we're on the grey market - doesn't look so good perhaps.

It's often easier to believe a friend than a stranger. However my healthy scepticism is being tested by your claims. Roll on some positive news, anyway!

No I didn't. Your tip at the end of Jan came too late - I think the price was already around the 12p mark, so I decided it was too late. Will it go further soon? One can never tell. I feel PDG has found its right level for now. Again I'm still looking for a bit of a retrace to invest again. S.

No of course they don't. In the UK(only) PDG are bigger then Inchcape, but I can't see Inchcape wanting to take on their debt.

Which high are you measuring? Market cap - we probably are at high since price recovered from 2p, since there are now many more shares in issue. SP was well into 30s a few years back, and 25p pre-last rights issue.

I've run my calculator over Lookers, and at today's price have come to the conclusion that there is little to be made - especially after that cheeky 6.4% rise today. That was probably their rise for the next 6 months! PDG SP is still lagging a little behind LOOK, and ought to rise several pence more in anticipation of the results.

No sadly not. I was going to get back in at 17.75 then the price went up the next day. However I bought a few more XEN instead at 8.67, so not feeling too bad. I might look at Lookers, instead. Seems to be better value at the moment.

Thanks for comment on XEN bb. I had noticed the volume here, and am now wondering when we'll be back to 25p.

the rise from 8p began at about this time in January last year. Folk are waking up to the fact that the results are soonish and there ought to be a dividend.

. . . or waited two weeks having made a little extra first. Its now over 40% up today - yet there are no real rumours of news or leaks. I think its simply a large shortage of stock and the fact that the price had slipped to very low levels. Still not quite up to the late 2011 placing price of 11p (placed at a premium and underwritten effectively by the Russian govt), so I think a price of 12-15p quite possible without any news.

Hope you looked at XEN before this week! Price now doubled - my target for the year! May be too late now, but could easily retrace.

It might

Probably a very good idea, at the same time when dividend is reinstated. INCH did the same a while back, and they have not suffered as a result. The number of shares is excessively large due to the 2 large issues in recent years, and the company is now in a relatively secure position. I might even achieve a rise to £2!!!

I still cant spell VRP!!

Sorry - your other question. I'm favouring bios at the moment, and my top 3 are all there: VRG, XEN and SAR. Both XEN and VRG are under-valued and well below placing price of 2011. SAR is predicted to announce deals in the relatively near future. All worth a look. Best wishes for the new year.

No I'm not. I've held several in the past and got out at the right time. I'll give them a look over again. I've done with motors for the moment too, having sold PDG after making a good deal over the last 2 or 3 years. I feel there's not much upside left in any of them at present, and the current prices factor in the likely rise in profits (and for PDG the potential dividend).

to other holders of PDG. Sorry 2013 can't be so good!

to PDG - the only one of my holdings for the share price to double during the year - and also end at more than double! However it only ranks 4th in my overall winners for 2013, since there have been no opportunities to make money by trading. Sadly, of my choices to double only JJB did, but alas is no more. JJB ranked 5th overall, spoilt by the disaster tat the end.

sorry I mean vrp
