p/w of 10 with sales rising 20% YOY and turns around 80% of profit straight to cash worth 10 in my opinion thats why I bought it @ 550p the steal of the century ....

now out of its 90 day average heading toward 700p withing the month as understand the overhang of float shares out of the way

Stan ... I get 'Cannot find requested article' dislayed when I try the above link...

Nice to see todays RNS.... with Director splashing out nearly 95k of his own money on shares in it...

And a nice positive end to the day for EXPN. Await next week with interest.

Analysts at Panmure Gordon reiterate their "buy" rating on Experian Group Ltd (ticker: EXPN-GBX). The target price is set to 675p.

Not sure whats wrong with the link unfortunately.

HMRC fiasco: Security experts predict fallout
http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0,1000000189,39291023,00.htm

"It seems one of the few organisations under-reacting to the crisis is the government itself. The best advice it can come up with is that citizens likely to be affected should keep a close eye on their bank accounts. However, credit-checking service Experian says this may not be good enough."

...I agree with Helen -):

Experian says that if the missing CDs do fall into the wrong hands then the victims will have far more to worry about than fraudulent withdrawals from their bank accounts. 'Identity fraudsters are also willing to wait lengthy periods before using the data to commit identity fraud and, with so many potential victims, they could have supplies of personal information to keep them busy for many years.' Helen seems to be being kept busy. Full article at:

a light hearted post from someone (no, not me) posting on another website discussion board:

"My view is that some poor sod in the revenue office has destroyed the disks and bought a lot of shares in Experian and Equifax."

:-)

Nice little flurry this morning, out at 435p back in if it drops.

I have just got out at 4.33 with a small loss. I will by back in if they fall probably at around 4.25

Stan .... good timing ..... did you buy back in again....?

No, staying out for a while as I think we are in for some more bad news this week.

Are you still in there?

ED: When I say bad news I don't mean about EXPN but general market stuff.

Yes, was out for a couple of hours - came back to find it had fallen back a bit .... but then with US due to open higher today decided not worth trying to time exit / re-entry..... happy to hold for a medium term timescale.....

Low volumes today I notice, couple of sells moves the price.

Another notification issued this afternoon of Director purchase. So I make that 3 Directors have added within the last two weeks (including one who has added twice).

Agreed, somethings cooking... just a matter of waiting for it to stop going down -):

It will go up tomorrow - otherwise my pc will suffer from verbal and physical abuse...... and I will go back to decorating.....

I sold 4500 yesterday at 4.33. Today I have bought 2500 at 4.18 and a half pence this morning, and thisafternoon bought 2,000 more at 4.05375p. the average price is now 4.1266 per share. Good job I sold yesterday and have bought back today. Good luck to all holding this one. 930 better off less dealing costs.

jb .... yes, with tight spread and no stamp duty it's certainly a good trading share if you get direction right...... my average from two purchases is about 415p - so not losing sleep over it quite yet.... and the three director buys this month are 'reassuring'.

Janet, you seem to be a genuinely decent person & doing your very best to make money, as we all are. Trading conditions are becoming difficult as more & more stocks are seeing a downturn. Most people on these boards, I hope, are decent people who are trying to share ideas & strategies, but in my opinion you need to be aware that not everyone is the same. Please only tell us the price at which you bought, which is certainly interesting as the entry point to EXPN is really tricky at the moment. It is unwise to also reveal the quantity. You used to do the same on the PRTY thread with scary amounts of money!
Just my opinion & I wish the world was a safe place, but it's not. I wish you luck with your EXPN investment.

Harry ..... agreed.

Despite Experian warning about H2 business, then some parts of their operation are doing quite nicely as regards year on year increase:

PriceGrabber.com(R), a part of Experian, announced earlier today that the shopping comparison site has received an initial increase in traffic to merchants of 54 percent year over year as of 12 p.m. noon PST on this "Cyber Monday." Statistics during the busy shopping weekend show strong growth and momentum going into the holiday season.
