Commenting on the results, Michael Gatenby, Alliance's Chairman, said: "We have established a new level of profitability in the business, which has created an exciting platform for our future growth. The current year has started well and, earlier this month, we were particularly pleased to welcome MVM Life Science Partners to our Board and shareholder register. We look forward to the coming year with great confidence." Business Review The resilience of our portfolio produces another record year Overview Alliance Pharma has now delivered its third successive half-year of much improved profitability since the restructuring and strategic changes announced in 2007. Sales, profits and cash generation all reached record levels in 2008 in a very encouraging year for the Group. These results reflect the resilience of the Group's portfolio, which, by being predominately prescription driven, is highly resistant to recessionary pressures. It also benefits from the continuing success of our dermatology strategy - spearheaded by the promotion of the Hydromol® range of products for eczema and other dry skin conditions. As a result of this strengthening financial performance, we have decided that the business is now reaching the appropriate point in its development to commence paying a dividend.

I read with interest your post of the 19th, immediately after posting it. I also took profits around the 75p mark, I was in @ 49p What i am interested in, and I am only starting off the Fib retrace research, is the significance of the percentages. When you posted: The recent lows of 40p and the recent highs of 82p give a 42p difference which we will apply Fibonacci theory to, to see which stop off points KAH is likely to make, here are the 4 key percentages that this might retrace to. 23.2%= 72.6p 38.2%=66.3p 50%= 61.1p 61.8%=56.04p Do the percentages point to the probability ? I.e. there is a 61.8% probability it will retrace to 56.01p? Thanks for posting too...I am a novice charter and use MACD, RSI and Stochastic regularly for entry / exit, but starting to learn candlestick patterns and EW theory...the more tools and indicators the better in my book :) I will be looking to get back in to KAH around the 55p mark me thinks.

SENIOR POISED FOR FURTHER JOB CUTS A further 500 jobs are to be axed at engineering group Senior in the first four months of 2009, chief executive Mark Rollins has said. The additional cuts, following 500 last year, are expected to reduce costs by 19 million pounds in 2009. The announcement came as the company unveiled strong results for 2008, with pre-tax profits jumping 50 percent to 51.3 million pounds on revenue up 19 percent to 564.2 million pounds. The job cuts are seen as a result of weak land vehicle markets and poor business jet and regional markets.
I don't get the fact that so many shares (almost 30 Mil in total, or am I missing something?) were sold or changed ownership and the SP didn't budge ? If Goldshield were the recipients of these shares then the sp would of shot up ? Confused :/
another RNS came out at 16:47 today....: Emerging Metals Increases Stake RNS Number : 7522N Kalahari Minerals PLC 23 February 2009 Kalahari Minerals plc / Ticker: KAH / Index: AIM / Sector: Mining & Exploration 23 February 2009 Kalahari Minerals plc ('Kalahari' or 'the Company') Emerging Metals Increases Stake Kalahari Minerals plc, the AIM listed mining exploration group with a portfolio of copper, base metal and uranium interests in Namibia, was notified on 23 February 2009 that Emerging Metals Limited has purchased 2,475,000 ordinary shares in the Company, representing approximately 1.38% of the Company's total voting rights, raising its total interest in Kalahari to 15,820,000 ordinary shares representing 8.84% of its total voting rights.
EML represents a more cost effective route to the Uranium exposure (in a good way) :P I had KAH but sold with a nice profit last week as it fel for the first time. I had planned to buy back in but will lurk with intent and have bought EML just for the link back in. GL ALL
