Hi, does anyone know why LGEN are up on high volume today? I've held for a couple of years, adding to my holding when the price was in the 60s. I'm thinking of selling out at this level - with the intention of buying back in on weakness?

Christian 1, I did exactly the same as you. Do we sit tight for better news and a bounce or sell out at a loss? Do you know anything that might help me decide? I'm in OXB too, with equally disappointing results. Fortunately both holdings are modest - even moreso now!

I do hope so. I bought back in a few months ago and am showing a 'significant' loss. Any pick up in the economy should benefit a business that seems sound and well set to respond to a changing market. Fingers crossed!

I've bought in @ 88.5p. They seem in 'good nick' following the RI. I'm looking or them to recover over the next year or two. Their strategy of investing/buying during a recession and while prices are depressed looks a good one. I'm expecting a decent return over time.

Don't know what's moving the SP.... but I've sold, for a small profit. I can't find any news or activity that could account for the move in the share price - up almost 20% since the beginning of the year. Volumes are relatively low and with more sellers than buyers. no sign of stakebuilding. If you're still holding these - Good Luck

I've been in these for a while now. Made a profit on them in the past, but not this time. I'm thinking of seeling out and taking a modest loss. Can anyone tell me anything to make me reconsider?

I've just bought in. The OFWAT review is certainly depressing the price. This always happens. Hoping for a bounce when the final ruling is published. Defensives should come into their own when the market pauses for breath or better still corrects. I'm viewing utilities as 'safe' income play and much better return than money in the bank.

As always, very helpful and well-reasoned postings. I look forward to hearing you updates/thoughts on this one. I originally at bought a few at 50p+; bought a lot more at 5p just before Christmas after reading your posts. I sold out in the mid-20s; realised my mistake and got back in between 21 and 27p. I'm going to stick with it now, at least to 50p. This has been a good one for me. I recently bought Antisoma (ASM) at just under 30p. Now showing a useful profit . I'm looking at Oxford Biomedica (OXB) after yesterday's news and 50%+ rise. Hoping to get in around 15p. Any thoughts on either of these? Thanks for your input. Keep it coming.

I've been watching ISG for a little while. Should do well as economies recovers. Cash and a worldwide spread should stand this company in good stead. Any comments on this one?

I bought in last week at 29.9p. The recent press comments are encouraging and directors buying can only help. My broker suggest a target price of 64p. Buys outstripping sales by 2:1. Hold on for the ride.

Anyone interested in these? I've recently read two articles recommending them as a quality stock in the sector and an income play. I'm considering purchasing at around the current price (I'll probably wait for a market pull back). Would welcome any feedback/comments/thoughts/recommendations.

Had a quick read through the statement. Seems within the range of expectations - with no nasty surprises. What, if any, impact do interested contributors think these results will have on the stock price? Do these results make a takeover more or less likely? Will they have any effect on the timimg of any action. I held these for a year+. I increased my holding (x4) when the SP fell to 5p. I sold out last week at 24p+ ('No-one went broke by taking as profit'), but will keep watching and buy back on weakness.

278p - up 26p. A good start. What happens next?

Talk here of disappointing results and another attack from the shorters. David Buik has just said on Bloomberg that these are great results and he is expecting SP up 8-9p. We'll see who's right very soon.

These are excellent results - turnover up, profits up, dividend up. Against the present economic backdrop this is a great performance. The slight concern is the statement that conditions are increasingly challenging and visibility re business and profits next year is not so good. I'm staying with this one.

SP rising nicely ahead of results. CTO should benefit from Govt investment (spending!) on infrastructure projects. Should report good figures, tomorrow, and a chunky dividend. kiwikev, are you still interested in this one?

Not Qatar, Abu Dhabi. Thanks for the link, 'bandito'.

Just bought 10000 @ 20.44p. LWB has sold of underperforming businesses and has signed a deal to develop artificial grass business in Qatar. If/when the UK housing market starts to pick up (early signs of a pick up in the US), this company will do well. I'm going to sit on these. The brokers' concensus price is 124p. That would suit me fine. Any other interested investors out there?

Were these to do with the recent rights issue? Even if it is, it looks like a concerted show of confidence in the company. I've owned these in the past - and made money. I'm thinking of getting back in. Any ideas what the dividend is likely to be for 09? The results said that intended to resume the dividend at a level consistent with cover at 2x.

I've held these for some time. Yesterday's announcements looks like good news for NWS and J Menzies at the expense of Dawson. They operate in a declining market. Further consolidation looks likely. The lean, mean and innovative will prosper. I think NWS fit this description. I'm sticking with them.
