Read the latest interims.......just make sure that you are sitting down.

Next stop 300p??? Then what?
Soult - shame you quit VLK, 'cos that & SOLA in your portfolio would have made you a very happy chappy! :o)

harry .... you're right about VLK, but one cannot and should not buy everything that moves ...... otherwise you are likley to have bought SUB ..... sorry to hear you had those soul*; no wonder you had to pawn the wheelchair and blanket

Cynic, I haven't got SUB; lost my readies on FEP instead (d'oh!).

STill watching SUB and waiting for the results of the financing.

HArry, I'm glad VLK is still making progress; am managing to remain a happy chappy in spite of being separated from the recent action.

Especially given that I put my VLK money into SOLA and it's still going along nicely:

SOLA Bid: 239p Offer: 241p Change: 8

SOUL* ..... please stay out of SUB even if they get their funding

Cynic, that sounds like good advice - the question is, can I afford to take it? ;o)


SOLA doing nicely - ten straight days of upwards movement:

Today's change: SOLA Bid: 243p Offer: 247p Change: 5

New highs the last two days as well.

And now a pre-weekend sell-off :o)

SOLA Bid: 239p Offer: 242p Change: 0.5

What is your target price by Xmas, soult?

I don't have one, Harry - while I'm still bold enough to try to estimate how the market might value a company, I don't try to set time limits. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw 275 before Santa comes to call, however, possibly on news that capacity increases announced for the rest of the year have been added successfully.

I'm still content to stick with this for as long as the story continues in a positive vein, and might unload some of my non-core holding if I think it has become overvalued for the short term.

My apologies if that's a bit too vague!

A wee bit of profit-taking this morning: SOLA Bid: 230p Offer: 235p Change: -6

bit more than a wee bit, soul !

AM WATCHING BODI SHARE PRICE AFTER EVIL SHORTED . IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY SOLA MAY BE AFFECTED AS HE HAS A DOWN ON CHINA SHARES?

BODI is up 18% today! SOLA is down 2%. Not sure there is a connection.

I'm not parting with my SOLA-early days of a good solid company IMO. any dips are buying opportunities for those who have read the research on this one!!

Bodisen and Sola share one similarity and one similarity only. They're both Chinese. That's were the similarities end. Unfortunately the PE discounts its chinese origin which explains why it still only trades at a discount to its double digit EPS growth rate.

GOTO JTCod 'Earnings forecast page' on the other site and you'll begin to understand that this stock with its contracts in place and with high earnings visibility will reward you well in the medium term. On a EPS forecast for 07 of 50p (average forecast) and a pe of 15-20 then in 18 months we could be looking at a SP of between 750p-1000p.

Personally as we move away from 06 and into H2 (07) then i believe the market will provide the stock with a higher pe as confidence improves.

The SOLA earnings page by JTCod and others contains a tremendous amount of research and is well worth a visit. I am baffled as to why this company has hardly had a mention anywhere yet the early birds are still buying in-some institutions are also in. maybe it will feature as one of the hot new tips for 2007!!

I agree it is amazing SOLA has not been re-rated after recent results. Perhaps this may happen when the company produces audited accounts for the group as recent numbers are stated to be those of a wholly owned subsidiary.

read today's Telegraph re Chinese investments ..... Like him or not Evil Knievel is not wrong to point out that many Chinese companies will be shown to be nothing but "smoke and mirrors" ..... It may sound racist or similar, but Chinese accounting and ethical standards are most certainly not European!

It may sound racist or similar, but Chinese accounting and ethical standards are most certainly not European!

Fat lot of good 'European' ethical standards did for the likes of Parmalat, or Maxwell Communications or many others I could mention.

I was being as polite as possible! ...... Put another way; our own company will still not deal directly with China as have seen far too many lose their shirts and/or their intellectual copyright blatantly and unashamedly stolen
