This company seems to be undiscovered by many. Brokers are forecasting EPS >15p for 2005 which even at modest PE of 10 makes an attractive buying opportunity at 84p. I have bought twice and am sitting and waiting hoping this will take off but if shares are good enough for Director Jim Hodkinson things must be on the up. As a prisoner of the missus TV shopping I can see why they should be successful. Most people think QVC when TV shopping but Ideal will certainly appeal more to the masses and now on Freeview things could further improve.
Take a look yourselves but I see chance to double your money at least!

why the big drop today? anyone know a reason.

have no idea...but 47,588 shares were sold during the day, only around over 5000 shares were bought...wondering what's happening...

Oh the joy of getting one right with well over 100% profit and marching towards 200%. Can't wait for results on 2nd March when IDS profits >4m expected or>EPS13. Still room for this one to grow further, 2.50 after results.
Don't want to gloat but its nice to look back at the responses to my first posting, unwanted goods and shares, YOU WERE WRONG FOLKS.
Still got the missus and the shares and all doing well thanks.
As I said IDS appeals to the general public and will continue to grow as will theirs and my profits.

well done andy, I got in after that Christmas trading statement and am also looking forward to March results.

Well done Andy, BTW, tipped by online tip site The Share Weekly on friday.

that 76,000 buy at the end is pretty impressive

capa

Surprised no posts here today.

Great results, bundles of cash, maiden dividend and positive outlook.

Amazingly despite all the above the share price rises :-)

There was a short tree-shake first thing and thenmove upwards.
Interesting the 9m sells today, 1/3rd of available shares, what is going on?

4,500,000 director sales. Majority of which were placed, nothing to get worried about imo.

Capa, Took out 40% of my holding at 150% profit, covering my stake +10% profit leaving the rest as freebies to watch and see what happens. Just thought it time to bank some profit before the Summer and I needed some dosh to do other things. Glad to have some profit and glad to still be in IDS which might be 3 by the year end? I too can't understand the lack of interest here, I was almost laughed down when I started this thread, so I'm laughing now with profit already banked and 1.5times my stake still in this holding!!!!!

Well done Andy can't fault you. I am in since just below 2.00 and added a couple of times from there, 3 my target.

best of luck

This is not a good share to be involved in and you may well be in for some bad news shortly. My advice is to sell up ASAP!!!

Why do you say that then pro???
For info I sold mine a month or so back at 237p.

Seems like a good time to buy both, based on his success with AXM.

LOL

I had a good run with IDS Pete, almost 200% profit and if you read the responses to my setting up this thread, those folk havn't been able to comeback and graciously say they were wrong. With the twats at No 10 & No 11 and the BOE restricting cash to middle England and IDS going 37p past my target I took the profits and gave some to the missus to go shopping.
Still think IDS can improve further but you can't keep them all forever, its only a profit when you bank it.

Why are you so afraid of bad news???
Pull that wool from over your eyes which Kivver and others have put there. This share is a dog with fleas and has never been worth any attention. You should sell now before the bad news hits the fan - or your pocket will feel the pinch!!!

andy

I recall looking at this thread when you started and for some reason didn't do anything about it, my loss. Well done on your pick, it certainly paid off.

I see we now have one of pro's alter egos posting as well as the great man himself, no doubt informer and MRSMoneypenny will be along soon! He is now expanding his deramping activities to other stocks as well as this one. Wouldn't mind if any of it was based on fact, but as usual, just off the cuff stupid comments without any foundation.

Pete

Pete, looks like another thread infiltrated by twats.

For example post 30 of 31.
"This share is a dog with fleas and has never been worth any attention. You should sell now before the bad news hits the fan - or your pocket will feel the pinch!!!"

When I started this is 84p, I had bought at 81p, knobheads told me I would lose my money. OK, bought at 81p, sold at 237p!!!!!
The only problem with my pockets wa157te is that they were not big enough for the profits made from IDS!!!!

Hopefully MAM will take actions and get these threads sorted out like they used to be just a few months ago, too many aresholes from ADVFN on here now spoiling it all.

I also bought this one andy at around 200p but sold out at 235p, how can anyone say it was never worth any attention.

pth

pro is posting this statement, copied and pasted on SKP,CYB,PIC and here at least under various aliases - idiot of the grade A variety im afraid

to all DYOR and dont br mislead by this fool
