Nearing a breakout. Just announce the bid, give me my £2+ a share and lets move on :-) CR

FI, good call - seems potentially to be establishing a tight trading range (135-150) with a move up to 170 possible... will keep an eye on it free stock charts from www.advfn.com

Diverging somewhat from MPI - interesting. MPI update due next Tuesday - won't be good, so that impact on RWA could indicate something more interesting. http://www.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=38489359&epic=MPI

From last management report... The Group's balance sheet and cash position remain strong - our strategy is to manage the current downturn as effectively as possible, whilst preserving the breadth of disciplines and geographic coverage to enable the Group to take full advantage when the market recovers'.

First piece of positive news Ive seen from a broker on RWA for a long long time so things must be looking up at last even though its a hold. Note out late yesterday.

It will :-) Chart on the next leg up imo. 170p has to be the target on that chart imo. CR

[cockneyrebel] 23/6/2009 11:39

right on the buy line on the chart imo. CR

[gswredland] 19/6/2009 18:03

Unemployment nunbers much better than expected today, employment cycle about to turn positive in th ecoming months imo. Good for recruiter. CR

After three previous attempts failed at 130, and now it breaks through, I would think just a lack of sellers, and possibly some short stops set just above 130. On rare occasions, supply and demand (for shares) really does work... :-) Still suspect some negative movement if MPI report negatively. And I'll be nosing around... Depressing re-reading from my point of view: imastu pidgitaswell - 6 Mar'09 - 11:23 - 451 of 469 edit It's not as if they have any debts - they have net cash of over £22m. Those were, in fact, fantastic results in terms of cash and assets. In terms of profits and earnings, sadly they're irrelevant, as this year has started with a 21% decline in revenue for the first two months. What does that translate into in terms of profits? They don't say, but it's not going to be good - probably loss-making, hence the share price weakness. Anyway, at 85p, they have market cap of around £60m (pretty much the same as their net assets). With net cash of £22m, that leaves an enterprise value of £38m. For a business that generated £16m net cash after tax, interest and capex (i.e real free cashflow) last year, and which has no debt just plenty of cash, that would seem ridiculous. The problem is the level of cash generation this year and next year - we don't know. Probably a good punt, not least for the takeover possibility. Certainly it won't be going down the wipeout/debt for equity road that many other businesses will be doing, and there's a reasonable dividend in the meantime.

[gswredland] 10/6/2009 10:53

Yep very nice. I wonder what has prompted this?

[cockneyrebel] 10/6/2009 10:43

Major breakout today. CR

[imastu pidgitaswell] 10/6/2009 10:38

What a wonderfully behaved share. Damn...

[imastu pidgitaswell] 09/6/2009 18:55

Scheduled for July, but per their thread (MPI), may be brought forward.

[gswredland] 09/6/2009 18:06
