This is a funny one; now that the results are out, what do investors think? This stock is at mid-recovery level - and yet the company has posted a profit after a 14m loss last year. Some are even predicting with measure that the price will hit 100p in the next 24 months (given fair to good market conditions). Yet, the knee-jerk to results was negative, based on training downturn. But recruitment looks good at PTY.

Any other holders here? Any other views?

this kat does not like pigeons

TFC is going to make a remarkable recovery on monday

looks like this is going up tomorrow, rumours of takeover getting much stronger now

you'll be lucky, its probably nothing

yer right.... well go away then

Freedom of speech Katcenka, freedom of speech....

spose your right..

people on adv f n. talking about 16p a share ;-) yummy rock on tomorrow

I think they just said they were *hoping* of 16p a share.

So who is John L M Hughes of Spearhead Group, then?

Well isn't John LM Hughes the chairman of Parity and who is responsible for notifying the exchange?

I have no idea who Sprearhead Group are!

Some intersting developments here - around 50m shares bought in last 3-4 days (c 15% of company - all at 8p).

It's a question of what price the takeover, non?

I must say I think PTY remains a very interesting play. A potential take-over and counterbid are no longer pie in the sky but a very real possibility. For some reason, the stock has been overlooked by private investors - maybe understandable with 75% of iussued shares in the hands of institutions. Expect calm followed by frenzy with this one.

PS
Check out the ADVFN Free board (I hope I'm allowed to say that) on PTY - some sensible and interesting discussions there - imho.

Anyone still in - not for the faint-hearted but quite a big upside here - even now, with a bid required to be made by 3 March 2006.

Happy Camping!

pd1000 I just don't get this share - after much falling I bought at 7.5 pence (for recovery) but quite soon the market was to learn of a 50:1 consolidation - so my shares should be worth the same, only fewer in number.
However, they are now worth 50p-ish which is far off ( 7.5 x 50=3.75) - so what has happened?
How could the value slip so badly. eh?

Do I have vague memories of some debt-for-equity deal? so punters pay for the Bank's mistakes? Is there a chance the sp can rise to where it should be or is this a closed book? At present price, it's hardly worth selling.

Wow - nearly a year later and we are still looking at 65p-ish to sell(70p to Buy)....so the fall was indeed real and I've been suckered-in...Oh double dear!
Won't be long and the brokers will be fiddling with the shares again....maybe 10:1 to bring them to the 10p region.....Grr!

Debt for equity I suspected, but still no comments?

Bit of a coup, or short-term fix?
Selling the training group has raised 4.7m - yet the Mkt Cap is just 8m, so does that mean half the sp is supported by cash - or am I staring into an abys - an earlier black-hole?

This needs to do a lot before it is worth the price when CONsolidated, as I recall... Anyone fill-in current news etc. I hold from CONsolidation - see earlier post the shares need to grow to 3.75 - that's some rise, is it ever possible?

Those looking for 10-baggers....take note!

EDIT-(6Nov08)-up 12% on just 5k-worth of Buys (no sells), as we expect from MM's, eh?, ( 12p -today)
