I've taken my profits in this for the time being as I think it is just going to drift for a couple of months until master change gets sold off. Fingers crossed I will hopefully be able to buy back in before this happens. Long term this is a great share

[squintyflinty] 19/9/2005 14:26

Quite agree. Excellent results and now we are back to square one.

[rabbrooks] 19/9/2005 11:38

The market clearly dislikes this share. The results do not deserve this reaction IMO. but the reality is before us. Ripe for a takeover.

[papalpower] 16/9/2005 16:17

It makes topping up cheaper as it falls.

I would expect Master Change to be sold off either late this year or early next.

[rabbrooks] 16/9/2005 16:04

There will be interested parties looking at UNG i'm sure. If it was divested of Masterchange the possibility of being taken over would improve for sure. The company is small with that huge price spread which is very unappealing.Price has been dropping daily since results . It should be worthwhile to hold on.

[papalpower] 15/9/2005 14:22

Do you mean Master Change should be sold ?

The thing that is exciting is that by selling Master Change the debt would be cleared and that allows a large re rating.

[rabbrooks] 15/9/2005 14:20

First remit should be sold as i have previously stated. No merit in keeping a far out cousin in the family affairs.

[papalpower] 14/9/2005 07:45

As First Remit was sold off I have a feeling that we might be finishing this year or starting early next year with Master Change sold off too, the debt reduced to zero and going forward with a great earnings machine like HTEC on its own. If that happened then we might be seeing NAV price soon.

Just listened to the webcast with Ray Mackie on t1ps.com and it sounds very good and all is positive.

We could be in for more news and 30p plus will not be such a very long wait I think, still a wait, but not years away.

No concerns on the First Remit sale and no comeback possible from it, its clean.

Worth spending 20 minutes listening to if you are able to.

Is there a new broker update today ? Buying at full 25 again and for UNG a fair lump too.

[papalpower] 13/9/2005 00:53

Buying at full offer of 25p at the end of today.

Thanks ACRussell, lets us know when there is one, not of course infringing the copyright but a good summary.

[acrussell] 12/9/2005 15:29

No update on thewrongprice.com as yet papal

[papalpower] 12/9/2005 14:47

EVO 23 on the bid and EVO 28 on the offer !

[papalpower] 12/9/2005 14:46

Moving up now, EVO want your shares.

[papalpower] 12/9/2005 08:14

Stated today at 3 v 1 so there should be some more buying pressure now.

[papalpower] 12/9/2005 06:20

If anyone can review any update on thewrongprice.com for UNG please let us know what it basically says.

[papalpower] 10/9/2005 14:42

Some good buying totals at the end of Friday and the potential to move up this coming week as more buys should be coming in.

[papalpower] 09/9/2005 12:08

Brokers (CS) note and Tom's comments on www.t1ps.com now, will not copy them over but say that the Brokers note is confident, buy recommendation and conservative in forecasts.

Tom is more confident than ever and expects better figures than the new forecast for 2006 from CS.

CS saying 2.3p 2006 EPS, which for a growth company is a very low pr PE of only 10, I would agree higher should be achieved and the pr PER should not be as low as 10.

All good.

[papalpower] 09/9/2005 11:57

Yes, what they do for this year is by the way, what is wanted is the new forecast for 2006 EPS from CS.

We should have a webcast with Ray Mackie on t1ps.com soon which I will listen to with interest.
