Piedro thanks i was not aware they copied the date from the previous year.I have always found them right on shares i hold up to now.If they are wrong i will get in touch with them.

ferty - Sharescope just copy the date from the previous year if the company has not announced a date. You might like to write to them to complain as the "Results Announced" ticket is quite misleading.

[ferty] 20/3/2006 19:31

Sharescope have the Preliminary results as the 29th March.

17.1 for a 13K sell, so things are looking better, what we need now is some buying volume to put the theory to the test and see if we get a decent run upwards.


I think from the paragraph below, its not long before Master Change is sold off, and away we go on UNG :)

"If Universe were to dispose of its remain bureau de change units which, since they are now profitable, it could well do, we believe that its remaining HTEC business would then be valued on a similar multiple to other technology stocks. Given that this one division could well have generated earnings of 2.5p in 2005 and could be on track to deliver 3p or more this year, valuing it on a mid-teens price earnings multiple would see the shares re-rated, from the current 17.75p, very significantly. Until this necessary measure is taken, shareholders have - as a not insignificant consolation - a yield of 4.2% as a reward for holding the stock."

Interesting we have EVO on the bid now, and an MM move up this morning to make it 2 v 2.

Some signs of strength returning ?

This will be my UPS choice for next week, with results due around the 29th March :)

[papalpower] 19/3/2006 04:25

Well, I am guessing results on the 29th March, so only around 10 more days to wait :)

[papalpower] 15/3/2006 14:10

Some PI's can drive you nutty, for weeks now they have been selling at 16, 16.5 etc..... lots of them in dribs and drabs, 500 shares, 1000 shares, 5000 shares............today, the price moves up they are paying 17.2 for sells and nobody sells, just 1 x 10K this morning so far.

Funny really, roll it on, lets keep moving upwards. They can have mine for about 30p ;) (hopefully not too long to wait, like a decade :) )

[papalpower] 15/3/2006 12:24

Chris, ok, can we have half now and half later :)

[chris nuttall] 15/3/2006 11:57

I'd prefare to have the solid rises after the results,
at least that way we would all know that the company was
getting stronger and more profitable.

Must be a big buy order jwe, they just paid 17.2 for a 10K sell (they were paying 16.5 yesterday).

Good news, lets hope its a really big one to fill, and it leads to a couple of weeks of solid rises now into results w/c 27th March.

[papalpower] 15/3/2006 09:27

I hope so jwe, a few more ticks up today would also be nice :)

[jwe] 15/3/2006 08:43

On no visible trades there may be a decent buy order in which would be nice.

[papalpower] 15/3/2006 08:31

Up both sides now, bid and offer, still small, not too excited yet ;)

[papalpower] 15/3/2006 08:19

jwe, not really enough at the moment, possibly getting excited now ;)

[jwe] 15/3/2006 08:15

Yes you seem to have your wish:-)

[papalpower] 15/3/2006 07:58

Looks like KBC up on the bid from the off today........

[papalpower] 14/3/2006 13:04

YM, yes, when we see movement on both sides and not just the offer, might be time to get slightly excited ;)

[yachtmonster] 14/3/2006 12:57

PP,

Sadly it's just caused by the mm's widening the spread.

[papalpower] 14/3/2006 11:56

Nearly fell of my chair, a tick up ;)

L2 is 2 v 1.

[papalpower] 14/3/2006 11:27

The good thing is there has been a stream of small PI sales, lots of under 1K, 5K and 10K and 15K volume sells.

Its been a good clearing out excercise and every so often now a bigger buy sucks them all up. This matching of buys and sells volumes recently has led to no real movement for a few weeks now, the real beneficial impact of this will probably come at interims later given a set of good prelims coming this month.

i think if you discount going bust (highly unlikely) there is only upside to this share.

[papalpower] 13/3/2006 12:21

I think he has become obsessed with increasing the div cover multiple, Ray should not concern himself with that, he should sell off Master Change, and then start paying a nice healthy 2p or 3p dividend to us all :)

[jwe] 13/3/2006 12:15

With the size of his holding i wouldn`t think he needs too much encouragement.
