And yet more good news today and in the pipeline.

[mangal] 18/12/2002 19:21

There has been some significant director buys today:
3 directors buying shares worth £0.5 million apprx. at £2.16 per share.
Surprisingly, the share price has hardy moved.
I think it's a good time to buy some before the market recognises the significance of director buys !

Excellent announcement. Why on earth has Credit Suisse gone on the offer? Is he nuts?? :-)

Looking good with the contract news, and notably with the Prime Minister's help!

Trend Charts for VTG

see this link for the latest:

Positive candidate (21 Nov 2002)
Is within a rising trend, which indicates a continued growth. Has also broken a resistance level and given a positive signal for the long-term trading range. RSI is, however, overbought. The stock can still rise further, and we should see a decreasing RSI before this is used as a negative signal.
Support and resistance: The stock has broken up through the resistance at 232 p. This predicts a further rise. In case of negative reactions, there will now be support at 232 p.

FWIW Shares magazine has VTG as a BUY. they refer to doubts about the PFI financing but correctly point out that the associated debt is ring fenced.

Hi Jayno, thanks for that. When i attempted to buy online i was instructed to phone comdirect ( they deal by phone at same price as online).
On contacting them i was transferred to a dealer who told me she had to contact MM's directly to obtain the trade and put me on hold. She returned to me a couple of minutes later with the offer of a smallish buy right on the offer price. There is definately something going on........if only i had level 2.
Best of luck to all
Ray

Me too. My broker is RedM. When I attempt an online buy they do accept it, but it goes through as an "order placed with the trading desk", rather than an immediate transaction.

Why is it happening? I do not know, but I think the fact that you can sell more easily if you want probably means that large buyers want this stock and have standing orders with the MMs, or that MM's are shoring up for something they know is coming, or at the very least that the MMs are controlling this share price's ascent and whatever you can get is worth having!

Hello all,
I just tried to top up with a mere 500 shares but my online broker (comdirect) was unable to make the deal. Something about the MM's lowering the NMS for online buys. I was however able to sell significantly more than this amount online had i wished to. This has never happened to me before and was hoping someone might be able to explain things for me before i do indeeed ring up to top up my holding.
Thanks in advance Ray

Will be interesting to see if IC comment on this one on Friday. Last comment at time on finals (17 May) was "good value" at an equivalent share price of 294.

Hi all... more solid progress today on the back of healthy volume. Level 2 is looking very strong so could expect the rise to continue today/tomorrow. Good luck! Onward and upward, mes braves!

[jayno] 19/11/2002 18:35

Yes, something seems to be stirring and like you Bearfoot, I think we can expect to see news before long.

I may be in danger of getting my chart prediction correct!

Hi all - this is looking better all the time! Largish trades, volume up and price moving up nicely. I expect we will hear good news from the company soon following them winning one (or more) of their big bids. As an when that happens I personally expect to see a complete re-rating to 300p+ in the short-term...and as much as 400p on a 12 month view. I'm very much in for the ride on this and have even given up day trading on volitile basket-cases for good becuase of it! Good luck all!

Welcome March

I'm no chartist but my hunch is that the share price will now either climb a few points, hold, or tick back a couple before going up again. Crossing a 5 & 20 day moving average shows a clear upwards curve since mid-late October which is surely a buy position (albeit a simplistic one). I normally like to run a 150 day trend through such charts but the summer price split doesn't allow that. However, a 60 day trend shows a shallow decline that will obviously level off and begin to turn upwards if the price continues to do well.

I presume there will be a dip from some selling the day after the dividend date. This is when wise folk could buy more.

Jayno
enjoy your own decisions

[jayno] 14/11/2002 08:24

Yep, my view is that this is one of the reasons Dresdner KW and WestLB both repeated their 'buy' advice yesterday.

[bearfoot] 14/11/2002 08:12

IMHO this is not a good example of a chartist share. Little retail trade, not much thats cyclical. However, what I do know is if they pull off a couple of their big contracts then their order book is going to go up 8+x current annual turnover (from the current 2x)!

[march] 13/11/2002 23:33

I cant see a buy signal in the chart. A weak 6 months, although a little stronger over the past few years.

[jayno] 13/11/2002 22:42

Investech reckon the stock has "support at 203 and resistance at 232" but is a "weak positive" candidate that should rise further. As their auto-analysis often says "RSI is overbought but could go further" and reversal of this should normally occur before a decline, in effect giving a sell signal.
