4oaks...on teletxt they said something about fears over future growth as th ereason 4 the drop>>>>

[fouroaks] 28/12/2005 16:36

Which they didn't.

[fouroaks] 28/12/2005 16:34

No chance of a blue finish unless someone slaps a buy order in the auction for around 250,000 at market!

thanks 4 oaks...lets hope this ends in the blue today!!!!

[cover] 28/12/2005 12:04

when r the results and why is it down so much today?

[sam79] 28/12/2005 11:48

We're expecting one of the best result ever, keep your eyes and ears wide open.

[hightech] 28/12/2005 11:42

Thanks Sam, I agree.
Little volume resulted in huge fluctuations.. MMs may like it down though.

Any idea about the result?

[sam79] 28/12/2005 11:30

We shall finish up on the day........that was just a tree-shake for some
monkeys to fall.

The question is are you a monkey or an investor?

[hightech] 28/12/2005 11:12

How far can it fall?
Is the result going to be so bad?

[sam79] 23/12/2005 12:20

We could be in for a late Xmas present+

[fouroaks] 23/12/2005 10:12

chocman

Thank you for your pleasant comment and I would like to take this opportunity
to wish you a very merry Xmas and a very happy new year.

2006 will be a very good year for SPIRENT, back to well over 80p:)

appears that everyone fears gustafsson is going to squander the money on some silly acquisition, bowthorpe/marconi style! after all, what track record does he have with acquisitions, in an industry of particularly poor reputation? hard to imagine a prudent acquisition... then theres the integration challenges and driving it all forward

22.12.05 :-1, (50) initiated 'hold' at Deutsche Bank with a price target of 52 pence, dealers said. In a note to clients, the broker said Spirent's disposal of its Network Products division will allow it to focus more on its core communications business. The communications' test and monitoring markets are poised to enjoy healthy growth in the next few years and Spirent is well-positioned to take advantage of the same via its exposure to key growth technologies and its relationship with leading equipment vendors and operators, it added. However, the challenge of efficiently investing its surplus cash poses significant near-term risks, in particular for further earnings dilution from acquisitions.

[pdriccio] 22/12/2005 16:20

Down 8% now from the high of 54p last thurs. Where are the detailed plans of how spt are going to make money...................................................?

[sam79] 22/12/2005 13:10

I have never posted there and never will, if I have something to say it
will be on here......anything else!!

[rabain] 22/12/2005 13:08

sam, you're not the guy who used to post on iii (can't remember name) saying spt was going through the roof tomorrow or next week etc.? You sound just like him/her.

[sam79] 22/12/2005 11:36

FourOaks

That's the spirit, so we all do agree at least on something........

[fouroaks] 22/12/2005 11:33

Sam - no one is doubting your loyalty, what we doubt is your sense in suggesting that you know something that others don't.

BTW most of us here have held or traded SPT for many years so have put our money where our mouths are through thick and thin ;-)

original birdman

Good luck to you mate.

[original birdman] 22/12/2005 11:30

Let's hope that's not your back pocket then Sam! (sorry, couldn't resist that).

I do hold shares, if that's what you mean, and bought a few more earlier in the week.
