A bit of buying interest in RCC this morning ahead of Tuesday's figures has nudged them up 5%.
Felt it worth a go on back of recent strong statements and high yield making it fairly safe bet.

[chapman123] 10/6/2001 22:32

can anyone beat this one ?

[salar] 31/5/2001 18:24

By my calculations this will give an overall yield for this year of over 12%, based on the estimated divi plus the special - and this from a growth company with an excellent 5 yr trading history which has also confirmed current trading is bouyant.

Efficient market my a*se!

buyers return good value still watching for weeakness

[chapman123] 16/5/2001 13:32

not sure why falling back over last few days or why there are sellers results due july will be 20p again then ?

[salar] 11/4/2001 23:07

It seems to me that the forecasts given by BD for this Co. are far too low.

They have already booked 0.85p for the first half, yet the full year forecast (in itself an upgrade made after the interims) is only 1.5p. Seems unlikely the second half will show earnings of a mere 0.65p given the excellent trading climate at present.

Next years forecast - 1.6p - looks almost ludicrously low, and in fact looks as though it could be beaten THIS year.

It may be that differing tax rates or new share issues could account for some of this apparent discrepancy, but I still feel the forecasts are too modest - all the more reason to view the shares as very undervalued.

Divi for this year should be 1.10p - not far off 8% yield at todays price...

Absolutely right; a fantastic little co. I sold out at 19.5p and have just got on board again at 14.25p. Cash rich - no debt; sources abroad thru cheap euroland; unbroken profit record; great product and market has virtually NO stock. Will go through previous high by mid summer. Great yield and little risk - range cookers go very well with a strong housing market! Buy more.

Did you check out AON from my 22/2 post? Moved up 12p since but assets still worth three times market cap. Check it out.

[chapman123] 11/4/2001 16:11

Range cookers buying opportunity again results due july will buy if they fall any further also expect divi to be raise perhaps to 1p ?

[salar] 06/4/2001 12:30

RCC have fallen with the general downturn over recent weeks and are now back to a yield of 7%.

This is better than the rate offered by the best internet bank at present, and IMO capital growth of 30-50% is possible on a 6-12 mth view, with very minimal downside risk.

Views welcomed.

[hupper] 06/4/2001 01:22

I'll go for HDT Holders Technology, strong div, great growth and backed by peter webb

[py] 27/3/2001 23:51

What about Theratase [THE]? Profitable small pharma, deals are in place with US co's, highly upbeat chairman(?)'s statement forecasting significant further profit growth (as I remember). I haven't bought into it yet because it looks suspiciously good, so I must be missing something. Putdowns with solid reasoning will be gratefully received!

As an aside, I have sat on very-high-PE small companies for ages before selling them in despair after the price hadn't shift in two years ... example Gibbs & Dandy (some while ago). Before buying a tempting-looking tiddler, check to see whether there are two classes of ordinary shares - if so, it's usually bad news. Typically in this case, the original owners hold a majority of the voting shares and stifle both development and takeover possibilities.

How about MSB [MSB]? Currently around 90p, been as high as 400p a year-odd ago, historical EPS around 24p & likewise divi ~12.5p I think; the company's pension fund bought a further chunk of its shares in December 2000. If you're going to consider it, the prelim. results are out (I think) next Tuesday, 3rd April so you'll have to act fast. I own a few and may buy a few more, but I am NOT making any recommendations. Again, any downside info gratefully received.

[mad_ideas] 27/3/2001 19:43

does anyone invest in any of the small cap funds? What they are doing is useful info - irrespective of whether you think "the big investors" have much idea of what is going on beyond perception...

[chapman123] 19/3/2001 21:54

safe as houses will be buyinmg again if gets close to 15p only rise when
results out then fall back reached 20p this time next time 25p ? watching brief

[philjeans] 24/2/2001 17:54

Three come to mind;

Pittards - results out next week. Chart looks fantastic and one mystery overseas shareholder has accumulated 18% of stock in last few months. Figures will be good and fundementals are very strong for this one.

Environmental Polymer - 80p on hype last year; rights issue at 15p and now ticking back up to 24p. Potential for green packaging is enormous and they have world class technology and patents for unique process.

Albion - 60p and with a splendid yield; assets 3 times capitalisation; an intriguing shareholder register and now all manufacturing offshore for low overheads and better margins. Absolutely rock solid and due for a bounce.

Check 'em all out; they are diamonds in a crock of whatsit!

[mad_ideas] 24/2/2001 17:19

have a look at ATV. I have not invested yet... still researching

[chapman123] 24/2/2001 15:02

i have new look but it need some 'really' good news to get it moving in the mean time best look forward to the results and the 4-5p divi

[glennborthwick] 24/2/2001 14:54

My favourite is New Look. PE below 5 , still growing at 10 per cent, excellent yield, set to benefit from more postiive retail environment, possible management buyout.

[chapman123] 24/2/2001 14:37

you could have made 50% on this one still the best around in my book
