Little Woman - Ihave been re-looking at GET (Geest)
I bought some end of Jan and sold in the Summer with a beautiful profit - bought in at 346p sold at 497p
Now OK the price is not that low now but if it edges lower than it is now - if we get another market 'dip' or the sector falls for some reason I may be tempted to buy in again.
Even currently there appears to be a small profit based on the price that it did achieve in the summer - over 500p at one point.
Divi is good - recent news has been good, business no doubt was brisk in the summer for prep'd salads etc and next set of figs. will include that period.
Anyway at this point its only a thought, but I did promise to share....
Only thing is I could do with landing a 'sale' first elsewhere before I invest further!
