Maybe the mid 120's IS the new support,having been a resistance previously.

Too difficult to play the game of timing, especially as they'll never give you any volumes once the price movement is clear. Just some games to minimise the t-trader profits - and that's easy on a small cap. While it was going to pull back after the initial rise, who knew where it would be and who knew that it wouldn't go higher had you sold? Not worth the risk of missing out.

Results at the end of the month - see header for four months' worth of revenue. And remember the UK banking net fee income that any headlines will focus on are a very small part of RWA income.

Well done to all those that made a quick profit, can't knock that.

Results out 29 August - 3 weeks time.

Ruane & Co. have a large stake as does Harris. Directors also buying. Last statement about recent 4 months of trading very positive. Looks to have bottomed out, but what do I know! Think the risk has been minimised what with the sector already been hammered.

All the best.

In this market a quick 20% profit in a few days and investors are out. It was inevitable.

Personally used this dip as a buying opportunity, the sector is in the limelight what with the MPI attention from Adecco. HAS, RGU, STHR all doing well. No reason why RWA should not follow being a quality stock IMHO.

Alot of people shaken out after the steep rise recently.

Did you know about this...their wholly owned subsidiary...

Maybe more that previous resistance of 125 or so might be new support, depending on close.

But still a very negative bias in the market these days - swift to fall back, rises are always grudging and difficult to maintain. Has sod-all to do with the valuation and fundamentals, but it's a long term game. Five quid within 5 years, unless they get taken out on the cheap.

Breakout - and these are on a far lower valuation than MPI imo, andthe directors have been buying.

160p easily realistic after MPI today. Expect recruitment stocks all to get broker upgrades

Bid for Michael Page, their nearest competitor:



Oh well, close but no cigar in terms of right sector, wrong company - demonstrates the astounding value at any rate, and any potential suitor for MPI would also consider RWA as well.

Also the recent fall suggests an attempt to clear out weak holders by those in the know. Transparency eh?

Moving up nicely.

3 v 1 on level II but only with 35 shares on the offer. Next buyer will have to pay 109.25p imo.

Looks like she's starting to bounce.

Interims at the end of this month with a 4.7% divi for the year.

Last trading statement was strong so looks like it's very cheap here.

All aboard. :O)

Bit extreme - distant stars and thousands of years ago - in RWA's case, NFI is 19% higher over the first 4 months than a year ago.

And it's a case of looking at company specifics. For whatever reason, this recruitment company is on under 4 times last year's earnings, the others are on typically 8-10, or 14 in the case of the never-heard-of it-before one in the above post.

Certainly in years gone by, the time to buy recruiters was in the middle of a downturn. Is it still? Have they learnt nothing in terms of diversification of income streams (temps, etc) and goegraphy, in terms of cost base management and structuring variable remuneration from what was only 5-6 years ago (unlike the last housing downturn that was 15 years ago)?

I don't know, and am sure that nobody else does yet. Best policy I think is to buy at what looks like the low but reserve funds to add lower if needs be. It may not go lower, and I've watched it go from 40p to over 400 once before and done nothing, I'm not going to do it again.

Wages in general have been increasing in Asia hence NFI increasing.

Remember the effects of economic problems take a while to filter through the system. The results you are seeing reflect the situation a year ago like a distant star who's light shows what happened thousands of years ago.
Key is next years' results.

You are already seeing weakening in outsourcing revenues from the Indians and inventory stockpiles from the Chinese. These will feed through into hiring freezes soon.

The time to buy recruiters is in the middle of the recession not at the beginning. They haven't even shed much of their cost base yet!

More recruitment company reporting - 24% profit rise.



A 24% profit rise does question whether the analysis is quite as straightforward as the Torygraph suggests.

And it might be right to avoid a £215m company which makes £23.8m pre-tax - around 13-14 times post-tax earnings.

But not one on under 4 times earnings.

RWA's strength lies in the fact that 40% of NFI comes from the Asia/Pacific region where NFI has been increasing by an average of around 30% ( compiled from data of various recruiters with a presence in the area ).

Exposure to the UK is 38% of NFI compared to say 32% of MPI & 59% of STHR. Europe accounts for 20% of group NFI so there should be a nice forex gain there in the short term. Europe NFI across the board has been increasing by about 40% on average.

The China entry should bode well for the future though as does Japan where RWA want to increase its staff by 70%.

Who knows - I thought that a couple of days ago. Thought about adding a fourth tranche but decided not to, went for BP instead. Not a great decision so far.

At these prices it doesn't really matter - £5 within 5 years, easily (quite probably BP as well - it has been £5 for the last 5 bloody years, oil price from $15 to almost $150 notwithstansing. But let's not go there now.)
