Would anyone know why there has been such a large number of shares sold and no buying? Is there something we are not aware of?

good results now lets see the sp mirror this strong performance!.

ellio - 17 Mar 2006 10:05 - 87 of 369

no rest until 70p!

lizard - 17 Mar 2006 17:03 - 88 of 369

its about time this stock got the attention it deserves. impressive results and growth looks encouraging. pick of the sector for me atm!.

ellio - 17 Mar 2006 17:12 - 89 of 369

If it goes to 70p it may well carry on to 100p+, thats wishfull thinking of course, however, you could say that on an eps of 8-9 for 2006 and a re-rating to 10-12x, bingo 100p+

In other words cost has plenty of upside imo and if the the divi is restored soon, well lots of buying!!

keep the faith L

agree 100p has to be a long term target- thats if they have not received a bid by then?-

ellio - 18 Mar 2006 23:48 - 91 of 369

Limited press coverage L, was just looking at similar companys in Costains sector and Carillion who are a slightly larger Costain, in some respects, are rated at 15x, so 100p puts Cost on a par with their peers imo, could be absorbed by Carillion!!! at a premium.

Gut feeling, Cost will be taken out at 135p!!

lizard - 19 Mar 2006 09:34 - 92 of 369

i'd settle for that!.

lizard - 20 Mar 2006 10:42 - 93 of 369

some decent buys this am- ratio 3 to 1 in favour of buyers. so far!.

ellio - 20 Mar 2006 11:06 - 94 of 369

Price is being held back!! expect some movement later, 60p breakout L, heading to 70P!!

lizard - 20 Mar 2006 15:44 - 95 of 369

still being held!?- positive day on the buying front about 730k v 200k!.

lizard - 21 Mar 2006 11:53 - 96 of 369

held back AGAIN - 1.8m buys v 98k sells. still frustrating.

ellio - 21 Mar 2006 11:57 - 97 of 369

They will need to find some sellers soon, presumably they were them at 56.5p, we shall see, it'll take a while I'm sure to get to 70p! it's coming though.

ellio - 24 Mar 2006 13:21 - 98 of 369

Looks like we have a new level! 55p solid from here

ellio - 24 Mar 2006 16:21 - 99 of 369

Patience my boy!

ellio - 27 Mar 2006 09:32 - 100 of 369

LIZ, YOU GONE ON YOUR HOLIDAYS!

lizard - 27 Mar 2006 10:52 - 101 of 369

ellio, sold stake in cost - want to take more risk. but think this is a decent stock with encouraging med /long term potential. i like the look of goo and have increased holding!.

pjstanton - 27 Mar 2006 14:57 - 102 of 369

Somebody took a few today with a buy of 550k
Slowly but surely up to 75p by next results I suspect

Peter

ellio - 27 Mar 2006 15:19 - 103 of 369

Think we'll see it sooner than tht Pj!!

My bet is a break of 60p soon, before working to 70p by May, now there's optimism, if we get a big contact announcement along the way or some news, 75p easy, 2-3 months max

Pj, am expecting 100p+ for cost.

ellio - 31 Mar 2006 09:28 - 104 of 369

tapping on the 60p door.
