this share has done extremely well this year - with results coming in a month or so, this is a buy!

IC has reiterated a BUY reccomendation for DAN this week.
Here is a copy of the article:


"Full year results from Daniel Stewart demonstrated how well small cap stockbrokers have done from the rapid growth of Aim. Turnover doubled to 12.2m, while pre-tax profits rose 150 per cent to 5.1m. A busy year for new and secondary issues was mostly to thank, but the company also doubled the size of its loan book.

The key question, though, is whether the current year can match or even better that performance. New issues on Aim have slowed in recent months after a frantic start to 2006, and the fall in the stock market since May has knocked confidence. Nevertheless, chief executive Peter Shea is confident that this year will be another good one. There are still plenty of domestic companies controlled by venture capital firms which may seek a listing, and Aim is an increasingly popular destination for US companies. With that in mind, Daniel Stewart has sent one of its Nomads (nominated advisers) over there to work in partnership with investment bank Sanders Morris Harris.

Along with those of other stockbrokers, shares in Daniel Stewart fell during the recent market sell-off. At 20p, they're 17 per cent below our buy tip (24p, 13 April 2006), having reached 29p in April. They're trading on just under 10 times forecast earnings, which looks too low given the continuing popularity of Aim. Still a BUY."

In my opinion this share will double in next 12 months. Will be 30p by Oct.2007.

dropping DAN

long time since anyone's posted here but DAN is clearly on the move.
big buyers recently and results imminent.

Any one still interested in DAN? Some TA person said to me last night that there was a buy signal on this ..... can anyone confirm or is it a bit risky given the fall on the DOW last night? Thanks

Shea rumoured to be looking at a MBO!
Any buyout would have to be at a higher price than it is currently!

4.75/4.85 up on the bid. Banking sector in general picking up but DAN been left behind.

Started to recover off it's low.

Papers reported this am that there was hope a bid was coming in.

better hurry up before this goes bust......not many customers to keep business going....and analysts are woeful....nothing more than glorified journo.

you up to mischief again scotty

From what I remember their analyst was spot on about silverjet

down again today.....on a rocketing day!
just a tiddly wee company now.

1 good call in a year is hardly time to celebrate.....and thats on talking down something.....can it actually tip a share to do well.....thought not!

SELL

Oh dear and I was just thinking you knew what you were talking about!

the problem with these threads there isn't any true debate about what is going on and what is likely to happen.

A large proportion of silly people coming out with useless statements based on their very limited knowledge.

Still, gives me a good laugh! lol lol lol

down again

joking aside, companies like daniel stewart will really suffer from end of last year until we definitely we are out of bear market and things improve......now no-one really knows as bounce was in end march 3003 i think from last bear market......so its usually at least 6 months before people in media tell the masses. and many people will be burnt and wont rust markets for even longer if ever as like last bear market.
so i dont think daniel stewart will have much business for about next 3 years

down again....little volume too....soon be 1p

now only 2p.........do they have any clients left.......poor advice from analysts too wont give any confidence.

Noticed the Director buying yesterday. Hopefully the rise here will continue especially if they confirm that they have maintained profitability.

Director continuing to buy at 250,000 every seven days so far. I hope he keeps doing so as these shares are tightly held.

Yes I took a punt on these @ 1.47p purely on directors buying.
