As the end of the year approaches it's time to pick where our rewards will be in 2007. My hot picks are already starting to perform but have much further to go IMO. SOLA, EPY and CCH.

GVC now 141. Was 82 a few weeks ago. Assume you all give gambling stocks a wide berth post American ruling. Which of course, is why it is time to be interested. :-)

5 or t/o target in mid-term.

GVC almost doubled in a couple of months. Nice.

well done-I missed that one.

If it gets back to 4 you're laughing all the way!! Why the rise do you think? I'm sitting in sbt and prty so no spare at the moment.

New CEO.
German situation become clearer.
USA not the main focus for GVC.

gvc still doing nicely. 3 short term.

Anyone else into Endace? "significantly ahead of expectations" plus strong orders for new products.

GVC currently on p/e of 4 (The times)

Divi soon - it's rather large.

6% rise today.

* Recommended final dividend of 13p per share (gross) to be paid on 29 May 2007 (2005: 21p per share).
The total dividend for the year of 26p per share (2005: 42p per share) represents a yield of 17.7%
on last night's closing price
* Turnover of 40.6 million (2005: 40.4 million)
* Gross margin 72% (2005: 76%)

As you say, zscrooge, a good divi, but it's interesting to see that neither turnover or gross margin has improved over the last year. Presumably with the foray in to the Italian market, these should improve?

Indeed Harry. Also, Germans will have to play ball soon imho.

NDH looks promising but the vertical cliff might look a little scary.

Missed the boat or still some mileage in that one (NDH)? No history to go on.

Chart looks like it needs a breather?

No stock around.
Forward pe of about 5.5
Should capture 10-20% of the HIPS market.

IC tip recently (I know -kiss of death LOL)
http://networkdataholdings.co.uk/pdf/investors-chronicle-article-ripped.pdf

Researcher Edison forecasts profits of 2.4m in 2007 and 6.4m in 2008

Shares mag:-
""Chief Executive Richard Griffiths is confident HIPS will turn out to be a massive money-spinner for the firm. He says that over 1.8 million HIPS will need to be produced each year and coming in at a retail price of around 500 per pack, the overall market should add up to around 900 million a year"

Here's one for the future - Red24 (redt) was ARC... not everyone's cup of tea but might, just might, be about to finally come good.. (IMHO,DYOR)

Zscrooge, interesting comments about NDH. Thanks for posting. I thought it looked a bit too risky yesterday and am glad I didn't buy, as I was sorely tempted at one point.

However, it's good to see those earnings projections and I would certainly consider this as one for the longer term.

I was a bit worried about their cash position, too, as they didn't seem to have very much of it, and the net value of the firm wasn't much, either - about 1.2 mil or something, which doesn't look good when the mkt cap is over 20 mil.

Watch and wait, I guess.

My tip for 2007 must be KYS. the ~istan republics of the former USSR are known to have large deposits of minerals and the countries that are stable enough and allow foreign investment should now be able to reap the rewards. I also feel that the uranium band wagon may well be this years theme[ after oil + gas explorers last year]. WTFDIK DYOR etc. and good luck

CDN rising nicely-I bought today after a recommend from a friend who has them as his future mortgage pay off! Also EBP is undiscovered yet and is paying a very good div.-ex d May 11th. and finally I'm late in but I have high hopes for TMC the potential looks massive.

This is potentially a long term hold, but also a solid one with the acquisition of Agil, plus the added spice of the massive 'Aquatice' market, not only in China, but worldwide.

KIO

TMC, TMC, TMC, TMC, TMC, TMC, TMC, One of my picks in Jan.
