i have no position here but thinking of a short here
tip of the iceberg?

[cockneyrebel] 25/7/2005 12:02

fortunately I sold mine at the beginning of July and moved it into WHI which now looks miles cheaper and where results are due July 29.

Very rare that I get this lucky, I usually move into a stock just before it warns. In fact I'd still be here if WHI didn't look so cheap or never had results this month.

[cockneyrebel] 24/6/2005 15:34

Shore Capital appointed as broker.

Much higher profile than Keith Bayley Rogers and Co who they currently have.

Bid coming? Need a higher grade broker to act for them?

Don't know, interesting change tho.

up a tick pre-open.

Reaction to the Numis 'ahead' statment today or the mystery buyer about to push it up another leg?

CR

Stephen Bailey buys another 2.5K shares!

This guy must be supremely confidfent!

Next leg up will be a major breakout imo.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 17/6/2005 18:08

yes, isn't it just :-) And a breakout too :-)

A sizzling reaction to the news!

Very glad I topped up at 229p a few weeks back.

Wow, nice reaction to that Fund launch! :-)

Anyone looking at these should also look at WHI imo. Forward PE around 8.5 and 20% pa growth forecast for the next two year - company saying first four months sales up 30% and business strong

CR

[cockneyrebel] 07/6/2005 09:36

Hard to say - I think there may be someone acquiring on weakness and that's a factor.

If they can double earnings over this year then I'd expect a 50% rise in the share price but that's an 'if', I haven't seen forecasts, I'm just reading between the lines as to what it sounds like they could do on organic growth and the recent acquisition.

Not the cheapest broker around but look good value for the growth imo.

CR - where do you see the share price in the next 6 months?

[cockneyrebel] 07/6/2005 07:49

Fab results and a big divi hike - huge growth.

With the acquisition kicking in this year I reckon they could double earnings this year - forward PE 12-14 and earnings doubling or there abouts perhaps.

Very strong forward statement.

Results tomorrow.

From the interims:

"Your board is confident of capitalising on the strong start in the
second half. We are also committed to growing our recurring revenue stream
through both the fund management and financial services divisions. The success
enjoyed by the corporate finance division in the first half of the year looks
set to be repeated in the current six month period. We look forward to reporting
another strong set of results for the full year."

prediction/expectations from the results CR?

i have reduced over the last month but still holding a reasonable amount

[cockneyrebel] 31/5/2005 14:08

Results Tuesday - RNS just out.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 26/5/2005 11:25

16.7K protected buy - reckon this has been filled over the past few days.

Nice to see, just before the results.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 25/5/2005 07:41

good results and positive outlook from Brewin D today

CR

[gorse] 20/5/2005 19:10

I "topped up" at 229p on 21 April. Only today has it returned to this level.

Gorse

[cockneyrebel] 20/5/2005 17:11

Glad I'm not on my own then :-) chart actually made a breakout today above the previous high.

[ben value] 20/5/2005 16:51

CR - I'm listening and will probably buy a few on monday. I use WC a lot and they usually provide a good service.

[cockneyrebel] 19/5/2005 12:21

being marked up on the smallest buys, can't be much stock around imo.
