Rm Share Discussion Threads

Recent sell-off is by holders expecting a long still-stand before further advance. It (the advance) may come sooner than than they expected. These shares were good value at c. 600 p before the telecom/dotcom boom got going and will go there again after restructuring and focussing the business. The fly in the ointment is the BBC, but they will need customer care backup even if they are allowed to go ahead with their carpetbagging activities. They are not set up for customer support (or to provide professional e-learning some would say) - so who will provide it?

Director and Trust buys, not huge but presumably suggest some confidence for the future.

Any ideas whether this is going to be a short-term post results shake-out or a longer term downward drift. The statement suggests times are going to be tough for schools with fewer opportunities for RM. Views? - if any one is listening!

Questor says sell too - this gets better and better!

[blunderbuss] 27/5/2003 16:43

Results more or less what I expected, fairly encouraging. Note the 100K protected purchase indicated just before the close.

Results on Tuesday 27th. Any predictions?

[blunderbuss] 13/5/2003 20:02

I'm rather heartened by the IC sell, but time will tell. Lots of unclassified trades today - in the past this has often preceded action and price movement a few days later.

Took a look at the IC piece - just loved the heading "Shares in RM have climed 23% since we advised selling them at 90p (20 December 2002)".

Is the quality of their Sell advise this time as good as it was in Dec??

ic sell recommendation

[trader2] 09/5/2003 08:32

MM's shaking out weak holders - on back of point above? Or developing jitters about the Results. Some time yet 'till Interims on the 27th.

Guess it was the EVO take-profits advise that brought us down today on no selling. Interesting to see if it has any impact - or if RM. just gets pulled by the rising tech market.

this is a new holding acquired by the coal board pension. on announcement, price always drops for many companies it seems. over the last yr the institutions have been loading up on RM.

[pwcarnall] 06/5/2003 15:13

Obviously decrease mms started moving down on Tribal news and took flight after the rns

[trader2] 06/5/2003 14:32

Coal Pens Fund RNS today - anyone know if is means an increase/decrease in holding?

[pwcarnall] 06/5/2003 08:56

Level 2 looking strong -went long Friday on run up to results and the fact that Staffs has a big order in for replacement stuff in the new financial year

[bigbobjoylove] 05/5/2003 15:43

should do well next week with a resurgent nasdaq.These should never have dropped so much,they make plenty,have a big cash balance and pay a divi,there hardly a daft rated tech stock.

Breaking out into a huge gap !

[blunderbuss] 29/4/2003 20:32

As we are short of a thread relevant to the current situation here goes.

RM have doubled since september, they are at 20% of their peak price of '99-2000. They have a recently developed comittment to dividend. They are still v well placed in the edu-computing-web learning market.

Main bear point is the BBC and their web edu initiatives - public vs private sector.

On a level playing field I would always back the professionals.
