Looks like its heading back down to mid 80's and my buying target.

The stake building by BEDLAM is a highly encouraging move IMO - a holding of that size is not an insignificant decision for a new asset management team of their size.

Can't agree with you ygor. I bought in early 2004 at prices between 48.5p and 73.75p so I am looking at a good gain which I am very happy with. I am content to hold - its not my style to trade in and out of stocks. SGI is undervalued at its current price. This will be recognised sooner or later, but I am not too worried when as I have no intention of selling.
So far as the directors are concerned, these guys are not fat cats. Their salaries are comparatively modest and I don't begrudge them cashing in some shares to raise some readies.
Stick with them and your patience will be rewarded. Also remember an unofficial definition of the stock exchange - a place where the money of the impatient is transferred to the patient. Tom

well bedlam a.m. have faith, just upped thier holding and become notifiable.

[ygor705] 24/10/2005 17:47

Hear you 40+ but this share has been trading sideways since the early part of 2004 and it should merit a rather better rating than that. Look at the parformance of the indices over that period. Also if the Directors of the Company have no faith in what they are doing why should the shareholders think otherwise?

Hi ygor705. With respect, August is only 2 months ago . . .SGI is also a small cap share which appears to be easily 'manipulated' with wide spreads. I've been here for a while and still like the story - You can only really benchmark your goals at Results and Trading times. I like the brand name which the current management are trying to leverage and expect to be here for many years to come.....

[ygor705] 22/10/2005 11:33

This has been a really disappointing share since August. I do hope that the Directors have been finding something more positive to do than sell off their own holdings.

sorry, wrong thread.

[gregory0106] 07/10/2005 13:14

I sold last of my holding yesterday as this seems stuck for now & with recent drop (colapse) in BP & Tesco I see better short term gains elsewhere. Once I am holding cash again, I'll look to get back or earlier if news of stamp fund is released.

[abergele] 05/10/2005 21:19

Hectorp,

You are supposed to be buying "stamps" not bloody trains, this is'nt the hornby site..
lol..

[hectorp] 05/10/2005 18:56

ruddy disgrace, this director selling. No wonder there is some weakness. Medium term it will sort out and rally IMO.
Bought a City of Nottingham loco, tender and some track today, building up my little system.

[ygor705] 04/10/2005 16:16

.......almost all buys today. Price should pick up a bit.

[ygor705] 04/10/2005 14:50

20k purchase just gone through at £1.

[gregory0106] 04/10/2005 10:55

Does anyone know when the stamp fund is likely to be launched?

[ygor705] 28/9/2005 17:43

Chart is interesting.............it just refuses to breach its May to October trend line despite having had a pretty good sniff at it on a couple of occasions. What we really need is some positive news and an absence of Directors selling into the rise.

[2janpieter2] 28/9/2005 11:15

Overactive WCB.

The spread is 5% today. Had overlooked that on a £1 share.

[westcountryboy] 27/9/2005 23:06

Not callous, but either very clever, or overactive, if you are trying to make money on a 10% gain when the spread is as broad as this. I have traded SGI, but would not do so unless I could see a 20% gain brewing.

[2janpieter2] 27/9/2005 22:43

If the trend is continued, joining recent tops and bottoms, the lines being nearly parallel, 108 is spot on, abergele, a 10% move.

And when that happens, the only way is out for another 6 to 8 weeks. Call me callous if you will.

[abergele] 27/9/2005 21:15

If we get a rush of buys, I feel 108p may be reached in the next forward move?

[abergele] 27/9/2005 20:17

Yes hopefully so,(graph) it makes a creditable way to make money if it follows for a further replica, seems OK to me.

[2janpieter2] 27/9/2005 20:08

abergele, I find the graph predictably repetitive, just look at all those rise and slumps, all the same shape and all at about 2 month intervals. If you take mid June to end July, it's exactly the same shape as third week in August till now.

I recon a rise is imminet and bought 4K this morning, followed by another 4 likeminded punters.

[high park] 22/9/2005 18:01

Not exactly a rush of blood!

[skyship] 22/9/2005 16:11

So, another director sale, this time 260/- @ 96.5p. I suppose it at least means there is nothing untoward with the Investment Fund project, otherwise he'd be done for Insider Trading! So in a perverse way, it may be a bullish indicator.
