Universe Share Discussion Threads

I expect a drift back down to 6.5p.

[spud] 05/12/2014 15:57

Agreed David. £ to a penny, 90% of those who invested on the contract disclosure will be bored out within 8 weeks.

This is simply not an adrenaline fuelled stock.

The issue is slowly being sorted and when it is I suspect Universe will be able to pay a pretty healthy dividend.

[fbb1000] 05/12/2014 14:18

hi loganair, I was reading the board and noted that the company can not pay dividends yet as they do not "qualify" to do so - have these issues been sorted? Or is there a timeline which they will be?

[loganair] 05/12/2014 12:46

One day, hopefully in the not too distant future Universe will recommence paying a dividend then I think we'll very quickly see a share price of 12p to 15p.

[fbb1000] 05/12/2014 11:53

Hi david - I have a question - don't laugh - genuine question - as an long term investor are you primarily invested for dividends? Or do you have a long term share price target which when hit you will exit.

(thanks for putting up the Wexboy link really enjoyed that article and the updated version)

If you buy small caps with wide spreads then it is very likely that a good full service broker will get you a price and size much better than a low price online dealing service.

Once you are in a small cap then the decision is yours as to how long or short term your horizon is ! My own strategy is to find growth companies with good opportunities and good management and stay long term until something changes or I get forced out by a takeover or other liquidity point but that usually means I have done well overall.

If you look at the two or three year chart most investors will be very happy with the performance here. Companies like Universe are not just for Christmas and not attractive to traders !

I have been their myself fbb, the spread on UNG is 13% rather a lot for a Company of this size with 220m share. IMHO well worth holding until the results in April I see no bad news only good be lucky.

[fbb1000] 05/12/2014 07:33

thanks for the response dealit. I find this game fascinating - however I always seem to "buy good news" only for the share price to drop and find myself often 20% + down within hours and days LOL.

fbb, on Tuesday their was a buy trade of 480,000+ shares. Trades of 250,000 one at 6.13p and one later at 6.12p put through late, make me think it was broker to broker filling the earlier order. I can not see the share price being affected IMHO.

[fbb1000] 04/12/2014 18:35

Found the same question being asked on iii in 2010 by rising sign and I'm quoting:

"Ordinary Trade Delayed Publication traded as type OK. These trades are held back fr unknown reasons and published at later times. When they are published their accumulative effect on the share price is actioned now.
Im sure there are logical reasons for delayed trades. However there are a number of delayed trades being action when the price is either about to rise or fall. These delayed trades being actioned late often if not always seem to have a contrary price action to the present share price price action. I dont want to suggest share price manipulation because i have no evidence to prove motives. However, the effect of these delayed trades on low volume trading seems to thwart major price movements from developing. I am not sure in whos interest this would be."

[fbb1000] 04/12/2014 18:32

Any views on the 250,000 @ 6.12 OK trade at 16:23? Does it affect share price at all? Is it an indicator that price is going to fall or rise? Or does it have no significance at all on sp?

My own feelings are if a person is selling to a MM then the MM now owns 250,000 shares. If they know a good RNS is coming out then they GAPPED the share price up at the open and they are in profit for every share they sell above 6.12p.

If they off loaded at an average price 7.25p they have made around 20% profit - nice work if you can get it.

[fbb1000] 04/12/2014 13:13

good point dealit! Excellent results in 3 months time should be the catalyst for onwards and upwards. I revise my short term outlook to 4 months. If 6.5 is filled I would like it to re-test 8p in the very very short term ie next few weeks - before any lower support level tests - since we still are in a up wave (- just a personal view).

[dealit] 04/12/2014 12:39

fbb, I feel short term share price 6p-8p until around late Feb, hopefully the result in March will be excellent. My share price target is 10p after results, all IMHO.

[fbb1000] 04/12/2014 09:50

(just an opinion) short term this seems more range bound - between 5'ish and 8'ish - smart money had the nice profits dec 2011 to nov 2013 1.5p to 8p - now we're seeing a consolidation for next 6 months.

happy to be proved wrong as I bought in 7.5 yesterday and was looking for the price to at least challenge 8p and then break out - seemed to have lots of buyers too.

(On IG charts there is a gap which needs filling down to 6.5p)

[baxter99] 04/12/2014 06:14

Yep - there we are! 9th on yesterday's 52 week breakout list.

[spud] 03/12/2014 15:43

.....potential upside of 95.92%.....

[red army] 03/12/2014 11:59

spud I Agree short term target 12p and medium term target 20p.

[spud] 03/12/2014 09:22

As cheap as it's going to get imo..

Interesting strategy in that UNG only seem to announce deals once they have been rolled out, this was apparent in the announcement of the recent fuel deals as well.

It does mean though that a little research can get you ahead of the game, it's been clear for a few months that HTEC were still heavily involved at Morrisons. Good to get clarification of the extent though :-)

[spud] 03/12/2014 07:48

As suspected, UNG clinched the deal - And what a deal! Still massively undervalued on current earnings let alone f/cast. A trendsetter with potential clients knocking on their door.Let the games begin and the patience rewarded.spud

[dealit] 03/12/2014 07:14

Good new contract with Morrisons announced today, I would feel that others will be interested in UNG products, IMHO.
