"room for confidence" must be the TFW equivelant of a rocket

Agreed Jaf, a subtle but definite improvement in tone since last prelim announcement.

As usual the AGM statement (last Thursday!) passed without comment from this board.....

Well just in case anyone is interested and missed it - the statement was very positive, especially for such a conservatively run company.....


"trading is giving us room for confidence."

Have TFW just launched a new website?

Private Punter is a regular journalist on the local Cambridge paper and a well known blogger. He can be good, particularly on local companies e.g. Xaar.

My take on Thorpe is that they will be spending a lot on product development to gain a foothold in LED, particularly for critical lighting. DIA had a setback on order flow in this field. So, I suspect shareholder returns will be reduced in this phase.

Bid offer spread still a problem despite 1 for 10 split.....very frustrating since it clearly discourages trading.....BUT this is certainly not unique to TFW, and as has been said before trading seems to happen regularly well inside the "quoted" bid offer spread.

Lack of broker coverage / profit forecasts is also an issue....hopefully our resident expert davidosh will provide a comment on the results / future outlook in due course....his comments are invariably worth reading.....where are you David??

Much better sounding than I feared.. will continue holding!

[jaf111] 20/9/2013 12:58

and now starting to move up nicely.....delayed reaction to results???

[solarno lopez] 20/9/2013 08:09

Fully agree JAF

[jaf111] 20/9/2013 08:07

Solid results...have bought in today at under 116 (bid offer showing 112 - 120)...and my trade shown as a sell!
Fingers crossed!

[hastings] 20/9/2013 05:58

Good point VNP, it should be far more liquid after the split process. My guess is that you could probably get inside the quoted offer, but that is only a guess, ratger than an informed opinion.

[gengulphus] 13/9/2013 17:50

Yes, 16.17% yield and a P/E of 1.24 is just a bit too good to be true! ;-)

many thanks Gengulphus the price history seems to have been adjusted but not the div history so I was confused! Cheers Paul

[gengulphus] 13/9/2013 13:56

Yes - see for details.

Did the shares sub divide?

[martinc] 06/8/2013 16:03

Let's hope their results start to look a bit better though.
