Yes looks really good ATM.

[woodcutter] 16/1/2013 15:30

looks like another good acquisition and it just keeps going up and up and up!!!

I do like a very quiet board.

It only needs to drive a little harder and we're thro' the 2008 chart barrier and into completely new territory ...............whooooooosh!!!!!!.

Such a good share to buy and hold in isa, love it

Yes your right if you looked at most of the forecasts of companies you hold you probably wouldn't sell any.

[woodcutter] 08/1/2013 09:22

good to see you're still here b2

I don't really pay much attention to broker forecasts, i'll look at them but there as likely to be inaccurate as accurate imv. So on price forecast the actual share price is nearly always behind the brokers.

i generally try and get some upper and lower limits for eps using my own criteria and then try and figure a range for the share price I haven't done any sums for this yet, i think it's a long term hold with exceptional prospects going forward so not desperate to analyse it really.

i see igr is on a downward trend again.

Hi Woodcutter, I see Numis set a new target with add of 217 up from 202 .

[woodcutter] 07/1/2013 09:37

a pretty decent trading statement this morning so i expect to see a breakout over the next few days and a move up to a new level.

We've made it!
Tarsus has been tipped in the Mail on Sunday!!

Perhaps some sophisticated investors will now jump on......if only for the excellent dividends.

[woodcutter] 28/10/2012 19:33

You'll like that rob;-)

Good for you Woody.

Let's hope Tarsus becomes another Blenheim Exhibitions.
That will do for me!!

I think investors may be put off by the large swings in earnings from one year to the next, and many aren't patient enough to see the long term value.

On the liquidity, i like small share based businesses provided they are niche and have good prospects. Many of my holdings have an even lower share base, it's usually turned out okay for me but you're right in the sense that if it goes wrong it can be difficult to liquidate your holdings. I have been doing it for a long long time and so far, for me, it's been fine.

You may be right and i hope that you are.
The problem for sizeable holders is the liquidity of the shares. There's only about 800 or so shareholders in the company and this is a problem.

If investors can't understand the nature of a biennial event then perhaps they shouldn't be thinking about putting their money anywhere else other than the post office!

[woodcutter] 17/10/2012 09:31

bought a few more this morning and have now probably seen my last top up, my holding is quite reasonable for the size of my portfolio now so it's sit back and observe time. i might be persuaded to take on more if the next results are outstanding.

My view fwiw is the business is very much misunderstood due to the biennial nature of many of it's contracts and as such i think it's glossed over by many investors and also undervalued.

The continuing growth in higher margin emerging markets is a move which i think will ultimately, over the coming years, prove beneficial to those who are prepared to be patient as at some point i think the wider investment community will catch on to the value here.
