it was just one of those monday morning thread chats and i was thinking it needed to be nipped it in the bud!

i have to say when i mentioned i was a shareholder and said i was most looking forward to the results she sounded in a pretty good mood. I am not giving anyone some ramping news because she really didn't give anything away but it was just a simple two minute positive general chat.

Well I would expect the results to be pretty good. Production doubled from 03 to 04 as Andy's chart showed so I'm looking forward to Wednesday's figures. Would think that Evo's may put out a new note on Weds and should get some decent publicity.

I just had a really nice sandwich...............

The wife is in the garden doing a bit of ground work for the new garden she is building...........

Ain't life grand...........

I spoke to Sterling today and they said the results are not out this week...apparently nearer the end of the month but she was not sure.

Quite a bit of interest here today and a couple of decent sized trades just gone through. Looks like sellers getting above the bid now.

So much going on, the missus has lifted a dozen slabs that were concreted in, and the stock activity too, great day in prospect.

Shes about to start breaking the 6 inches of concrete.

I bought her a club hammer so I did my bit....................

Back in for the third time, anticipating some very encouraging results.....whenever they are announced.

guys...advfn is rubbish as usual. please make the call yourself if you don't believe it.

SWW...u are all heart

prop, I believe.................

and thanks.......................

I made her a cup of tea as well now................

I suppose I had better get on a do a few chores, or shall I have my afternoon snooze.

I may have to tell her to muffle the hammer........

its only fair...i mean you are trying to rest.

the 7 mill trade was a buy, look at the time, 11.04am, just reported late after the ask went up......

Plenty of action today.

Mind you the last one was a sell.........

Oh well, time to stop watching........

i watch all night...

As prop said yesterday results are definitely tomorrow, the advfn poster decided to really phone the Company this time and got that reply.

That just about sums up why I do not rate advfn for facts.

There are too many made up facts available there it seems.

Can't fault Sterling for being willing to talk to their shareholders, same every time by phone or email.

Good for them.

From a decent advfn poster who does not deal in bullsh*t.

Gryphon2,
I agree, i have been saying that for months.
Small caps are getting hammered at the moment, even the good ones.
SEY to be included in 2 new Indexes to be launched 16/5.
FTSE AIM TOP 50 and FTSE AIM TOP 100, could well attract some additional funds from Institutions.

SWW

have a look on the day traders thread, there is a post in detail about this and all the components listed

fundy thanks, I will.

Cracking set of results, just a snippet.
