this share has done extremely well this year - with results coming in a month or so, this is a buy!

Steady buying again and the chart looks ready for another run upwards. Update due out in the next few weeks following the "record breaking year for the company".

Daniel Stewart Securities PLC said 2005 was a
"record-breaking" period for the company, with the company raising 140 mln stg
for its clients compared to 50 mln in 2004.
The broker grew its client base by over 40 pct during the period from 27 AIM
companies at the start of the year to 39 by the end of December.
During the period Daniel Stewart advised on over 970 mln stg of deals by
value during 2005 and acted on 28 transactions on AIM as it took advantage of
buoyant market conditions.
Daniel Stewart benefited from a burgeoning AIM market last year with growing
investor confidence underpinning increasing deal flow.
The positive momentum looks set to continue with this year starting very
well, the company said.
Chief executive Peter Shea said: "We achieved quarter-on-quarter growth
throughout the year and the first few weeks of 2006 have proved to be equally
busy."

Stonking chart this.

Nice little tick up this morning following more steady buying.

Generally a pretty dull day for the markets, so good to see some nice buys going through. DAN are adding to the client base and with the upsurge in the AIM market this has to be a long term winner,imop.dyor. - and it's worth researching btw!

It's worth reiterating that DAN completed 28 transactions in 2005, raising 140million for clients - which was up from 50million in 2004.

Positive Candidate analysis from investtech.com

Positive Candidate (Medium term)
An approximate horizontal trend is broken up. A continued strong development is indicated, and the the stock now meets support on possible reactions down towards the trend lines. The stock has support at p 17.40. Volume tops correspond well with price tops, and volume bottoms correspond well with price bottoms. Volume balance is also positive, which strengthens the trend break. RSI is overbought. The stock can still rise further, and we should see a decreasing RSI before this is used as a negative signal. The stock is overall assessed as technically positive for the medium long term.

Chart looks ready for the next breakout, a little more volume should do it.

Interesting the games that go on with the live streaming prices on shares. DAN ticked up again just before the close, but the buy which caused the tick up, 100k at 20.65, was in the sell column about half-an-hour later. Clearly a buy.

There's an interesting article in the Daily Mail today by Adam Hart, head of business development at KBC Peel Hunt and chairman of the LSE's AIM advisory group, in which he indicates that the boom in the AIM market is expected to continue. Good news for DAN.

Fortuna Gaming Corp.,

JELF GROUP plc

Acquisition and Share Placing

ACQUISITION OF GOSS GROUP LIMITED

PROPOSED PLACING OF 6.9m NEW ORDINARY SHARES AT 106p per share RAISING GBP7.3m

Jelf Group plc ("the Company") is delighted to announce the acquisition ("the
Acquisition") of Goss Group Ltd ("Goss") for an initial consideration of GBP6.254
million. Goss was established in 1921 in Reading and over the years has
developed a significant insurance brokerage business and has added a financial
services division to complement this business.

It employs around 170 staff in five locations. The majority of staff are located
in Reading and Guildford with smaller offices existing in Cheltenham, Newton
Abbot and Taunton. Premium income has steadily increased to circa GBP46.2m in 2005
which has been achieved in part by four acquisitions in the past six years.

In addition the Company announces it is simultaneously raising GBP7,319,287 from
institutional and other investors via a placing of 6,904,988 New Ordinary Shares
at 106p per share ("The Placing Price"). The Company has also placed 467,000
Existing Ordinary Shares with institutional and other investors at The Placing
Price.

A shareholders' circular will be posted today and includes a Notice of an Annual
General Meeting ("AGM") of the Company which is to be held on 21 March 2006.

Highlights

The combination of Goss and Jelf Group ("the Enlarged Group") will make
the Enlarged Group a leading force in the commercial insurance, corporate
healthcare and employee benefits markets in the south of England and Wales

The combined corporate healthcare premiums will increase to GBP50m
consolidating its position in the top 5 in this sector (based on volumes of
business on risk with BUPA, excluding Nationals)

The combined commercial insurance book of business will now generate over
GBP75m in annual premiums which would have placed the Enlarged Group in the
top 10 of Insurance Age's 'Top 100 Independent Broker Survey 2005'

The combined financial services operation will now have annual turnover
in excess of GBP10m establishing the Enlarged Group in the top 40 in this
sector (Source: Based on published results in the Financial Adviser Regional
Adviser Survey, Nov 2005)

The proposed Placing of New Ordinary Shares will assist in the financing
of the Acquisition, the repayment of Goss's current indebtedness and provide
working capital for the Enlarged Group


Alex Alway, Group Chief Executive, Jelf Group plc, said

"The strategic rationale for this consolidating acquisition is compelling. This
acquisition not only enjoys an excellent strategic fit in respect of both
geography and people, but also offers opportunities for enhanced margins as a
direct result of the Enlarged Group's increased buying power, identified cost
savings and multiple cross-selling opportunities".

Looking strong again the last two days. Nice broker 500K buy this morning.

Breaking out this morning. Article in the Indy confirming the continuing potential of this company.

Elsewhere on AIM, the investment banking boutique Daniel Stewart Securities gained a penny to 20.5p on talk the company has hit its internal budgets several months ahead of expectations due to the boom in corporate activity. The company has profited from the boom in AIM listings and traders expect it to continue its excellent start to the year.

Really pi*sed off with this as tried to get in at 21p this morning only for volume of shares to be too high. Nevermind, in at 23p.

Still a good price dandu this one is going to run and run and the Indy has obviously got a sniff of something, perhaps the promised update on trading from the company. This quote from a Daniel Stewart RNS at the beginning of February ------
"We look forward to the
conclusion of our financial year in March and updating shareholders closer to
that time."
