Recommended as a sell and maybe buy back in the autumn in Shares Magazine. Seems to be going up nicely on fairly large volumes ahead of interims on Wednesday (18.8.04). Does anybody know much about this company??

it will come back when profit takers are out of way, like the report says 20p for the time being looks a good bet.

This should help the SP ? (and make a tidy little sum for Godfrey, should it reach 20p+)
