why no mention of the 'boring' stocks-which make lots of money? (CNT)     

hilldee - 11 Oct 2004 14:40

Now, this one was just awarded the Aim company of the year. Its a bit likeMears but it has a large GAS SERVICE section and the profits from this outfit would appear to be less healthy than from its Public Service arm. Does anyone have any knowledge of this company which is not cheap BUT could be on its way to making a lot more mazuma.

possibly, but looked a reasonable quick punt to me, though could easily be wrong

That's what I said in my post at the end of June. Thank goodness you talked me out of it!

cynic - 26 Jul 2010 09:27 - 63 of 209

at least i did something for charity!

I believe it could fall to 12p.

cynic are you still clutching the knife?

cynic - 26 Jul 2010 10:56 - 67 of 209

for the moment yes, though i accept it may well have been the wrong call, even if the
bid book remains longer than the offer ..... on the other hand, FOGL is heading back towards the southern basin again!

cynic - 26 Jul 2010 12:41 - 68 of 209

the gods are trying to look after me, for i'm effectively back at b/e
i wouldn't be at all surprised to see some pretty aggressive bear closing later on, which will suit me just fine

halifax - 26 Jul 2010 13:43 - 69 of 209

cynic or should we call you Gunga Din well done looking good!

cynic - 26 Jul 2010 13:45 - 70 of 209

thanks hali ..... very well in the money now, but monitoring carefully

=========

out at 29.95 with a very nice profit given the very few hours i was "invested" .... it may prove to be a bit premature, but i really don't care!

halifax - 26 Jul 2010 14:04 - 71 of 209

cynic yes be careful if you strip out goodwill, intangibles etc they have a negative net worth perhaps they paid too much for their acquisitions.Don't know how their lending banks hope to recover their exposure with sales declining rapidly, reminds us of Worthington(now MSS).

I'm still in from 19.8 and holding for now, but may not be much longer. Back in auction....

splat - 26 Jul 2010 14:11 - 73 of 209

out after auction @ 33.1

splat - 26 Jul 2010 14:14 - 74 of 209

appears to be premature!

Balls of steel or brains of a rocking horse - not sure which - but well done :-)

splat - 26 Jul 2010 14:19 - 76 of 209

definitely the latter skinny! :)

splat - 26 Jul 2010 14:20 - 77 of 209

now, where to short it....:)

hilary - 26 Jul 2010 14:24 - 78 of 209

Don't you mean he's hung like a budgie, Skinners?

:o)

Oh, well done Splatso.

splat - 26 Jul 2010 14:27 - 79 of 209

ta hilarsky.

hlyeo98 - 27 Jul 2010 08:34 - 80 of 209

This has been a good short 4 me... but I think this has great potential of going up now...
So it's BUY time for CNT at 39p.
