CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Still on the sidelines opto

Liked todays trading statement but have to still be convinced they are going to generate decent profits from the CNP side of the business (ie organic growth) where again the news was less positive "had a slightly better
second half of the year compared to the first half". Again the good news is coming from the fuel card business, which whilst still positive, would not be as positive as if it had been coming from CNP growth as this is where the huge gains could potentially be made. Based on growth from the fuel card and acqusitions i cant justify a Pe of 20. Wouldnt be surprised to see the SP repeat previous years with a rise as results become nearer and unless results are amazing a dip back again afterwards

Cant complain though, had a nice rise on DNX and a cracking set of interims from HDG (worth a look for a long term buy and hold)

Afternoon all!

Tone is definitely going down in here :-( What is that
TIM!!

Quick cuppa for me, please.

HDG - I have that one tucked away too, looking good :-)
More than can be said for Tesco's SP today. Bit too much
red all round in fact ...

Hi jj, and thanks Fundy.

Afternoon JJ

very nice set of interims i thought - market slow to react

'tis I.

Been out, came back. Found place deserted, has there been an invasion by aliens? I shall continue searching.

Morning all.

Morning Opto

Morning Jeff.

Morning opto, jeffmack.

Coffee on, warm danish pastries.

Going to put my feet up and have a danish
with extra icing - first time back to gym
since November, so need to recover!

Hi jj, that's a big break from the gym, must take some getting back into. Easy on the pasrtries :-)

opto :-) The pastries give me the energy! Absence
didn't make much difference; don't really over -
exert myself in the first place!

How are you, anyway?

jj
You only go to oggle the guys

jj, I from distant memory know that you are supposed to exert yourself in gyms:-)
I'm OK jj, could be better if there was a little more life in the market, bit dull right now. Bright bit is SPW is being supported by more bid talk, this time from Russia!

jeffmack, the guys are all shorter than me!
... and I'm only 5'7!!

opto, yea market pretty dull - well done on SPW; sold mine
on principle of "leaving some for the next man", so you should be
OK ;-) Article in Scotland on Sunday about new chap denying he
would be interested in bids; so I suppose that means highly likely!

Morning All - I'll join you on the danish and a cuppa....
Just finished the task of hoovering having found the carpet in the lads room!
LOL

Hi Bunny - saw the effect
of your hoovering, immediate
rise in DYS ;-)

LOL JJ
Should count myself lucky, didn't find anything that bit me!

They're not keeping snakes or tarantulas under the bed then Bunny :-)

Thankfully not - or unknown knickers etc LOL
