Norvigica, That's what I thought, but they only bought about 8k shares (about £15k) so not exactly big. Would agree though that there does seem to have been a lot more sells than buys the past couple of days yet the price has crept up. Perhaps given the large'ish spread a lot of the sells are actually buys. DD

Malaika111, Soz meant to include source: http://www.investorschronicle.co.uk/2014/07/24/shares/news-and-analysis/howden-tipped-for-cash-return-mfiSI1Veyi6T6D52YAlaNK/article.html GL DD

Malaika111, So cash rich city analysts reckon a special divi may be in the offing. DD

I'm with you on this Richard C.............it looks like the lazy bastards consider a re-hashed presentation as being the "trading update", not in my book though, give us something FFS......I'm losing patience with this outfit. DD

Not very good at all.......for an order more than twice the average value you would have thought the CEO could have spared a couple of minutes to do his bit in promoting good customer service as well as the business as a whole. Thanks for feeding back. Good Luck DD

The CEO's email address, if it helps, is: Steve.Birmingham@safestyle.co.uk Could not find a direct telephone number for the CEO. Hope you get it sorted (not invested here by the way)......be interested to know how you get on, it may sway my investment decision depending on how the CEO responds to you. Thanks DD

No probs Libero, Is it the same El1te that posts on here?.....assume it is. As you say fantastic analysis. Thanks, PMR will have a butchers. DD

Libero This may be useful, bit old though (Feb 2014): http://www.theel1tetrader.com/2014/02/sagentia-what-is-fair-value.html DD

Who is undercutting Safestyle? The difference between a great company and a great investment is the price at which you buy the shares.......so waiting to see if these have a bit further to fall or not before making (I hope) a great investment. GL DD

Forget last post........managed to find the article from last weeks IC. Thanks DD

Good morning Jange - good article, where was it from or can you post the link if don't mind. Thanks DD

..........needs a positive trading update, possibly an update Wednesday before the Investor Conference?. Hope all is well AA. GL DD

Today?......5.5p I believe. DD

AA - A what? Lcar - There was an RNS Friday, hence the sp dropped.........good news? GL DD

Would not fully disagree, I'm new to this and would say I'm a glass half-full type of person. My naive and inexperienced view is there has to be peaks and troughs.....so once the FTSE100 holds above it's highest ever of 6,950, the odds are it will fall back, whether you can call this a "correction" or the natural order of things I don't know. Not a TA but since it's record high in late 1999, support seems to occur at about 3,500 with resistance at 6,900-7,000. Given the FTSE100 has only been in existence since 1984 (I think) then if markets are cyclical, peaks/troughs say every 5 to 7 years, then IMV there isn't a lot of previous history to establish with any certainty what is a correction or just the natural order of things. If there is still 18 months before a correction and this could just mean a 10% drop (from what I've read) of over valued Companies, then is this sufficient to pull out and sit on 100 % cash?. The FTSE100 historic peaks to troughs take about 3years, and there has only really been one trough to peak (c2003-2007), so again given its close to hitting resistance of 6,900 it would be fair to assume another correction is imminent...but will it just be a marginal 10% fall or a full blown decline to support levels?. The VIX "volatility Index" is at it's lowest since just before the financial crisis of 2007, but again this merely mirrors what the markets are doing - S&P500 & DJI hitting new highs, FTSE getting close to its highest. So the fear/volatility is at a low......peaks & troughs again. Personally I'm going to see what happens in the next month (give me time to search for any under valued small caps and confirm my buy list) and then hopefully fully re-invest. Then when/if the full blown market correction (continued decline to support levels - about 40%-50% below resistance) appears to be happening then convert to 100% cash and wait.......the iffy part is knowing its a full blown correction!, hopefully will be more astute, skilled and less naive by then!. Good luck and apologies for rambling....and apologies to fellow GDP'ers for going off topic. DD Ps tried pasting a FTSE 100 chart from 1984 to-date but not attained those skills yet!

That's "would have to happen" not go to happen..........bloody Apple! DD

Glad all is ok with you and your making loads!. Not making sweet FA here and my other goldie ORE, overall still above water but everything (well all of mine!) took a bit of a bashing today. Been reducing my portfolio to sit on more cash for a bit and see if the doomsayers prophecy of a market correction comes to fruition........my gut though says with the economy starting to pick up that a black swan would have go happen - with Irag kicking off and Putin itching for a scrap who knows I suppose. Let's hope the July update here will be good news for a change....and gold gets back to $1,800/oz....always the optimist. Have a good weekend. DD

How you doing AA?, well I hope......apart from being bewildered (me too!). Believe the price was down before any trades!. Does seem odd another update early July........maybe bogroll is right. GL DD

I was referring to kyuw's first ever posting on here (sat 04:53).....IMV was arrogant wrt investing here (not QPP/COMS). DD

That so called "experts" all of a sudden pop up and lambast all investors in not knowing why they are invested in the first place.............get real, why do you think we are in here, and have been for many years, so please refrain from insulting our (or anybody's else's for that matter) intelligence. Arrogance is not a particularly good trait to have when trading/investing IMV. Oh and thanks for enlightening me, never knew it was all about supply and demand and how that influences the sp, you live and learn!. Thanks DD PS no doubt you have been trading/investing for 50 years, have been very very successful, have sooooooo much money you don't know what to do with it, blah blah blah........so many of the same on every BB.
