Would anyone know why there has been such a large number of shares sold and no buying? Is there something we are not aware of?

With 100 mill cash and no significant borrowings with a huge forward order book I would say that Costain is more of a hold/buy than a sell.

A sell note - are they on planet earth ?

It might be all doom and gloom at the moment but this little gem is gaining contracts all the time...they will have to be taking on staff to cope with the backlog of work...should be way above 30p this !.

It's up....can it break free of it's shackles ?....stuck in this this 25p-26p range...

time for another sell recommendation no doubt

look at the market cap compared to the nav that may explain the sp.

Well, I reckon that this is undervalued...don't forget that it gives a dividend....loads of cash in the bank...gaining big contracts all the time....from what I gather precious little debt or none at all...not very much exposure to the housing market, but a lot of good government work coming along...main market...Isable....(I'm starting to sound like a Costain salesman !).

Is this about to break out ?.....looks like it..

Thar she blows.....ahhhh.... yeeess at long last !.

The graph says it all.

Good rise today....might go as far as the mid thirties.....well worth that !.

OK ..come on, who put the 1 share trade through...bit risky that...

On the move again...nice rising graph....excellent upwards trend.

Yes doing nicely, I sold out a couple of months or so ago and bought NGL since sold @ a profit, always thought (still do) they were too low, may get in again at some point. Good luck all holders.

Well my little favourite here has passed the 30p mark...go boy go!.

Paul Hill tips COST in the 'Moneyweeks roundtable' today, just 1 of 12 stocks that will weather the storm.

Well this looks the point (see 171 above). sp not seen @ this level for a long time, ok their order book may well be trimmed back, but look interesting again now.

Given the contract today, 50p can be acheived this year IMO
