why no mention of the 'boring' stocks-which make lots of money? (CNT)     

hilldee - 11 Oct 2004 14:40

Now, this one was just awarded the Aim company of the year. Its a bit likeMears but it has a large GAS SERVICE section and the profits from this outfit would appear to be less healthy than from its Public Service arm. Does anyone have any knowledge of this company which is not cheap BUT could be on its way to making a lot more mazuma.

looking like one-way traffic again ..... still plenty of money to be made on short tack, but then i would say that wouldn't i!

gibby - 20 Aug 2010 21:13 - 139 of 209

short - yep - lol

imo cnt might as well put the closed for new business correction any business right now

they have lost according to reports a meagre 250M contract with I think Norwich council forgotten how many years that was for / they need more than some redundancies to save 'em i'm afraid

still does not mean cnt will not provide opportunities as cynic hinted on!! gla

gibby - 20 Aug 2010 22:41 - 140 of 209

last post - actually losing norwich council contract is just a rumour i am informed- i want to correct this - norwich council have made contingency plans to have the 250M 10 year contract to be completed by other supplier/s if / when cnt go belly up - apologies just want to be more accurate - i can rest easy now!! gla

gibby - 21 Aug 2010 21:02 - 141 of 209

barnet council i have been told are winding up thier 7M / year cnt contract 13 months early -could this be the start of the end of cnt prior to a potential break up - interesting the director buy ins though recently - WHY???!!! - gl

cynic - 22 Aug 2010 07:45 - 142 of 209

possibly a precondition by lloyds that the directors put out their own money with the begging bowl

halifax - 22 Aug 2010 11:44 - 143 of 209

cynic directors buying shares in the market does not help the company's financial position. Can't see any RNS that they have.

cynic - 22 Aug 2010 14:38 - 144 of 209

no, but the bank may have wanted some "hurt money" on the table

halifax - 22 Aug 2010 19:05 - 145 of 209

cynic if directors have bought shares a RNS should be issued by CNT.

gibby - 23 Aug 2010 18:14 - 146 of 209

i think cnt may need to pass the hat round!! if it is true their drivers have had to pay cash for supplies from the few merchants that will still supply them at over inflated prices - and that last sentence about cnt drivers paying merchants themselves is not my words but what i have read on other bbs some saying they are current cnt employees - i can not say whether true or not - passing the hat round is my opinion!!!!

HARRYCAT - 31 Aug 2010 11:01 - 149 of 209

HARRYCAT - 01 Sep 2010 08:19 - 150 of 209

18p & rising!

kosyboy - 03 Sep 2010 08:12 - 151 of 209

Is this company going bust as everybody has said or is still worth a go???????

HARRYCAT - 03 Sep 2010 12:35 - 152 of 209

I was about to say yes, it's worth a go, when it promptly dropped 12%. Worth trading, imo, but not yet a hold.

cynic - 03 Sep 2010 12:43 - 153 of 209

a short's not a bad hold!

Social housing group Connaught 'nears administration'

Connaught, the property services group that specialises in social housing, is on the brink of going into administration, the BBC has learned.

An announcement is expected later, BBC business editor Robert Peston said.

Connaught, which employs 10,000 people, has 220m of debt, provided by six banks and a quartet of other creditors.

Connaught ran into serious difficulties over the past couple of months, after it emerged that a series of contracts would be loss making.

skinny - 07 Sep 2010 07:40 - 155 of 209

Suspended.

cynic - 07 Sep 2010 07:47 - 156 of 209
