Any views on where this stock might be headed?
Its already down by 250 from its high of just a few weeks back and if i knew anything about charts,WHICH I DON,T,maybe it is time to cash a few in

I am on holiday in London do they have a beach

i don't believe you, not least because your past record gives good cause.

we all believe your initial story and that you had a single s/b at 100 tics (not 3/400 placed via several companies as at least intimated)
however, your subsequent story about your new long being "cancelled" at 1654 is bollocks - stopped out at a loss through lack of margin maybe, but that is far from the same

that said, yes i do think AU fall now heavily o'done and bought a few myself at 1625

Blimey ! Clubman....good call.....

holiday in london (just 5 days!?) with your wife having a boob job apparently - or that was the story a couple of months back

Thank you rf
Good call Cynic
Easy money on this one

so far yes ... as a very modest initial outlay am trying for another small batch at 1639 ..... which has now been filled

Boob job completed June thank you for your interest clinic.

Clinic I think it will rise but will fall again before close be careful. I have to take my Princess shopping today, and she wants to visit the crown jewels.

Stop placed @ 1590 while I visit HM and raghead store

i take it she doesn't want to touch yours as she knows where they've been!

shall watch AU carefully, but shall prob cash in profit today

Good call IMHO

She worships Clubbies even though they have fallen a bit.

Told her I made 5,000 modest I am

already out at 1672, maybe a bit early but who cares as just done it over breakfast coffee ..... only a modest profit but it'll pay for a couple of very nice dinners!

=======

clubby - you're a real toser far too much of the time, but it would have been entertaining to have met for a drink ..... if you change your mind, let me know

Kosher I assume

the Q is kosher; the drinks (thank God!) would not be!

Blood of Palestinians maybe

a serious Q however .... as i said, wentworth is a delightful place for drinks or even lunch

Heard they have a second rate golf course

Autonomy revenue up
StockMarketWire.com
Commercial software house Autonomy announced record revenue of $415.3m for the half-year to end-June, in line with analyst expectations of $412m-417m).

H1 revenue was up 28% from the prior year period, with overall organic growth at 14%.

Six months organic IDOL revenue growth was 24%; organic growth, excluding professional services, was 18%.

Gross profits were $363.4m, up 26% from H1 2009; gross margins at 88%.

The group enjoyed record H1 profit before tax of $182.7m, up 24% from H1 2009.

H1 fully diluted EPS was $0.53 (within the range of analyst expectations of $0.52-$0.55), up 22% from H1 2009 (IFRS: $0.42, up 17%).

Cash conversion for the second quarter was 98% (Q2 2009: 66%), and for the first half of 2010 was 93% (H1 2009: 72%).

Dr Mike Lynch, Group CEO, said: "The first half of 2010 continued to show a gentle recovery with discretionary spend continuing. In considering the macro environment our customers are positive but still cautious. We saw continued positive moves in the 'Power' and OEM parts of our business. The 'Promote' area is starting to convert its great promise into sales as a lot of pre-recovery work is being undertaken by our customers and the 'Protect' part of the business has seen a number of high profile corporate and regulatory events underpin its continuing strength. The ability to understand the meaning of information and breadth of capabilities IDOL offers on a single platform meant that our competitive position remains strong and was recently recognised by independent analysts at IDC, who acknowledged Autonomy to be the world's leading provider of archiving, search and discovery solutions."

"The OEM business continues to be our fastest growing revenue stream, and we see a powerful networking effect underway as IDOL further penetrates the entire spectrum of enterprise software applications. The shift to new delivery models is ongoing and Autonomy continues to operate the world's largest private cloud computing platform, with SaaS contributing over a quarter of Group revenues in the first half of 2010. We also continue to see a growing interest in our "Promote" solutions and we now see multi-million dollar deals in the pipeline for Meaning Based Marketing, where we believe there is pent-up demand. The strategic success of the recent MicroLink acquisition has already become apparent with a multi-million dollar contract signed directly with a US federal customer during the second quarter. Our government business, which is mainly focused on national security, has proved robust in the current climate of curtailed government expenditure and we do not expect to see any deterioration in this area."

Lynch concluded: "Given the continuation in the improvement of the macro environment, we took advantage of opportunities to improve the brand reach of the company by entering into new marketing arrangements. The robust demand backdrop and solid execution led to record revenues and EPS in the second quarter and first half of 2010, with strong cash generation. As in previous years, we expect to see the usual seasonality and unpredictability of the split of revenues between Q3 and Q4. Overall we face the rest of the year with a strong balance sheet, and in light of the continuing macro recovery, we are confident in our ability to continue to deliver strong growth for the full year."

IMHO 1250 is a fair value market price for this stock but maybe only go to this if the Doctor sells.

wentworth - not now richard caring's spent about 7m on revamping/rejuvenating the west .... 8th and 18th greens will need a further tweak this autumn/winter for 2011, but it is now a very serious test and the greens are 150% better, though they need another year or two before they can keep them cut tight

east is the shortest cost, but much under-rated and an excellent test for most amateurs, especially off the back tees.

south (edinburgh) - until the revamp of the west, we all reckon this was the sternest test ..... arguably too many doglegs, but a damn good course

You want to try and play Bangkok courses, 36 degrees 98% humidity.
The caddies are great they do an all in fee before and after the game.
