mkt cap of goals 48M and 45M for PWR
like the three institutional investions with L&G the latest GOALs also attracted some big investors but they have directors with decent holdings
too what about pwr directors

going to have to read the prospectus now

[beaufort1] 31/5/2005 15:16

Hooray, another contributor to the thread! Well done chillhill - couldn't agree more!

[chill3hill] 31/5/2005 13:07

Could do with some more exposure here though, folks missing out on a double bagger at least.

[beaufort1] 28/5/2005 12:59

Well Chapman, you and I are talking to each other at the moment. Hardly anyone knows about this stock and yet it has jumped to 55p in two days. Just wait till the press and Shares Mag get hold of it. I predict it will be a Shares Mag Play of the Week some time this year, and then IC will tip it as a Buy when the share price is about 120p and ready to fall!!

Remember you read it here first.

Prospectus is a darn good read, made be glad I bought the shares> (OK I know I should have bought the shares after reading the prospectus, but if I had I would have had to pay 55p not 51.75!!

Shareholding disclosures reveal Artemis holds 9% and F&C hold 3%

[beaufort1] 27/5/2005 12:17

Yes share price is up to 54p ie 22.7% since float at 44p. I read the prospectus yesterday - available on co. website. It makes very impressive reading. They are looking to expand with an extra 11 sites over the next three years. It only costs them £1.2m to build a new centre. They are also buying some site from a Scottish competitor

[chapman123] 27/5/2005 10:37

plenty of buyers today too 5% up today will do

[chapman123] 26/5/2005 16:29

have seen the note from allnewissues will check out the prospectus thanks

[beaufort1] 26/5/2005 16:05

SP up 13.6% on Day 1

[beaufort1] 26/5/2005 15:34

Well spotted Chapman. Yes PWR looks like an excellent prospect. The prospectus is available on the website www.powerleagueplc.com. There is also a bullish Buy note by Monisha Varadan on Allnewissues.com.

There was a brief note on it in IC at the back end of April

PWR floated at 44p. It claims to be the largest operator of 5-a-side football pitches. Owns 26 sites and has 283 pitches. Site portfolio valued at £54.75.

Current market cap at 50p approx £42m. Evolution says anticipated profits to June 2005 £2.7m. Management team headed by Claude Littner, ex Spurs CEO.

Definitely one to buy and tuck away.

Nuclear has never survived without subsidy anywhere either of course. But yes - that very point you make was one I made (purely for mischief) at a meeting re our own local (controversial) hilltop windfarm, at which two spokespeople turned up in decidedly ungreen transport. (Not really knocking them for doing so - merely for their hypocritical pretence of green commitment which they preached so unconvincingly when it suited).

PS: Not going to pursue the pro-anti nuclear aspect with you on this thread JonC - we already know that we differ ;-)

[jonc] 06/10/2003 15:24

The vested interests that I am seeing in the Fens is that of Directors of wind power companies doing everything they can to build turbines for the subsidy and the big BMWs they get as Directors.

They spout on about green issues at their public meetings but drive to them in big cars.

They are interested ONLY in the subsidy.

[jonc] 03/10/2003 17:05

Let us have a new nuclear power program and stop messing about.

And of course the energy will have to be stored somewhere. I favour fuel cells for transport uses - could help explain why platinum is at a 23 year high :-)

[scripophilist] 03/10/2003 13:57

I have to travel to Paderborn a lot on business and when I stay in town my hotel room I get a great view of Paderborn and the countryside. Surrounding the town are masses of wind turbines. It's about time people gave up the NIMBY approach and started to embraced sensible power solutions. My kids love watching them and while they look alien to a lot of stuffed up British it's about time people woke up and smelt the coffee. While turbines are not perfect and not as efficient as other sources, they do seem a good option.

In 20 years time, 80% of UK gas will be imported (from dodgy places in central Asia too). With the end of nuclear power, oil already getting harder to find, and more competition from an industrialised China for energy, and environmental issues with coal, this means more renewables. Solar power on roof tiles will cut distribution risk, but offshore wind is the cheapest energy source. So guaranteed supplies at fixed prices will become a thing of the past. You'll be setting an acceptable price for each appliance: high for your freezer, low for your storage heater. The power will switch on and off to balance supply and demand.

UK will have to remove its self imposed electricity price controls if we want to avoid similar electricity "blackouts"

[johneee] 30/9/2003 08:25

Power production is stretched throughout Europe.
No real profits mean no one has replaced aging equipment.
The most Vulnerable is the UK.
phasing out the Nuclear Reactions by 2010 20% of Electricity with WindMill power at 2% leaves an 18% shortfall.
Thats even without increased usage each year of 3%

Doesn't take much working out that Blackouts are coming FAST.

Watch the month of December when all the Xmas trees are lit and a cold spell hits at the same time.

I work in Power Protection and Boy I am busy.....You Bet I am.

does anybody know whether the control systems are vulnerable to hackers? I had assumed that the control of such key infrastructure would be pretty secure but I'm beginning to wonder.

[m.t.glass] 30/9/2003 00:30

Excuses offered for the previous recent outages (plausible enough) is that throwing open the utilities to competition (in which governments themselves have chosen to legislate in favour of low prices for consumers) has led to cuts in fulltime maintenance crews and engineers - which not only increases risk of failure but also reduces the speed at which repair can be dealt with.
