This is a quality stock.
Just starting a thread - I'll post more very shortly.

Drop looks overdone to me, but in these markets who knows. Ungeared, yield looks to be over 5% and director buying end of last week may help. I bought at between 240p and 250p and will lock them away - could be volatile in short term, but imo a quality smaller company.

More (substantial) director buying today at 248p.

Yes the purchase of 400,000 shares shows Chairman Peter Levine has strong confidence in the company's future prospects following the Fischer acquisition. The market cap. is only around 200 million, the latest forward order book is 440 million and the PE ratio is about 8.6 with 2007 PBT around 42 million. Buy.

I AGREE//BUT HOPING TO BUY LOWER IT A LONG TIME TO 2012/AROUND THE 230 ISH WILL DO/

Severfield-Rowen PLC said non-executive director David Ridley purchased 50,000 shares at 261.38 pence each, lifting his stake in the company to 52,000 shares.
ME TO.

Looking good again today. Have warm feeling about this one.

mmmmmmmmmmm nice

A forward P/E of just 6, way too cheap imho.

I take it you like it then cyners/.

looks to me like its one hot little stock about to get much bigger.

not sure ...... have put on watchlist (ditto WSP), but suspect there will be some froth blown away during the day

ITS CHEAP

so is ASDA's chicken, but that is no recommendation - lol!
this is another share that started strongly and then just sat, despite the general euphoria

ARSENAL AND TERM 5
