Tell them you want your costs back. If they don't agree, then report to the ombudsman. IMO you should get your costs back.

No - just had to sell them, annoyingly at a small loss, having bought at 160p with a traget of 250p - which they hit about a year later. Couldn't rebuy as I wanted to keep the cash in the ISA. Have some now, and will be holding for some years to come I suspect.

Did you get any compensation from Barclays for the mistake RB?

[riskblue] 24/7/2008 10:11

Sadly SGI don't have a dual listing. I had to remove them from my Barclays ISA about a year or so ago, along with a coupe of others, after the revenue clarified the rules.

[masurenguy] 23/7/2008 10:09

Yes, AIM shares are ineligible for an ISA unless they have a dual listing on another recognised overseas exchange.

[tom.muir] 23/7/2008 10:02

It's traded on AIM. Doesn't that make it illegible for an ISA?

Back on close watch after a year. could be handy in the ISA, beside for example, RSA.

davidwilkin with results due out very soon I am sure the share price will over react whichever way they go.

O/T: Thanks for your comments about CEL (AGM today) I will look at MCM & post a cautious reply (I dont want to be mugged by the board if I am negative) am currently investigating SFR as it has a low PE and high yield but not posting.

[davidwilkin] 22/7/2008 21:16

Theres a seller here, dumping in 25000 lots, i dont know how many more they have to get rid of, but the price wont move till theyre cleared.

Bookworm, read your posts over on CEL we seem to of found the low PE stocks,take a look at MCM and leave me your thoughts over on that board.

[bookworm1] 22/7/2008 11:11

Wcb thanks - Wonder if the share has stopped falling though?

[westcountryboy] 21/7/2008 20:32

Yes I meant eps. No need for the ledge yet!

[bookworm1] 21/7/2008 18:30

3800 thanks you for pointing that out as there was some confusion whether westcountyboy was talking about revised target prices or eps. I will climb back off the ledge if we are talking eps then as the 35% gain matches the projections that were discussed on this board back in April being 20% due to sales growth and 15% for corporation tax savings.

[3800] 21/7/2008 17:03

I don't think that earnings of 18.31p are a catastrophy that is still 36% growth on 2007 and a prospective P.E of 7.7, hardly window ledge stuff.

Can you post a link to the share price July 8th Note ?

[ted32] 21/7/2008 10:20

Westcountryboy. Seymour Pierce reiterated a buy at 138.50 on 8th July 08.

[bookworm1] 21/7/2008 10:12

I think 18.31p would be catastrophic & I would be looking for a window ledge to jump off!

Leading stamps (SG30) have not had a down year for more than 50 years I believe. In 73-75 when the S&P500 dropped 50% and the FTSE 60% (more than twice that of today) the leading 30 stamps continued to rise. Unfortunately there is no data for stamps of lesser standing throughout this period.

[romi2nikki1] 02/7/2008 13:24

re previous discussions ( 141 on...) about disparity between published broker forecasts on Barclays site. Barclays are now showing data that concurs with data elsewhere.

Hopefully casual browsers might be pleasantly surprized, that a reliable company ( hopefully), with little debt..... is on quite a low rating.

[don carter] 02/7/2008 09:48

mrionionbahjee2,

Good to hear a variety of opinions..... I've made my call, yesterday, by buying at 145.9p.... I do think the stamp market will hold up during a recession. Check out the info in the header regarding rare stamps outperforming the indices over a 53-year period.

[bookworm1] 01/7/2008 18:44

mrionionbahjee2 your post makes no sense whatsoever from either a fundamental or technical point of view. What are you trying to say?
