well...trust Chelski to win at anfield!!! great parking of the bus! - no way through at all! back to TRCR - still trending up and away!
yep. no worries here long term mate. LFC...reckon Cpalace may do us a favour too!
Not a great day here, but this isn't untypical of TRCS after it has had a good run. The share price has returned to being between the upper and lower Bollinger Band, which can be expected. Still awaiting for that news from the U.S.A, could be imminent. Re. LFC. Not there yet. Not over until the fat lady sings and at present she is just getting the music together. We could do with the Toffees doing us a favour on MCFC. Regards CM
Canary game a bit squeaky but bring on Chelski! ... LOL re disrespect shown to Sunderland before (re team selection) and after the game. The number of franchises up for decision in 2014 and 2015 is stunning, great for consultancy side, so revs are going to be high (if modest sales of track monitoring boxes to Network Rail) or very high (if more boxes). Continue to think Labour victory in 2015 a risk but SP has not reacted to this so far.
actually they wont...but u get the drift! one game at a time!
Well..nervy 3point against Norwich! Just noticed if west brom draw at etihad, lfc will win league if they beat chelski!!!...one game at a time....let's not get carried away!
goodness me! u called it right...thought Sunderland could stun Chelski with a draw...but to get a win??!! incredible...come on LFC!!!
hey buddy, me thinks we will get yer GL
And yes....one game at a time! Come.one lfc....make us dream!!! Norwich next up...unleash The Suarez!!!!!
A character called Shan!!!!....I like it!. Thanks so much for information...I think I was doing a lot of of the Zulu principle without actually knowing!
To finish my post below I would say have a look at the criteria set out by Robbie Burns, The Naked Trader. He is more open and flexible than Jim Slater. Combine the 2 and I think we won't go far wrong if at all. I have done a lot of research on a lot of companies using as much of the criteria as I can. And do you know who keeps coming up on the bulletin boards of many of them?.........a character by the name of Shan!. No kidding!. So, somewhere along the line you are reaching the same conclusions with your investigations. Of course, I don't know if you have any holdings in these companies, perhaps you are just commenting and putting them on a watchlist. Have a good weekend. Hoping the reds can pull away from the blues. Not there yet, the finish line is almost within sight but we need to remain focussed, one game at a time. Nevermind about the last game, focus on the next. Regards CM
Hello Shan. Making time to give you a heads up on the Zulu Principle; sorry it has taken me until now; just been too busy and/or tired. I mentioned in a previous post that most ;of it is common sense. The more we can know about a company and research the better. The more research we can do into the "Zulus" the better informed we will be and can make better informed decisions. Not just hoping for the best or "taking a punt". It doesn't mean of course that we will always get it right, we can't possibly know what nasty events lie ahead but we can at least identify the nasty events behind which will have affected the share price to date. So, the criteria used in the ZP for selecting small dynamic growth shares are the following: 1. A positive growth rate in earnings per share in at least 4 of the last 5 years. 2. A low price earnings ratio relative to the growth rate. 3. An optimistic chairman's statement. 4. Strong liquidity,low borrowings and high cash flow. 5. A substantial competitive advantage. 6. Something new. 7. A small market capitalisation. 8. High relative strength to the shares. 9. A more than nominal dividend yield. 10. A reasonable asset position. 11,. Management should have a significant shareholding. Jim Slater (author) states that the first 5 points are mandatory, 6-8 are important and 9-11 are desirable. It is a very strict set of criteria and in truth it can be near impossible to identify almost any share that meet all of them. In my opinion we have to cut some slack and decide what criteria we want to concentrate on. Personally I would probably ease up a little on the 5 year record because there may have been general market set backs which will be reflected in the results and are not company specific. Something new?, hmm, that is probably very difficult to identify, most companies will have competitors in their market. Relative strength?, well, yes ideally and usually absolutely, but at present many companies have taken a kicking yet remain fundamentally very strong. I would usually look for a share price within 20% of its 52 week high, but wouldn't rule out completely a little below this, depending on the circumstances. At this point I may think about what sector the share is in because sectors come into and go out of favour and it could be swimming against the tide; think tech shares and their perceived weakness as a whole right now. Optimistic Chairman's statement, absolutely 100%!, anything negative is into the sin bin. Regarding the low PEG factor, Jim Slater would be looking for a PEG of 0.75 or lower. Some may want to raise that to nearer 1.0. Management shareholding - I would always want to see some holding and would be seriously concerned had any sold substantially especially the CEO, Chairman and F.D. Additionally, I will look at the company share price graph. Can I identify a trend, does it look healthy or ill?. Hope thi
Sunderland result last night suggests we knocked MC for more than six points! Let's hope Sunday is the "canary in the mine" for Chelsea .. best for Pesach, Easter to all..
massive trades...in black though so not sure what they are.
£3.00 nearing.. LFC...can we make 11 wins on the trot.one game at a time!
cm, shan, re Sunday, wow! still breathless.... Times carries a story today that E Milliband is actively considering for the 2015 Labour manifesto a proposal that a state-backed operating co will be set up for the purpose of competing with the private cos for franchises... Times calls it gradual re-nationalisation by stealth... not sure what to make of it... Ok if it competed on equal terms and so the private cos still bid (having paid for TRCS consultancy) ... but risk is it doesn't compete fairly and drives away the private sector from bidding.
cm/taudelta. CM..no worries mate...whenever u can. yep all eyes on tomorrow...gonna be so tense post kick-off!! lets have it LFC...make us dream!!!!
Shan - I haven't forgotten about your request about the Z.P. I will get back to you once I have some more time - likely to be Monday. Regards CM
Just taken another look at the interim results; very good. Also, the result of the pilot in North America should be known very shortly (within 5 months- stated in mid November - takes us to around about now). If that proves positive then yippee , if not then I may thinking about reducing my holdings temporarily. Yesterdays fall back isn't too surprising. The markets were generally down, TRCS has had a good run and usually takes a breather before heading higher. 3 pts. more tomorrow?, hmm. The Toffees have done their job today so will be wanting to hit MC when they play them to push hard for the CL, may unsettle them and help us. Good luck folks and regards CM
Fingers crossed for Sunday, cm, shan! Yet another reference to hub caps in the public domain today... you can track down this rascal by inserting Andes Energia into Google News search, I don't like to say his name on this gentlefolks' BB!
Hi Shan. Yeap, I will get back to you. Most of it is common sense, worked around the basis of the more we know about a company the better the chance we have of making an informed investment decision, one way or the other. Maybe no coincidence that a good number of the companies I have identified you have already posted on, whether or not you already have a holding. Possibly just a matter of tweeking of how you/we already research. Nothing complicated. The criteria used in the Zulu Principle may need a bit of slack right now in the economic cycle but combine that with what Robbie Burns, The Naked Trader, writes and it is very good. Mogie, on another board is very good on such matters. Trace Mogie down perhaps, very helpful poster who has been on one of Robbie Burns seminars. Regards CM
Please mate if u get some time could you explain the Zulu principle of trading....noticed peeps talking about it on the cll bb...would be much appreciated mate.
Good evening. A reasonable day here thankfully. The 300p mark is getting very close. I feel the prem. has further twists before it is decided. The Toffees will have their say and have everything to push and play for, providing they are not out nicking hubcaps!. Regards CM
yep, bit squeaky bum in 2H, but good reality check ahead of Sunday, also provided BR with up-to-date info as to choice of 4-diamond-2 or 433 vs MCFC. The Lucas knee is a1-ok, had a good 45m (actually 49!), and Stevie now amnestied out of the 10 yellow peril!
Another 3points guys..lfc on the verge....all about next Sundays match!!!
