I didn't really expect an increase in the price today, everything else I own seems to be down, unfortunately not one of my major investments.
I was hoping for some encouraging figures in the annual results out this week and for the SP to rise. The results were quite encouraging but not enough to push the SP up. I cannot see any positive movement for the SP now for many, many months, maybe come October when half yearly figures come out would be the next opportunity. So I think now would be a good time to sell and look to invest elsewhere. I will keep an eye out on UNG though, I have watched this share for 6 months and think there are opportunities to make some good money with the way the SP works here. Only 3 months ago the Ask price was 1.38, now you can sell at 1.91, 38% ROI.
There is a lot of competition out there but they are a good little company with good industrial relations. The Trade Union reps attend the AGM and are not backward in asking useful questions, however, I think most of those on this board are in the company for a quick profit soare probably not interested in background information. I wish you all well and may we see the SP soon above 2p!
Robert Goddard, Chairman of Universe, commented: "The Group has seen significant change during the last year, particularly in the second half when organisational restructuring, more focussed product investment and close alignment with customers has improved our capabilities and underlying profitability. The Group made ground in difficult market conditions and now, with substantially enhanced capabilities, the Company's prospects are improving. "

I bought these a couple of months back at 1.5 (ask 1.63). Yearly results are due on friday, I am very optimistic that results will be encouraging and the SP will rise above 2p. I am hoping the bid price will be 2p minimum which will be a 22% ROI.
I bought some shares in UNG a couple of weeks ago, the fact the directors bought 4m shares and they were expecting improved performance sounds like some encouraging results will be announced next month. It is tempting to sell now as this is the highest SP these shares have traded at for over 6 months but I think these shares will reach 2p or maybe 2.25p, I think selling them now would be too soon. Is there anyone out there who has an opinion on what will happen with the SP here?
Afternoon,Cosalt will find out tomorrow(hopefully) not for the faint hearted! could go either way as director wants company @ 0.20p! read all the boards there are some "nice shares" out there with potential don,t really give tips (as they usually go wrong!) gl with your investments(i like pfd though!)
I see you are very active on the CSLT board and have read they are a strong buy. I am looking to invest in some new shares, do you recommend them? I have never heard of them before.
Saw the director buy and thought i,d look into this company good luck,like a quiet board
I am thinking of buying shares in UNG as a speculative buy. It wouldn't take much of a jump in share price for these shares to be very profitable. UNG have shown pre tax profits in each of the last two years and have had a major restructure in the last year. They were expecting improved results for the second half of their financial year. I also find it interesting their directors have bought 4,000,000 shares in the last month. They aren't going to buy so many shares unless they believed they were going to be a good investment surely? Last year the directors bought a far, far smaller amount of shares at 2p and they soon rised 0.25p. Anyone else looking at these shares? I would like to hear your views? I am thinking an increase in share price could happen shortly on these shares.
