Sounds promising,looking forward to the breakout and it would be good for this one to get back over a couple of quid,though i,m of a mind to hold as the yield is impressive i think,cheers for the bollinger info,it certainly worked with that xp power share a couple of weeks back,good luck all!

Fairly quiet here,surprised its not traded more as we,re still just off the lows and i,m assuming the divi is safe?

Yes,i agree,too much bureacracy ruins the broth and at the risk of being outrageous,i also believe we should be out of the ec,afterall when have the french or germans helped us! Most of the known world speaks english as a first language and we have a commonwealth to trade with or even just NAFTA,so why allow whatevers left of our industry to be further destroyed by kow towing to Brussels! Anyway,aside from that,yes its very easy to lose money gambling on shares,but i,m coming out of a steep learning curve and careful as to what i have a punt in these days but that said,i do love the fact that when you buy or sell the deal is done and dusted with no dithering after as you get in retail and to a greater extent in the residential property market! Catch up soon bud,james

Building up for the results maybe?

Cheers for the tip,will investigate further,also off-topic,have you got into dignity yet?

No i think theres some serious money being quietly invested here,hence the after hours deals when only the most avid of us are watching...............

Welcome aboard to a sensible and fairly safe company that you dont have to "worry" about as its got a hell of a lot of potential and although it might not race ahead,its unlikely to retrace heavily either, a steady riser in my opinion.

Just took the opportunity to knock out some of my jpr and top up on this dip as i just have a feeling we could see some interesting movement on the S.P post results,just a gut feeling based on how its breached the 30 and what happened with balfours last week.

And tipped by the weekend ft on the back of a panmure recommendation too,target price over £8 as i recall,nowhere near as exciting a divi as our SQS but i,ve got a few already as a capital growth play sub-£6. Good luck if you join up here,james

Good evening! What a busy site this is becoming! Anyway,just needed to share with you and any others who might feel in anyway apprehensive about this company that their name is plastered all over the side of some bridge or roadworks on the A34 which i drove past about an hour ago,always reassuring,its a bit like seeing vans with the name of a company you,ve invested in,they are real and they looked really busy and "happening" somewhat reflected in the recent S.P.movements!

Its a brave and stupid government thats tampers with the housing market as real estate overall is over half the net asset value of UKplc,the last lot did it with dual miras relief and the current lot with home information packs,since i,m in property i have a few years tucked under my belt and its frightening how naive the politicians are about the results of their nonsensical policies and the effects on us mortals.Mind you by convincing 95% of the public not to even consider putting their houses on the market due to HIPS,they may have inadvertantly avoided a housing crash when the rest of the economy was in free fall,due to supply and demand,even though the rest of the economy teetered as without people moving ,the vast army of kitchen folk,plumbers,carpet fitters,surveyors,agents,solicitors,candle stick makers et al had nothing to pay the bills with......they really dont get it do they! Anyway,i like the get your own back strategy on the camp-site idea,and i hope some of your punts come in,i seem to have had a better week after my consolidated bets strategy kicks in but with the inevitable groans as ones i got rid of afters decades(it feels)of holding go up the moment i bale out,frustrating at times.....good weekend mate and hope this one comes good for you soon,james

Nice steady finish,have a good weekend mate!

Glad to have some company on this one at last,good luck all and hope we all make some serious dosh over time!

An early profit is always tempting, i,ve done it myself a few too many times,short term pleasure and longterm regrets when it carries on creeping up after the initial profit-taking after a good run and then the dilemma of buying back in at a higher price! Its your choice as its your money but as a rule of thumb,if its a sensible company with good fundamentals and pays dividends, i,ve learned to ignore the spikes and avoid the temptation,and i could bore everyone for hours about the ones i sold too quick but wont as it,ll annoy everyone and embarrass me, your call but since you asked,dont sell,hold...good luck(GL)!

Looking forward to that,it could give us another boost,though i,ve always seen this as a steady riser a penny here,penny there,hope to be proven wrong and see a hefty but sustainable jump as i,ll be tempted to flog them if they have a rally and i originally bought them as a cheap entry point for increasing dividends,either way looks like we,ve all picked a winner!

I first got into these around the time of the "pick of the litter" tip in the ft a while back,strong forward order book,good management,diverse projects,longeivity,sustainability,resiliance etc and most importantly for me as i see this as an investment stock over and above a "gambling" stock,a hint of increasing dividend payments policy in there somewhere. They dont suffer the ups and downs of the housing market as they,re out of that one and they also dont seem to rely on public money projects as much as they appeared to previously. As to why they are on the rise now,maybe a few more investors are looking to buy in as they,re a much cheaper one than the likes of balfour beatty or carillion,so might see more upside potential on S.P. rises alone,thats my view anyway,good luck to all investors here!

Well spotted!

Nice to see 30 breached,and holding...................

Not bad thanks,alas we have no matches at present although i,m keeping a eye on those photo-me things. Still planning an isle of wight trip but have a businees too which these days means you work around your staff rather than how it should be, it,ll be a last minute long weekend i suspect. Glad the new machine is paying the mortgage,good time to make capital repayments too dep.on what breed you,re saddled with! Catch up soon buddy

Hi there, havent rejoined this party as have been continuing my policy of less companies,more shares,so frustrating for my broker but what the hell eh! Hope you are well and the new machine is proving to be a good investment in your business. Seem to have consolidated my main gambles to lonr/sdy/hawk/mwa/jpr/moni/pmk/cosalt(with regrets)/pvr and a few i,m trying to trade out of like crnd and sty,outside of my yielding stuff which gets tweaked here and there.Are you in any of the afore-mentioned? If not,why not!!! Only joking,but have a look at those moni if you havent already,a bit young and techy,seem to have a good product and a way to go,contemplating having a few more but also reeling from 3 rights/open offers which you have to or you lose out. Anyway,apologies to the caravan gang for interloping here,james
