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.

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.

Gav

Up on a down day, very nice.

Some large trades today also which make interesting reading. Institutional buying maybe ?

Hedge fund buying in !!!

capa

so is this the start of a little run? see the results will be out soon accoridng to their website

Should be a good run up to the results, which I think will be good. Added some more last week, waited for a pullback but it didn't happen. Results were out last year on 22/10 if I remember correctly.

Bit miffed about missing chance to buy at under 30p the other day, not sure now whether this is going to drift down to that level again. Thinking about adding right this minute, whats a penny when these are likely to be 40p+ come interims next month.

capa

Blow it, thats my 7,000 at 32.25 :-)

NMI results look good


capa

Capa, Snap! Felt the same last week, waited for a pullback, didn't happen so took the chance and bought more. Over the last few days, end of last week, some decent sized buys. The way I saw it was long term hold for me so what was a penny or two!

Gav

Gav, agree totally. Nice to buy at the bottom of a dip but how many times to you get it right? Best to look at the wider picture and buy on value and if a dip occurs all the better.

My holding on these is 67,000 now at an average of 25p, started buying at 18.25p and been averaging up ever since. :-)

capa

Looks like that T trade was holding things up, should get motoring now.
