heheheh I did say "poor AIM" stocks. I am certain that a man of your repute would hold nothing but the best of AIM and if you see my lovely NCC recommendation they are now an AIM to FTSE250. The parable in such stocks would be more the vestibule area on the train between standard and first class. Here you shall find that one seat which inherently feels like first class because, from what I hear amongst standard folk, you can sometimes pick up the first class wifi. I look forward to seeing you and yours on first class. We doff our hat to you and lady gnome sire.

His name speaks volumes - although I can never hear him.

Brilliant citymohawk. I would be more than happy to travel First Class with you. Being retired, Lady Gnome and I have plenty of time to book our train tickets in advance and take advantage of savings on First Class. I do however, confess to owning a few AIM stocks. I'll sell them immediately. I didn't know that there was a class connotation.

[citymohawk] 06/1/2016 12:18

lol Lord Gnome.

You know when you sit on a train and you have a spare seat next to you. It's a nice situation to be in until your eyes hook on to the eyes of the on-boarding passenger and you immediately give him the look of death thinking "go away...don't don't sit next to me don't....aahhhh at least take a shower..." - So, I started travelling First Class and I almost never have anyone sit next to me. The conceited pompous twit I am, I like my space and quiet time. The point is that a few days ago even First Class was slightly packed out and my eyes locked onto this guy and I instantly knew that he was going to sit on one of the 3 spare seats I had on MY table. So he did, and he started making conversation. He was telling me how his company upgraded him to first class and it was his first time. Then he goes on to tell me how it's exactly the same as standard class. I thought to myself the only thing standard about first class today is "you" ... "Get off my train, this is my train...as I recalled that scene from The Film, Ghost". I digress. I retorted by telling this twit that he may not be aware of the fact that he shall get complementary tea, coffee, drinks & snacks, recliner seats, a phone socket and wifi. I thought to myself at this point "The only thing we need in First Class is a filter button so I don't have to listen to this twit. Can you see where I'm going with this?... hold on let me finish. He went on to tell me how they charged a lot of money for drinks/snacks on standard class. I decided to enquire how much he paid for standard. It turns out that his company paid £76 but on the last moment they agreed to upgrade him to First Class for £20. So he paid £96. I, on the other hand paid £66 because I booked in advance. Now, judging by his inability to string a sentence together without an expletive and his poor articulation I concluded that this man was definitely a standard class man who somehow found himself on first class through no effort of his own then wanted to tell me how bad it was. I didn't want him there but I didn't have a filter button to hand. Need I decipher the parables in my story?

-Quality stocks sometimes attract twits from poor AIM stocks. Leeds is a standard class man in a first class stock
-Those twits from AIM have a habit and history of over-paying at the outset then walking into first class stocks and somehow think they understand value when indeed they look like complete turnips. We pay less for the assets we get vs the premium he pays for the manure he buys on AIM.
-Those twits from AIM usually have no idea about the importance of bad timing being a key component to over-paying.
-These twits always revert back to standard class where they feel comfortable with all the students who think standard class is heaven.

That, in a nutshell is where we are with Leeds.

leedsu36. Please don't patronise me. I haven't been taken in by anyone. I have been doing this for over 30years. Any mistakes are all my own, as are my many successes. You, on the other had, are just a bulletin board moron. If you are so busy picking winners, please tell me why you are wasting your time here, casting your pearls among swine?

[leedsu36] 06/1/2016 06:07

I wish I had your optimism lg,but this is nowhere near the bottom yet,Aberdeen still have million upon million to sell,and there is not just Aberdeen doing the selling,i'm afraid you've all been taken in by a couple of FT journo's

Every false dawn gets sold into.The graph does NOT lie.

We on the other hand pick winner after winner after winner,take a look at ctp,mxcp,pinn,csi,bhrd,tek,opti,rcn,eye,kmk.....ours is a list of neverending winners,getting stuck in a rut is no good in this game,cut your losses sometime and invest elsewhere.

Closing up on a day when the entire market has been tanking shows good strength. I think we can safely say that this has now bottomed out. From here it should rise steadily into results as it closes the wide gap between current share price and end of year NAV.

[leedsu36] 04/1/2016 15:37

Sell now on,lord help us.

[leedsu36] 01/1/2016 11:44

And still they release good news to try and prop up sp,but are only helping someone to sell out.

Desperate rns's and someone with millions upon millions to sell.

Good luck for 2016 but just a continual drift here.

[skyship] 23/12/2015 18:01

Is it all a great act to be modern - or is it just Naff, especially the new offices in Victoria. Not sure...

However, agreed, an impressive show of confidence buying such large chunks of equity.

[leedsu36] 22/12/2015 17:22

Well now we know,Aberdeen Asset management selling down and a further 17% to go,

A director buying a piddly amount will not stop the rot,£2 short term then a continual drift down in 2016.

aimho.

[asmodeus] 22/12/2015 12:42

I am also probably old-fashioned, and have nevertheless rarely seen sums like the above invested by Directors in any of my shareholdings. A sign of confidence indeed.

[speedsgh] 22/12/2015 11:31

Another director purchase announced today...
Director/PDMR Shareholding (B Bennett) -

Since 21/10 directors/PDMRs (or their connected parties) have bought as follows:

Matthew Weiner (CEO) has bought 30,500 shares at a cost of £72,058
Richard Upton (Deputy CEO) has bought 65,250 shares at a cost of £152,273
Marcus Shepherd (FD) has bought 50,513 shares at a cost of £119,995
Barry Bennett (NED) has bought 20,000 shares at a cost of £47,400

P.S. Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I don't like the new corporate website one bit -

[leedsu36] 21/12/2015 06:32

Well just take a look at the graph above LG it does not lie,why is this falling like a stone,watch another false dawn unfold as the next big insti unloads massive amounts of shares into any rise.

[lord gnome] 19/12/2015 18:54

Ursus - there is no sense in debating with leedsu36. He is obviously down a few quid on this and is blaming somebody else for his own misfortune. Quality will out in the end and I see this getting back to around NAV by final figures date.

[ursus] 19/12/2015 17:57

Why do you call it a firesale Leeds? Do you accept that it was at above last valuation in a/cs - and at c 20% more than they bought it for rather recently?

[mad foetus] 17/12/2015 17:21

Bit early for the special brew, surely?

[leedsu36] 17/12/2015 16:55

It's another firesale you fools,look how the market reacts,not you two liars.

The truth about you two needs exposing here,stop kidding people.

[citymohawk] 16/12/2015 22:00

Brilliant news Sky.

I usually do a calculation on price velocity vs earnings yield forecast. It's an excellent metric where you monitor the relationship between earnings growth vs price response. I am away till new year so not got my tools with me but from past experience I can say for sure that the price relative to future earnings has become increasingly cheaper over the last few weeks. In other words; today the asset managers can have a better bargain on UAI at the same price compared to last week.

[skyship] 16/12/2015 07:33

Kerchinggg - another £4m toward the y/e target:

[leedsu36] 16/12/2015 00:13

And yet another drop,what is going on ?

50p shares to come to market?

[skyship] 15/12/2015 12:18

JIM - just put hTTp rather than hxxp...

[leedsu36] 15/12/2015 06:17

Jeez when will this end,false dawn after false dawn,how much further can this drop? Anyone?

Someone at least expose the truth.
