Looking deeper than the headline numbers, there’s a lot to like about VSVS and I recently bought in for the first time

What a difference a day makes. News gets out that the FD has just bought nearly £30k worth, and the shares start to reverse the losses instigated by new boys Barclays. I suppose the smart money sets more store by his "knowledge" than that of novice scribblers.

Actually, big turnover of shares on Friday, three times the average. Barclays must have some big clients who took notice of them and took flight. Curious how the other recent bullish broker assessments had no positive effect on the share price. It's not as if Barclays are more respected than others - they had a target of over £30 for Hikma last year, it's now at around £10!!

A Barclays downgrade which has hit a thinly traded share hard. Seems to have recovered largely now. Steve.

Vesuvius chart lives up to its history

I guess I'll take this one off my radar now and move on to the next trade. Possible short closing today driving the price?

Does somebody know something that is not in the public domain, can be the only question here. The PE is massive, and the recovery is just so great in the figures. I am happy to have got out at 540.75

Just sold my wife's holding at 540odd. Got a few left in a Finspreads Trading account.

Nor me - they don't look that good. I sold at 519 and thought I'd done really well !

[gorse] 02/3/2017 10:17

Make that 15%!

[gorse] 02/3/2017 08:58

Can't understand why these have jumped 10% on results, but I'm not grumbling.

[cc2014] 18/1/2017 13:08

Broken through 400 now where alot of volume went through. Seems to have moved up with little resistance. Clear resistance around 520-530 but hard to work out what other resistance points along the way as chart is a congested. Possibly 470-480?

Steel prices rising significantly

This from today: IN THE KNOW: Vesuvius Well Positioned To Benefit From Market Trends Vesuvius performed ahead of Investec's expectations for the first half of 2016, as the metal flow engineering company looks to benefit from...

No idea - Chinese manufacturing data was poor so it's not that. This is now getting close to my terrible entry points between 395 and 420. Huge sigh of relief ;-) I sold all my others from much lower down in the 345 to 355 area

[robsy2] 08/8/2016 08:25

this seems quite perky today.Anyone got any idea why? R2

[cc2014] 22/7/2016 09:33

Panmure Gordon predicts "another almighty crash" in the steel market and thus feels molten metal flow engineering company Vesusvius will not be.. I guess they were on the wrong side of this as the price started moving up fast !!

[chadders] 08/7/2016 08:58

I think the fact that VSVS does huge trade in $, euros and RMB hasn't been factored in. The £ has plummeted against all of them.

[wipo1] 27/6/2016 16:59

Good luck robsy2. I'm staying in cash for now.

[robsy2] 27/6/2016 14:12

I have bought a few more in the Brexit sale. R2

Looks a good entry point on the chart for long term investment
