Amazed there is no Vanco thread here already (search facility says there isn't. Let me know if it's wrong). My biggest pep holding. Price 150% up on a year ago, and not fundamentally overstretched.



This from Robbie Burns diary this afternoon:

"Vanco continues to be undervalued – it’s already surpassed my original target but looking at all the news flow I’m tempted to increase my holding even more (I have about 20,000 of stock). I’m getting more bullish about this one by the day and it could double again from here.

Hope he repeats that in his fortnightly Sunday Times column. Should kick it past 3 in no time.

agreed Juzzle. I bought in at under 2 after they were discussed on robbie's site - I wish I bought them in an ISA cos it looks like at the rate they are going I'm going to have to pay capital gains tax! Good to have a thread on this overlooked company. It's amazing but every month or so they seem to announce new deals.

Robbie Burns addressing his followers yesterday:

"I've.. made three trades... One of them is a top up of Vanco (I know yet again) but I am so bullish about this one. I bought another 2,500-worth... I know it seems odd buying a share at 279p that I already bought at 181p but there is only one way for the shares and that's up..."


3 by Xmas looking increasingly feasible methinks.

Juzzle,

You don't need to search.

Just click on Quote, type in the EPIC & click GO

then at the bottom of the page is a list of the threads that belong to that EPIC.

Thanks, Apple. Did try that. Still came up with nothing prior to starting this thread. (Process is no quicker than using search, and if site is properly sorted should return same list). Though I notice it only says no 'recent'
threads..

PS: I see someone just paid a 2p premium (303p vs 301p) for a quantity only fractionally over nms. Not sure what the 'c'trade ref means though. May just be a deliberately overpriced trade to counterbalance an underpriced error earlier.

A storming start to the new year.
Share price has doubled in the last 6 months.
Lots of buys this morning so I guess a tipster or two has named it for 2004?
