looks like we're on the way to 340p

[ramellous] 30/11/2005 12:27

The spread seems to be a lot narrower of late.

[shuisky] 25/11/2005 17:51

The stock is illiquid, a few people sold. Probably be back up again tomorrow. That's about it.

[oscarino] 25/11/2005 17:05

what happened today ?

[markycrispy] 27/10/2005 07:51

It has to be good value - I am expecting abreak of the £4 by CHristmas but a nice steady rise would do me.

[gswredland] 26/10/2005 17:50

well done marky..i also bought more at 350

[markycrispy] 26/10/2005 15:37

I think that is the short bottom. Just picked up some RTD this afternoon as the worm is turning there I feel.

[artful dodger] 26/10/2005 15:04

doubled my original stake and ,as usual with my winners, looking to buy more 'on the dips'

[shuisky] 26/10/2005 14:55

I'm guessing there is some T-10 and T-20 money that has been thrown at this. It looks like it is now unravelling. Could be a bit turbulent for a week or so, but I think markycrispy has just made a very smart move. DYOR etc etc

[markycrispy] 26/10/2005 14:14

managed to get only £4K on line at £3.365 - a bloody bargain that!

[shuisky] 26/10/2005 14:02

A host of small sells today, dragging the price downwards. I suspect these are weak holders who bought in as a 'punt' after it was bought by someone who writes for Sunday Times. It'll be good to get those guys flushed out.

The MTL Instruments Group plc

Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2005

MTL Instruments Group is recognised as a world leader in the development and
supply of Intrinsic Safety, Process Control and Surge Protection products aimed
at the process control and telecommunications industries. Many of the world's
safety-critical processes are monitored, controlled or protected by MTL products
and the Group is distinguished by its global network of sales and support
centres and by its acknowledged position as a thought leader in this high
technology marketplace.

MTL has recently developed solutions which enable process control systems to be
devolved from the control room onto the process plant itself giving benefits of
improved control integrity and cost savings. This has involved the combination
of the Group's four core technologies - Intrinsic Safety, Surge Protection,
Visualisation and Open Control Platforms.

driven by organic growth across all of our activities and initial contribution

Another positive step this morning after good recent results. Looks good fo 300p soon but could go higher if the stock is picked up by investors as it seems under researched

[artful dodger] 18/1/2005 23:07

time to put this one back on the BB

just check out the 2 year chart at the top of this thread.

beautiful.

should push to £3 soon enough

[greatbear] 22/11/2004 12:45

Well bought in this morning at 245, and they made the next guy (or lass) pay 255. This stock seems to be very tightly held.

Very quiet board for a stock that as been storming, and as a gas/oil angle.MM's are offering to sell 1000 but will buy 10,000. Says it all.

Looking to get in on Monday.

Target of £3.00

GB.

Good to see a director doubling up @ 231p - took rather a long time to declare it though!

AD - agree with you that a break through 230p could well presage a quick run to the £3 level; though would like to see such a break accompanied by volume. Though volume is not exactly a regular visitor for MTI.

[ianmacg] 12/10/2004 15:24

Lets hope UR right AD

[artful dodger] 11/10/2004 14:48

watch the chart -this is going to pop over 230p soon and it will move quickly

[tulk] 11/10/2004 03:24

... sorry wrong place.

[artful dodger] 15/9/2004 22:32

if we can break 230p this should moveup sharply

[tanky] 15/9/2004 22:28
