You're the type of person who stuffs it up for everyone else. You'll be getting counselling next after complaining to your local MP that it is ridiculous that shares go down in value. Only invest with money that you can afford to lose.

good, need this to climb back to 260p levels!

[miata] 24/8/2007 11:52

Merrill upgraded Sage to core buy from neutral, target 270p.

[wiganer] 16/8/2007 16:44

Nope, seems I'm on ye wrong thread.

[wiganer] 16/8/2007 16:43

SAGE eh? Well, I reckon there must be some "Sage" like wisdom here.

botwoman......why not £1?

shouldnt take much now to get back to 206-208

don one

I am a holder of Sage, and continue to do so, but have just added RBS to my holding of RBS, which for the moment seems a better bargain buy at 535p (stop loss 520p), like most bank shares, weak at the moment. div around 6%.

For a while your investment may not move either way, however do not invest unless you can afford to loose money.

are these worth buying at this price or what price would u buy at

[bearishbull] 16/8/2007 08:14

Cover, have a word with yourself!

You've missed out on opps elsewhere but you can't afford to take a loss on Sage? If you get out of sage with a loss, you can then make your money back by investing in one of your better opps, rather than making a bigger loss in Sage? Oh, I see, you don't really have better opps elsewhere, you just like to moan here.

I've told you before - what you paid for the shares is history, forget about it. What is important is what they are worth now and what you think they will be worth in the future.

Oh, and lyn, if you could let me know the future movements in Sages sp, I'd be grateful too! LOL

lyn, mate, just answer me 1 question....will this ever get back to 260p plus level? time frame? i am seriously thinking of averaging down, but will first need to get hold of funds! and lastly, why did we get that rise to 250p last week, cought alot of ppl off guard, that was the time to have averaged down , before the rise! lol thanx in advance! p.s was it yourself, or someelse did mention share price getting back to 260-280 level in autumn!!!!!!!!!!!!! just need out , as hav missed many trading opp's else where.and NO, i cant sell, as am sitting on a loss, that i cannot afford to take

[lyntwyn] 15/8/2007 14:25

cover, no - don't forget everything else is down too! In fact over the last few weeks, to my surprise, SGE has actually climbed a few positions in the ftse100 which shows that you have to watch the wider market rather than focus on one stock, otherwise you will (have?) become myopic ;)

[cover] 15/8/2007 11:56

now fallen below 3bil market cap.........if this fall continues may be kicked out of ftse?

[maddox] 14/8/2007 14:58

Lyntwyn,

I'm glad to see a Buy recommendation from Panmure along with some positive comment. However, I cannot agree with the negative remark about Sage having 'an historic weakness in marketing'. There is more to marketing than the size of your advertising budget - yes, Microsoft spends a fortune but everyone I know absolutely hates them!

Cover,

Its difficult to understand why you bought Sage in the first place - you appear to have no faith in them being undervalued - if that's the case sell-up and buy something that you think is.

Regards, Maddox

lyntwyn......yes.panmure hav been saying buy twice last month and this month also at 235.5 i think...........still share price not going anywhere..am getting fed up now!

[lyntwyn] 14/8/2007 08:41

A buy recommendation from Panmure Gordon. George O'Connor, analyst, said: 'We have highlighted how Sage has been upping its game this year - improving the board - hiring in investor savvy individuals - Cynthia Ales in investor relations and David Clayton in strategy - strengthening its UK customer relationship management offering with the debut in April of the Sage 200 product set. One of the historic weaknesses is marketing at Sage - it can never match Microsoft spending. However, we note that Sage (UK) has implemented Trillium software - this will support its UK marketing to existing customers and prospects. In turn this should enhance sales productivity, marketing operations and customer service. While much of the changes are unnoticed by investors, underneath the waterline Sage is trading well, in our view.' (Guardian 11/08/07)

botwoman.....hope we get a few more "flick ups" all the way to 260p lol

[botwoman] 10/8/2007 17:03

looks like just a flick up on the way down

[lyntwyn] 10/8/2007 16:52

cover, what have you done to the sp? I popped out for 30 mins and came back to this!!

[cover] 10/8/2007 16:06

lyn, well thats that then, mate! i wud hav sold at a loss i think, had it gone to 255p maybe......need 260pish to b/e......gonna have to wait this out and hope for a rise once the ftse turns etc

[cover] 10/8/2007 12:42

lyn, strange, yes, but why was it taken to 230p level in the first place on what were good results? sage still has alot of catching up to do ,IMHO! when the market was rising this was falling, so i suppose the reversve is happeninig at the mo, and long may it continue.....im hoping beyond hope that when the market turns up and starts rallying, that that will be the catalyst that will take/drive sage back upto where it shud be........260-280p level

[lyntwyn] 10/8/2007 12:30

Maddox, yes most unusual. Generally SGE moves very much in line with market and on a day like today I'd have expected it to be down at least 10 pts. Can't find any newsflow .

Lyntwyn,

....and it actually appears to be moving forward against the market - which is somewhat surprising given its recent trend.
