Inveresk IVS Buy Shares Magazine 31 Jul 16.75p 17.00p 0.00 The magazine says the shares are worth tapping into as new management has a viable strategy for long-term growth, and European exports will benefit from weakness in the sterling.

Results out today. Market shows typical negative reaction to what looks like a poor set of results. But reading between the lines, everything is on track. Lower profits on higher turnover simply due to exchange rates and new taxing laws.

IMHO I would tip this as a medium to long term investment. Company still maintaining a final dividend (0.25p for a 13p share = 2% yield).

It's worth buying these chaps just to get hold of their interim and final reports. They are wonderful - made from samples of their own paper products and contain examples of greetings cards etc. Truly works of art.

Heading north.

But why?

Wish I knew.

these have dropped hugely in the last few months...anyone know something I don't?
