This company are looking very good.Anyone got a view before I invest.

The results are very good - its trading on a PE of 18.3 which is reasonable and the growth prospects look good. Personally i may wait to see if they come to the shreholders for money before investing as it looks like a cash call for acquisitons/repayments is due. and on the weakness created by this i may buy in.

Aah, theyve already come for 1.1 million.
Investing now may be a good idea then#

Wow! up 12% Friday and another 9.09% today. Glad I got in early on this one,looking a very promising prospect over the coming year.Good spread at 8% as well.

Report out today which showed the company to be in a solid condition with growth up 250% and the future looking bright.

I think this could be a future little gem and could well be on the bottom. I dont know that much about shares and how they work, but the management appears to be top class.

If anyone knows any more on this company could you please post it here.

Thanks and good luck to one and all Kat

Outside/Inside: James Cagney as Ethnic In-between, 1930-1933

In 1933, during the filming of Lady Killer (1933), Warners producer Darryl F. Zanuck sent a memo to his crew of writers in which he detailed the studio's requirements for the Cagney persona: "He has got to be tough, fresh, hard-boiled, bragging--he knows everything, everybody is wrong but him--everything is easy to him--he can do everything and yet it is a likeable trait in his personality."















James Cagney and Mae Clarke in Lady Killer


James Cagney as Tom Powers in Public Enemy.


James Cagney as Tom Powers vs. Donald Cook as his brother in Public Enemy.

During the early 1930s, Cagney was all of this and more. His uptempo acting style--the rat-a-tat-tat of his reedy voice--and his distinctly Irish-puck appearance, created a decidedly lower-East side aura. When he leaned into a room, fists clenched, he dominated the mise-en-scene like a careening car. His grin--cocky, self-assured, masculine--said I'm better than you and I know it. And his roving eyes, stabbing stubby forefinger, and flexed body were a bunch of city lights, exploding like firecrackers.

Cagney began work at Warners in a series of small roles before electrifying audiences as the indomitable Tom Powers in Public Enemy (1931). Cagney shows Powers's brash, cocky spirit, with body language that exudes energy and violent tempo. Walking down the back alleys to Putty's club, Cagney spins, spits, and pushes his "newsie" hat over his head with languor.

Cagney's sulky energy and the film's theme appealed to the down-trodden working class. The film's opening credits offer two paths for the immigrant: conformity or rebellion. The lawless Cagney wears an unbuttoned shirt and open collar that represents freedom from restraint. He smiles, gives two right jabs and raises an eyebrow while winking. Older brother Michael (Donald Cook), trapped in a tight-fitting conductor's uniform, looks straight ahead with a solemn, dour expression. Cagney's anarchy is presented as engaging. Cook's conformity binds and overwhelms his individuality.

The film is by now famous for an enduring still in which Cagney, with lips pursed, hair awry, and eyes enraged, smashes a grapefruit in Mae Clarke's face. But it was Tom's contempt for assimilation, rather than his contempt for women, that alarmed educators and reformers. "Aw that sucker. He's too busy going to school. He's learning how to be poor," Tom says of his brother, a "ding-ding" on the streetcar. In 1932-33, armed with the Payne Studies, a group of Chicago sociologists feared that immigrant youths would over-identify with certain screen stars and surrender their parents' values for the falsely "Americanized" ones on screen. In his popular account of the Payne report, Henry James Forman echoed these sentiments when he identified one second-generation Italian youth's praise for Cagney: "I eat it. You get some ideas from his acting. You learn how to pull off a job, how he bumps off a guy and a lot of t'ings."

Because of these incumbent pressures and the ascendancy of President Roosevelt and his call for collective action, Warner Brothers became a "New Deal" studio and shifted its narrative emphasis from lost-world losers to common men trying to make it in America.

Taxi (1932) was Cagney's first film to take on this new role, and an exhibitor's ad showcased Cagney as a point of ethnic identification. He grins, his left hand and thumb raised with friendly greeting. The ad's art-deco lines and shapes combine with the circle that spotlights his name to create an airy uptown romantic aura, while the copy inside the spotlight brings Cagney back to the lower-East side.

He's an outlaw: fast paced ("speed"), two-fisted ("Fightingest"), lawbreaking ("skipped a stop light"), Irish ("red-head"), and a New Yorker, promising to give immigrants the "lowdown": follow me and we'll fight to make it.

I think Cagney has potential, a lot of operating profits there if they can get their
admin costs down a little then they may well be of value in the future.

Short term and it's the two worst things....Downtrend/Overhang.

Takes something special to break them two.

Thanks guys, I am a big fan of the old movies as well as investing in the modern day namesake of the great Jimmy Cagny--Yooooooooooooo dirty rats(but he never said it). I saw him when he had a special Award in the 80s when he said I never said that, but what I say was Judy, Judy, Judy---a take off of the great Cary Grant.

Those were the days.

Anyway its great to remenis over old movie stars.

However, to the business of the day---does anyone think Cagney, not the James kind, is now worth a punt?

I think its on the bottom with a great deal of upward potential as it looks cheap on fundamentals.

Anyone agree or disagree please guys lets have you comments.

Thanks for the above, best of luck to all, Kat.

Promising statement, big jump in operating profits, still loss making but
maybe not for long.

Another jump in turnover and it should be a reverse from losses to profits.

Watching and waiting for a bad day in the stock now to get in (hopefully)

I bought a few on the announcement, now its look very promising and quite cheap with little down side.

Keep watching Cagney!

MMMMHHHHHHH ok you dirty rats and informer has told me to expect some good news soon. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

keep watching please!

Do nothing else, just keep watching.

Year end coming up, City Whispers are rumouring a pleasant surprise.

THIS IS NO RAMP.

Should you think it is, then please kindly and simply ignore this post.

Expect good news flow very soon-
