Experian got to be high on the list for private equity groups (EXPN)     

GordonG - 20 Feb 2007 10:48

p/w of 10 with sales rising 20% YOY and turns around 80% of profit straight to cash worth 10 in my opinion thats why I bought it @ 550p the steal of the century ....

now out of its 90 day average heading toward 700p withing the month as understand the overhang of float shares out of the way

HARRYCAT - 15 Dec 2007 21:12 - 92 of 223

Possibly due to some bad news reports on the Xmas retail sales. The credit squeeze has started & the post Xmas Sales are not going to be profit making.
EXPN now sub 400p & very difficult to predict the bottom of the slide.

...and just to add I can't believe that EXPN Is not being shorted!

Think it's safe to presume EXPN has been hit on by pro shorters for a while now. But it's a matter of how far it can be forced down before fundamentals come to the fore and upward movement takes place. It's not as if it's a loss making company with lots of low entry level competition.

Harris and Goldman Sachs add now.. yet the chart continues to look absolutely useless -):

survived87 - 11 Jan 2008 19:03 - 96 of 223

Almost got some near the close when they were sub 360p and DOW looked like it might start recovering a bit....... luckily I didn't as seems DOW has subsequently dropped more...... might soon be back to level at start of decade....

Stan ..... some stocks are still going up - have you seen what's happened to Worldspreads SP since the spreadbet seminar - they're now in to triple figures.....

Stan - 12 Jan 2008 08:41 - 98 of 223

No Chris I had deleted them from one of my watch lists when they were 80p...well I never a 100p!

Stan..... (if your there...)..... what do your particular charts suggest for EXPN now.....?

Stan - 23 Jan 2008 16:47 - 101 of 223

It's a financial share Chris..which like all the others I'm loathed to consider at this moment In time.

survived87 - 23 Jan 2008 17:52 - 102 of 223

Yes, DOW's up and down again (presently gone below 11700 again) so it's all a bit iffy...

Stan - 23 Jan 2008 18:03 - 103 of 223

"iffy''.. is a very good word in the present climate -): if in doubt stay out is my motto at the mo.

queen1 - 23 Jan 2008 20:15 - 104 of 223

A good performance today though against a backdrop of red.

survived87 - 23 Jan 2008 20:51 - 105 of 223

well, t'was red until recently, the DOW seems to have gone from over 300 down to over 250 up during second half of US trading day.... interesting times indeed....
with the way the DOW is finishing, then lets see if we can see EXPN back over 400 mark tomorrow...

queen1 - 24 Jan 2008 08:45 - 106 of 223

Well it's already cracked the 400p mark this morning survived87 but it will be interesting to see if that can be maintained for the rest of the day.

survived87 - 24 Jan 2008 17:23 - 107 of 223

Well, it did manage to stay well above 400 by close .... be 'interesting' to see what it does tomorrow....

Stan - 24 Jan 2008 17:47 - 108 of 223

Not reading to much into EXPN's rise today chaps as most things went up on my current watch list of 25 outfits.

survived87 - 24 Jan 2008 17:50 - 109 of 223

nor am I ..... but got out a little too early this afternoon at just over 405p.... but reasonably happy as picked them up around 360p earlier this week... goes someway to making up for IMTE ;-)

Stan - 24 Jan 2008 17:54 - 110 of 223

Excellent recovery trade..just goes to show that if you can get the timing right your quids In.

survived87 - 24 Jan 2008 20:12 - 111 of 223

Wonder what the Experian Credit Rating of the guy that lost the SG Bank a few billion dollars is now?
