Jolly nice rise recently, and today :)

from hemscott board:

GOC announced friday that a very significant stake had changed hands at 40% above the mid price. The shares currently trade at 122p, the stake changed hands at 165p. Note the broker forecasts and yield forecast below. Usually trade stocks but i think i'll tuck more of these away as a bid looks a certainty and at least over the 165p the stake changed hands. Looks a great growth prospect this one, with eps forecast at 36.65p for 2009 we should be looking at a shareprice valuation of approaching 700p on sector valuation. A nugget indeed and a 5 bagger to boot. Steam in.

Thanks for that, Kate. I've held these before and have come back in today.

chart looks well oversold and due a bounceback to the 150p region, what's significant is the big stake swap on friday at 165p. Looks like we're set for a buyout/bid. Looking good today.

Quite agree - which is why I'm back in. Fingers crossed then!

looking good today, strong on level 2, must be ready for a run back to 150p. Yielding 10% here if you look at above figs.

Continued buying ahead of results on thursday, chart looking up, 25/50dma turning and looking upwards, hoping for positive update, now taken delivery of 7th vessel in December, and reported 83% of year already booked...

Bought some this morning, only regret is cant purchase a decent stake via CFD, however, would like to point out at the same time, that the large spread and illiquidity could be a problem if needing to sell quickly, I haven't purchased for results, again intending to hold for a while, company seems to be going from strength to strength, with forward PE's of around 5.5, seems very cheap, believe at some time this year they will make a new high. Time will tell...

Not sure what market is expecting, but that is an awesome set of results to my un-trained eye...

Just for you lazy ones... a brief summary...



LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Dry bulk cargo car Global Oceanic Carriers Ltd said first-half net profit jumped to 6.9 mln usd from last year's 160,355 usd as revenues surged by about 152 pct.

The company also initiated its stated dividend policy, and proposed a final dividend of 50 pct of its net income in respect of the period from June to end-December 2007.

It posted revenues for the first half to end-November of 22.5 mln usd against 8.9 mln usd last year. It said its cash position at end-November stood at 18.8 mln usd.

The company said it will continue to expand its business and looks forward to exploiting new opportunities.

I think the market agrees with me... lol. Although i am expecting the usual sell off later, this is a great little company, expanding their business and now paying a dividend...

With this kind of momentum behind it, its far from impossible, we could see a new high sooner rather than later...
