On 3rd July PFC announced that it was trading well ahead of expectations. Not surprisingly, sp jumped but has now fallen back pretty much to the same level as before the announcement.

While perhaps not as exciting as finding the next Cairn, remember that in the goldrush days, it was rarely the prospectors who made the money, but rather the suppliers of the spades and tents and stuff - e.g. Levis if memory serves me aright.

from LAM thread .....

i think there are better investments in this sector and part of the world - PFC is the very obvious choice

Agree Cynic, however Lam has been badly beat up, probably more than justified and I think it may be due nice bounce in a rising market. Got in below 90p a few weeks ago, hoping for 120p. H

i know pfc are much heavier, and though i certainly wouldn't want to be one of their contractors - they squeeze them very hard - they are a first class company as their consistently strong performance shows

someone RAMPING - PFC ?
As usual ( he/she ) is on the wrong thread and filling down after ...... Getting kicked left right and center all day long around "moneyam"

everybody has different strategies on making money, no long term as you say today but not yesterday after getting out with 1.50p profit.

LAM is strongly bouncing from a double bottom

buy cheap sell high is the motto

me too got at 87.05p less than a month ago

what's up with you you tosser???
metioning that one prefers Company X to Company Y is suddenly deemed to be ramping???????

if you look back, you'll see that i used to be a big fan of LAM but have lost confidence in them ..... i rather feel that LAM's new JV in Saudi is grasping for straws and their only real hope is that someone (PFC?) will take them out

Gotcha

did you see a .......? blind an old it seems

you better go to see father X and confess of your sins

money to the ones who deserve it

misery to the devils with BIG mouth ( they have not bleach to clean it up )

keep going up baby 113 now

what a strange chap you are

magicjoe - 07 Sep 2012 12:46 - 251 of 270
good
all settle now
glad you took the tables
a stoke could be on the way otherwise
and one does not wish that, not even to the worse enemies

magicjoe, whatever is the matter with you? You never seem able to keep the banter at a civil level. You seem intent on pissing off people on these threads. Most of us have grown up and stopped the name calling when we started to grow body hair!

please don't deter him harry for he can actually do no one any harm ...... just think of him as an angry baboon on acid who is safely behind bars where one can watch his frantic antics with bemused ausement

harry

congratulations

re - Most of us have grown up and stopped the name calling ( piss taking )

I thought you were still on the House of Commons

but the way you talk, it looks like

you are on the house of Lords


re - body hair

I do have a petit lady who likes to stoke my chesty

Just enough to look good and not like a - baboon - like others, though maybe by the look of the black clothes they are wearing.

gibber, gibber, gibber Ruprecht ..... you seem to have forgotten to take your medication today

cynic get the certificate ready.

if he doesn't start behaving, i'll have his saucepan and spoon taken away so he can't bang them any more ...... he won't like that at all as it's his favourite toy

Who's the loon and who's Master RSI?
LAM looks like a rubbish company, PFC looks stellar by comparison. Can't understand what the argument is about.

MJ and MRSI are one and the same person ...... MRSI has been chucked off this board by the management 2/3 times for unacceptably abusive behaviour ..... i assume you know who Ruprecht was


LAM
is/was a good company but seems to have lost its way ..... its core business is the building and refurbishment of rigs and similar primarily (solely?) in dubai, but being so narrowly focussed, it has been vulnerable to the massive drop in this sort of biz that has happened in the last 2/3 years


PFC
while in the same sector as LAM, is concerned with oilfield services and development worldwide ...... generally (exclusively?) PFC put out to tender for the various elements required for a project and then coordinate the whole ..... they certainly squeeze their suppliers hard and i'm not sure that we would want to be one! .... anyway, they clearly run a tight and successful ship and consistently produce the figures to prove that

someone could not afford double figure .......... SHAME
anyway, wrong time for doing so

Director Deals - Petrofac Ltd (PFC)

Tim Weller, Financial Director, bought 7 shares in the company on the 17th September 2012 at a price of 1668.00p.

chuckles

re - Can't understand what the argument is about.

All about lies ..........By you know who

Can not undertand people making more money than him and being wrong.
-------------
Nobody made any derogatory comments, is was only me taking a punt short term with LAM that resulted on making 41% profit on a month.
But he said that prefered PFC.
As the market and the economy is not fully in shape, I do punt on short term charting, many years of experience help


cynic - 14 Sep 2012 08:14 - 343 of 363
and this is partly why i rate this company so highly and above LAM, despite highly derogatory comments from certain quarters

bugger off MRSI ..... you haven't been welcome on this site for a number of years, and that doesn't change

That's the way I like it

someone not able to handle the TRUTH

call the ambulance

you should have keept your BIG mouth SHUT long ago at LAM thread, nobody call you, but instead you came to RAMP you know who.

please keep up the abuse ..... shouldn't take too long for you to be thrown out for at least 3rd time

You are the big abuser from the start, or maybe needed .......tinted glasses to see your language.

you want pain have it in your small brain.

as i said above, please keep up the inane and rather personal abuse - i'm sure its cure will not be long in forthcoming

re - insane

You must be talking by experience ......

Gone to DUBAI to cure it, but on moving out of W11 was already cured ... so never reached DUBAI but on its mind.

"domani sarò occupata tutto il giorno di stare a Dubai":



note : saying posting from DUBAI and posting all day long

come on .... you're slipping .... you can be and usually are much more abusive than that

btw, the word was inane

Another £ 1.50 for the bank

believe me the 71.5 was inflated as usual if true it was sold, but "pro" does not belive a word neither do I.



cynic - 18 Sep 2012 08:29 - 1984 of 1994
have decided to bank a modest profit and sold all at 71.5

oh dear .... not only more pathetic abuse, but not even on the correct thread!
