Sage Share Discussion Threads

His buy was a token to show good faith - it was only £20k. Over the long run he'll get it back. If he's in the office with Graham Wylie and Graham says "don't you think it would good if you bought some shares" he's hardly going to respond with "I would prefer to short them!"

so why did one of the directors buy 10,000 shares at 2.05 the other day.
is the low of 190 enough ?

Sage 6 month chart looks just like Vodafone!

[buy_high_sell_low] 10/4/2002 15:28

First rule - ignore the analysts.

See how far it falls before buying.

Obviously no one listens to Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein.
Thats a bit of drop this afternoon. A good buying opportunity?
Magpye.

It's getting exciting!

If Sage goes down on an up NAS day it seems to have become decoupled from the US.

Maybe the market thinks Sage in the US will be over run by Great Plains?

thanks, can you smell any figures from the share price, so that we can buy low sell high. What is RNS and where is the site?

[buy_high_sell_low] 10/4/2002 10:55

Tuesday 30 April 2002 - see RNS

When is the date for reporting results?

[mertles] 10/4/2002 10:29

Directors shouldn't really buy (or sell) in closed periods. I see the closed period as the time between closing the books on the half year or year and reporting those numbers to the market. As Sage are at the moment perparing their figures for the 6 months ended 31 March, it's quite obvious that the directors know more about those numbers (and whether they've met expectations) than the rest of the market does.

i like that (though i am a vegetarian). it makes me hungry now.

[buy_high_sell_low] 10/4/2002 10:13

Well it's only a piddly transaction. He's only done it to get a bigger share of the smoke salmon sandwiches at board meetings.

[magpye] 10/4/2002 10:10

Mertles, Directors cannot buy in closed periods can they. Why do you think it is a closed period? Its a good sign to see directors coming in especially as results are coming up. I expected a positive market response to it really.
It did seem to be a bit of a hidden transaction, ie reported after the close?
What do you think.

Magpye.

[madam a] 10/4/2002 09:38

psps,
Are you accumulating MMO2? Be careful, the Telcom sector is risky.

[psps] 10/4/2002 09:27

who knows.
i got into MMO2 at 61.7

[madam a] 10/4/2002 09:15

It is hard to figure out the support level, can anyone comment? Is this the right time to buy?

[mertles] 10/4/2002 08:57

Did you notice that one of the directors bought 10,000 shares on Monday. Was announced after the close yesterday. A bit cheeky me thinks, in what must surely be a closed period.

[psps] 10/4/2002 07:47

stop the ROT.
i will have to go to TESCO to get the DETTOL and Bleach to kill the germs on the stock market.

[buy_high_sell_low] 10/4/2002 07:45

psps - hurry with the Dettol!

[sager] 09/4/2002 10:56
