Bought in today at 48p

Only in April last year Mears traded at £5.39 Sikh! £4.15 at today's close. £5 would be nice, only a ten bagger from here.

article 2006...
in 2006, Bob Holt was named as chairman of Unicorn Asset Management...Therefore, I think they bought in because of his connections...

Interesting paragraph on Mears...from 10p to 315p... be nice if he could repeat that with TLY...

"Holt bought Mears to market in October 1996 since when, with the help of an acquisitive expansion program, the shares have rocketed up by 3,150% from 10p to 315p."

Back in profit... I was going to top slice at 50p but might leave it for now as something is definitely stirring (and us poor small time shareholders are always the last to know).. new top slice target is 60p gla

Nobby, I couldn't get a price to buy £2,400's worth, so stock is in very short supply which makes me believe that on any decent news this will catapult.

[nobbygnome] 27/10/2015 14:35

So the price has moved 13% on the back of less than £6k stock traded!

[bobby.ifa] 27/10/2015 14:25

I'm trying to buy 5,000, had to do it in two 2,500 trades & moved the price on the last one of 2,900!

[nobbygnome] 27/10/2015 13:18

That was my 5k which moved the price. I did say that stock was extremely short!

Nobby

[nobbygnome] 27/10/2015 10:37

The chart looks good for 60p in the short term so only a little more patience required. To be fair to the MMs (which is rare for me to say!) we need some buying to move the price as volume has bee low. However on the flip side of course they won't let you buy any amount at a reasonable price!

Would like to have been a fly on the wall when Unicorn approached TLY while doing their due diligence before making the top-up. They will have wanted updates on Contract reviews/forecasts etc. before committing.

[spacedust] 27/10/2015 09:44

Wish there was a massive move in the share price too. If it were a dump of 9% I can assure you that share price would have dropped like a stone.

[sikhthetech] 27/10/2015 08:03

Another fund with 9%...That's 4 at 9% each...

[nobbygnome] 26/10/2015 13:11

No improved offer on the RSP and they are bidding up for stock! The MMs are short so don't hang around. I would buy more but can't get the size I want.

Nil chance otherwise there would have been a market guidance announcement by now

[sikhthetech] 26/10/2015 10:21

no problem...

We've only got 11 weeks left until yr end... I agree with Knigel, it does seem unlikely they will achieve the £1m pre-tax, unless they pull something out of the hat very soon...

Bob's £1m EBITA doesn't have a timeframe...

If would do wonders for the share price if either was achieved... we need news on contracts, D2C, CCG's and BLF... the sooner the better - would help provide some clarity on them...

[t0pgrader] 26/10/2015 10:15

Thanks Sikhthetech

[sikhthetech] 25/10/2015 13:09

knigel, it is difficult to see how they can achieve £1m pre-tax profits this year...
The bod set the options criteria in January, 9 months ago and 1 month into this fy.

Credit to the bod for setting themselves a high target to go for in order to get their options...If they don't get the £1m pre-tax, they don't get their options...


All too often, we see the bod, especially on AIM companies, give themselves free shares, with little or no incentive... even failure is rewarded...

[knigel] 25/10/2015 12:52

Nobbygnome, it feels good making a purchase that moves a share price - seen it happen a few times myself.. I presume yours was the 10k purchase not the 2.5k purchase? Anyone probably low free float now so share price will test 50p on buying pressure (although it obviously can work the other way as well).. what's needed is contract news as personally cannot see how £1 million profits can be achieved this year unless there's a large up front payment?
