Whats happening here then, someone got a leak of when results are?

[haydock] 24/7/2006 12:11

Results:
The pencilled in 19th July figure has passed.
Was 29th July last year, this week or next, anyone?

[scotswhaehae] 20/7/2006 09:01

...and a nice 10% rise off the floor for DAN too!

10% plus for WHI would be nice!

[grinley boy] 20/7/2006 08:40

Excellent results by DAN today, hopefully we can match them here soon...

Any comments on the shares acquisition. Must be doing well to want to buy more shares in them.

[gritter] 11/7/2006 18:36

Seems to be some strange activity on various brokers. This one went down 1.5p yet total trades were 26k of which 20k was a buy at £1.45.

Re trading statement, I have commented on Evolution site that their trading statement is also overdue. Bad news or merger activity? Hopefully the latter.

[grinley boy] 11/7/2006 10:32

Thought they would have announced it by now if it was.

[moogies] 11/7/2006 09:52

I've have 19 July 2006 pencilled in for the interims - not sure if this is correct though.

Are we not due a trading statement as there was one at the end of June last year? The interims results must be end of July beginning of August.

...a little pent up demand coming through...

now if the past smallish seller decides to sit on his hands these should really motor!

[grinley boy] 30/6/2006 08:42

Here, here

[scotswhaehae] 30/6/2006 08:33

Nice to see some sanity returning...

Would be even nicer to see a deserved 200p plus!

Good luck all!

Only negative i can 'grasp', is that if FTSE is correcting much lower, now that the recent uptrend has been broken, then a good chance that these type of companies could be hit harder....far fewer floatations, greater difficulty getting share placing away and a lot of people sitting out the market till it bottoms....imo. Still seems rediculously undervalued tho'....imo

[grinley boy] 14/6/2006 10:59

This is getting ridiculous, does the following mean nothing to anyone when issued the share price was around 170p!

LONDON (AFX) - WH Ireland PLC, which provides stockbroking, corporate
finance, investment management and financial services to both private and
institutional clients said its trading volumes and turnover are "significantly"
ahead of those of last year.
The group said its corporate finance department is growing revenues by
focusing on mandates for larger projects, with fewer small flotations being
undertaken, and as a result the group said: "The timing of completions of some
of these projects may have a disproportionate effect on this division's
results."

riv- fair points, and I'm not investing in WHI at the moment either. I just think even with the bear points you list that it's valuation seems out of kilter with similar firms. Don't forget how badly implicated Arden is in the Langbar fiasco. In a rational world the discout applied to them re "reputation" would have to be greater than that for WHI I'd have though.

[rivaldo] 11/6/2006 10:23

FYI have you seen what's happened to HMSD (WHI's client)? Have a look at the bb comments too - it seems WHI have a certain "reputation" (and judging from IPOs like Diablo etc that reputation might take a while to lose).

I'm sort of tempted back into WHI at these levels, mainly because of the asset backing, options and warrants etc. But it's just so illiquid it could drop another 20p or so on a bad day or two (or conversely rise I suppose), and if the IPO supply drops off then WHI might be stuffed.

Tough call. WHI just doesn't seem to have support or trust from the market, and waiting around for a possible bid which may or may not happen isn't a good enough reason to buy imo. Perhaps another set of good results might tip the balance. Good luck anyway.

[wiganer] 11/6/2006 09:16

If Arden are worth £40m...

[tkon] 05/6/2006 11:55

Fair enough, and neither am I, but it was the Elliotts and Dighes of the world that laid the firm foundations. I think they'll be missed ultimately.

[scotswhaehae] 05/6/2006 10:26

its not so much the founders/early birds I had in mind...more the 'marzipan layer'...but you get my drift...and I'm certainly not knocking Bridgewell...

I'm simply highlighting the valuation anomaly with WHI...!

[tkon] 05/6/2006 10:18

My understanding is that a number of its top staff already have....

[scotswhaehae] 05/6/2006 09:21

further re post 1388...

I've had stick before for comparing WHI to the soon to be tradeable Bridgewell...

Now I know they are different sized animals but Bridgewell barely has a profit history, it has huge overheads (imho) and its top staff could easily walk and start again (not for the first time in many cases!)...

Guess what..the aim is £75-100m market cap...with leasehold liabilities !!

WHI...£21m with strong freehold asset backing!!


hmmm....

[njp] 28/5/2006 00:01

I'm still in this and happy to wait until the good fundamentals here are recognised in due course. Very illiquid, of course, so not one to trade IMO.
