At last' we're creeping back to the £2 mark. : )

Not boring at all.
For example:



I wouldn't mind one of these in a few years instead of limitations of current tv.

There _is_ no special relationship between the UK and the US. The special relationship is between the US and Israel, and has been since 1948...

Many British companies eg Midland Bank(now part of HSBC) have been stuffed in America.

I think it high risk to try to get into any country's defence industry.

Surely political considerations may affect decisions on orders.

The so called 'special relationship' may change in the future. Many would argue that Britain has gained nothing from this relationship which has cost us billions in supporting the war in Iraq.

A high risk/high reward share?

"Investing in the US is highly risky though"

why so? you mean just at the moment or generally?

[andysand] 23/5/2007 20:10

Hmm. The share itself is pretty boring but the company is not boring at all! I think we will certainly see some action after results if not before. The potential of the company seems to e un-noticed by the institutions..........so far.

Every letter should have one.

When our postie has a day off, or a holiday mail, seems to be scattered all over the district.

I had to ring our local sorting office again yesterday after getting two A4 sized letters for a completely different road.

Hope it does well for you.

Thay are also into 'nano-materials' and other things which may have huge potential.

Investing in the US is highly risky though and Carlyle Group seem to have banked huge profits before withdrawing. Perhaps others could shed more light on that.

Full Year Results next Thursday.

bought into Qinetiq today - not much, just £1k to begin with in my ISA (hopefully more to follow as funds become available).

not very comfortable buying into an arms company, but bought primarily because of the Omni-ID RFID chip - potential market could be very huge indeed!

I should fit my children with them.

Every parcel should have one....

I am looking for the divi to be twice the Interims plus prospects of divi growth.

I'd wait and see what the firm reports in its first full-year results later this month before deciding to sell, but then I only bought in a few days ago.

[blik] 18/5/2007 09:33

lets hope so... i'll be selling if we hit placing price, waited over a year for nothing.

[wad collector] 18/5/2007 09:32

Are we finally seeing an upward trend again?

[davy99] 15/5/2007 07:03

Lots of buys at end of day yesterday. Makes me wonder.

[wad collector] 14/5/2007 19:58

Why?
Mind you , contract announcements don't seem to move the share price much ;-(

[davy99] 14/5/2007 13:53

Are we expecting a large contract in the next 14 days?

[humbagash] 10/5/2007 22:50

Thanks for that Bob.
Regards.

[davy99] 10/5/2007 12:13

Might help if they spent a few pounds on releasing new contracts won on RNS's.

[bobcarolgees] 09/5/2007 18:56

Some are buying in...

[wad collector] 09/5/2007 14:26

I suppose part of the problem is that the profit aspect of these contracts remains invisible , and has yet to appear on any balance sheet.

[mw] 08/5/2007 16:21

More news....

"QinetiQ has competed and won a 16-month contract, valued at over £3.5m, for the Ministry of Defence's PECOC (Personal Equipment and Common Operational Clothing) Assessment Phase. QinetiQ and a team from the MOD will look to gain a better understanding of possible future requirements, looking at the complete range of fit-for-purpose clothing, load carriage and protective equipment, including helmets and body armour, across the armed services........"

It never fails to surprise me that, despite the unending flow of positive news, the share still enjoys a less than inspiring price history.
