The Rolling Stones are the ideal rock and roll promoters of stamps ....

I used to play football in the street and scrump apples when I was a kid (and I bet Ronnie did as well). For the record, I would like to say publicly that I have no intention of reverting to these childhood habits.

Looks like things may be picking up at last on the share price front. Could be a reverse head and shoulders forming on the chart.

was a little mention in Investors Chronicle on Friday regards the Trading Statemant, said they look cheap and BUY

[gregory0106] 09/1/2006 14:21

No ideas on reson's, but good to see bid back at 90p. Lets hope its the start of a long run.

[getscenic] 09/1/2006 14:17

Shame we can't get ronnie to put a few k into thier shares as well.
nice tick up, any clues as to the recent volume?

Interesting that Ronny age 58 should be interested in stamps.Not sure if it's the case with dear old Ronny but apparently the baby boomers with the money want to get back to their childhood hobbies.On the subject, I read an positive article today in Portfolio International about the Stanley Gibbons fund. The article says
that a large % of investors are in the 50-60 year old bracket and that this bracket is the only growth consumer market due to their high disposable income.Thye quote UK government figures saying that in the UK alone there will be 6 million more over 50's( myself included) by 2012. The article goes on to point out the positives that are :the low corrrelation of stamps with other assets ,the strong investment performance of these assets over the decades, SGI's leading brand name , the availability of the SGI stamp fund for the first time ,growing interest from investors in emerging markets, so overall very positive fundamentals.

Looks like Ron Wood of the Stones is boosting the fortunes of SG:



Maybe Charles Kennedy could join him :-)

[gregory0106] 09/1/2006 08:22

All gone quiet again after those 2 large trades - perhaps someone either just wanted a good top-up or is biding thir time for further buys.

[ygor705] 05/1/2006 15:58

Well............no obvious move today. MMs must hav plenty of stock on the books.

[high park] 04/1/2006 21:07

See what you mean, Gents. 500 000 turnover against 20 000 on a good day.
And that in only 2 transactions.

Mr Big is stalking and hiding behind T trades.

[ygor705] 04/1/2006 18:07

Yes Gregory..........2nd biggest days trading in the last 6 months. Volume of that size could establish a trend in the share price

[gregory0106] 04/1/2006 16:48

Seems a very large buy level today (over 500K) with 250K going throgh after the final bell, so perhaps some interest taking shape?

[getscenic] 30/12/2005 16:23

Nice end to the year, but not sure about that extension to the fund.
Popped in to "The Strand" over xmas , shop full and was interested to hear that there is lot of interest in the coin and autographs depts.
pauly p your interest is noted, no doubt some of the pub maybe interested.
Now we need 10% div hike and we'll be motoring again.

Happy new year to all

I dont think there's anything in the share price for the stamp fund so its a bonus on top if it goes well IMHO.

Nice to see you on board Paul. A minute after your trade there was a 50k buy too. Nice.

Blyddyn Newydd dda!

[ygor705] 30/12/2005 13:02

Personally, I can't see how you can lose your shirt trying to set up a stamp fund so everything is just added value for me on that front. Confirmation of current trading should, at least, underpin the price at current levels. Chart looks like its showing a double bottom to me.............again bullish. Happy New Year to everybody on this thread.

[clocktower] 30/12/2005 12:28

Nice ending for the year... Cheers all.

[tipodochus] 30/12/2005 12:27

Quite surprised by the price jump after that statement, doesn't "the subscription period for the first tranche has been extended" mean they couldn't get the funds they wanted?

[one for the money] 30/12/2005 12:21

Signing off for the new year. Have a good one, everybody.

Cheers

[paulypilot] 30/12/2005 12:08

Hi,

Not looked at this one before, but reckon it's a bargain after today's positive trading statement. Just picked up 30k at 92p (trade not printed yet).

Positives seem to be;

- fantastic brand name
- rapid growth from internet
- strong balance sheet
- 7.1p EPS just confirmed (indirectly) for 2005, so PER only 12.8 which looks good value to me for a growth company

This looks like the sort of business that can only gain from the internet, and am pleased to see they have a transactional website. Although it looks a bit "mickey mouse" to me.

Cheers, Paul.

[ygor705] 29/12/2005 18:10

When do we get to hear about the Stamp Fund?????

[ygor705] 22/12/2005 17:44

Well its been pretty boring for the past 4 months Clocktower............like watching stamps dry in an album infact. Anyway, the new fund is due to close tomorrow so we should soon get movement in one direction or another.

[clocktower] 22/12/2005 13:00

I think we could see a strong upward spike early in 2006, they look good value to me at present.
