In the world of smaller companies, readers can expect to see trading in Lupus Capital resume on Monday. The group is believed to have enjoyed strong demand for its equity fundraising, the proceeds of which will be used to pay for its 240m purchase of Laird Group's security systems division. The business that Lupus is buying specialises in designing and making a wide range of products for homes and buildings, including window and door seals and conservatories. Analysts say it fits in well with Lupus's Schlegel division.

lookin' good !!!

The Times ......... Lupus Capital a tiddler to watch

Not many people posting on this thread, not as if there is no news / activirty in the stock.

Theres more than one thread roly ,,,l have been writing on an entirely different thread reg LUP .....On the face of things the new aquisition from LARD appears a very appealing deal . Did you read the half page article about Lupus and Greg H. in last weeks FT --- VERY upbeat !! Very ! ......my only concern being the exposure they have in usa housing market which looks to be softening . @+ J

Amities ..! *****Once our new aquisition is nicely bedded down into the overall company this stock will fly !.l stake my reputation and a great deal of my own money on that fact. CEO Greg Hutchings is no mans fool. !! He is astute,patient,wilful and internationally connected .A man driven by hunger for success revisted .(As with Tomkins which he took from a 40p company into a 400p outfit) . ln short he is a conglomerate buider of the very best kind and has nothing to prove to anyone. When a businessman / CEO / Chairman of this calibre buys 90 million shares in a PLC in his name,his wifes name, and sets up a family trust for siblings you get this gut feeling your onto a very good thing . l have followed LUP from 2p when Stockern/ Flight brought OCTARI out of suspension and via that buy out aquired Gall and Thompson who make oil couplings and the "KLAW" brand .....And even then this smallcap was chased up to 23p on mere froth and a m/c of 10m lol..........................Since then we have come such a long way.- with an expected m/c of 350 m following phenomonal performances - both organically and by aquisition .Our fundementals are strong, robust and progressive; and and our chart steady and itching to be let free ,and yet the market has only juste tagged onto this one ..A RERATING must be on the cards . ..How many stocks costing 19p pay a progressive dividend as a matter of policy with high div cover. ? Thats Frank Hoads strong influence . Do not get me wrong . This is not a charity as its Latin name suggests ,,,,LUPUS-WOLFISH ...DYOR and be prepared for a few nice surprises . .... 60/75p by next annuals . l will take ANY wager on that **************** Our Jewish brothers have a saying " Give me a needle and thread and i will give you the world " Well l believe in LUP you will find your own needle and thread . Make of it what you will . But this is a giant success story in the making . . @+ J. ....

great stock / desreves tto be on initial page of MAM ....and i am keeping it there.....

.mes amities / slt !..After speaking to a friend @ Lunch it looks like the rights issue for 240m) to purchase a division of LARD is well oversubscibed . Looks like a clawback from institutions as with the Aquisition of Scheigel ...........After RI is over this is 25p ! ..BY l/S the Finance/lnvestment house of CAZ is very small outfit in the pocket of JP so spend frugally and conseervatively and are known to love IPOs but equally known to be not the greatest lovers of smallcaps they didnt underwite yet recently bought 20 mlln common stock ....niceeeeeeeeeee ......b/ chance a' vous ,,,,Au fait ! Amusez-vous bien .... ... ..@+ ..J

WHATS UP WITH YOU PEOPLE ?? What dou you all want ??? The moon on a stick ?

The recent rights issue reg LUP s takeover of the security arm of Lairds ( LARD) has been a tremendous success with instiutions taking up over 550 million common stock out of the 750 million up for grabs .Apps by qualifying individuals grabbed the remainder . . Certain institutions, however, seemed unable to attain their requirements under the rights issue @18p so bought in the open mkt. As on the 19th April F & C asset management today nnounced by RNS the purchase of 64 million shares ....Looking to the future. l cannot but see great things for this company .....@+ J
