i agree marvelman you always get the idiots selling at the wrong TIME there not real investors though,there just flocks of geese...

[marvelman] 12/3/2008 14:15

P.S.....we are third on the leader board at the moment and hopfully that should attract attention.

There must be some pretty sick feeling individuals around this a.m. after recently selling out and driving the price down. The spread though is very annoying and apart from Eugene's amazing good fortune it seems impossible to buy below the offer shown even for volume.Must be a bit of an offputter for potential new entrants when they have a 18.2% loss to contend with before they break even. Still , on a longer term view these are very very cheap particularly after that trading statement and potential aquisitions promised any time soon.

Seems as thought today is for the "S" shares as one which I have been following, STL, is also moving up with great limits.

Yes that is the other benefit having the divi.

[only1buster] 12/3/2008 13:09

after a long deathly silence at last some positive news - a long way to go to regain the 4p plus of late 06 - investors in sgd have been left in the dark for too long - regular updates from the company should be given - good prospects for a div even if they will be six months later than 07

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - SectorGuard PLC said it expects results for the
year ended March 31 to exceed market expectations, driven by its strong trading
performance.
"The UK market demand for all security products is growing rapidly driven by
the threat of terrorism and rising levels of crime and disorder ... Our
initiatives put in place last year are now bearing fruit and we are positive
about 2008 and beyond," chief executive David Marks said in statement.
In its pre-close trading update, the specialist security provider added the
acquisitions made over the last two years have been integrated successfully.
It also said that expansion initiatives, like increased marketing have led
to strong current trading and future pipeline.

Joey have a look back over the history to get an idea. Only letting stock go at full offer.MMs know this is undervalued.

I was just driving back from Wimbledon and thought to myself 'wouldn't it be funny if SGD was up 33% today'...yesterday I was a poet, today a psychic - glad I topped up...

[joey_the_lips] 12/3/2008 12:31

When are the results due? Could anybody tell me?

[knowing] 12/3/2008 12:29

Should accumulate prior to the results.

The Crucial bit:
----------------------------------------------
SectorGuard CEO David Marks said: "We have put in a strong trading performance
and I look forward to delivering our results, which should reflect the progress
we have made and should exceed market expectations. The UK market demand for all security products is growing rapidly driven by the threat of terrorism and
rising levels of crime and disorder. SectorGuard, with its broad range of
security services, is ideally positioned to take advantage of this growth as
highlighted by its recent contract wins. Our initiatives put in place last year are now bearing fruit and we are positive about 2008 and beyond."

Well, hopefully DM will be making me eat my words - certainly sounds positive doesn't he!!

Bloody hell...first time ever my timing was right.

Knowing.....this was so oversold and never seen such a positive trading update from them. Looks like we can enjoy the ride from here on. Regards.

[knowing] 12/3/2008 12:21

I think whoever sold out yesterday will be very disapointed.

[tornadodown] 12/3/2008 12:17

That goes to prove how very undervalued SGD is at the present moment. Plenty of potential with this company going forward and could well see these double the price after the results.

[knowing] 12/3/2008 12:13

New contracts and going to exceed market expectations.

Pre-Close Trading Update




RNS Number:9356P
SectorGuard PLC
12 March 2008

SectorGuard Plc / Ticker: SGD / Index: AIM / Sector: Support Services



12 March 2008

SectorGuard Plc ('SectorGuard' or 'the Company')

Pre-Close Trading Statement



SectorGuard Plc, the AIM listed total security solutions group, is pleased to
announce a pre-close trading update for the year ended 31 March 2007. As
highlighted in the interims, SectorGuard has grown its turnover year on year
since 1998 and this trend is expected to continue. The Company has invested
significantly in expansion initiatives, such as increased marketing, which are
now paying dividends in the form of strong current trading and future pipeline.
The acquisitions made over the last two years have been integrated successfully,
widening the geographic reach of the business and contributing to the Company's
financial performance.



During the current period, the Company has won a number of new contracts across
its four key divisions, the largest being a manned guarding contract with
Goldsmiths College, University of London, which further strengthens its position
in the education sector. It also renewed its service agreement with JD Sports
for the maintenance of CCTV and intruder alarm systems and was awarded security
service contracts with clients as diverse as BioPark Hertfordshire, Exxon Mobil,
Centrepoint and One Housing Group.



As well as winning new contracts, the Company has further expanded its service
offering and, during the year, Baroness Ruth Henig, chairman of the Security
Industry Authority, opened SectorGuard's Data Protection Suite. This facility
allows the Company to act as data co-ordinator for its clients and assists them
in meeting the requirements of the Data Protection Act.



In addition, the Company is pushing the boundaries of excellence having won
various key accreditations as well as renewing its existing accreditations.
SectorGuard was re-awarded its Approved Contractor Scheme ("ACS") status for the
private security industry, further improving on its scoring against the ACS
quality benchmarks and has achieved Investors in People accreditation. It is
also aiming to be one of the first security service providers to be accredited
with ISO 14001, Environmental Management Systems. This makes a powerful
statement about the Company's environmental credentials, which the directors
believe will increase access to new customers and business partners and will be
reflected in a stronger and more sustainable business.



Furthermore, SectorGuard was named as a 'Best Practice Champion' by the
Institute of Association Management, having started an Anglo-American exchange
programme for security officers from the UK and the USA to share best practice
in professional methods, training and management between the two countries.



SectorGuard CEO David Marks said: "We have put in a strong trading performance
and I look forward to delivering our results, which should reflect the progress
we have made and should exceed market expectations. The UK market demand for all
security products is growing rapidly driven by the threat of terrorism and
rising levels of crime and disorder. SectorGuard, with its broad range of
security services, is ideally positioned to take advantage of this growth as
highlighted by its recent contract wins. Our initiatives put in place last year
are now bearing fruit and we are positive about 2008 and beyond."

Welcome back marvelman.It seems as though our thoughts are similar.

[marvelman] 12/3/2008 10:36

As a previous investor here I have kept an eye on it and now with net assets (EX Goodwill) equal to the market cap and £1 million EBITDA it is a no brainer.
Only a small punt of 100,0000 but will build as necessary.Regards to all.
