Nice to know we are coming on to other PIs' radar, L This is a decent play on continued Asian strength imo (& I thought those jolly fellows over the pond were doing splendidly now that they had averted their cliff - which seemed a close shave with a much loved singer)
yeah,seen this talked about on other boards and we'll be swimming in "real deals" lol,if the this recovery doesnt get de railed by those chaps on the other side of the pond..!!!!!!!!!!.......................
Noodles is the man to explain accounting terms (not to be in anyway relied on, but my suggestion is that it is the aggregate of prior years' earnings, and, since in deficit, dividends may be difficult without a court process; on the upside - but based on separate tax accounts - there may be some shielding from some future tax on profits) On the weeding & teeth, ouch & ouch GL & atb Jolly
Thanks for that, Noodles - and well done (again) for CEY play
You should hang around - TRI's the real deal
buy x 2......................................
Thanks for the welcome. I am in the middle of weeding out stupid mistakes and applying reality to my portfolios. Difficult job, but someone has to do it. If either of you people (avoiding the gender thing) can briefly explain "retained earnings deficit" and how it affects a company, if at all, I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Wishey. Off out for a root canal jobby now. What fun!
Still here - watching, waiting for an entry price of 50p that might have gone forever. Also up to my neck in Centamin too, which has treated me well tbh. On TRI, like LLOYD I think there is a chance the divi could be reinstated off the back of the 31/3 results. That would attract new buyers and drive up the price. Also, full year EBITDA could support a 60p price on 6x earnings Speak soon Noodles
to (one of) the most civilised of Board here at LSE; all contributions (incl concerns about the business) would be great imo We have Noodles (at times) who once auditted TRI, so his contributions are particularly prized atb Jolly
I had been looking for a share to replace a dead duck in an ISA, so I picked this one up from Robbie Burns. Had a good look through it and it looks in a very strong position even though the world is in the doldrums, so I bought some and could well buy some more. No fireworks, just steady progress. What a gem!
Hi Legs Hoped you enjoy Xmas & happy New Year!! Yes, I agree with your views - TRI looks good solid long term bet imo Fingers crossed
Hi Jolly. I get the feeling that reality is starting to bite for the new year, with all the poor news coming out of the retail sector and news forecasts about 2013 being a tough year, traders will be starting to take profits and move back to cash for a while. TRI is doing well though, and 60p looks a real possibility! A top-up under 50p is my plan though as I think TRI is still remarkably cheap; one of those shares that are off the radar for most funds and traders..
did not succeed - top up time below 50p for me
all good imo for 2013
Merry Xmas (bit late) and enjoy a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year I'm too concerned about political situation to buy CEY - best of luck!
Had to sell out of TRI to fill up on CEY. Hopefully be able to get back in before y/e results start to leak! Happy Christmas everyone and have a great 2013
& enjoy a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year Jolly damp here
I think that's an excellent idea! I will of course tri (ha!) to blog any new and relevant information on TRI that I hear and can confirm. Hopefully, the pooling of quality information and the discussion of it will aid us all. I must say though that for the most part on these blogs you tend to find a lot of shameless ramping with little or no information to back up the claims. However, I'm glad I responded to a warning from a blogger which helped save money. Someone on the Lamprell blog uploaded a concern about two directors selling off their shares at the beginning of May. I checked it out, thought it very suspicious and sold my holdings for a small profit just days before they announced a profit warning and the share plummeted 60%.!! I am eternally grateful to that blogger who blogged the information quickly. So these blogs can be very helpful at times!
Agreed, jdr^2 A small point , perhaps, but, because TRI's sp is less likely to be a fiction created by hype and ramp, we can continue to be civilised and mellow here (and welcome/encourage sharing concerns / negatives)
this one seems to be getting a bit of traction now, hardly a convincing breakout but not been outside the 40s for many months
Not investment advice, you understand, Legs, but I don't worry about the mms I'm happy to stick with my original investment rationale - unless you or any of us come up with a few decent reason(s) to run for the hills! Have a great night & remember you're in (paper) profit but don't buy all the rounds just in case Jolly chilled
I'm all for that.! It would be great to see TRI hit 80p and for this to become support for the new year, but I've just noticed a huge 250,000 sell go through at 12.48 today, and some rather disturbing 100k sales yesterday! Oh dear, do you think it's all smoke and mirrors from the MM's? I guess it's all a matter of wait and see..
progress (a bit jerky, perhaps) is all we can ask for And really its progress by the business we're all after more than the sp (but maybe I am being a bit high minded - a spurt to 80p before Xmas would do nicely)
It's more like c'est la vie for me, although TRI is trying (ha!) for me this time..but it was 'b######s to Volex' last week as I got stopped out for an eye watering loss.! TRI seems to move in an odd way, sudden jumps up or down which I just don't understand..very stressful! With all the bad news around at the moment, from extended recessions to fiscal cliff, I can see investors (and funds) holding back until the mood alters, but it's great to see it make headway regardless of the FTSE apathy..
You and I may well get the opportunity to buy/top up at 46.xxp soon ..Tri loves the 40-50p atm (its natural habit, it seems)...but who knows of course...may booooooooom (unlikely)
