Dude don't even worry about it. Just leave them alone entirely for a year or two - this is a growth industry, and PVCS is an industry leader. Right now it's undervalued even by recent earnings; in 5 years I wouldn't be surprised if we were at 150p. Just enjoy the sunshine until then :-)

Yes looking good recently. Sorry about earlier confusion with Titan Europe 2006-5; this is a financial vehicle from Credit Suisse that has had a lot of defaults on loan agreements: http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2009/09/03/69781/commercial-titanomachy/ Nothing to do with TSW though.

It looks like Titan Europe Ltd. is the former trading name of Titan Steel Wheels, which is now part of the Titan Europe Plc group: http://www.agmachine.com/ammd6696.htm

I don't know what the connection is - I would assume they're the same company, but by not putting "PLC" on the end they've avoided having those feeds going to a lot of shares websites...?? Maybe not - but strange that there's 2 companies with the same name. I've been getting worried about TSW recently, most notably because of this: http://www.allenovery.com/AOWEB/Knowledge/Editorial.aspx?contentTypeID=1&contentSubTypeID=7944&prefLangID=410&itemID=54986&langID=410 Which sounds like they've been speculating rather than attending to the business of making wheels...

Anyone know why CCL just jumped up 5%?

But not sure the downward trend is fully exhausted just yet, let's see if this rocket keeps rising the next 3-4 weeks...

don't dispair - over 3 years I'm sure this stock will return to its true valuation; I am expecting right about 100p. This stock is a fantastic buy at this price, and any further drops just increase its appeal

Great to hear from you - what is your prediction? yes I am holding long term, as I feel that they'll do very well in the post-recession period, but I feel that they may drop further on FY results... and if so I will (probably) buy more

Looks like this board has gone back to sleep :-P

is in freefall...I love this stock but I'm not buying more just yet. Topping up @ 40p :-)

aren't they supplied by PVCS? :-)

Ex-div date is May the 14th

Just re-read the March update; if the total revenue is approximately £260 what would the estimated EPS be?

Agreed - and I think the downward trend is slowing. At these prices this stock is a huge bargain.

Yep - would guess that those large sells are the last of the Lehmans - they only had 2 or 3 million left last I checked.

Right now all the rival technologies are either too inefficient, too expensive, or too impractical to use. There are some exciting developments with nanotechnology, but for now the best technology for large scale solar power is still solar wafers - and PVCS produces some of the best quality wafers in the world. As far as I know they are not currently investing in new technologies, but they ARE actively refining the current technology. I'm in PVCS because 1) yield of 4c per share; 2) very low P/E; 3) P/Book of less than 1; 5) it has what looks like great management that control costs very well and invest wisely (IMO) ... so all in it's a bargain :-)

Great company, crazy price...I will top up as soon as it gets into a decent upswing - I like this company a lot. I think the price MIGHT be depressed because the stock is likely to drop out of the FTSE 250 if it keeps falling, but who knows. Anyway good luck!

Here's a share I've been watching & buying for some time: Titan Europe. Rose up to 40% yesterday, but still at a very cheap level - less than 0.2x book and solid business.

I just noticed that they began selling in January, and crossed the 5% threshold on the 28th. So they've sold about 1 million shares in 2 months and SP has dropped 25%. 3.3 mil more to sell, hoping to see a nice 50% drop over next 2-3 months and buy in at 10p

So...if that 4% is held by Lehman Bros, which is now in administration and being sold off to various companies (Barclays included) and they've started selling off that 4%, isn't the share price going to tank over the next few weeks? Unless of course the 4% selling is matched by an equal number of buys...
