Member Info for Maddog59

Been out all day come back and find I don't like the taste of the foot in my mouth. My only consolation is I did take a profit. Well done to those who held the faith and have made some good profit. Yes I felt it would drop back a bit over the next few weeks. Well I am used to being wrong.

If you are still looking why not try something a little out of left field 'The Yamazaki' a Japanese malt and very good, Scottish mate of mine wouldn't believe it wasn't a good Scotch Whiskey till I showed him the bottle.

Not the glory days SGB. H how is the whiskey consumption? Having burned a fortune on TRP I decided to get a proper job, hopping back and forth between Schipol I found that the Dutch were non too concerned who bought Duty free or not, topped up my single malts a treat . Have some KDR sitting in the red but have dipped in and out on fluctuations for a few bob but not quite sure what we are really waiting for anymore. Just seems a slow insidious decline in value. Hoping for some value but only have a token left in KDR now.

I'm thinking that saying has little credibility in share dealing, if looking at these boards is anything to go by, the very absence of any information is what seems to drive most people to distraction. I wish having no news for a period of time was a portent of good news as I have a portfolio of shares doing nothing where news has been sparse to say the least. On that basis I must be due quite a windfall.

hedge your bets sell half, keep the cash for a week or two if it goes up you get more, but less than you would have. If it goes down, as it always seems to from this area buy back in with an extra ten grand or more in shares for the next time round.

Have you researched this company at all?

I enjoyed the banter and learned a lot even if it did cost me nearly six K an expensive lesson, but I knew the risks took a chance and lost. Looking back I am pleased I got out and saved something, but I never thought HIBU had legs I was expecting a bounce to make a small profit and then to see HIBU go to the wall. Sadly I only got one thing right!

50000 shares what are you hoping for? That's only £85 at the closing SP at one stage I had over a million. Sadly I think you will get nothing. What did you pay for them?

Occasional I glance at HIBU surprised mostly to see that it is still on LSE, even more so to see the level of debate about something that is dead and gone. For those that have hope remaining I wish you well, but this is a period of morning, there's little point I suggest digging up the coffin and asking a doctor for a second opinion. HIBU is dead and with it your money. I had a few for a while, it was a punt I got a bloody nose and walked away with a lot less than I put in just before the end. My experience says you will get nothing from this and your time and effort would be better spent on something more productive. I know some lost a small fortune but there were warnings and those that failed to heed them will have learned a singular lesson. No I don't have shares in HIBU, neither do any of you any more! But best of wishes to those flogging this dead horse prove me wrong and I'll be happy for you all.

Strange the upper limit on the price on Barc's says 9.05 but when I attempt to buy its only offering 9.32p ?

Why the nose dive, not a share I have but one I keep and eye on?

I don't disagree, but surely if they rely on a significant number of subbies they have limited risk saving potential by offing their subbies and optimising in house assets. I know it depends on the asset type and skill sets but overall that would seem a benefit not a negative.

In the process of extracting some funds and have some of it earmarked for this one. Don't want everything I'm in to be as exciting (read risky) as Yell/BPC . I think this is a solid bet for a return at this price, either turn round or buyout.

Good to see you here, some discussion about fuel previously with Dan Dan who has some info on Wincanton Fuel cost. When I first looked at this at about 44 I thought it was good for sixty medium term. Have to say my opinion has not changed but price has fallen.

Are previous poor performance results expected to continue? The business appears on the surface not to warrant the down trend. I guess I'll hold off till it feels like the bottom and see how the land lies then.

You in or out of this share, I am surprised there is no chat on this after the recent down trend. They seemed sound to me at 40/44 any idea why the fall. I have not seen anything to indicate why. I don't have shares at the moment but 35/36 looks even more attractive.

Most of my spare capital is in banks, RBS Lloy and Barclays, thought I had brought at low for a return in a year or two when I might need the money, it's standing at a loss at the moment but think I'm still on for a reasonable return. However, I'm playing with a few grand have some in Yell and have averaged down to 1.91, and BPC very speculative, but potential good return if all goes well. Just think Wincanton is a solid company at a reasonable price to spread some load. I'm in this for a bit of fun and the fact that the money was wasting away in ISA's. Unless Yell or BPC do something bordering on miraculous I'll just keep playing around the edges.

Good info, I don't hold Wincanton at the moment, but am seriously considering, as I feel the price is ripe for a medium term investment looking back at the price over the past year would seem to suggest that 60 is a reasonable figure if there is any sort of uplifting info out there

Have worked with Wincanton in retail over the years seems a reasonably steady ship to me and under priced. I have been looking at this for a while now and whilst I imagine Wincanton buy their fuel on contract there must be a trade off with the price of fuel coming down it has to hit the bottom line somewhere in the next few months. Unless we do something silly in Syria the trend for oil has to be easing with the recession. Anyone have any views?
