if it can hold today where the FTSE is heavily down, that is a very good sign IMO.

[karldinnel] 21/5/2009 08:21

SP getting stronger over the past few days. Something brewing, I reckon...

[karldinnel] 19/5/2009 18:54

LOL Joe. We must have been composing our posts at the same time. Interesting that we seem to share the same sentiments...

[karldinnel] 19/5/2009 18:53

Yeah, I posted those same links in an earlier post.

Bad news certainly, but if you look at it another way: new broom in charge getting rid of all the dead wood to help cut costs and satisfy the bank. High risk, but could be a multi-bagger over time...

[joe_public] 19/5/2009 18:53

these articles are weighing the balance against the forwardlooking trading update yesterday
Costcutting is always popular with investors and will help with the refinancing deal they are looking for

this is high risk though - not for widows and orphans

[joe_public] 19/5/2009 18:08

you make me laugh - you were previously complaining that no-one was answering your questions!!!!

[karldinnel] 19/5/2009 15:35

wow. this guy always has to have the last word. sign of immaturity IMO...

[joe_public] 19/5/2009 07:56

karl - anyone is entitled to their views - without being accused of 'ramping''talking up the company' 'kill the traitor' or whatever. we can all filter if we think this is happening
different balanced views are healthy and very relevant

Target price for these are 60p over 3 years, if management want to meet the incentice plan. Cannot see much more than that being acheived in this time frame as debt is too large and markets depressed.

[gswredland] 18/5/2009 18:43

Thanks for that Karldinnel. Must admit i am on the sidelines

joe_public - 12 May'09 - 11:58 - 224 of 278 edit


imo some sort of negotiations are taking place
as the statement on the 16th April stated

'it is not in discussions with any party
regarding a potential offer for the 'ENTIRE' issued share capital of the Company.'

these things take time - most private investors sell toooooo sooooon!!!!
share price moves quickly - watch out!!!!!

=======================================================================


This is my opinion - it was then and it still is now

and it is also my opinion that it is naive not to realise that shares fluctuate - nothing goes up or comes down - in a straight line.
try doing a bit of research yourself, rather than rely on other peoples views
if you think they are 'ramping'!

[karldinnel] 18/5/2009 15:57

Whatever.

But talking of questions going unanswered, what do you think of the question about ramping in #275? After all, you were the one propagating the rumour that WHY were selling part of their business in #224 or do you prefer to remain silent on the matter now?

[joe_public] 18/5/2009 14:05

karl/274 - sorry but its not possible to read each post as its posted
and there are many different reasons why questions go unanswered

[karldinnel] 18/5/2009 12:12

I'd say so. But then, if you shouldn't believe everything you read in the papers you should certainly take what you read on a bulletin board with a large handful of salt.

[karldinnel] 18/5/2009 11:26

Sorry Joe. Maybe I was a little harsh, but I had already posted a simple question about whether MMs did in fact make markets in WHY and noone replied. The subsequent posts didn't even make reference to my question, so I thought I needed to be a little provocative.

However, if you ask a simple - but important - question here and everyone ignores it you can't blame someone for jumping to conclusions about the posts that prompted the question.

[joe_public] 18/5/2009 11:11

its a little harsh to suggest people are trying to 'mislead' you and others!

sets can be 'manipulated' and market makers - hence their name - are there to 'make a market'

thats why its best to ignore fluctuations in the share price and do your own research....

[gatdecor] 18/5/2009 11:10

I would say this is good news from the RNS

Trading conditions in certain international markets where the Group has a strong
track record remain solid. The order book for WYG International is now at a
record level of circa EUR111 million. The international public sector continues to
provide strong opportunities across Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans and
Africa in particular, while the European Commission remains the Group's single
largest client. In line with the Group's strategy, WYG is building on its
successful proven track record in existing countries and is also diversifying
its geographies with new WYG legal entities being created in Abu Dhabi, South
Africa and Kazakhstan.

[karldinnel] 18/5/2009 11:02

OK. I've checked and it looks like there are plenty of companies on the main market that use SETS/Market making - a kind of combination of the two...

[debbiegee] 18/5/2009 10:48

I certainly did not mean to mislead anybody,sorry.
If in that case a sets stock I stick with my theory but say the early orders set price,anyway seems to have some rebound.

[red squirrel] 18/5/2009 10:42

Buy orders on the book at 25.0 and 24.5p. Nearest mm quote is ABNV at 24.0.
Sell orders show WINS at 26.25. 5 mm's in total all at 10,000nms.
Ticking up as I type ABNV now 26.0

[karldinnel] 18/5/2009 10:37

Hi guys,

Lots of speculation about so-called market makers manipulating this share. But can someone confirm that market makers are actually allowed to make a market in this share? I thought SETS trading applied to companies in the LSE's main list.

If I don't get a reply to this question I will just assume that those posters here who keep referring to market makers are deliberately trying to mislead me and others...

[harrodsfree] 18/5/2009 10:32

jp - Yes, fair point. Where can I find out what their order book looks like? The RNS is very high level. I mean, to carry out Electrical and Mechanical services for a school doesn't sound like a cash-cow for a circa £300M turnover company?
