ERT have been surging forward on the reincarnation of Basil Brush, good performance of Barbie,more promised from fireman sam and little red tractor. Kids stuff you might say (lol)It was only a couple of weeks ago that they pulled back ffrom a bid for Chorion who own Basil's mate Noddy.No bad news , favourable figures expectd for year end sales as there must be a lot that is "Christmas related" in their products.... So why a 21% reduction in share price? in 2 weeks?? Any one know?

What is SCSW?

small company share watch, very reputable tip sheet

apparently ERT has not been higher that 20p since 2001(this weeks Shares magazine)... not geting the credit it deserves I suppose. This year it has promised to have a very successful 2005. Now that it has crossed the hurdle(20p mark)I am definitely patient with this one. I also think it will do very well this year. Lets see what happens....this week perhaps.

Results due out 14th March - interesting to see if earlier IC & Share Mag recoomendations are backed up...

A whole year since this thread began. Happy Birthday! ;-)

Looking for re-entry.

Tipped by Shares Mag.Recent news sounds very positive for Monday's results.Has to reach 30p IMO.Is'nt this also a possible takeover target with such a good stable of characters aimed at young children.Look at the success of Bright Things...aimed at very young children.A captive market (the mothers,I mean!)...
The sp has'nt done much for a year,time for a breakout in an upwards direction,I hope.

This has held up well whilst others have dropped the last few days. Today the buys exceed the sells by 4 to 1 and yet it has slipped back 3 % or so.
What am I missing?

This has stormed up today following the 2nd bidder coming in for HIT Entertainment - possible bid speculation must be impacting this heavily too

& the buys keep coming in - up about 12%

If you compare the sp of Hit,Chorion and Entertainment Rights there seems to be a discrepancy.Surely,ERT should have an sp of at least 40p,more like 60p or am I missing something?
Whatever,today's rise is a pleasant surprise that might only be a one day wonder seeing the panic mode of the market.Should I sell and make a modest profit or wait to see IF there is a takeover brewing.Chorion has dropped today,so traders don't consider it a target.Must say that a combined Hit-Entertainment Rights would have a wonderful stable of characters.

Don't sell you are right and the Sunday Mail agrees with you the sp should and will be 40p to 60p or may be a 100p were it use to be, that's why I bought in today.

This seems to be one of those companies that does'nt elicit much enthusiasm from the followers of this BB.Why not.It is undervalued and does'nt harm the environment!!
The sp has been going up nicely since Monday,nothing too dramatic,mainly small investors...target 50p?A quick profit to be made for the fearless!
The bid for Hit Entertainment can only help to keep the interest in this type of share bubbling along for the short term.

I'm with you on this and I only got in on Monday like you said the bid for Hit Entertainment makes this share look very cheap.

This stock stood up well during the latest turmoil, the graph's looking good, onward and upwards from here.

I know I am talking to my self, but I like doing that some times its less confrontational, looks good onwards and upwards as they say.
Good old Postman Pat


LONDON (AFX) - Entertainment Rights PLC said it is confident that trading remains in line with market expectations, with the continued strong performance of its wholly-owned brands.

In an AGM statement, chairman Rod Bransgrove also announced that Italy's cable and satellite channel, Rai Sat, has acquired the rights to the Postman Pat series, which will launch on Rai 3 in autumn this year.

Saw today that an analyst suggested that ERT could go to 30p soon. Most news coming from the Company is good. Just have a look - from the last 30 items, only 2 could be judged as bad news. After each, the share has risen. Given the volume traded today of 1.9 Million shares, with the share having relatively low volatility, the spread at 2.1% is a Market Makers disgrace! I'm staying with this one - even if its just to get a better deal from the MMs.
Charts look good, with Bollinger Bands narrowing then opening in upward trend. This is supported by othe indicators. 30p by June 15 ???

I started a new thread because the old one had a negative title "mad I know"

Still is a negative heading for the likely outcome on this bright share.

Only 2p further to go and 7 trading days to get to my predicted 30p by June 15. Looking good - all indicators still on up trend. Following the upper Bollinger band all the way, with a nice widening gap. May flatten out before another narrowing and then off to the sky???

Well, broken through the 30p barrier 5 days later than I thought. 15% up on the day and its not 9:00 am yet. All indicators still show UP.
