Strange then that the SP has fallen from the Sept'05 23p "buy" recommendation.

Hope they don't put another one out, it might go down to 12p ?

Seriously, let's hope that the results speak for themselves and will boost the SP over the following months... I can wait until Sept for the high !

Ted1 - 10 Mar 2006 12:20 - 47 of 141

Dipped a toe this morning and a tick up.
Good timing for a change.

skyhigh - 10 Mar 2006 12:51 - 48 of 141

That's what happened to me a few weeks ago... it went up a bit..then... fell back a penny !
Still it's all small movements.... once results are out the SP will start to climb over the summer... may even get a small rally leading up to the results.

PapalPower - 10 Mar 2006 13:28 - 49 of 141

Should be a big rally,when you think present forecast is now once results are out, a historic EPS of 1.8p, giving historic PER of times just 9, and then new current year EPS pr will be 2.3p, with good chance of an upgrade to nearer 3p for 2006 year.

So it should be a strong rally into results, not a small one :)

skyhigh - 10 Mar 2006 14:05 - 50 of 141

Cool ! Bring it on !

(Let's hope it performs better than ACC !? )

PapalPower - 10 Mar 2006 15:10 - 51 of 141

skyhigh, ACC is doing fine, and it will deliver more to holders as the months goes by, saying that I would expect better and bigger moves on UNG from here.

skyhigh - 10 Mar 2006 15:45 - 52 of 141

ok

Ted1 - 10 Mar 2006 17:12 - 53 of 141

Bloody typical, tried to get under 17p all morning.
oh well should be a tick up on Monday with the
end of the day buying.

skyhigh - 13 Mar 2006 15:53 - 54 of 141

Topped up with some more today...onwards and upwards

PapalPower - 14 Mar 2006 00:56 - 55 of 141

Around 2 to 2.5 weeks to results now, onwards and upwards skyhigh, lets hope so.

PapalPower - 14 Mar 2006 12:00 - 56 of 141

A little move up skyhigh, and L2 2 v 1 :)

skyhigh - 14 Mar 2006 12:55 - 57 of 141

yep.. little & often will suffice ! particualrly when most other things I have are going down !

PapalPower - 15 Mar 2006 09:35 - 58 of 141

A nice little tick up on bid and offer so far today, bodes well for results later this month.

doughboy66 - 15 Mar 2006 09:37 - 59 of 141

I`m still holding these and am looking forward to results which i`m confident will be good.

PapalPower - 15 Mar 2006 09:41 - 60 of 141

Good to hear DB66, and I also expect results to be good and outlook positive.

doughboy66 - 16 Mar 2006 11:06 - 61 of 141

I have topped up with a few more,just went back and read interim results from September just to remind me just how good results should be this time.

PapalPower - 16 Mar 2006 11:14 - 62 of 141

2 v 2 on L2 DB66.

It looks like this time no rise before results, and all afterwards, and not the normal all before and nothing after..........I hope ;)

PapalPower - 19 Mar 2006 04:24 - 63 of 141

We should be this week into the 10 day period before results, I am guessing they will come on the 29th March. Bring it on :)

doughboy66 - 19 Mar 2006 08:02 - 64 of 141

There have been a number of sells going through lately which i for one cannot understand.
Recent broker forecasts are very good,loss making business sold off, contract wins since last results and likely dividend of 0.5p again .
If trading was not in line with forecasts surely we would of been told by now.
Yes Papal bring it on!!

PapalPower - 19 Mar 2006 08:16 - 65 of 141

DB66 I have asked everyone I can ask, and they all say as far as they know things are going well.

Perhaps this time its going to be flat into results and then move up after them, I do not know why after the interims were good.

It might be the comment that H2 would be a little slower than H1, but thats normal for HTEC which is always loaded more one half than the other, however, broker forecast figures should be met !
