I should probably point out I'm LTBH/high yield, and not a trader and I only read these forums for fun :)

To be honest I don't really care about the price too much. If it goes too high I'll sell. Otherwise I'll sit back on my 6.2% yield (at my buy price) and have fun :)

Well, C, it has a good record and a good yield. On the other hand, the only forecast I can find is for earnings of 50.8p this year (a drop of 15.5% from last year's normalised earnings of 60.1p) and not much growth next year (52.5p, +3.35%). On that basis, I can't see it going much higher than 575p short term. Still, valuations are subjective, and we mustn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Of course, it could be that earnings forecasts have now been upgraded. Does the Fleet Street Letter mention any new forecasts, TIH?

at the current price after todays rise, it's on a dividend yield of 5.1%.

615p doesn't sound optimistic to me - would give 4.5% yield, compared to the index yield of about 3.4% ish

I would see 800p as being a sell point for a HYP investor (yield reduced to only 3.5%)

Thanks, TIH. Good grief, 615p! That seems a little optimistic short term. :-)

Hi Diogenes. Apparently tipped in the Fleet St Letter with a short term target of 615p

540p this morning, up 11%. Is it a mistake, or has Providence stepped in to help me?

Or has it just been tipped somewhere?

Cripes,

sorry guys, I'm obviously not alone with these. Freddy started this thread some time ago, he sold out last year(?) but is now back in according to his later posts. Be warned though, if you follow freddy, be prepared for the fact he will dump illiquid stock first and let you know (if you ask often enough) later.

He does pick the odd good un though :-)

I liked the statement, much better than previously, realistic and open. The growing jewel looks like its going to be Advantage. I have a reasonable amount of these, bought with spare cash, so not a risk in that manner.

Nice to see you in on these Diogenes.

Put simply, I like the cpy, the divi and the prospects, which seem to be better than at any time in the past 2 years.

It's suddenly quite a party!! Mine's a holding long-term at the present and for the Divi of course.

Mayborn (MBY) is well worth a look, in my opinion (should add that I am a holder). See the thread here for reasons. And if you are in the minority and like Freddy, you may be encouraged to hear that he appears to have bought 25,000 shares on Friday. It was a late conversion, but no doubt genuine. :-)

Well, there aren't many of us around! I did plenty of research on this one and then saw Freddy's name at the top. I could have saved a lot of time by just looking for his name! Any more suggestions?

Well, Mick, I bought some back on the strength of the results and old man Coombs' unusually positive remarks. Pity about the spread, but there seems to be no doubt the shares are good value again, and then there's always the dividend.

Amusing to see Freddy still hanging about here sneering and patting himself on the back. :-)

Blimey,

Am I the only one left holding sus?

Good results, excellent (and realistic) forward projections, interim divi maintained.

I bought more when these fell to the 350 area. Better than bonds!

LONDON (AFX) - S & U PLC, the consumer and motor finance provider, is
confident of a significant rebound in profitability in the current year as
current trading points to strong profit growth in the second half.

In the first half to July 31, it posted a pretax profit of 4.2 mln stg, down
from 4.5 mln, on sales falling to 16.3 mln from 17.5 mln. It declared an unchanged interim dividend of 8 pence a share. The company's profits were dogged by the fraud at its London operations last year. Today the company said "We have still suffered from the effects of last year but normal trading should now increasingly be the order of the day."

S & U said its financial position has continued to strengthen and its net
debt is within budget. "I am confident will be a significant rebound in profitability in the current financial year," it added.

Oh and Advantage, the car credit ops, is exceeding expectations too.
