/2006 16:08

Yes that's a fairway to describe them.

[rivaldo] 05/7/2006 15:22

Ah, I wondered who'd be "eagle"-eyed enough to spot that.....

[cockneyrebel] 05/7/2006 15:15

"I believe someone (CR/xdavid?) pointed out earlier that the golf ranges were an extension of the forecourt business. Just shows how MSI management have their eye on the ball"

I hope that was intentional!

Could be a 'driver' for a whole new 'range' of revenue streams.
