Wasn't a company I was aware of JaI. When comparing the two companies it does seem they both have ridiculous valuations. Them massively over and us significantly under. Ah well " one day Rodney/Dave we will be millionaires " D.

Good finish today " for a change " Closing auction was almost 600.000 shares at the full ask of 166.40p. A million pounds just like that !!!! Kicking myself for not having another last buy this morning. Eventually elected for PHTM they are also down this week. D.

Burton, like yourself I also have been looking into the laundry roll out numbers in the Uk and can find nothing. I can confirm that two have opened close to where I live in the west of Scotland. Full year results due soon. Last word from company was in January saying " trading in line with BOD expectations " So i would expect them to show nothing less than that !! D.

It's good to see all the good stuff in one article. D.

A couple of reasonably sized director buys this morning. Both on or around the final results date. One at £100k the other £50k. Refreshing that this board should actually buy their shares at market price. Prompted me to make another " last " buy today!! D.

Just wondering if the normal see-saw share price movement for divi paying companies will apply here. I've recently had a few shares in my portfolio which went against the rise and fall share price route around ex divi date, here's hoping PETS is another one. D.

I hadn't really thought to much about the laundry roll out in the UK. I live in the west of Scotland and in the last year there has been two new self operating laundries opened in my locale. One in a BP garage and one in a Morrison's store. Time for the badger to get Lola the spaniel off the couch and out for a walk to see if they are PHTM. run. D.

Just being nosey. Are you thedark1night by any chance ? D.

Hi Wizard Don't have a particular price for re-entry' Sold out at start of May for a reasonable profit plus divi. No funds available to buy back during the recent mini dip to 168p, " wish I had " I'm not expecting any news positive or otherwise from the BOD until final results so I am just biding my time. Don't do LTH anymore, I monitor about 10 different companies which i dip in and out of when i feel the price is right this just happens to be one of them. Wizard If your saying PHTM is a well run profitable undervalued company I agree, that's why it's on my watchlist. Steve good luck with your trading update in May, we've been waiting for it since February. D D.

Patience the order of the day once again. D.

Reverse logic at work H-hi. D.

A trading statement can come at any time, but I wouldn't expect one here BOD have been very quite off late. End of financial year was April 30th. Reporting of results last year was 20th July. Second half of dividend payment last year was around October, that was just over 3p. Wouldn't expect anything dramatic here sub final results posting. This message board and the management board have been very very quite for some time. Personally I'm not even in here, still waiting for my desired entry price. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. D.

Seems to me on reading the results rns this morning we are invested in a company whose board appear to me anyway to be on top of every aspect of managing and running a specialist retail and services company. If the shorters read the rns and decide there's money to be made continuing or indeed increasing their shorts then good luck to them I fear they're going to get their fingers burned. I see some are concerned that the majority of growth is in the services sector, i fail to see what difference it makes where the revenue and profits come from surely it all ends up in the same pot. Off coarse the board could have increased the dividend but as there is a commitment in the rns to continue growing all parts of the business the money is probably better spent there to achieve mid to long term shareholder value. All very much IMHO obviously. D.

Managed a final top up this morning in the 156's. I certainly wasn't expecting that Dividend payment round the corner, surely that's GOOD news. hang on though this is PETS !!!!!! Time for me at least to leave this alone till at least july/August and start looking for other juicy targets ( I hope ) D.

I guess we're all happy then. So much for FT's profit warning !! Interesting day ahead guys. D.

You've been a busy man sir. I'll just fire up the Halifax research at seven am. and read the Rns. Goodnight Mulder. No doubt we'll be back tomorrow. I'm watching Mcs at the moment, there flirting with the 170's which just happens to be where the old goat moves in. D.

Whatever the reason 190p to 160p in 4 weeks never mind the even greater 52 week collapse to this all time low should tell us this company is in dire straits. It just isn't . It obviously isn't a good situation for anyone locked in holding heavy losses, but Mulder as you alluded to the other day it would appear on the face of it to be a great entry price for new investors !!!!!!!!!!!!!! " maybe " Think tomorrow will be a busy day on the PETS board. Party time or Valium time, not long to find out !!!!!!!!! D.

Hi Mulder Didn't do Afren my worst ever investments were Exite and GKP. I remember selling them both a few years ago for around 80p - 90p ish. Sustained reasonably heavy losses in each of them. Actually gave up share dealing for a few years after that. Turns out I was one of the lucky ones, if I hadn't got out when I did i would have lost £10k. A few negative posters appeared today, I have no problem with that, we all see things differently. I see PHTM back to normal daily fluctuation. Still looking for an entry price there, sold out for reasonable profit and divi. D.

Sometimes it has to be done sir. you will find out tomorrow if your decision was sound. D.

Whatever the results it would seem that at the current price PETS would appear to be undervalued. As you say Mulder good opportunity for new investors seeking value. Fortunately for me I only bought in again last week with a further top up this afternoon. I don't do LTH any longer. In and out now as quick as I can ( that would be share dealing ) Mostly with a small profit occasionally a small loss. It's only a hobby for me, passes the best part of 4 ish hours a day mind you. Keep it up Mulder I'm always interested in reading your posts across various boards. D.
