Yep, great day here :-) Possibly no trading update if they have given the results date - they don't normally do one tho. Nice buys today, perhaps some SCSW comment or a re-tip on Sat. Lovely high divi ISA-able stock to be holding imo. CR

Having another good day CR:-) I wonder if there will be a trading update? Looking back through previous RNSs they don't normally supply them at this time of year...?

[cockneyrebel] 09/1/2013 12:53

several large trades yesterday. CR

[cockneyrebel] 08/1/2013 14:38

Broken out through March 07 high today - test of that 176p level soon? SCSW out this week end - they tipped this as heading to £2 a couple of issues ago. CR

Results due for release on 26th Feb

[cockneyrebel] 04/1/2013 14:37

A steep uptrend and through that resistance area on the chart CR

[cockneyrebel] 03/1/2013 10:58

SCSW reckoned these were going to £2 and said that rather confidently imo. Reckon these will rally off the next trading statement. The way they put out the revised way to view their performance suggests they want how well they are doing to be crystal clear imo. New recent highs today. CR

[sportbilly1976] 03/1/2013 10:48

gradually working through the resistance area at 150-160...once through next stop is the high at 180/182 Hopefully the forthcoming trading update will give the stock the required impetus

[cockneyrebel] 27/12/2012 17:49

Hmmm, what about the move to digital? They are going to need far less staff as they can scan the data in accurately. Margins are set to soar imo. This will be a different business going fwd as far as growth goes. And with net debt down by about £10m over last year. Was a chunky £500k share-buy by the new FD at around this level too - directors here may have been good buyers in the past but £500k worth is a sizeable buy imo. CR

[mryesyes2] 27/12/2012 11:47

the problem here is that it's easier to innovate and woo internationally if you are pearsons, owners of the ft, but if your background, that is not wholly the past is tawdry uk trade mags where the ad guys lunch at subways with the editors it's less easy to stand out even in singapore as they found........ or find the last place books still sell on content, lawyers offices, university bookshops paying a good dividend, has always had a history of director buys was above current share price as recently as Q1 2011 and very volatile back in 1999 when all it did were hospital waste news, nuclear power intl and modern power systems etc "with a free ad on our website" they were over £4 no dilutions since then, the certs from then would still be valid trick is to be prepared to reduce / get out, time to have got in was sub £1 the swings are lengthy if they go against you, and their is no floor now they have sold so much of the old core uk boring stuff

Positive news...looks to be ending the year well. Here's to a positive update in the New Year

[cockneyrebel] 24/12/2012 11:35

RNS Number : 1939U Wilmington Group Plc 24 December 2012 24 December 2012 Wilmington Group plc Property Sale Wilmington Group, the provider of Information, Compliance, and Education to professional markets confirms today that it has successfully completed the disposal of its surplus freehold property announced in the results for the year ended 30(th) June 2012. The sale has generated proceeds of GBP4.4m (net of costs) which will be reflected in the half year results for the 6 months to 31st December 2012. ---------------------------------------- Should reduce debt even further and ongoing business rates - WIL becoming a much leaner meaner machine imo, fewer staff and properties - greater profits imo. CR

[allstar4eva] 22/12/2012 12:29

I might get a few more Monday morning if they aren't up hugely. The recent buys in the late fifties also suggest this is going much higher....

[cockneyrebel] 21/12/2012 23:41

That's an understatement allstar4eva :-) This is a stock that'd set to fly imo - ISA-able strong growth and a big yield. Not forgetting the new FD bought £500k worth recently too, at not far off this level. CR

[allstar4eva] 21/12/2012 20:24

You are clearly having a cracking Christmas so far CR Glad I joined you and scsw in these a few weeks ago and topped up recently. I like the chart and the huge director buy!

[cockneyrebel] 21/12/2012 17:13

Well outside the 250 anteater - they need to double. I think the move is down to today's announcement. The last trading update more or less said they were doing rather well but the segmental analysis and changes were not that clear to most investors. Brokers hinted at upgrades coming later then too. Today lays out the data in a way in which they can publish clear comparisons at the next trading update and results that give clear comparisons. SCSW had spoken to the co and reckoned these were going to £2. The current yield is still just under 5% and we are goin to be looking at strong growth here imo. Good growth of sales and a large divi is hard to find imo. Once these start moving they tend to go a bit relentless, day after day nearly, as they did a few months back.

Is Wilmington close to moving out of FTSE Small cap Index and into FTSE 250? If it does move into new index, a lot more institutions will look at it. Hopefully shares will head towards 2 year high of 180p.

[cockneyrebel] 21/12/2012 15:56

Starting to motor - looks like naff all stock about either now :-) Been waiting for this :-) CR

[sportbilly1976] 21/12/2012 15:34

Nice to see the split and I agree, it will make it plain which elements are performing well (and also how well). there is noway i would release such info unless you were confident that all segments were performing well...nowhere to hide bad numbers with this info

[cockneyrebel] 21/12/2012 07:55

Well that should make the forthcoming trading statement crystal clear how well they are doing with this to compare too imo. Probably why they have published it now imo. Been creeping up in recent days and at new recent highs. CR

[sportbilly1976] 20/12/2012 12:00

breakout a bit misleading at the moment due to the large spread...an AT on the sell side and it will appear a false breakout. tbh, with the buys recently I wouldn't expect it, but just an observation

[cockneyrebel] 17/12/2012 11:14

I think there's likely to be a trading update late Dec or early Jan. On the broker note afte the recent update it said 'we aren't upgrading "yet" ' or words to that effect, which suggested it was a matter of time imo. Going through the revcent resistance tho and a bit of narrowing on the spread and we might get that rally imo. CR
