Well, bought some more, gamble, either something dramatically wrong or the MM's using small sells to lower price. It would be nice to see dome D's buying.

[knowing] 07/1/2008 12:48

A little more buying and this should move up.

[knowing] 03/1/2008 13:55

dell that is the point I have but you speculate to intimidate !!

[dell314] 03/1/2008 13:37

Don't think they actually need cash but there you go.

Knowing - Just a thought but if I was you, I'd get hold of the last couple of annual reports and scrutinise them very carefully.

Bearing in mind this lot changed their accounting period a few months back and have now brought Ellis onboard, there might be something lurking in the woodshed. I'd start looking for any expiry dates on credit lines just to satisfy yourself that they didn't change acc. ref date to avoid a full audit on accounts with an unresolved credit facility expiry.

I might have a read myself, if I get bored...

Jeez dell your so happy aren't you !! Don't think they actually need cash but there you go.

LOL!

Isn't Ellis the former "Seymour Pierce Ellis" mentioned as the worst performing broker(from a shareholder perspective) in this Times article:



........Seymour Pierce is one of four stockbrokers whose AIM fundraisings have on average lost money for investors. The others are Bridgewell Securities, which last month ousted its chief executive after issuing two profit warnings following its own AIM flotation, Manchester-based WH Ireland, many of whose clients are in the natural resources sector, Corporate Synergy and Nomura Code Securities, a life sciences specialist.

Seymour Pierce owes much of its poor performance to Seymour Pierce Ellis (SPE), its Crawley-based private client broking business, which it sold in September to City Financial Associates for £4.65 million. However, even stripping out the effect of SPE, the firm's average return would have been £1,038, which would put it in the bottom six of the 24 stockbrokers covered in the study.

Seymour Pierce has raised money for some of last year's worst performers on AIM, including Smart Telecom, which fell 99 per cent, AeroBox, down 92 per cent, and Screen FX, down 91 per cent. A spokesman for the firm said: "Seymour Pierce Ellis was run as an entirely separate company and is no longer part of the group........"



I wonder what they've come onboard for. Presumably it'll involve some new SGD shares being issued and a few bonuses for the boys, eh?

RNS Number:0110L
SectorGuard PLC

SECTORGUARD PLC
('SectorGuard' or the 'Company')

SectorGuard plc, the AIM listed total security solutions group, announces that
it has appointed Ellis Stockbrokers as joint broker with immediate effect.

Which Broker is selling for 2.55?

[lecks17] 30/12/2007 20:07

dont think they will be one this year they may use it for further acquisitions
as it says in the interim report ( currently exploring a number of substantial acquisition opportunities)

[deanforester] 30/12/2007 18:25

They've been paying one at the end of their financial year. I hope that it will be announced with the Final results and that it will be commensurate with that covering 18 months.

Looking at the 12-month report, the cash flow is very healthy. Hopefully they will be able to use that as a base for future annual dividends.

[only1buster] 29/12/2007 13:53

no mention of the magical word DIVIDEND or indeed future dividend - will one be paid and when ?

[knowing] 27/12/2007 23:18

Nice to see the move higher today.

[maxk] 24/12/2007 10:03

You too avvy!

[knowing] 24/12/2007 09:23

Just like BLR Max but this is a great little company.Sold on the last spike so back in at lower levels.

[knowing] 24/12/2007 09:08

Thanks eugene did they have any price target?

[eugene1234] 15/12/2007 11:03

Moving to the small caps, Seymour Pierce reiterated its "buy" stance for security company SectorGuard (SGD). It referred to Wednesday's results as "disappointing" but said they must be seen in light of the major restructuring that has taken place at the company over the last 18 months. Going forwards, the broker expects "solid growth in all the key areas of operation, manned guarding, key holding, asset protection, CCTV and alarms." SectorGuard shares finished 0.125p higher at 2.25p.

Just seen the delayed trade which moved it higher and at a .25 premium.

[knowing] 13/12/2007 12:08

Thanks B and good luck too

[eugene1234] 12/12/2007 17:00

the bit I'm worried about is below and if they use shares to purchase the the long wait goes on!


'We are currently exploring a number of substantial acquisition opportunities in
the security personnel sector, which we hope to update shareholders on in the
near future.'

Hi Knowing

Bloody hell, you have been covering this stock for 3 years :)

Thanks for the tip, but I don't touch aim shares. After 2 years of avoiding them, i bought MTA a few weeks back , and my stop loss got triggered. :(

Shorting them is more lucrative for me. :)



Good Luck to you

Sky that snippet

We are now in a very strong position to achieve substantial growth in all areas
of our business, delivering significant increases in shareholder value.


says it all

[knowing] 12/12/2007 12:47

Well I am happy with those results.Underpins the fuure now.

INTERIMS

"We are now in a very strong position to achieve substantial growth in all areas of our business, delivering significant increases in shareholder value."

Heard it all before, but, whichever way you cut it, at 2p the Mkt Cap is just £5.9m versus net assets exc. intangibles of £5.8m (shareholder funds are stated @ over £14m).

With both PIs & AIM in retreat we will have to be patient, but surely 12months from now we should be looking at an share price north of 3p again.
