anyone have an idea why this has been flying over the last week? had Hutchings finally bought something?

interesting levels now...

Oh come on LUP. What the hell is going on? Give us some news please!!!!!

Seems like a very long time since we were singing "I'm in the money" !!!

Maybe when I retire.

I agree, such a long wait, c'mon buy something Greg

dull as the dullest share. bored beyond bored.

But proptrade, you were the biggest exponent of LUP since Peter Kay suggested that Chorley was cool. So what's going on?

still long but just have "back booked" this share. i have faith but it is difficult to get excited about this name when the price hasn't moved in 18 months.

do i believe something will happen sometime - answer yes.
do i believe is is imminent - no idea.
am i going to keep these on my watch page - of course.
do i have this ticker on my level 2 screen - no chance, nothing to watch!

Greg will do something but i have far bigger and more lucrative fishes to fry and they are better to trade than watch the Lupus paint dry!

Cool, thanks for your open & honest thoughts. I'm still holding (obviously).

by the way did you like my ryhme?

Umm

sorry. will try harder.

There once was a man called Greg Hutchings...

Go on.....!

There once was a man called Greg Hutchings
whose tomkin midas worked on all he was touching
he bought a stake in Lupus Cap
That so far has been crap
And PT and queeny led to his ousting!

Very good (round of applause!) :-)

i thank you....

LONDON (AFX) - Lupus Capital PLC said it is satisfied with its results for the first half of 2005 with a swing into pretax profit of 1.2 mln stg from a loss of 69,000 stg a year earlier on turnover of 3.14 mln stg, up from 3.04 mln.

The consummation of acquisitions however has been more difficult and despite having been involved in a number of very interesting opportunities the group said it has not been able to complete a deal.

Whilst this is of concern it is by no means a mistake, the board continued, as it said it is determined to pay sensible prices.

'We are determined to develop Lupus along the lines we have outlined and we continue to be diligent and resolute on making value producing acquisitions.'

The directors have declared an increased interim dividend, up almost 5 pct, of 0.132 pence.

The company also said its balance sheet remains strong and contains 2.4 mln stg net cash at the end of June.

It said it is currently examining a number of attractive opportunities which have potential for the company.

"Examining a number of attractive opportunities....." Well, that could have been me on Saturday night. Are there no specifics for those eager for action (not another reference to Saturday night before you ask...!)?

Queen1 - its you and me babe gazing longingly on a Saturday night at THIS STUPID COMPANY! - i feel better now!

Greg is now officially taking the piss - buy something already! my fear is that he is looking at a monster aquisition which is why he is taking his time. do what he did at Tomkins - buy a few bits and bolt on a few more and then you have a conglomerate. i think he is due a call from me...

Well do feel free to give him my best proptrade.

Oh, and well done for getting it off your chest.

Bring on Saturday night!

OK no acquisition as yet. But surely the current share price is not warranted.
EB have not yet updated their Lupus data to the results, so does anyone have any idea what the current & forward PE is for this share. After declaring a clear pre-tax profit it must be really quite low and the dividend yield quite high.
So we just sit back and wait, whilst raking in a nice dividend? My (our) patience is running thin. Maybe a predator for Gall Thompson would liven things up somewhat!.

i think we need some action (AND I DON'T JUST MEAN sATURDAY NIGHT)

i really may call next week. he wouldn't be the first CEO i have gone to meet...

Aah, there's three of us following LUP. Well, it may make for more interesting Saturday nights!
