Boy in my class at school called John Stanton lived in Fulham, must be aged 61 now.

Believe me Roly trading sentiment in this stock is quite amazing.. A few weeks ago volume went up twenty fold for a few days with inevitable rise in s/p . Fundementals speak for themselves ; but lest you like like a little simple chartism thrown in - The !0 and 50 day expotential moving averages crossed vertically at 15.75 level chasing the upper bollinger band So the froth in s/p is anything above 15.75 . Now today was the call for settlement on t +10 players yet very few sold their positions . i thought today would witness a few big sellers banking hansome profit but it seems everyone awaits results which word on da street has it that even the optimists will be pleased in a smug sorta way ..hehee ,,Now mms are short of stock after spending all week selling to punters @ 18 to 18.75 level . .only to be forced to rise the price today in order to attract sellers to satisfy another wave of buyersof which many were in the region of 50,000 to 400,000 . This company is reaching that point were its plain literal constant momentum of 23% rising progressively over 3 weeks will start hitting radars of most traders. This stock @ 20p has very little premium as it stands. Very little . A P/E ratio nearer 10 than 20. ,ample cash in the bank to make more aquisitions following its 75 million takeover of Schlegel . , lt has in Gall and Thompson something of a rarity and which i believe should remain a core asset. lt s portfolio is not only full of leading brand names such as KLAW with customers actually ordering as matter of choice .lt also contrubutes 4mg stg to the enlarged group. and on an annuaulized basis has been grown by 31% per annum ,,And they pay a dividend ,,,lol Can you believe it .? A progressive one at that . .Look into it . Having been in this stock since it was 3p during hi tec boom....and in and out about 30 times before that when it was @ 2p after reverse takeover in about 1998 to attain a listing on LSE on the cheap it has had a bizzarre history,,,But a very successful bizzarre history . Now with Greg "Tomkins" Hutchins as CEO and a very succesful management team accustomised to success everything now seems very normalized with the corporate image of a mimi conglomerate . And what with such diverse activities from making couplings and a range of products for the gas/oil sector. to making the cushioning to make airtight door frames and window frames. Also while remaining financiers to other co-orporate clients this company is heavily cash generative ,lt is in its infancy and what with the recent aquasitional size of Schlegel it is surely due a rerating ................................... As for its market dynamics/ mechanics .As results approach and volume increases l can only see its own momentum driving it on as lts chart suggests it almost ready to break out towards 30p and beyond. A m/c of 123 mlln stg is derisory considering assets. @+ J.

Amities / .buyers outstripped sellers by a ratio of 20~1 ..{ 2.5 mn buys - 200K sells - and not even a single tick upwards .....What do mms want ? ..The moon on a stick ? !! ..@+ J ..pfff... Les branleurs !!

Some very nice 300,000 trades @ 19.25 today..Holding up well in such a volatile market .......

up a few ticks -..18.75 to 1950 - somewhat bucking the trend . Nice 519,000 buy & 19.50.......Hopefully breach 20p........'@+ j

19.5 v 20p,,,,,,,,the fight is on ,,,...mms soaking up any stock sold ....as i speak spread is marked up ,,19.75 v 20.25........a tad shy of 5 million thus far traded today .

Lup suspended,Greg in for another reverse takeover.

I've waited weeks for new funds to buy in here. Funds came in yesterday. Tried to buy at 9.53am today, nicely catching the dip below 20p - on-line and brokers too busy to take my call till after 10.00am by which time shares suspended. Very f**king frustrated!

Any views on whether SP will be up on prospects or down on dilution on readmission? Anyone know how I can get a text or similar alert immediately on readmission?

ln Feb of 2006 when Lupus last had recourse to suspend thier shares in what was again a reverse takeover of Schlegel, the shares positively flew upon readmission. The market liked the deal so it added a third of its weight.. Of course, it would be folly to use this example to proove the same will occur again. . But looking at our latest accounts, we are running at such a discounted level to our peers its gauling . Not only do we have a nice pile of cash for a smallcap, a full order book for 2007 ,rapidly depleting gearing , and a P/E of 12.8,and offer a 3.2% div, but in small subsidiry Gall and Thompson we have a company in itself which if afforded the same P/E of LUP would command an s/p of 56p.- Profits up year on year from 750k to 4-5 mlln stg in 4 years; and taking orders for 2008 .lt is a gem of a company in the provision of gas/oil couplings and the trademarked "KLAW" range of products. .Little wonder the board turned down the derisory 12 mn stg offer in 2003 when Chairman , Charles Ryder CEO- Oliver Stockern /and Head bean counter James Orr were sent packing after THEIR co-orporate costs became unnacceptable.. LUP appeared a very vulnerable one horse pony which attracted every shark in the water in those days . Only for the temporary stewardship of Fred Hoad did LUP survive intact. Decent ?/ perceptive? man. . But then came a very large shark with a capital "H" in Greg H. injecting 20 mn of his own monies in the company, his two year patience in finding exactly the type of company he should make his new companies first aquisition. The ultra succesful intergration of Shclegel is reflected by the highly impressive increased profits. With such a man at the helm with such a vested fiscal interest and perhaps something more important - Someone who has something very personal to prove - ln that proving the ultra succesful Tomkins was not a "one off " . .... . .. ..At the end of the day lets see exactly what he has / hasnt bought.......But even without ANY aquisition LUP is trading at a ridiculous discount to its peers. ..and needless to say i am very overweight. concentrated @ 12.75 to 15p ,,and with buy signal at 15.75 with convergence of 10/50 ema so bought a few more @ 16.25 and 18p. .bonne chance et al .....@ J................................

Juste look at the massive positions taken by the cream of investment institutions in a single day . (25th ) ....Absolutely phenomenol. Havent see 5 instutions all buying on the same day for a long time ..............As soon our new aquisition is nicely bedded in with appropriate synergies l see 60/75p by next finals ........lf NOT before .....All illustating what GOOD management can do .....Like a bar of blackpoool rock this has "WINNER written right through it ,,,,,,,,,Nice one Greg ....a'bientot ....@+ J...............................S/D Apologies but i missed your posting , As i remarked to Aldwick at the time of issue via e-mail that what with such an enormous rights issue this stock will hug the 18 19 mark for a while...........................................................and then once the dust settles it will go straight to 30p and by interims ,,,,Qui sait ? S/D - Furthermore l am aware you dislike me ;but this games not about liking me/disliking me -lts about making hard cash so lets make it ,,,,,,,,You wont regret your LUP buy . l originally bought at 2p when brokers wouldnt sell on a T settlement without you first placing 50% upfront.................................How times change huh ? Be good and if you cant be good - BE BAAAAAAD ,,,,@+ J

In truth it's your posts, not you, I don't really like. But I have my suspicions! lol!

But much more palatable when we are in agreement over LUP than arguing over CHP. Funny that.

The French Connection
You have done well perhaps you can tell me when you bought for 2p. I will be really interested to know.

Well considering you are so "really interested" in my share dealings i shall tell you. .l bought into a company called Octroi group ,which despite, having 9m in banked cash ,and 2 fledgling oil support group companies in both Gall and Thompson and "KLAW" products ,were suspended from the LSE ,,Lupus under the then "new" stewardship of Stockern /Ryder/Orr/ immediately saw its glaring potential and brought the company out of suspension and absorbed it ..Negotiations were hard as Octroi knew what with monies banked and a full order book it was a going concern and as such bargained from strength ..The cash / share offer LUP paid Octroi shareholders in effect equated to 2p per Lup share...Mid at the time was about 4.5. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Those Octroi s/holders with large principal positions and uncertain reg Lup future- considering its shares had halved in a year- were juste glad to get something back that they constituted " distress sellers " and i personally know of a few people who paid as little as 1.45p for blocks of stock.....................

Well done you must have held them at least 5 years probably a lot longer.

Feed the birds, 2p a share, 2p, 2p they're calling to you . . .
lol!
There he goes again, 'e is incorrigible!

Poacher,

Why don't you go and fry a egg.

The Octroi prospectus for sale document is no secret Stockdog.. You should try reading it before you end up with poachers freshly fried egg all down your smug face. ,,,,............................Your sniping comments only but serve to illustrate your OWN ignorance and lack of research. ...@+ j . ...As it happens l havent always written on this BB...lf you scour either the MF or AOL boards you will see that when you lot were all faffing about with hi tec stock i was buying mining and oil stock. GFM for 3p, CEY for 9p , JKX for 36p , FDl for 35p,,JLP for 24p and PMO ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and ,of course "shorting" hi tec crap like DUC , VOC , KWL , and Baltimore tec .....oh sod it i cant be arsed. /your wasting my time ........,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,But more recently who was right reg. CHP ? Sharesure,his cronies, and the poor wretches scared of missing the boat going long ? ,,,,or me going short ? .....Yet as happened before with NML, PET, SEO i who was right was derided and filtered . Now SS is only arsed about his taper relief ,,lol ...Not even a hint of admission he was WRONG !!! Like you are wrong now

Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities

Aldwick, since I am happy to admit to mediocrity (sad, but true) what else but ridicule could you expect me to offer TFC?

TFC is 100% reliable in never allowing a chance for self-justification to pass unanswered - a peculiar trait for a genius to bear, n'est-ce pas?
