Wouldn't be suprised to see a new High here very soon.

[danski] 23/3/2007 18:39

they will be at master investor tomorrow... should generate some more interest among PIs

[stakeadder] 23/3/2007 18:14

Advertising now in the investors chronical too. Cant see this share going down anymore from here.

[gengulphus] 23/3/2007 11:14

I'd have said that that double top and the double bottom about two weeks before it look pretty similar and are about equally significant chartwise... The casting vote for me from that point of view is the fact that we've got a nice unbroken uptrend. And going beyond charts, we've had some very nice results recently which leave the company on a P/E of 16.7 with a PEG factor of 0.74 - very reasonable "Growth at a Reasonable Price" fundamentals and a decent outlook statement.

It's obviously not a certainty, but I know which of the double top and double bottom I expect to be broken!

I was tempted again, but hesitated, as we have about 50K more buys out than sells for the last few days.. what you say may be right ygor.


as this charting here was very usefull at one stage....

[ygor705] 21/3/2007 19:45

Nasty looking double top on the chart. Hope i'm wrong but this one could drop a bit further imo.

[abergele] 21/3/2007 15:00

I see someone bought at 187p ttoday,...as predicted..

crystal balls for sale....£550 each.....cheap at half price....lol's

[abergele] 20/3/2007 09:45

Those that bought for a quick £2 exit,or just under are being disappointed, and will leave .
It will pos. give another chance at £1-87p to buy.imho before the next try at new highs.

[diogenesj] 15/3/2007 15:39

Yes, quite a worthwhile little buy by the non-exec.

[its the oxman] 15/3/2007 12:33

yep - can't see this not breaking 200p now

[penpont] 15/3/2007 12:30

Nice director vote of confidence.

[amla] 14/3/2007 19:32

You got it right,Abergele....good one!

[abergele] 13/3/2007 19:51

Personally think it will give people a chance to buy at 186p...before reaching higher highs...imho

[hywel] 13/3/2007 19:40

Yeah, i don't think anyone was expecting a special dividend.

Typical - SGI was pretty much the only stock that i hold that went up today & it's the only 1 i want to go down so i can buy some more! Sold half before results, will probably get a chance to buy back the half at some point, given the market's volatility though.

[one for the money] 13/3/2007 08:31

IMHO you rarely get two special dividends so close together so i wouldn't have expected it.

Cheers

Have taken a bit of profit today..................will run the rest. Bit disappointed that there wasn't a special dividend and acquisitions can create uncertainty. The shares have had a good run and I'm not sure whether there will be much more news now before the summer doldrums overtake the market.

Tegestology is another possibility.

Serious tegestologists concentrate on historical and social changes within designated time periods, the processes used in production, the organization of sets, graphics and design, and the maintenance necessary to preserve extensive collections.

In the UK over 20,000 different styles have been produced.

Austrian Leo Pisker has a collection of 150,000 from 160 different countries.

What am I talking about?

[irenekent] 12/3/2007 09:19

Wonder why they havn't moved into coins. Perhaps Noble Investments might be a target?

[its the oxman] 12/3/2007 08:25

looking forward, 18.8p for 2008 is more than i hoped for and says more about where this business is going - reckon 250p on the cards in time

[wjccghcc] 11/3/2007 16:18

Revised down 0.8p.

Stanley Gibbons is looking to strike what it describes as a "transformational" deal, as it seeks to harness growing international demand for stamps, autographs and memorabilia.



The group, which forecast more growth this year, said it was seeking to harness growing international demand for stamps, autographs and memorabilia and aimed to bolster its international presence.

The 150-year-old company, which alongside stamps now sells objects such as the corset worn by Marilyn Monroe in the film Some Like it Hot, said it was looking at potential "material" acquisitions, although it is not currently in talks.

Paul Fraser, chairman, said: "We are doing a lot of sales in America so it makes sense to go that step further either by making an acquisition or setting up an office there." It is also aiming to strengthen its hand in Asia.

Stanley Gibbons Group Limited has reported an expected 33% increase in full year pretax profit

For the year to December 31st 2006 the stamp collecting and memorabilia group, which trades as Stanley Gibbons, Fraser's Autographs and Collector Cafe, made a pretax profit of £3.75m, in line with brokers' expectations and up from £2.82m last time.

Sales rose 22% to £16.7m, with 46% of these made overseas. Internet sales increased 9%.

The group ended the period with cash of £3.1m.

A final dividend of 2.5p was proposed, giving a total for the year of 4p, up 33.3%, payable from earnings per share of 11.07p, up 22.6%.

'This was another excellent result ... Investment in rare stamps as an asset class has now been adopted into the mainstream of investment products,' said chairman Paul Fraser.

'Our share of the international stamp market continues to grow, but still remains below 0.5%, giving us a huge opportunity to play for in all areas of our business.'
