yes indeed sar10, I agree.

[sar10] 12/12/2013 09:32

Well got some at 161. A little trigger happy as could have got in at 158.75. Ho hum.

Somebody mentioned it did exactly the same thing a few months back....lord knows why but a cracking buy at these levels!

Be interesting to see what happens here. Hope buyers arrive around 160.

[lord gnome] 12/12/2013 08:17

Somebody must be desperate to sell.

[melody9999] 12/12/2013 08:06

and looks like chart support just under 170p too. good entry point?

[scottishfield] 11/12/2013 20:35

yes, no news or any heavy volume richtea, in fact there were two 20000 buys at the end.

[richtea1701] 11/12/2013 20:33

Like to think it's a shake

[petersinthemarket] 11/12/2013 20:03

Getting a bit uncomfortable, but it did something similar in the Spring. A 10% fall might trigger a few peoples stops. Rather reliant on news, so patience will be needed. GL, pete

bit of a hiccup today?

[petersinthemarket] 04/12/2013 11:40

The long term charts (over 10yrs) for SIV and CMS are remarkably similar, although a look at their relevant business interests don't show a complete overlap. Have their markets been more similar in the past or am i on the wrong track?. pete

For the chartists, there has been a mini-continuation pattern, often in the form of a flag/pennant every month or so for much of this year, followed by the next step up. The chart looks interesting this afternoon as this pennant fills up. Which way will the share price kick this time? Hopefully this could be the next leg up. Mkt a bit weak overall today but SIV holding up very well. GL all, pete.

Ah got my dates wrong!

[lord gnome] 29/11/2013 12:04

Yes it did Davros - by the full amount. Ex-div day was Wednesday. Check back and you'll see.

[davr0s] 29/11/2013 11:26

Thanks for pointing out the exdiv - will stop me worrying what is going on first thing. About time this cracked 200p - the brokers suggest this is very realisable

Ex div tomorrow

[scottishfield] 26/11/2013 16:19

good steady performer.

[petersinthemarket] 26/11/2013 15:21

Mkt not getting over excited today. Nor me.

Statement not bad, but hardly bullish.

As for those much trumpeted director buys. Not quite what they seem. Martell excersized rights at £211k in May and immediately sold all at a hefty £300k profit. He only ploughed a part of it back when he recently bt £129k's worth. Admittedly Armitage spent £92k of his own money. But as for Stevenson, she only spent just under £5k , which I guess is less than many of us on here hold.

Don't want to appear too gloomy though. Todays share price is just about sitting on the lower trend line and the IMS was at least a ''steady as she goes'' report. Based on my reading of the chart, we are due for a modest uplift.

I'm staying in and expect better progress next calender year as the directors continue to get a grip on the more profitable part of the business.
GL, pete

[scottishfield] 26/11/2013 15:01

topped up this morning

[davr0s] 26/11/2013 14:52

Very few trades which given they published half year results was unusual - especially compared to yesterday's volume. Anyhow if I recall it often takes a day or two for any share price reaction with this one

[melody9999] 26/11/2013 07:55

Yes exactly farg. Continuing to exit from low margin print and increase higher margin marketing services. ....and new year has started strongly. So maintaining revenue is effectively growing the business as they manage down any reliance on print.

[bookbroker] 26/11/2013 07:39

Nowhere, if anything slightly down, reading the statement relates although trading outlook relatively positive, somewhat mitigated by print division.
