Listen to our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode 'Uncovering opportunities with investment trusts' with The AIC's Richard Stone here.
VEC I continue to keep an eye on Vectura. I see it as a company with great opportunities. Not for those like Cynic who as we know is on VR776 and tends to exit before the action, or even AffiliateMarketeer who, on VR004, refuses to rise to the ocassion. I don't see this as a company that will 'do a VOG' but more of a long term growth situations. I am not into it yet, but I will be.
PXC RNS Nothing 'major' PIPEX signs partnership with Cegedim to roll out broadband to community pharmacies
TPH Only about 14% of the isc is traded, so this could result in shortage and sharper sp rise, true? What is the opinion generally about a company where the vast majority is held by the senior directors? What I am thinking here, is in these cases is there the imperative or pressure to pay dividend? I agree revenue is all important to enable the directors to maintain their stake. What I am thinking, is that whilst "The Company is initially seeking to achieve capital growth for its Shareholders" it has little imperative to contribute anything to make that happen in the short term. I am not at all against this stock, but seeking your views and experience regarding this situation.
PXC I am totally SIPPED off with my sipp provider. Down again. maybe thats what I pay the highest prices per trade for. Advice for everyone, do not bother with www.sippdeal.co.uk. Their helpline runs from 9 oclock. Someone tell them when the markets open. If anyone fancies posting any noticeable movements on PXC or VOG after 8 oclock, I'll be grateful.
PXC Debbie, I misread your previous, I had wrongly thought that it was the ceo of PXC that was being interviewed, my comment should not have been so upbeat and I should learn to read.
PXC thanks for that info. 1. appearing 2. broad grin Forget the words he said, those 2 facts say it all for me. Somethings gonna happen, and it aint gonna be bad. VOGGING, Debbie, is your language going downhill??
you HAVE to see the movies
I thought BOOTS was the ideal place for this. At 1.48 today on companyannouncements this vital information appeared. I've never quite seen anything like this before, I found it most 'enjoyable'. Maybe Cynic will be just a bit more ....cynical!! Strong Buy. I'll buy it!!!! http://www.companyannouncements.co.uk/cgi-bin/articles/20060208134800N5937.html
EKA youre not wrong re EKA. I don't think I'lll jump into CER just yet though.
PXC I've joined in this morning. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a fight for PXC. But on the risk side, does anybody have thoughts about xmax vs wimax?
CZT Jameel, you have a good one here, I did some research on the competition, and there is some out there, but none with the impetus of CZT from what I can see. Some of the competition still rely on urine samples, and sending off for analysis. However Preventx may be a competitor. Turnover will increase dramatically, and good earnings will ensue. I have chosen not to jump in, but can't blame anyone who does.
EKA RNS well received. price jumped on the news. I think CER could do worse than to increase their holding in this one, now they have the cash.
EKA Cynic my concern with CER now is if the remaining suzdal and zherek have enough resources to justify the company's market cap? Mind you, I suppose that the extra cash makes a diff? Whereas I hope that EKA is now producing and is on track for revenue in the very near future. Anyway, I am off to research CHP. cheers
CHP Thanks Cynic, seems good, I will now do the research. I am looking for value shares because I am currently 25% cash and deciding if I should stay that way or not. Seen EKA? They have got to say something soon or my name's not Chantelle.
in the absence of a daily telegraph at the moment, can you give a rough summary, thanks.
CER I was thinking same as you and was going to suggest that you sell some. I never did buy these and had watched in dismay as CER kicked the EKA ass. I did buy into EKA at 105.5 I reckon we are overdue info re start of production and cashflow at EKA and those CER bods will want to announce something good at this time. I honestly do expect a positive statement from EKA, but would not be surprised if it were also about delays. We are practically half way through Q1 and this was the all important quarter! And in December they said they were still on track. And as you rightly say, any gain in EKA is a gain for your remaining CER.
PXC Strong Buy? Shares magazine or PXC?
send us comments about this website. No I haven't. Maybe many people would consider sending a comment, all at the same time, to help reiterate the point. I would like to see more chat history without having to select individual shares, and I would like to be able to search chat history by person or word. Isn't copy and paste a wonderful thing on a Friday evening. This is more of a light hearted gesture than some mass protest.
ETL shush Cynic. Others are just glad to see posts returning. Also, it annoys me a bit this LSE, that it only seems possible to see very recent posts unless you enter a particular share. I keep missing many if I dont keep tuned. If I am wrong about this technicality, please correct me.
It is probable that some previous participants have found an alternative venue better to suit their needs, which is a pity. I must say, I found Saturday 15:42 to be an excellent opportunity to move onwards and upwards. Lets face it we all like opportunities. Let us hope that they will reconsider.
