Marchpole is one of those stocks which have had a really bad time. Boardroom battles, losses, price collapse, profit warnings up the ying yang.

Now all of those things seem to be sorted out, new management are getting to grips, new contracts and the price is on the up. So much so that Monday ought to see a 50/200 day MA golden cross.

DYOR of course, but I think I will be putting a few of these away at the open.

Socco

Well I was wrong about an update from IC but nice increase today anyway.

capa

My divi went in on the 15th, not a huge sum but anything is welcome after the share was in the doldrums for such a long time.

30p mid price hit today.

People buying in advance of interims?

capa

Super news and super day rise too. What more can one ask from a share?

40p!!! or is that greedy?? well done to all holders.

Depends when you think it will hit 40p! I'm in this one for the long haul as I think the prospects are excellent. Look at the recent newsflow, profits rising, sales up, new licences, paying a divi, an excellent growth share IMO. Cracking share. And lots of director buying, putting their own money on the line.

so having chikened out 28p - a little too soon? sorry if I have missed this, but when are results due - is there a moneyampage that you can see when results are coming?

Last years results were out 22/10 so would expect this years to be around the same time.

m100, no reason not to get back in again. The price may drift a bit and any dip will present an excellent buying opportunity. I am looking to top up if the offer drops below 30p.

capa

Capa, agreed. Topping up if it drops below 30p also. Run up to the results should be fun, and after of course!

Missed the chance yesterday to buy under 30p, took advantage of drop in price of AMT and topped up there instead.

Typical, you wait for a buying opportunity and two come along at once !!

capa

Capa, think quite a few holders were waiting for a drop under 30p of a couple of pence or so. Don't know if we will see that though. If we hold at this level then may add again, def adding if it does drop back though.
