I love this little beast but the trading patterns leave me confused. Where next 6p or 10p?

I still think they're an amazing bargain. Where else can you get such a well known national brand name for only 3m, with such insignifant debt? If I was a little braver I'd bid myself.

LONDON (ShareCast)13/7/2004 - It was a mixed day for London's small caps with shares in Actif Group (LSE: ACT.L - news)FALLING SHARPLY AFTER ISSUING A PROFIT WARNING LAST NIGHT. It is 4.25p.
The sports goods retailer said full-year results would be "significantly below market expectations" after a sharp fall in sales.

It's so like French Connection and next a decade ago! A small holding is surely worth the risk?

Why is the gap so large between the buy and sell price?

Ok, it's wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

I phoned HL yesterday for a price and it was 4-5p, not to be put off, I asked the chap to check, within moments I'd bought more of this little darling for less than the quoted mid price -What's happening?

The results are coming and they are unlikely to sparkle, but that's retailing, and they've warned us.

But if the results slightly exceed those of the interims, they'll be well up on last years.

Minimal debt, an establihed brand name, national coverage and change out of 4 million -They're having a laugh! But who will win

Market value of less than 3 MILLION!!!

A BRAND NAME.

NATIONAL RECOGNITION AND COVERAGE.

LOW DEBT.

BUT, AN IFFY TRADING STATEMENT - AM I A FOOL STILL BELIEVING? -PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

Have a look at the results

The profits aren't great - but they're positive and sales are well up on a good point last year.

The market makers are being stupid 3.5- 4.5p yesterday, but I bought more for 3.9p Its mad!!

Why does nobody care?


It was the same with Arcadia and Bhs

Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JRM - it's a dog, let's face it. A year ago it was 8p. I lost a lot of money on this and I baled out ages ago.
Better to accept reality and put what's left into something else.

We should have been in ASOS!

A nice buyer today. A person with knowledge?????

Does anyone have a date for results and/or any clue on xmas trading?
looking at the chart im not sure if anyone holding act is still alive?? Am going to treat this more as a British photographic mission to Mars with a high likelihood of no reply.

They don't do things as common as trading statements! The next statement is due in late March.

I must ring JD Sport to tell them about this gem. It's typical of their recent purchases.

The market makers must be open today!

I think the trading statement is good. Ok over the 28 weeks there is a dip but look at Christmas 6%+

Any thoughts?

Today we're up whatever next?

They're paying over 5p a share. Whatever next? A takeover??

I've put it on JD Sports Chairman's answer phone. Will he think I'm mad or inspired?

Just look at the spread 0.2p is the real gap. This really does my head in!!!

Two nice buys!!

Any thoughts???????????

didnt see the directors buys until now all good news long way to go for me having paid 10p.......but it all helps

Perhaps you should buy more??

They're still a bargain

Up 17% today, director buying last week, now all thats needed is lovely swimwear weather this summer.
