Last time I was hesitating about buying something like this with a high yield, and a lot of debt, it was Civitas housing REIT. I hesitated too long last time, and missed out on it being bought out for a 40% premium. I was so close to buying on several occasions! so I have bought in here, and will build a stake accordingly.

Jefferies raises Moneysupermarket.com price target to 305 (285) pence - 'buy'

Looking like someone desperately wants stock today, just went to auction.

Still rated as a buy in IC

Conflict of interest here though?

Sold a few, losing confidence. If things are going well, not announcing is underhanded. Alternatively, things not going well?

Cant lose my profit here again. Frustrating to have to start banking without news, but that is TXP for you. No interest in making it easy for PI's, I expect going forward that wont change.

Theres a short reported on this now. Dont know if it was a quickie for the results, or this will go lower. I have exited.

I have averaged up today, this looks like the first base in an uptrend, and potential cup and handle break out. All the news is good from the company, next stop 138. On the 23rd of February, it went from 130 to 139 in 2 days.

All the best mate for a speedy recovery.

Final dividend of 2.2p per share. This will be paid on 29 September 2023 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 1 September 2023. The ex-dividend date will be 31 August 2023.

Still be vigilant, like I say one of my phones was not run past Experian. This is organised crime at the end of the day. If they have a man in the phone shop it could still get taken out, or if they use a different agency.

Guys not invested here but can share my experience after a data breach:

My (large firm) accountant told me my details were breached in January. All I got was a letter saying they were sorry, and an offer of Experian assistance.

In March, I received my first paper letter, instructions to set up a direct debit with a mobile phone company. Upon investigation, with the ID that was breached it was enough for someone to get a phone on contract in my name. They take the phone home, never switch it on (as it could show their location). Wipe the phone and sell it on. In all I had about 5 of these. One of them had opted for paperless billing so I only got notified when the payments were at the point of being handed over to a collection agency. Whole thing was an absolute nightmare.

I was offered the Experian thing, which is a bit awkward to get your head round, but you MUST DO, is to set up a log in and turn on your credit lock. Had this of been on, most of these phones would have been rejected. (Experian are not the only credit agency, so if a phone company used Equifax for example, it might still get taken out.

If you are a victim, report it as a cyber fraud incident on the https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/reporting-fraud-and-cyber-crime, You will get a reference which you can use to get the contract shut down. It is very stressful. If you are a victim, there is then a register that the credit agencies share, and eventually the other agencies will know.

I set up a new bank account, closed my old one, and to this day I still use credit lock - as I have no plans for any credit.

Good call Trek, Short increased on PHNX yesterday. Those pesky GLG, there on several of my stocks. I will buy PHNX with some TXP gains once Paul inks the paper!. (Too much AIM, nothing against TXP, will keep most of it).

Back to waiting. I think Paul is looking for his biro now...

Jefferies raises TI Fluid to 'buy' (hold) - price target 150 (125) pence

Good posts, Alas. Thanks.

Glowaki, I thought I recognised the name. I just bought PODP today. Think its a similar set up, though the results were poor (unlike FRAN). Still being backed by EDF and L&G there is no way it wont go higher. Likely another take out IMO. I'm hopeful of doubling my money there, relatively quickly.

That is frustrating. But if you have the will power to sell, you have probably avoided many other disasters.

After we heard the results, I was not phased by the falling share price at all. I actually thought the price was being manipulated down, and I bought twice. They say picking bottoms is a fools game, but it seems to work for me.

I still think its a good buy at £1.50, but its probably less appealing if you have exited.

I was out and about last Saturday and saw a Pirtek branch, never noticed them before. I honestly think I will hold this for a long time, it will either get bought out or start to throw off free cash significantly. The BOD may still sell the B2C division which will reduce the debt down, and frankly is small fry compared to what else they have.

Tipped in Shares magazine, they say £1.80 next 18 months. I think we will see this far sooner personally.

Moving up on low volume, no sellers down here. My target here is around 1.40 very soon.

Perhaps the update from SPT has helped a little.

TI Fluid Systems plc will host a teleconference for analysts and investors at 11.00 am BST on 8 August 2023 following the publication of its H1 2023 Trading Update.
