I am up a substanial amount over two and a half years of trading - some luck - some management. With hindsight I could have made far more. Bought or sold too early or late - the usual crucial ingredient - timing. With the majority of AIM and smaller cap. shares it is like gambling blind most of the time and then throw in the arena MM manipulation. Who would have thought HVE (although oversold certainly) would rise yesterday as much as it did - Standard Life bailed at around half of the level of the top price paid yesterday. Not many I would imagine but atb to those who held catching that falling knife. Still have a holding in KDD although much reduced. If a deal is reached reckon that will be my last trade. I am quitting while I am well up and cashing in my chips (vast majority cashed already tbh) don't get that rush anymore to the same extent as I used to. GL all
Many have lost on this - I myself have - mainly pick winners - in fact only lost with this and RBS. The level this is falling to I never thought I would see tbh. How much further can this fall? Supposed to be a Trading update on the 10th April - falling away is not boding well - especially with the markets generally high atm - if we get a retrace - which is likely - this will fall way with the market at this low level and move further down.
to be an update on the 10th April as far as I understand. This falling does not bode well. Know this is a long term recovery play but WTF. Gojojo - senior product managers leaving? Anyone actually rang STY? Are they busy or just an empty shell? There has been reasonable buying at this level - the MM must have many shares on their hands.
Sold at an an average of 27 pence. Was average 35 pence - the only share this tax year that I have took a loss. Made up losses with other shares and well in profit - good year. As for STY has come back today so does at least has some support at this sub 20 pence level. Only concern is atm if the NT states he has sold his followers will do the same when they know and this will fall. Looking to enter the fray again today may have been a good day to get in around intraday low. Not been up long will wait - may get 19/19.5 Ask at some point this week. If not many other opportunities - sometimes you just have to put it down to experience and move on. GL all long suffering STY holders you deserve decent rises for a change ATB.
had a stop loss of 20 pence on his recent share buy. Anyone know if he is still holding and therefore his followers? Actually thought this may be up today - don't know why just a feeling - that would of course be wrong! Supposed to be an update on the 10th I understand. Doesn't bode well does it? Not holding but thought about getting in around the 20 pence mark. Not sure now - seems to be getting pulled down with the general market atm. Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks for the info.
Weel keep the faith mate. Moving up abit now GL all
That Lloyds contract - have STY acquired work from Lloyds Spacemen? Tempted to buy at these levels but know it will fall further if I do - what is it with this share lol?
Seems the MM kept the price to sell at 10 pence due to Standard selling and wanting the minimum 10 pence for their shares. Now they have gone the share is left to the rigours of the market. These are large moves down since which must be of concern for holders. The fall is huge over the last few weeks - there seems to be buying at this level. When is the next market update for HVE? Thanks in advance. For what it is worth I was tempted to buy around the 18/19 pence area - so glad I refrained. These do look good value at this level - continue to be on the watchlist.
You would think before tax year end STY's customers would - instead of paying the tax to the GOVT would look to refurbish some stores? Anything on the horizon that you know of?
one of the few shares I have lost money on is this - very near all time lows. Silent STY management - probably because there is little to state to the market. On their unjustifably high salaries - think Mckeever on £170k. Hired Peppermint PR at a fair cost I would imagine rather than putting one person on the payroll to promote STY in the marketplace. A real dog of a share - should pay the STY management a minimum salary and the rest in shares - then perhaps they might get off their backsides to turn this around. Thought tax year end for their client base would present some opportunities for STY - if they have obtained work it is not in the share price that for certain - the management are overpaid morons who have no regard for shareholders. I would hold Newbytuesday - there must be much more upside than downside at this level surely! If Naked Trader bails before his stop loss of 20 pence I believe his followers will bail and that can only decrease the SP further and leave sentiment at an all time low. Unlikely but this could go below 20 pence than I may be back in again.......................then again maybe not - made far more than my losses back on other shares - but I still feel STY owes me - maybe just time to put it down to experience. GL all however it goes. You still in Mozart/Bocodillo?
may rate this level as fair value. Not good for those who are in higher. Maybe the Broker re-itterations may help once they have surveyed the results. I have to state that I thought the results were impressive - unfortunately I am not a market maker lol
decent rise from these levels - around the highs it could go either way - but in % terms we are way off the highs of this share. Be worth waiting for Broker re-itterations and upgrades on the back of these results. Like the reading of all of the RNS tbh - the much improved cash balances, re-occuring level of revenue etc. As we know not easy to get many shares in STF.
a great set of results and I am sure the market will react accordingly - Broker target prices 15-18 pence and thats before all the contract wins.
No just e-mailed Investor Relations via Website.
On watchlist - but not in as yet. Amazed that the SP has just stuck at this level for a fair while now despite all the selling. A member of Havelock's Finance Department has confirmed to me that no date has yet been finalised for the next release. Kind regards, Beverley Buchanan Group Head Office Administrator Havelock Europa plc
be no problem on Wednesday - when they are there for the market to see on the bottom line. One of the very few stocks atm IMHO that is virtually guaranteed to rise on results. Mecom also reports on Wednesday know what I would buy at current SP levels. Me - 100k shares at 10.5 pence and amazed they fell away so much. Certainly 14/5 pence on results is possible and conservative. Not easy to buy many of these either - I am sure you have noticed that - had a buy on for three days to get those 100k shares. Rest easy with this share - not many you can say tha about lol
Impressive gem of a stock. All those contracts won and still to transcend to the bottom line. Already stated more than once ahead of market expectations and the last time these were over 13 pence as far as I can recall. Looking forward to Wednesday - be one of those stocks that surge north on the update with the usual Broker upgrades following. Was 15-18 pence target prices on last results and thats before all the contract wins. Very undervalued - the market always catches up with undervalued stocks. Sure you won't regret buying in - 100% convinced on that.
At least the spread is more reasonable now. With the Prelims. next Wednesday and I am waiting for those results - all the contract wins - transcending to the bottom line. The seller will regret bailing I am convinced - the buyer of those shares will be truly happy. 14/5 pence this time next week minimum and that is tremendous upside in a week. Broker target prices 15-18 pence (last results) and that is before all the contract wins. This is a strong buy. The seller must really need the money or a muppet IMHO.
