Looks like £10 is for another day. Can't help but think that if and when it gets through it the sky really is the proverbial limit !

[cockneyrebel] 30/11/2011 11:59

bounced a bit to strong to fizzle out imo Wyle, it's there testing a tenner again today and doesn't want to give anything back imo. CR

[wylecoyote] 29/11/2011 20:53

Yes, but it looks like a double top....lets hope it doesn't fizzle out...

[cockneyrebel] 29/11/2011 11:15

Well your paper gain has increased today bluebelle :-) Testing the highs - nice. CR

[bluebelle] 28/11/2011 12:08

Thanks CR, but only on paper so far - one of my relatively few holds but I'm finding it very difficult to read these markets with any clarity or form a coherent long term strategy.

[cockneyrebel] 28/11/2011 12:03

I suspect you've done rather well here bluebelle - well done :-) Start of th next leg higher here? Tempted to add - can't ne many co's out there with sales and profit growth like these in this climate imo.

[billy_liar] 17/11/2011 16:46

Nice tick up at the end there.

[cockneyrebel] 16/11/2011 14:30

By the way, IMS statement for OXIG in Jan - I can't see how these won't be in big demand ahead of then. CR

[cockneyrebel] 16/11/2011 14:28

Quite similar co's in a way imo. CR

[chrisis33] 16/11/2011 12:54

Yep - wish i took more today. Bought JDG first thing this morning too. I was going to buy JDG ahead of the TU, so was a bit disappointed it came out today.

[cockneyrebel] 16/11/2011 12:42

Still going well - through that previous high and these will be off to £12 pretty swift - look at the past chart imo. CR

[cockneyrebel] 15/11/2011 14:51

Great response too in the share price for those in the Wide Awake Club first thing :-) Imagine if the market was half decent! :-) CR

[chrisis33] 15/11/2011 14:04

Also bought these this morning on news... cracking set of results.

[cockneyrebel] 15/11/2011 14:03

Looks like there's some positive broker comment about looking at today's performance too :-) CR

[cockneyrebel] 15/11/2011 14:01

Yes Bluebelle :-) The chart is lovely, several bowls played out on this one and the resistance line says £12 is a good potential test imo: free stock charts from www.advfn.com

Well, CR, you've finally taken the plunge here !!!

0906 GMT [Dow Jones] Liberum Capital upgrades Oxford Instruments (OXIG.LN) to buy from hold following the company's "impressive" 1H results. The balance sheet remains strong, with a 1H net cash position of GBP12 million. Liberum raises its FY net cash estimate to GBP16 million from GBP3 million. Notes management is confident of meeting medium-term targets, but Liberum suspects the targets can be exceeded. Says the stock trades on a '12 P/E of 13x and EV/EBIT of 9.8x, which appears full, but reflects strong ongoing improvement and exposure to structural growth in nanotechnology. Shares +8.6% at 915p, topping the FTSE 250 leader board. ------------------ I've gone to buy these in the past but the best I've ever seen them on is a PE of 17 - was amazed to catch these on a PE of 12 first thing. 27.4p dilute eps in H1 and they say H2 likely to be higher. I don't think they'd have said that had they not been pretty confident of it. 29p eps in H2 would be 56.4p eps for the year, 10% ahead an would nmean upgrades to the year ahead imo. Also I think if punters are makin a quick glance they will see eps lower than last year but the profits are up 30% maske by more shares in issue now imo. I'll be surprised if there isn't a few more positive broker comments this week. CR

have to say that I find the dividend dates a bit weird - need to be registered March 2012 (the same month as the year end), for an April 2012 payment

[wjccghcc] 15/11/2011 08:43

Agreed. Added a bunch more first thing.

[bluebelle] 15/11/2011 08:37

...other than that I still hold !!!

[bluebelle] 15/11/2011 08:37

Bluebelle - 10 Nov'11 - 15:30 - 170 of 177 edit Quality, long term stock but nothing is immune to this level of market uncertainty! Nothing to add !!!

[billy_liar] 15/11/2011 08:33

A growth stock that is growing in a global recession. One might have thought a premium was called for, so this is still ridiculously cheap.

[cockneyrebel] 15/11/2011 08:30

CEO just on Bloomberg - very confident. CR

[cockneyrebel] 15/11/2011 08:09

Great results imo - if H2 is stronger than H1 as they say then they look like doing around 60p eps imo - 10% above forecasts and around about what is forecast for next year imo. China going very well. CR
