sorry, wrong site, but have just got a few jundred quid for Equator EEL which was delisted, though it a good time to ask if you are still holding any hope for anything on IVE and have you or anyone else heard anything recently

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. I enjoy when I see that we have helped each otehr. I have made good money on many goodpieces of advice here and have learnt who to trust and who not to trust. I took a few of OXB but I think I ownt stay long term there. It just seems overramped and to o many bought too late and are now talking it up, one for a small punt and hope for a big jackpot but could also go wrong , the same with SAR which I have bought long ago. All these pharmaceuticals are shares for long term, they are waitingf or a big breakthough and if it comes or if they get bought out by the biggies they can be multibaggers but they could work for years without seeing results. I like for the long term companies like INch, PDG, MNR who have already risen well but Ithink for the long term have more to come. Havent looked at ASM but will have a look. Good luck!

Price readjusted back up this morning as expected after the late dip. So sorry to read about you selling. I was wondering who was selling at all and I have expalined many times why I am not. The price is getting closer to where it should be on existing earnings but has more to come based onfutrue earnings and even more on takeover/management buyout which has to happen at some stage and I think soon. No TMC can live withhaving their major competitior owning over 20% of tehir shares in the long term so something willhave to give. I don't see any reason for any downturn in price other than profittaking and as soon as we have seen this it has comeback up very quickly again. I can understand your reasons for selling and releasing capital and I have topsliced virtually everything else I have which has made good profitts, but simply cnat get myself to sell this one and potentially lose out on a further doubling. I have been in this for a long time, had great losses but managed to avergae down to 10 and now sitting at a potential huge profit although I do realise it wont be profit before I sell. It is a game of nerves but for now I am definitely holding out and wont even reconsider that before we reach 50 which at this speed could be quite soon. It went to below 5 Christmas last year, would be nice to see 1000% in 1 year!!

dropped a bit in the melee at the end of day, should be interesting opne tomorrow and Friday is normally a godd day for announcements, will keep a close eye on it tomorrow.

yes gone from 30 to 40 in 3 weeks so something is going on. Everytime somebody sells the shares get picked up. Nobody wants to be caught out without these shares and the higher thebase before any official announcement the higher we are going to go whne it comes. Wish I knew what is going on but for now will simply enjoy looking at my portfolio summary which has never been this high.

Can't find any reason but as I said before no message from HRG that the rise is unsubstantiated.would be interesting to hear if tehre are any HRG enployees here who arehearing anything, obviously without breaking insider trading news. In the meantime I am celebrating another 10% rise. I hold a fair amount of these babies and 10% rise means a hell of a difference to myfinances.

The price takes another substantial hike up and we ares till waiting for an announcement. The positive is that there has been no announcement from the company stating tehre is no reason for the rise the last few weeks, which indictae to me that there is a reason. It could eitehr be that September has seen a real pick up in business travel or that the expected takeover or management buy-out is just around the corner or it could be both. Callandy, half tehperiod you mention was in HRG's full year result which matched last year's result and the first qurter this year was dwon 7% on expectations but with cut in expenses end of year should be in line with expectations. Very few companies are down 40%, only this very heavy into banking and insurance, generally they are down 35-30% and things arenow coming back. HRG has maintained their clients well, won good new ones and cut cost besides getting good revenue from outside UK which with the weak pound has helped their accoutns further. Normally I would say to topslice if you have substantial profits but This one I willnot touch till we reach 50 and then I will look again. The profits are more orless where they were when the SP was 80 and the company has positioned it self costwise to really increase profits when business picks up, andthat is all without even considering the takeover which from this base should send the shares to between 60 and 90. JUst my opinion DYOR

took a further 10 minutes and 50 has been broken, now at 53, hope it holds at least at this level till end of the day, will be agreat base although might topslice.

have you seen the news onthis today, taken a good jump forward, might see 50 + today and I think further news to come. Also I believe you were in Horizonte at some stage, hope you stayed in, Did you ever take my tip on minerva or HRG, been some good weeks for them

been away all day and very pleased to se this rise, can't find anything new anywhere except a few very interesting stories about general pickup in corporate travel. I heard HRG were laying off some people especially in accounting in Scandinavia where they have never been very strong except Norway but although I feel sorry for the people gathering services centrally make sense financially. The rise help up today and if you can look at the chart over quiet a long period now we see these 3 steps forward and 1 step back which suits me just fine. One day the rise will have a real reason and bytheat I mean the awaited takeover or MBO and then the it will be 20 or 30 steps forward but all these rises means the base from where that big rise will come keep getting higher. I have broken all my rules in terms of proportion of portfolio in one share but can not bring myself to sell when I can't seea single reason for the share dropping. 2 weeks ago I was hoping we could finally beat 30 and stay there, we are already over 20% higher, faboulous. HRG is going to pay my mortgage off! If anyone has any news please share them with us here.

standard annnouncement to clarify howmany shares a company has in circulation. To be used by companies to show how big share they hold of the overall shares so they dont fall foul of the rules about having increased or decreased their holding. Nothing in the announcement that changes anything. generally looks like prices have dropped a bit but had probably gone up too fast without nay news. The busienss travel scene has ahd a good september so things should be looking OK

I am the same, normally very disciplined and take profits of the top, but havent touched this one and I ahve long since passed my normal targets. The price went up 10% in teh last 30 minutes and we might learn before opening tomorrow why which willhelp make your mind up. However none of the elemenst that I have been waiting for has haappend. the price rise is simply due to adjusting to fair value and it still has some way to go.The price was ebtween 60 and 80 18 months ago when profits were around the same as now, in the meantime they have cut costs and come through the downturn verywell, so I am waiting for: 1) an announcement thatbusiness is picking up 2) an anouncemnt of eitehr takeover or bringing it back to privatehands in a managament buyout togetehr with proabbly DNATA Eitehr of these or a comoaniation should see the price shoot past 50 and in a t/o somewhere between 60 and 80 . I can not see any reason for a major fall in price so I have set my next review point at 50 but follow the industry and announcements very closely. I have what is for me at least a big amount inthis one and it has been very good to me and i see no reason for a change. i would hate to go out of it now but if you feel you have to do something just take out your original investment and let the profit ride.

I odnt want the trading day to end, the price is just shooting up, havent found a reason for it yet but everytime it does this hoping that this is the announcement taht wehave been waiting for

first bit of good news with sign of pickup in the sector: http://www.travelweekly.co.uk/Articles/2009/09/24/31982/travel-management-companies-start-recruiting-again.html spoke to a lot of people in the last week or so and August was awfyl as expected but September has been above expectations and actually quite busy

Hi Oilbarron. hopeyou are well, Isn't it amazing, just about 7-8 times the return in 9 months and more or less an unbroken line, and I for one am holding for at least 50 p if not double up form here and that is within the next year and without the takeover which Is till fully believe will happen. Nobody can live long term with their biggest competitor owning over a fifth of their business. If and when the TO takes place or it goes back in privatehands I am expecting anywhere between 60 and 90 p

I think we can well and truely declare ourselves as haven broken throughthe 30 level here is the latest story from the industry press on HRG which is very nice: http://www.e-tid.com//News-Home/HRG-announces-consultancy-promotions.aspx

have been away so just een your comment, I am convinced the new SME product did not cause the rise we have seen the last weeks or so. There is definitely something brewing but I hear that business across the sector is showing signs of picking up so that is another positve. We just need one positive RNS from Hoggs or of course a statement of 1 of the 2 big stakeholders having increased tehir holding and we could see this back to 60 which is whre it camef rom when the big fall started. exciting times

not enough to move share price but everything counts: HRG will service Credit Suisse in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, the companies announced. Hogg Robinson Group said it would handle the financial firm's travel in those seven countries from its Dubai office. HRG already provides travel management services to Credit Suisse in more than a dozen countries

10% rise today, if it wasn't so sure about this share I would probably topslice as I usually do with my other shares, but on this one I would be happy to buy even more at this price but I have already broken all my principles as to how much of my prtfolio I will have in any 1 share. Just as a reminder this share was under 5 around christmas time, the company was worth less than the profits it has made every year for amny years and I used the occasion to average down to 10. I had been into HRG much earlier. The results have held steady in the worse year ever seen by this business (iI am in the business myself) and 2 suitors have each taken over 20% of the company and we are waiting for them to pounce. Both in terms of fundamentals and potential takeover taregt they should be over 50 and maybe around 80 for t/o so even woth the biggest holding and biggest profit I have ever had moneywise in one share I am letting it all run till we see 50. Hope th rest of you have had as good a week as I have, have a great weekend
