ticking up a little on above average volume

indeed it was - note the delayed trade immediately afterwards - clearly connected

[jay178] 23/2/2004 12:45

is that mm buy (230000) at nearly the full asking price?

[robbie12] 22/2/2004 19:28

Agree 80-82 level is key. A break above will be very bullish. Last couple of day s has seen bus/sells pretty even, ignoring one agency cross of 235,000 shares. On Friday all market makers moved up bar none - so must be safe to assume that someone behind the scenes is accumulating. The question is whether it is a bidder or just an instituition that saw some value here in an otherwise expensive market (On the IT side). Great to see some debate though. Has anyone spoken to the management in the last couple of months? Would be interesting to find out how margins are fairing... if we are seeing some stability or even a modest increase then this looks even cheaper. Luck all. Please post if you know the answer to any of the above.

I've held this share since 2000 after it's big crash. Since then mamagement have focused, restructured and sold unprofitable areas. They have won significant new contracts and held onto, or increased existing ones with reasonably good margins. The last results have begun to show the fruits of this. The city has never really woken up to Synstar. We have had a couple of false dawns (Early 2002 & Mid 2003) when the price ticked up to 80p briefly only to fall back. This time is looking more interesting with take-over speculation etc, but the key is the 80p mark. If it can get above this stay, regardless of the take-over rumours, then it looks good for the rest of the year and the city is finally giving it some credit. If the rise is purely on the take-over rumour and it comes off then all well and good. If it doesn't, I wouldn't be suprised to see it fall back to under 70p again. I'll be watching closely for the next few weeks ready to get out if necessary.

gone up 12% since i was told to get in. have been told hold on just begining.

[boadicea] 21/2/2004 04:16

More to the point Robbie, does anyone think it worth putting some cash down for this share? You think it's a good investment, I think so too and we're waiting for the world to catch up with us.
We hope!

[robbie12] 20/2/2004 16:03

Yep but kind of strange how I posted my analysis, saying exactly that, the day before the Mail printed the story. Pure coincidence I assure you! Proves my research isn't too far off. Luck all.

[maut too] 20/2/2004 15:04

obviously not ... there is little point in just posting for no purpose :-))

we are moving up on rumours

[robbie12] 20/2/2004 15:02

Blimey it's quiet on here - broken decisively above the 70p level - reports of takeovers - some useful analysis by yours truly - and everyone crawls under a rock and hides. Anyone got anything interesting or helpful to say????

[maut too] 20/2/2004 10:09

+0.5, (75.5) at 10:10am
20.02.04 :an article in the Independent reports: Computacenter fell 12.5p to 437.75p amid speculation that it is considering a move on its rival Synstar, up 3.5p to 75p. Arbuthnot Securities noted that operationally there is much in the way of synergy between the two companies. With net funds of £46m, Computacenter certainly has the firepower to complete such a deal, should it wish, says Arbuthnot.

[robbie12] 19/2/2004 16:56

Said 100p was a likely target. Mail says 95p - I'll not quibble over the 5p. Luck all.

[firmy] 19/2/2004 14:38

50% rise on the way.

[maut too] 19/2/2004 10:33

interesting ...l2 still looks good - 2.1 with everyone blue

[gardener1] 19/2/2004 10:27

Mentioned in the Mail market report today " Computer services group Synstar eased .5p to 71.5p but rumours doing the rounds after hours suggested that a cash bid of 95p a share from Computacenter could be on the way".

[maut too] 19/2/2004 10:10

low vols as yet - l2 looks good - 6/8 are blue - 7 on the bid and three on the offer

[tugwil] 19/2/2004 10:08

about to blow

[cool hand kev] 19/2/2004 09:10

starting to move chaps

[robbie12] 19/2/2004 00:42

Yes I am holding 50,000 shares. Disappointing to see some small retail selling today, but the medium term outlook is positive. Compare SYN to the rest of it's sector and it looks good value and importantly is well asset-backed. My main rationale for buying is that it must be a fairly interesting takeover target. Time will tell. Luck all.

[firmy] 18/2/2004 17:24

going to rise big time.

[tugwil] 18/2/2004 13:34

scottish wid buy 10.000.000. must know the good news.
