They are investing in the site though moneybags abd are aiming for Chinese, Indian and US collectors. With only .5% of the market share there is a lot to play for imo.

I collect coins and that market is still strong. Don't forget also that SGI is not only stamps but is increase its range of other non-coin collectables.

I am only looking for 15% growth per annum ( including the divi ) so am happy with anything in excess of that. Remember also that this year will bring tax benefits too.

Someone just picked up 15K btw. :O)

Just thinking aloud here.....Stamp collectors are on the whole,mainly men who have a fair amount of worth behind them and this type of investor will be feeling the pinch right now with their portfolio well down and maybe having to call in some money from shares such as this one where they are sitting on a decent share price.

Also maybe the books have been done for the next set of results........

S.G. has done well but the company can't carry on for ever bringing out such a rise in revenue each set of results.Cac they.....?

I doubt it,but still a great recent history of results.

I am seeing a slowdown in recent stamp prices at auction just in the last two weeks with a larger percentage going unsold.
I bought three proofs only last week at auction where there is only two examples of each proof know to exist.I was prepared to go to £550 for them but picked them up at £260.
I would never have got them against no bidders a few months back.

That's what the company is putting the fall down to Mas - small PI selling.

I have a good friend that spoke to them very recently.

[masurenguy] 20/11/2007 15:21

Another run of PI Sells. Again these Sell transactions are averaging less than 2K!

[coffeebaron] 20/11/2007 12:08

think this stock has caught the general malaise running throughout at mom........as a technician, i'd say it looks pants, and if it doesn't hold 170 you will see 120 again, all valuations and other such fundamental beliefs aside. but then i'm bearish the indices full-stop, so good luck...there are a lot of people trying to catch 'falling knives' out there.

Final sale for 2007 now on and a few new catalogues released as well:

[liarspoker] 20/11/2007 08:27

Don't tell me I'm the only one ?

P/E of 10.33 now and a PEG of .29

Look at the ROE, ROA and net debt.

ROCE is even a massive 32%+

[liarspoker] 20/11/2007 08:11

Added a small few.....

[orange1] 20/11/2007 07:32

Quite so Irene. As your post number 19 well illustrates, you clearly know all about this company.

[irenekent] 20/11/2007 06:39

I think there may be more to this than meets the eye.

[bigbigdave] 19/11/2007 19:20

Crikey, just seen the chart. And was on the point of buying last friday.

[masurenguy] 19/11/2007 18:30

LOL - MMs playing a big game here - 88K shares sold in total with the average Sell less than 2K - AND THEY MARK IT DOWN 32P ! They're just exploiting todays big market falls to scare the small shareholders into selling out at a big discount.

[harrykewell] 19/11/2007 16:39

Only tiddlers leaving the ship - nothing of real size.

[tara7] 19/11/2007 16:20

Market cap in 2 years 3m pounds.Free stamp with a pack of cornflakes.

[wirralowl] 19/11/2007 16:05

Added a few, long term looks a great stock for the SIPP.

[its the oxman] 19/11/2007 16:02

market panic - guess sellers finally hitting the stocks that were manging to hold up - holding tight myself on his one - probably a good opportunity to top up for the brave

[irenekent] 19/11/2007 15:48

Got out just in time. These days I think its almost act first, think later. Whats caused the drop?

[cootuk] 19/11/2007 15:47

Someone must be bailing big-time?
170p looks like a good entry point if it continues on no news.

[cambium] 19/11/2007 15:40

flippin heck!

[matt] 19/11/2007 14:26

Looks like the bottom of the channel but then these days it would be no surprise to see a share fall out the lower line.

[chap1889] 19/11/2007 14:00

Agreed. Sold today. Will look again 150/170p.

[matt] 19/11/2007 13:58

Taking a beating, downtrend in place. Series of lower highs and lows.

[moneybags] 19/11/2007 11:32

4qm8......I had the same thing as you.I have a stamp coming up for sale soon at Harmers with an £800 reserve on it(priced by Harmers for the sale at £1000 but I wanted a slightly lower reserve to attract the bids).
S.G.....offered £325 for it....!
I had a lot in Harmers last auction with a £120 estimate and it made £280.S.G. offered £80.

The money in stamps is to be made in the buying of them cheaply.
In S.G. position,I would do the same thing I suppose.As long as you can get the stock in then why pay more.
Saying that,I do see the sellers getting the upper hand at present so they are looking around before they sell.
