see what i mean - both sage and autonomy making gains in a weak market

sage AGM coming up in a couple of weeks, should be interesting

[johnsmithbillion] 16/2/2006 10:37

jpmorgan apparently say switch from sage into autonomy, but apparently ludicrous reasoning. i like both these companies

johnsmithb...,

Sooner or later you'll have to accept that you've missed the boat - these have moved to a new trading range. If you really believe that these are going to go down you should buy puts.

Regards, Maddox

every time i speculate about 240 they go up, very annoying

[lyntwyn] 14/2/2006 16:32

Bound to suffer from profit taking at this level, but 240? Don't think so, but would be a good buy.

[johnsmithbillion] 14/2/2006 16:00

might still get back to 240, would love to buy some more at that level

[botwoman] 13/2/2006 15:47

dont know why these are falling, looks like many more buyers on L2

up nicely this morning, another big move up in the making? look at AU. surge yesterday... SGE is far more profitable than AU and with huge customer base.

and dont forget this was the top performing UK stock of the 1990s. generates buckets loads of cash and underlying profits growing at a healthy rate, might even start to accelerate, and Verus might boost too. margins have been stable at around 27%, high ROCE, integrated acquisitions well

ex-div today, i think 1.953p, so not down much

[acronem] 08/2/2006 07:46

I think you must equate....are you an investor, or a trader.?..there has been a "good" degree of volatilty in this stock for a long time now, and, given the upward trend, there still exists good potrntial for the investment aproach, though, "opportunities" to "trade " in and out remain as people jitter and or profit take......I have traded and invested in Sage over many years and like botwaoman says, can recall the 925 days. It´s all about what yuou want to do..sit back and watch..or get in and out. Don one, if it were a clear cut and exact science, we would all be millionares,....good luck everyone.

[botwoman] 06/2/2006 16:25

don one,

you sound like the expert. how do you rate Sages prospects?

whats your view on the Verus Financial Management acquisition?

all i know is the shares are going up and its a long way to go to get to the previous highs of around 925p!

[don one] 06/2/2006 15:28

i have had sage shares a long time and at what price should i sell at can it go up muth more i got them on a share save for 68p

[johnsmithbillion] 06/2/2006 15:06

[botwoman] 06/2/2006 14:42

Jackson gone to play POKER, leaving us with a VOD man. I hope this works out, - VOD not exactly thriving is it?

LONDON (AFX) - UK software company Sage Group PLC is to announce that its
chairman, Michael Jackson, is stepping down to be replaced by outgoing Vodafone
Group PLC deputy chief executive Sir Julian Horn-Smith, the Daily Telegraph
reported.

The announcement is likely to come at the group's annual meeting on March 2,
the paper said.

According to the Telegraph, Jackson's appointment last summer as chairman of
online poker group PartyGaming PLC has raised concerns among shareholders at
both groups over his ability to fulfil the two roles.

UK corporate governance rules state that an individual should not be
chairman of more than one FTSE 100 company.

Analysts at Shore Capital reiterate their buy recommendation saying: 'The spectre of Microsoft has been a perennial bear point on Sage, and has been perennially overdone.'

[botwoman] 27/1/2006 10:51

[lyntwyn] 27/1/2006 09:33
