It's all ways Boom Boom time for ERT look at the chart a nice steady upward trend towards the 50p and beyond.

I know, I have been wanting to buy ERT (and WIL) for some time now but keep getting sidestepped, putting more into SEO & DGT, stuff like that!

Edit. Just seen your new site, will put 'em on there!

Guy's,

Not a holder at present, have held previously and seriously thinking about revisiting this stock. Sorry if duplicated, but thought you would like to know that the March edition of RHPS has feature on ERT with a 12 month target price of 55p.

Personally feel that Mike Heap is doing a great job here but most my funds are tied up in oilers.

Will surely jump on board again. This is a common-sence play amongst all the insantity.

Nothing like a bit of good news to make the sp drop?

Pat getting all excited after the German deal.

Broker Altium has 're-iterated its buy recommendation on Entertainment Rights'.

Good Morning All

Have a small holding in ERT, having bought at 25p, pleased the way it has progressed and think long term it is an excellent holding. Like the new brands that it has added and the way it has sold itself abroad. Feel there is a captive audience as there is always a ready stream on new children, my 6 year old was into Pat , my three year old is into Pat and my 1 year old will probably like Pat. So there are always new people to sell toys, videos etc to.

Think this is a well run company, that are always looking to sell the product into new markets and expand sensibly, which can only have a good effect on the bottom line.

Guy's,

Not a holder here, have been previously and about to be again.

Just to let you know full page article, (albeit mostly a rather amusing picture), on ERT in today's Shares mag.

Analysts expects 180% increase in pre-tax profits.....

Just read the article in Shares and it presents a very bullish picture of this company, with a target price raised to 47p. I would have thought with a hike in profits of 180% and exposure into Germany, giving them exposure in the 5 major makets (UK, US, GErmany,France & Japan) that this was slightly undervaluing this company.

With some good names in the stable and the recent new editions of Basil Brush commissioned by the BBC(with the potential of more as they have a contract with the BBC until 2010), plus the takeover potential make me a long term holder of this stock, with my gut feel for the price being closer to 55p.

Prospector
Couldnt agree more with all the new deals done and more to come the sp will inevitably rise over 2006.

Have looked further at the article in Shares which is very bullish of the share and the forthcoming results. Then I flicked to the forthcoming results page at the back of the addition and they were not quite so bullish about the prospects for the results. Surprising when you consider the expectations are for a big jump in profits.
