any views new about this one when investment company now marine company with profits and payin divi and cash in bank talk of new weel know chairmen coming in anyone know a name ???

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?

Ptholden,

Give us a clue, whats the pic for ?

Lupus Capital PLC
18 May 2007

The Annual General Meeting of Lupus Capital plc was held on May 16 2007. All

resolutions set out in the notice were duly passed. Greg Hutchings, the
Executive Chairman, made the following statement:

'Lupus had another very successful year in 2006 with earnings per share up 37
per cent and dividends increased by over 21 per cent. It also included the
acquisition of Schlegel.

'2007 has started off well with record order books at Gall Thomson and good
progress at Schlegel. In addition, 19 days ago we completed the 242.5m
acquisition of Laird Security Services Division on 27 April 2007, financed by
136m of equity and 120m in bank debt. These businesses are an exciting
addition to Lupus and we expect to be able to grow and develop them'.

Just catching up now with this posting ....in the recent "rights" plus "excess" shares issue I have staked my estate
LUPUS is now in share capital size within the top 500 companies ...albeit loafing in Aim. Is that because rules are just a wee bit softer there?
Hopefully the next company interim report will be favourable. If that is coupled with a dividend increase then the capital size will increase as share values jump up.
Here is to LUPUS reaching the "250"!!
I have made an enormous amount of money out of PZ Cousins. From its days of 240p (in about 1999) share values increased and brought it into the "250" where the shares where of the greater status. A year or so ago there was a 10 for 1 issue.

PZ Cousins is a defensive share, i think there are two types quoted A & B

re posting 91 ....B were non-voting shares. However B shares went about a year or so ago and all shares are now voting
Keep your eye on PZ COUSINS ...as price will zoom one day, which could be sooner rather than later.
Do not let the decoration of a "defensive" share confuse anyone
Meantime the weak dollar does not do PZ earnings any good

down again - seems to be in freefall at the moment. anyboby got any news why the sp is falling??

U S housing slump , thats why i sold out @ 18.75

Maybe the falling $ didn't help as well.
