I've got loads from the earliest Lupus days plus the Greg Hutchings Rights Issues.

The Times' 'Tempus' today has written them up as 'avoid' on grounds of high debt and risks to growth but they are on a pretty undemanding PER and pay a good divi, so that suits me. I'll be holding on.

Wow - The Kraken Wakes - plus 10% today nice dividend increase - wish I had more.

[mrjackpot777] 08/3/2017 07:31

Not bad. Hope we ping past 300p today

[jeffian] 29/12/2016 19:17

Indeed. Just you and me!

;-)

[a0148009] 29/12/2016 19:11

Tiny volume though

[jeffian] 29/12/2016 17:36

Whatever it is, it's looking lively again.

[jeffian] 13/12/2016 12:37

Not quite sure what drives this now. Building materials sector? American housing market? £/$ exchange rate?

[a0148009] 08/11/2016 18:49

I have seen this expression used a number of times recently can only suggest it is a requirement by the RNS or LSE - confusing!

Fair enough TU this morning. However, the bit that intrigued me was - "This trading update contains inside information". Eh? I've never seen that before and what does it actually mean? Once it's published, it's no longer inside information. Who's it aimed at?

[jeffian] 07/10/2016 10:22

Doesn't yet seem to be feeling the exchange rate benefits experienced by other companies with big $ exposure.

[a0148009] 27/7/2016 22:29

Well done took my profit too early, encouraging figures.

It was ever thus. I return to being happy about my recent 230p investment just before the referendum :)

[jeffian] 27/7/2016 17:41

Nice recovery!

[a0148009] 17/6/2016 18:25

Have you seen the last two trades @ 265p after the close, 64155 and 15000!

I sold a few in December at almost £3 , and bought a few back the other morning at 230 , although if I'd just held on to the shedload I used to have rather than selling to buy other more speculative investments I would now be 300% better off, so that small move the other day is only really a minor victory - but a nice feeling nevertheless. My heritage, as I may have mentioned before, goes back to Oceonics in 1995. The dividends have more than covered the original investments.

Jeffian Good to hear from you.

Me too but sold out over the last 12 months as felt they were struggling for growth although they continue to be a consolidator and you have a hell of a yield on your cost price.It is a cyclical business to a fair degree, at this level they seem to be reasonably priced with a decent dividend, the gearing is on the high side for my liking but happy to trade them although liquidity is limited.

Yep, I'm still here. One of my bigger holdings, actually, due to picking up shedloads at pennies in the (pre-Greg) Lupus Capital days, so it rather happened by default.

[a0148009] 17/6/2016 08:30

Are there any old Tymaners (stet)still holders or interested in this company, I seem to be talking to myself! I sold out in March and ventured back in this week at 234.
Jeffian and Strangeman are you still interested.

Bought a few this morning,reckon share price over reaction to a 5% share placement looking for 245-250p.

Big fall on small volume, Standard Life seller lurking in the background.
If they keep going down at this rate there should be a buying opportunity with over 70% business in USA weak sterling makes them more attractive.

Poor results, EPS up but how much is from forex, most of itUK and Europe revenues well down, US up but significant forex benefit helping numbers from my take of it Big positive acquisition however debt is getting large .... less room for slip ups

[jeffian] 04/3/2016 16:40

Interesting that the share price has been recovering quite well in the run-up to results on 8 March, despite a profit warning last November. Maybe things aren't as bad as they thought or it could just be the benign impact of weakening £ vs $.

[bummel45] 19/1/2016 13:44

Bad news coming? This really seems to be a very volatile share, but this morning looks like total sells.

[reval] 20/11/2015 13:21

---- and wish I was here from the days of Lupus !!
Would say trade is not great and that going into next year is going to be tougher than expected, perhaps monitor on a 3 months view, I will !
