Had these on my watch list when they were tipped in a newspaper a couple of months ago at about 1.20.
Todays fall looks a bit overdone so I have bought a few at 57p

Moneysupermarket.com said Q3 trading was in line with its board's expectations, with group revenues and ebitda up 5% and 26% respectively.
It had made a "very strong start" to Q4 with revenues more than 25% ahead, year on year, driven by energy switching since mid-October.
The company said full-year ebitda was now expected to be mid single-digit percentage ahead of current analyst consensus. On Nov. 5, Bloomberg reported consensus analyst forecast for adjusted ebitda was £78.4m for the year to Dec. 31.
Separately, Moneysupermarket.com said Matthew Price was succeeding Paul Doughty as chief financial officer. He would be appointed an executive director in the first quarter of 2014.

Analysts at Canaccord Genuity have upgraded their recommendation on price comparison site Moneysupermarket.com (LON:MONY) to "buy" from "hold" after the company published a better-than-expected set of third-quarter numbers, today. The broker said: "Momentum has picked up going into Q4 [fourth quarter], with revenues up by more than 25% (despite having tougher comparables, given the FY13 Q3 acquisition of MoneySavingExpert). The key drivers have been strong growth in Home Services, as a result of Energy switching."
Meanwhile, Numis stated that it would be the natural thing for it to upgrade to "hold" but, instead, has placed its "sell" rating under review until it has had more time to digest today's numbers and see how things pan out in the markets.

Moneysupermarket.com has welcomed the Competition Commission's provisional findings on motor insurance and its aim to prohibit the use of 'wide' most favoured nation clauses in contracts.
MoneySupermarket says it has worked very closely with the Competition Commission and welcomes its proposals to prohibit these clauses in contracts between price comparison websites and motor insurers which prevent an insurer offering a lower premium through another price comparison website.
MoneySupermarket says it does not have these 'wide' most favoured nation clauses in its contracts with motor insurers and believes that such clauses stifle innovation, reduce competition and can result in higher motor insurance premiums for consumers.
Chief executive Peter Plumb said: ""Our overriding strategy is to get drivers cheaper prices for the same cover at MoneySupermarket, than on any other price comparison website. As the only major independent price comparison website in the UK we've been working with insurers to deliver this to our customers.
"However some price comparison website competitors have tried to stop us by using clauses that force price parity across all price comparison websites and therefore prevent an insurer offering a lower premium through us.
"We are delighted that the Competition Commission is proposing to stop this practice by some of our competitors. This is good news as it will allow us to offer better prices for the same cover to even more customers.

Westhouse Securities has maintained its 'add' rating and 209p target price for price-comparison website Moneysupermarket.com (MONY) after the Competition Commission's (CC's) report into the private motor insurance market. The CC said it is considering prohibiting 'most favoured nation' (MFN) clauses which make sure that individual insurers' premiums are not offered more cheaply elsewhere, something which it says reduces competition.

Moneysupermarket.com's FY pretax profit hit £43.1m, from £31.5m a year ago. Revenue was £225.6m, from £204.8m.
Its final dividend was 5.12p a share, from 3.94p. Its ordinary dividend for the year was 7.28p a share, from 5.74p. There was a special dividend of 12.92p a share.
The company said trading in the first two months of the year has been satisfactory. Revenues were mid single digit ahead of the same period last year.
"Trading within the Group has been largely consistent with the trends seen in the fourth quarter of 2013 with strong growth in TravelSupermarket.com and MoneySavingExpert.com, offset by Home Services, where growth rates have slowed," the company said.
Further investment in the company's core sites and marketing, and a positive outlook on natural search with Google, gave the board confidence in the outlook for the full year. CEO Peter Plumb said investment in the business last year paid off nicely with higher revenues, profits up 26%, and a dividend that was tripled as we returned over £100m to shareholders.
"We'll build on our innovation in 2013 by doubling our capital investment for 2014, and bringing market leading services in Travel and Insurance to customers' mobiles and desktops," Plumb said.

Moneysupermarket.com said group revenues in the first few weeks of the second quarter are flat with last year and trading trends largely in line with the first quarter of 2014.
"Revenues in Home Services and Travel continue to trade ahead whilst Insurance remains in line with last year. Revenues in Money are fractionally behind the same period last year driven by lower cash ISA volumes," the company said in a statement.
"The Board remains confident in the outlook and overall the Board's expectations for the year remain unchanged."
Moneysupermarket.com's Q1 financial performance was in line with the board's expectations.
Group revenues and EBITDA for Q1 were, respectively, 8% and 5% ahead of the same period last year.
Group administrative costs were in line with the same period last year whilst offline marketing costs were in the region of 20% ahead of the same period last year supporting new MoneySuperMarket and TravelSuperMarket advertising campaigns.

Moneysupermarket said its 9-month revenues rose 12% to £189.2m, while three-month revenues were up 18% to £66.8m. The Board remains confident of the company meeting its full year expectations.
Looking ahead, Moneysupermarket said through October group trading continued the positive momentum and solid margins seen in Q3.
"However, the group does not expect to repeat the exceptional 2013 fourth quarter demand for energy switching which added £7M of revenue growth."
CEO Peter Plumb commented:
"This has been another good quarter with trading growth of +18%. In parallel with saving more people more money - we've helped 3.7 million customers so far this year - the technology team has launched our pioneering new motor insurance site to a number of customers.
"We think this is easily the best way for customers to find the policy that best suits them - you can compare features, benefits and exclusions of policies as well as price. We'll be rolling out the new technology to more customers across our business channels in the months ahead."

Westhouse Securities has moderated its recommendation on price comparison site Moneysupermarket.com Group (LON:MONY) and moved to a 'neutral' investment rating (from 'add'), stating that the shares look likely to pause for breath following the recent strong run.
The broker pointed out that the shares have outpaced the market by 18 per cent over the past three months and by around 13 percent since last month's interim management statement.
Nevertheless, analyst Roddy Davidson added: "We remain positive on MONY's long-term fundamentals.
We also view it as a stand out asset for anyone looking to enter / consolidate the price comparison space (a possibility that may be more likely following the reduction in its founder's stake to 16.5%) and we would expect its substantially superior scale, profitability, dominant market share and the expected benefits of its current investment programme to deliver a substantial valuation premium to the historic EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.5x paid by Esure for 50% of Gocompare (deal announced yesterday)"

Moneysupermarket.com Group expects FY revenues to grow by about 10% to £248m, and adjusted EBITDA to grow by 13% to roughly £95m. Its financial position remains strong and at Dec. 31, 2014, the group had net cash of £10.5 million.
The results for the year will be announced on 3 March 2015.
"Q4 revenues from insurance continued to grow as did revenues in Money from credit cards and loans. Motor insurance rates are flattening and this is increasing demand from motorists looking to compare prices and features," the company said.
"Banks and loan providers are competing hard to attract customers for credit cards," it said.
"As expected Home Services and MoneySavingExpert.com revenues were down compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 when very high demand for energy switching gave an uplift of £7 million following energy price rises."
CEO Peter Plumb said:
"This has been a good final quarter to another strong year. More people are seeing how easy it is to compare products and prices online, for free, and save money.
"I'm particularly pleased to see our core Insurance and Money channels in healthy growth as a result of the savings we offer and the help we give customers to choose the best products for them. MoneySavingExpert and TravelSuperMarket are thriving."
