Good recovery - very strong underlying trend here.

Don't be short - or you'll wet your pants.

[sambessey] 13/10/2010 13:33

Yeah I am cacking myself at a 0.2p drop.

Vod999, are you still short here?

[vod999] 13/10/2010 12:59

down we go lol

[warwick69] 13/10/2010 11:37

just feel may be better opportunities else where for few months before any more posative news.

[philjeans] 13/10/2010 10:48

Still here; still in; not selling for 4p profit when I can get 40p if I wait 12 months!

Little bit of profit taking now and the MMs shaking the boat - a few fell overboard but I'm holding tight.

[warwick69] 13/10/2010 09:12

well what do we all think now this has all gone very quiet, No news or reviews expected from company now just normal news flow, such as contract wins, and eventually annual results, which should reflect the new expectaions as per the August RNS. Given all the recent Director purchases with no Director selling i guess we are now just going to consolidate awaiting further news.
On a positive with cannaught gone by the way side future contract wins should be at a much better profit margin as with fewer players no need to put in daft tenders to win business!!

[argylerich] 12/10/2010 16:03

Sell, Sell, SELL!!! (I want some more cheap shares ;) )

ps my chocolate buttons were very tasty Voddy

[warwick69] 12/10/2010 15:48

yes toochee Sambessey.

[sambessey] 12/10/2010 15:42

vod999, your argument is excellent, well rounded, and littered with good, well researched points.
You have convinced me to sell my 70,000 shares in Rok.

Not.

[warwick69] 12/10/2010 15:34

Vod999 sorry if you are short it may hurt soon, because we are trading well above 50 day moving average and looks to have broken the down channel? You obviously do not follow charts? just hanker after bashing companies that are trying to get back to former glories. This does not feel like another Connaught which maybe you made good money shorting IMO

[vod999] 12/10/2010 15:14

why does the chart look good wake up and smell the coffee sell

[warwick69] 12/10/2010 15:03

Lots of purchases going through on Plus market. Still more buys than sells today this is building a good platform to launch from here. Chart looks good. Low volume today though.

[argylerich] 12/10/2010 13:07

exile, What a plonker of a remark, this is nothing different to half a million Tesco staff reinvesting their divis and using a BAYE scheme. If you have any real information, post it!

[sambessey] 12/10/2010 12:59

1384

LOL!

[exile] 12/10/2010 12:57

Directors buying is often a sign of desperation..... I believe ROK could be a spectacular failure in the not so distant future.

[the heed] 12/10/2010 12:38

Settlement as of 11/10/2010, at 5:45 p.m.
Definitely a good session for Rok as it ends +2.38% higher. The share got off to a difficult start at 20.75, opening above the lowest level of the previous day, and then rose steadily throughout the day, finishing on the up at 21.5, close to the intraday high. In the weekly comparison, Rok's trend is more pronounced than the FTSE SmallCap trend line, revealing investors' greater propensity to buy Rok stock compared to the index.

Status and Trend Analysis
The technical picture for Rok is bullish in the short term, with resistance seen at 22.25, while the first support level is estimated at 20. The technicals point towards further upside, with resistance seen at the 24.5 level (green line in the chart).

Risk Analysis
Here is an investment for risk-loving investors, who will choose to venture large sums despite the security's high daily volatility of 4.96. With daily volume equalling 2,871,785, above the moving average of 1,183,003, Rok is clearly attracting interest in the market.

[warwick69] 12/10/2010 08:19

significant break above 50 day moving average looks etremely good for a major rally. imo

[philjeans] 12/10/2010 08:19

Good start - ROK on.

Silly voddy - thinks it's a SELL!

Shorts suffering - DAILY.

Chart looks amazingly bullish to me.

[highlands] 11/10/2010 22:04

I ain't selling mine yet - still further to go here :-)

[thatch3] 11/10/2010 20:52

This one is fattening itself up for a sale in 6 months. What will be the exit price????

[cockneyrebel] 11/10/2010 20:17

lovely gap up on the chart here - any shorters going to get cremated now these have closed through 21p imo.

Must be a shedload of tech analysts had a buy alert on these tonight imo.

[sambessey] 11/10/2010 20:07
