annoying, but as a long term holder (unless something bad happens...can't see it) I'm not concerned.

[tenapen] 25/9/2006 14:56

The MMs are killing us

[outsider] 21/9/2006 19:07

2 full working days to results.


A few clearing out before them, which has pushed the bid price down 3p from a few days ago.....but me, hold all 165,000 & intend to hold the bulk for 2 years to gain significant tax benefits.

[outsider] 18/9/2006 11:05

I think it's pretty much nailed on that the profits will be circa £2m less circa £250k for exceptionals, like closing London Office.


The outlook statement is key for me & to be honest should be quite robust looking at the newsflow recently.


I think also some people in their mind have the telephone side declining at 20% pa, but it's not it's 6%, due to the high growth of related activity such as ATM's advertising, microcells etc..


The intercative side should be impressive.

& I think Germany may have struggled, (judging by interims) but hopefully now on path to recovery.

I await the results with great trepidation. It'll be interesting to see whether the management have been more sensible with the forecasts this time to avoid two big disappointments running.

Recent airport installations seem good news and no doubt things will come good eventually.

[outsider] 18/9/2006 07:44

8 days to results ,,,,a week on Tuesday.

12 days :-)

[tenapen] 14/9/2006 02:42

its what i love about shares. poggy pig chart reading that "the 150ma may prove to be a bit of resistance in the short term" could be on the nose after a small share price fall today. I find the whole chart thing amazing and wish i had the brains to study further.
I hold.
kenny.

[outsider] 13/9/2006 12:35

Well just looking forward to results now....and of course dividend declaration, hoping for between 1-1.5p.

13 days away.

[outsider] 12/9/2006 16:48

Wow 200,000 buy. (Can't see it being a sell, no way they let you sell that qty for 33p, so probably a protected order now partly filled at it was a 'T' trade?)

[outsider] 12/9/2006 12:02

Poggy Pig, hey everyone is entitled to take a profit when they wish, good luck & thanks for your comments.

[poggy pig] 12/9/2006 11:59

I have to admit to selling out late yesterday afternoon Outsider, as I think the 150MA may prove to be a bit of resistance in the short term. IMHO, DYOR,etc.I will be keeping a close eye on the stock and will buy back in the near future.

Thanks for all the useful info you provided over the last couple of months. :-)

[outsider] 12/9/2006 11:55

Very few shares sold despite the increase the last 3-4 days, a true sign in my opinion that a shares is genuinely undervalued.

[outsider] 11/9/2006 14:23

Would the chart experts tell me if we are about to hit a golden cross plz? (blue line crossing green)

[outsider] 11/9/2006 14:09

Thanks PP, Zabbadan, and all,

Glad to see a fair few who use ADVFN in.


The p/e ratio on forecast profits is still silly with even the exceptionals of closing London Office, surely a fair rating even in these current mkt conditions is a p/e of 10. at 32p, were are on little over 6 & a cracking divi each year to boot....so fair price about 52p.

[papalpower] 11/9/2006 13:32

Well done Outsider and holders, I never did buy anyway at 21p, wish I had now ;)

[zabbadan] 11/9/2006 10:49

still in...

Many rthanks for your excellent research Outsider.

Nice news to get out of bed for, (darn the N/S)
Outsider, After talking with you on 'noodle' i got to thinking that even though the above list of contracts is impressive SIN is a anglo German company so if they have been as active in Germany as here we should have one hell of a Chairmans statement at the results.
As predicted by your good self on 'noodle' SIN have a clean sweep in London, All we need now is Manchester Airport.

kenny.

[poggy pig] 11/9/2006 10:34

I'm still in Outsider.

[wiganer] 11/9/2006 09:18

Yes- I sold about a fifth of my holding recently because I needed the cash, but continue to hold the rest.

[outsider] 11/9/2006 09:12

Wiganer you still holding?

Are others still holding?


Seems just me posting even with such good news.
