[hectorp] 11/12/2006 10:19

about to test highs..

[hectorp] 08/12/2006 17:17

.. and my purchase is already starting to look fortuitous.

Worth investing here very likely.
Great growth prospects on top of current good trading. Quality of company, UK sterling earner, nice mid cap company, decent management, trustworthy if a little staid, a good 'balance' in a growth portfolio ( when the rest are more risky). Not for shortermer fly by night traders .. which is good.
- made a ist purchase, sit back and see how it looks in 6-9 months.

It did not retrace much from my first order but managed to get another small stake at almost 422. I want some more but I ain't being the sucker to pay what could be the high price of the day, this time it's someone else turn ;-)

[prankster2] 13/11/2006 16:04

I like these so I bought some at 419.75, not too many mind as I don't like to pay what could be the top price for the day, any retracements and I'll pile in with a bigger stake.

Merrill are bullish on this company:

Analysts at Merrill Lynch said in a note to investors that the results were
"another stellar performance," adding that the company "continues to see strong
demand for its pensions offering."
It added that the higher sales figures should lead it to raising earnings
estimates for 2006-2008 by 2 pct.

Wonder how the news of good pension sales will affect the shareprice over the coming weeks. was looking for a target price of 3 pounds but suppose I'll have to add 30% to that and wait 6 months...

well with HBOS holding 60 % of the stock its time for a re-valuation of the share price How much do they want or do they want all of St James portfolio and business. Its all interesting for the share price

[smallchange] 28/10/2005 15:19

this hasnt been pulled to the top in a long time, I have invested as I believe the current shareprice doesnt reflect the value held by STJ and the growth they are having. Reading through the last RNS's over STJ it seems the market wants to play a slow game with the share price and shake out all weak holders...

any thoughts,opinions or insider info would be appreciated..

[kalo] 22/1/2004 08:01

IPRIggs...I worked there 3 months ago!

[ipriggs] 21/1/2004 09:22

Kalo/Ibrox,

The interest is nothing to do with HBOS and only to do with the FSA involvement in the advice being provided as well as records etc.

[kalo] 21/1/2004 08:39

All I know is that they were currently carrying out audits which havent happened for a long time. They are also asking all the Partners questions and carrying out checks on their work processes and client bases. Why the sudden interest. Im hoping around March time to hear something.....
