She's a tickin' !!

Nearly at 270p - luverly..........

Hi L,

Yes I hold, and yes you don't need to keep watching this one do you, it just keeps ticking up with weired movements sometimes, but steady overall.

Popped in today, wondering why so many small buys, been tipped somewhere as a nice steady growth stock for ISA people?

Take care, and keep on ticking

Liarspoker, do you think that 350000 director options went straight to an institution, I would have assumed so. They must be keen.

Great spot by the way, glad I got in some time ago.

Keep up the good work, even tho your talking to yourself most of the time!

cheers

Seems to be a bit of resistence at 260p. Could break out nicely over the next few days imo.

[liarspoker] 18/1/2005 08:22

Bullish if we break 260p !!!

[liarspoker] 12/1/2005 10:59

I'd be happy with 300p+ at the end of the financial year. ( +- 20% growth on EPS alone ), that coupled with all those little scrippies makes for a lovely long term investment. Roll on 10 years time...8-)

[liarspoker] 04/1/2005 18:47

Not sure what is causing all this movement. Could be a rerating by someone.

Sure like it though !!

[liarspoker] 22/12/2004 08:40

Break-out !! 8-)

[m.t.glass] 21/12/2004 15:41

One more little nudge and it's another alltime high. On decent volume too.

[liarspoker] 19/12/2004 19:01

Sure is. 8-)

400K X trade - nice to have that sort of money. ;-)

[liarspoker] 15/12/2004 11:16

Yep MT - 40% share price growth is nice per year.

Don't forget though that 50% of the share price rise is due to the P/E, the other 50% due to the EPS.

Am in discussions with the Mrs to buy a shed-load more of these to hold for 10 years +.

Will keep you posted. ( probably won't happen till March next year ).

[m.t.glass] 09/12/2004 17:32

I agree (though actually the share price does look like ending the year around 40% up, which is excellent for those who were onboard. And it put on 45% last year.).

[liarspoker] 09/12/2004 14:46

deerings - keep holding long term imho. Shove 'em in the bottom draw and look at them every few years. With a share like this it doesn't really matter when you buy them as long as you do buy them. Don't expect any fancy growth ( ie 50% per year ) but expect a solid performance ( 15 - 20% eps and ( scrip ) divie ).

Reratings will occur later on - just keep holding long term imo.

[deerings] 09/12/2004 10:09

Thanks for the reply M.T.Glass. Yes i did buy to receive the dividend, but i thought there should have been a sudden upturn with all the upbeat broker recomendations.

[m.t.glass] 09/12/2004 01:00

Depends on why you bought them. Presumably you bought knowing that a dip was likely last Wednesday (xd date) and have qualified for that 3.48p dividend. And presumably anticipated that some who have held for a while will have planned to take profits once their divi was in the bag, pushing the price down a little more. And presumably you were expecting growth to resume thereafter.

[deerings] 08/12/2004 13:53

Bought these shares @ 2.44 just falling since should i sell or hold

[liarspoker] 03/12/2004 09:08
