[supersturrock] 28/9/2012 07:17

Waz that a profit warning?

[janeann] 17/9/2012 18:29

and rise continues; very quiet board given the uptrend and dividend as well

[bogotatrader] 29/8/2012 16:11

Nice rise from 360p non-stop.....BPI is laggind behind rise and with good results out off the way with good dividend increase the income funds should be nibbling away at BPI....

Recovered the ex-div drop easily. Onwards and upwards?

[uxb_steve] 07/8/2012 19:24

Ex d tomorrow for 10.2p divi - looking good recently

sorry to hear you lost out on timing. I can see that taking profits can never be an exact science. I am not trading in vast sums of money - but I have already seen a reasonable paper profit on one stock disappear overnight.
I guess a lot of this is down to experience.
A 10p divi early Aug will keep me in this for a while.
Thanks for the hints.

As a man who sat and watched a fortune slip through his fingers 2008 to date, I wouldn't take advice from me! Knowing when to sell is indeed the hardest part of the game IMHO. Nobody ever got poor taking profits, so whilst it may gall you to see something you've sold continue upwards, don't worry about "selling too soon". It's a lot better than selling too late! My view on RPC is that with forecast earnings of 41p this year and 44p next (source: Yahoo average analysts' estimates) on a sub-10x P/E ratio this remains cheap for a growth company despite being at new 'highs'. I tend to be a buy-and-hold merchant so it's no good asking me when to sell, I'm afraid.

No problem! I am fairly new to this game and seem to discover new ways to err every day.
Most frustrating so far is when to sell when the share price is actually rising.
I seem to sell too soon much of the time.
Any words of wisdom?

[jeffian] 17/7/2012 12:04

Sorry, it was meant to be funny. But you're right about the second bit.

[uxb_steve] 17/7/2012 11:56

Jeffian - your sarcasm has been honed to perfection. You must have been trading too long.

[jeffian] 17/7/2012 10:02

Why, yes, I believe it is!

Tomorrows IC reviews results and notes current polymer futures contracts point towards prices falling in June and July...........

Tip Update:
RPC is operating in difficult markets and the weakness of the euro isn't helping.
But the shares have outperformed during a period in which a significant acquisition was integrated,polymer prices rose 20% in the fourth quarter,and core markets in Europe weakened significantly.
These are impressive results given the backdrop and we retain our BUY recommendation.

[slaphead240] 13/6/2012 15:47

Excellent - thanks Wynmck
Just wish my SMDS were doing as well

[wynmck] 13/6/2012 15:36

Questor Buy again in todays Telegraph.
Also piece in FT-notes new technologies and cost savings from Superfos should continue to help the Co. in the coming year.
..will face some headwinds from Europe but given its exposure to defensive end markets,such as food and pharma,it is better placed to weather them than most.
