Hi Guys back of Holiday but not yet really settled down. Needed the break as I havent had a holiday in 5 years. Just been resting up at home.

Back to the stocks. Well lets face it last week was a stinker, simple as that. Interest rates hike hanging over the market and the tiddlers getting hurt most as all of the extra cost will fall to the bottom line. Lets hope for a better week.

Update on stocks.

I D DATA- hoping for this one to carry on from Friday and start to rise again. About 4 weeks to results so we may get a good run plus a contract win is get to be confirmed.

INCITE HOLDINGS - strange happenings at this company last week but apparantley big orders were being filled for institutional players, in fact a pal of mine on another site who is a big holder was contacted to see if he wanted to sell any of his holding and he gave them a quick no chance answer.

BEMA GOLD - fell back by about 10 points last week on averageish results. Fact of the matter is that a Miner should be judged on NAV and not earnings, due to physical nature of the business.

JUST CAR CLINICS - TA uptrend in place and company released two very interesting pieces of news on its web site that should see further support.

CENTURION ELECTRONICS - gave back a bit of ground last week but uptrend trully in place.

HCEG - another that gave ground back last week but there was some good news later in the week refering to warrants. Seems holders on a certain date will be awarded a warrant for every XXX share held . Ask me in the morning.

PIPEX - changed name last week had an up and down week but I added yet again. Great growth potential here.

NEW RECOMMENDATION

Going to go in for SCI ENTERTAINMENT SEG in the morning. Saturday paper confirmed that trading was well in front of budget and this backed up what Evil Knievil had been saying last week. EK feels that this is one of the cheapest stocks on the Whole Market, and we should get a good run up to Xmas with the new Desert Storm offering (sorry not an expert on games).
DYOR and if you buy watch the spread in the first hour or so, the MMS read the newspapers just like us, dont get sucked in. Remember you are responsible for your own buy and sell actions, we dont want any whimps complaining if they lose money. Only use money that you camn afford to lose and remember this is investing. If you want a quick fix, I suggest you go down to your local bookies , casino or boozer and play on the one armed bandit. We are all adults.

gf.

ps, sorry forgot Service Power Tech - special update on that sometime monday.

I haven't said they pay a premium this year, check the accounts GBP140,000 interest has been paid at the half year stage, now they must have loans or gearing without taking into account scheduled payments to pay an annulaised GBP280,000 interest haven't they?


Goodwill amortisation is GBP60,000 & Goodwill is a tad short of GBP2.3m.


Bank Loans listed at the interims are GBP509,000. Finance Leases & deffered consideration must make up the rest of the interest charge.


The accounts suggest GBP145,000 has been repaid in loans this year.

Brian B, havent said i was going to ignore you. Just two thread spoilers who have an history.

cheers Gf.

Now you retreat thirdeye i prove gfs findings.

not many companys with no gearing and 2nd half bigger sales

and profits, smaller % interest of whole cake.

you now been proved a cheat, you have all this information

but pretend not this morning. posters check early threads.

you see hes a cheat. i go to bed now and dont wish

to see you anymore, you cheater.

Gearing is perfectly acceptable.


It's when it's very high & interest rates are on the rise that it is more of a worry.


No retreat, check the interim results Operating margin has fallen by 33% (at the interims to 3.2%) from the amount stated at the AGM....I quote..."Operating margins have ranged from 4.5 per cent to 5.8 per cent
throughout the period of record and current trading continues to reflect this
historic trend"


Aquisition cost listed in the interims including costs is stated @ GBP3.5m.

Hi....a lot of bad feeling going on this board at present,and very little info /fact/help...just curious goldfinger are you a professional investor or just well informed?
Did I also note you are resident in Somerset,in my case sampled the wacky water in Glastonbury 1994 to 2001!!
Wansford

Btw Sinutab I have mentioned these concerns before.


I have worked in the Accident repair industry.

Legislation is getting tougher (More filtering etc required to european standards) as are insurance companies, they sometimes limited us to just a 10% margin on parts whereas normally we would get 25% to 33%.


I wonder if that is one the reasons that margins have fallen to 3.2% (besides the good weather) ?

Yup wansford was a pro trader up until 2000, when i took profits and bought a business in industrial cleaning/ property maintenance. You will often see me posting late at night as we work when everyone else is in bed. I do still tend to get about 8 hours a day in investing but no trading now, just not enough time.

Yup the thread has gone downhill, will open a new one and bring up the JCR thread so that the bears and bulls can argue to their hearts content.

Been many a time to Glastonbury, please dont ask.

Nice to have met you.

cheers Gf.

Goldfinger(ex royalmarine,airline pilot,solicitor,international pornstar,Economist/Accountant,highpowered business man,). The only professional trading you have ever done is on a saturday afternoon from your 1 for anything marketstall,i cant believe so many people are getting taken in from an arrogant pompus tit like yourself,no doubt they will eventually learn probably too late, when they have lost their shirts,and once again you will have to go and find another bb (if there are any left that havent banned you already)Wake up people are you all really that dumb.

And I thought he was a financial God!

the only person getting banned here is you metooxx.

goldfinger.
Not trading.?
Did you not say that last month you were 58,000 pounds ahead and on another thread that has been deleted did you not say that you were 1,200,000 pounds up so far this year.
I am getting confused...
Hopping.

What has any of the above got to do with anything?

Grow up and stop clogging the thread with crap!

WOW!!

What a BB

My first and last post on here. Back to ShareCrazy which I thought was getting bad.

As someone comparitively new to this bulletin board I find a post like the one by metooxx compeletely offensive.

Wat's happeining to ZOO and IDD going down like a rocket

virtually all the shares tipped on this have been terrible that were chosen. Ok, so some were top sliced or sold altogether (at a loss) but the list seems to be savagely beaten up. I've got 2 of those shares that were mentioned so will need to keep for future.

Your share tipping is awful goldfinger

When buying/selling these tiny companies beware that they can drop as quickly as they rise and if you buy at the top you risk short traders hopping on for the ride down. Some of them have good business plans, great ideas and will perhaps turn into great companies one day but if the bigger market falls, these will be hammered. If you're hoping to make a quick buck do your own research and don't complain to the messenger. It was 3 Nov 2003 when Golfinger posted, loads of other companies that were soaring at the time have now collapsed but some of them will be back. Has your research told you which ones?

Which ones scotinvestor?

That's one reason I invest in Ofex although illiquid prices hold up well, investors seem to look at Ofex shares more long term, also many move to more liquid markets which is often when Ofex investors sell hopefully for a large gain & keep some for free, when others are just buying in.

I did do research on companies that i invested in but 1 of them, i was swayed with what gf wrote - one of the gold shares

I noticed someone way back slagging off gf on his share tips and to be aware of him. And I have to agree with this guy.
Why does so many people listen to gf. Its as if he's god.
