Now, following a couple of acquisitions(all interesting developments) the price of SOR sagged rather dramatically as surplus stock was disposed of. Perhaps it has all, now, gone and the REAL buyers are taking over. This one could be a high flyer and it is part of the Bob Holt(Mears) empire. Is anyone else following this one?

The results were quite reasonable, the prospects even better. There seems a real feeling that this one IS going to move and even the Press are beginning to get the tenor of it. It always takes a while to establish an interest but things could not be better at this stage.

By the way. Keep you eye open for the other one - Wyatt.

The other posters seem content to scrat around on nonsense shares. Heres one that has put on 50% in around eight weeks....and theres MORE to come. But you folk dont want reality,you prefer rumor and price rigging and all the other things that make life so exciting AND EXPENSIVE. Find a couple of dependable horses, maybe even three or four, and forget all the trash....but dont stop reading the postings cos every so often comes a guy who HAS got a good idea and is prepared to share it (having got into the stock himself, first) Forget the rampers and riggers, look for sensible news and good ideas.

Morning hilldee. I quite like Supporta (Pat Lay of LES has short-listed it for his share of year for 2005). My personal preference is CFG, recent float and in domiciliary care too, more cash lower market cap than SOR. Have started a separate thread. Good luck with SOR. Agree with you about 'trendy'!!

Here's the article, incase you missed it.:
"A supporter of Supporta

I'VE said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm a supporter of Supporta the company that supplies care workers in the home, mostly paid for by local authorities and the National Health Service.

Chairman John Jasper and chief executive Gavin Kaye were in town this week, together with Rhiannon Jenkins (who I would vote as the most attractive finance director of a public company). They were here to announce a doubling of turnover to 8.2m in the six months to end-September and a pre-tax profit of 35,000 against a loss of 698,000 in the same period last year.

It has also sold four of its non-core recruitment businesses for 640,000 plus an earn-out payment on those businesses for the period to March 2006.

With 1.3m in the bank, Supporta is in a strong position to add to its core operations through acquisition in what is still a diverse market. Already the company employs 700 to 750 support staff who are booked to work 16,500 hours a week between them, and this is a market where this is a shortage of up to 40% in trained staff.

With offices in London, Birmingham and Newcastle, the company is looking to open in Glasgow early next year.

In the last month of the first half-year Supporta bought Quality Care, who have since been awarded a new contract by Brent local authority worth more than 5m of revenue over the next five years. Tenders are out with 'a number of new local authorities both in London and in the Midlands and Scotland.'

The shares which were trading at 36.5p early this year rose 1p to 58.5p on the news. A warning however: they could be a contender for my share for 2005, and that might be too much of a burden for them to carry."

Thanks for that -Hawick. I had missed the Pat Lay article and appreciate your reprise. Also intend to look at CFG (which had, also, passed me by). Your sort of contribution is required in the postings.

No prob hilldee, I prefer to trust my own efforts than those who prefer quips! Keeping SOR on my watchlist as I think the restructuring will be seen positively by the market in time. Thanks for your suggestion.

Hey - Hawick. Have just been assessing the recent news on Mears and found a reference to an outfit called TEL (current price a VERY wide 3 -4) BUT there does seem merit in the outffit and have added it to my watch list...see what you think and report back, should you wish, on this SOR site.

Hi Hilldee apologies for not replying, simply that it is not a stock I follow and therefore would be daft for me to comment. Will try and take a look but very busy till new year.

hilldee - could you put a chart in your write up in the top? It'll make this thread a bit more interesting ;-)!

This share is still creeping upwards - just wish it did it quicker!!!!!!

I dont subscribe to packing the postings full of stuff. It takes so long to scroll down some of these sites my patience wont hold out. Charts are available at other sites AND at Moneyam

I agree too much info in the "headings" can be a bit much - but I need something to keep my interest in a thread - or I don't bother read them.

One chart, or initial detail updated from time to time keeps it interesting. Short & simple and upto date. If I have to spend my time checking out individual charts & info away from the threads - I won't have the time to read or post onto threads....

we all have our hang ups

Its nothing to do with hang ups - but lack of time!

I was just trying to support this thread - but you obviously don't think I should bother!
