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 ???

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.

lupus is falling with the 250. Nothing has changed in fundamentals. I continue to hold.
Any body there buy Aussie stocks? I was out there Jan and met some very big share holders in Marion Energy. This co is drilling for gas in USA and has had big finds. I bought Jan at 63cents. Current A$1.50. Several big holders (10million shares plus between them) say they won't sell out until A$2 but may expect $A3. Try asx.com and enter ticker mae and watch!

TOO MANY SHARES OUTSTANDING NOW TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT MOVES WITH THE SP.

I HOLD LUPUS FORM WAY BACK IN 1999 WHEN AT 10P OLD SHARES.

I HOLD FOR THE DIVI ONLY ANY SP INCREASE IS A FREEBIE

See my posting no. 90
I am now very sober and its looks as though my estate is a "bob or two" down ...to put it (very) mildly
The interim results look/read good.
If any one has read those results and can make a learned comment that will be very much appreciated
So where is the signal of danger in those interim results ??????????
If i recall correctly GREG H could commence to sell his holding in September but there has been no director sale announcement
Greg H owns a good chunk(3.62%) of the company
His right hand man at Tomkins is his right hand man at Lupus i.e. D Mulhall who owns 6.65 million shares
Thus there is every incentive for Hutchings and Mulhall to both maintain and increase the value of the shares
One could buy the shares to-day at 13p ...sadly i am out of cash at present other-wise i might well have made a substantial purchase

From another thread ........

"UPS" (Added by Master RSI on Wed 03 Oct 09:28 am)

LUP - Mid 13.125p ( 13 / 13.25p )
Reason - on the way UP today, as a 12M "X" trade went through the ticker, it could be an overhang cleared,
good interim results last week and trading on a PE of under 8 and the Indicators now rising from oversold
