just a bit of profit taking on wall st. nas down 48 pts yesterday and spt loses half a penny !!...very resilient i'd say ...

[wireless] 12/5/2006 12:28

I assume you guys are watching Wall St and in particular the Nas. Spirent cant buck the wider market and buy backs at this stage will be a total waste of money.

SAM - Give it up

Whoever sold today will be crying tomorrow.

It was only a tree-shake just for some monkies to fall, now it will continue to rise beyond belief.

[kingsdock] 11/5/2006 10:12

I see the anticipated pullback is in full swing. If it goes back to 45p I will re-enter.

[sam79] 11/5/2006 10:01

SPIRENT will rise beyond belief.

[sam79] 11/5/2006 06:53

Morning all, I totally agree with the above post.

Like I've said before and I am saying it again " Keep your eyes and ears wide open "

[chelseasally] 09/5/2006 14:52

Sorry chaps , had to bail out in total today , hope it rises beyond belief for you all . Cheers

So therefore why blow £50 million cash on buying back your own shares. Tell me chaps what you could do with that amount of cash? This is very short term thinking and does'nt show much confidence in the business model!!

[thegrip1] 09/5/2006 11:46

you are all missing the very important point,,,,,,,,,,,,,,business is turning round to the upside ,,,,,this is what will push this share much higher ,not share buybacks.....

Vodafone's massive buy back did'nt seem to help at all. I'm not convinced about this strategy in general. It seems an aweful waste of cash to me. Of course it puts a floor on the price in the short term whatever that is but medium to long it must depend on fundamentals and such things as dividends. In Spirent's case the concept of paying a dividend does'nt appear to be on the agenda!!

I've taken my profit as I expect a small retrace now. If I'm wrong then I've still made my profit and good luck to everyone else. If I'm right then I'll get back in lower down.

[domesday2] 09/5/2006 09:09

It seems to me that in the short term the price will be in the price range at which Spirent have instructed their buy back to be made. This will effectively put a floor under the price. Does anyone agree and can anyone tell what that floor is - 48p? Can anyone see a good reason why the price will not fall after completion of the buy back? How long will it take?

Anthony Bolton has signalled all is not well with the UK stockmarket by taking out a FTSE 100 put option for his Fidelity Special Values investment trust.

Bolton, AAA rated by Citywire for his management of the Fidelity Special Situations (Fidelity Special Situations Acc) unit trust, believes investors are seeing the final stage of the bull market and purchased the three-month option at the end of March. This gives him the rights to sell £91 million of FTSE 100 exposure at a 5% discount.

Bolton has reduced the £407 million trust's net level of gearing to zero, down from its usual level of 15%-20%. The purchase of the option was coordinated with the sale of a number of investments.

Wonder if Fidelity is doing the hovering at the moment?

[sam79] 06/5/2006 21:00

90p+ pretty soon, remember what I have already posted....I shall see you
all on Thu. I am away on business, see you then and be +ve.

[hands of stone] 06/5/2006 18:35

What do you call short term....3 months. Med term being what? A year?

I'll bail at 55p, if gets there.

[davidjojo57] 05/5/2006 15:40

Spt Communications is now starting to move up. Short term over the 50p, med term over the 70p.looking good. DJ
