Thanks for that info Hot , thats really usefull and helpful. I am still trying to pull as much info together as i can before i trade my first spread. I think I will go with IG and watch for a while then start off with £1 a point untill i understand the platform. A £100 a point, yes does sound scary and the four figure points sounds manic. I guess that was how some of the guys in the old days of RHK and othere oiles went bump and lost everything. My VOD shares are in the blue yippie

" Sell when blue and spend it on yourself " Hi hot, yes, just re read my slip in and out maybe I should have said get in and out less connotations that way Lol. Thoroughly peed off to be honest buy into HSBC stupidly thinking it’s a good price and into Lloyds. HSBC tumbles, because the bank of Portugal is having a hissing fit so banco Portugal drags down all the banks. Meanwhile our little £ economy over here is so successful the £ becomes so strong nobody wants to buy from us and we only import. The weak euro mucks up mine and GS long on Smiths and now drags it even further down. So now half the pundits think our economy is strong re our strong £ However ::::: The bank of London (whops I mean England, silly me) doesn’t put up interest rates so the city thinks our economy can’t stand on its own two feet which in turn plunges the FSTE down through all of 10 20 30 50 60 etc averages and of course its SMA (nothing simple about a simple moving average where FTSE concerned and down we all go (and really irritating people buy gold and push it down even further) Struth , Science fiction makes more sense than the markets most of the time. Prior to this I got up this morning and bought into AV at what I thought was the bottom, silly me again, went off for a swim got out the baths turned my phone on and everything is down. RED RED RED Bring back the Icelandic banks, that what I say lol I had £150K spread across 3 of them in the good /bad old days and they were paying stupid interest, it was great until they all went bust and Mr. taxpayer picked up the bill. I am waffling on so will stop now I hope your tummy bug gets better PS almost forgot Qatar dumps a load of stock in the LSE for £260 million no doubt peaing them off so LSE takes it out on all us PI’s by dragging FTSE down even more. Meanwhile market makers get fatter, and drunker than ever but all end up with white implanted teeth because they can afford them lol Rant over ( for now)

No one is under cutting safestyle, not on the markets any way, as they are the only double galcing comany that is listed. They have no competion, they are the only ones. The only reason the SP is drifting is due to lack of volume. There is to be a trading update this month, which hopefully will be good and put a spark under the SP and drive it north The below pargraph taken from Investors Chronicle Boasting a 7.85 per cent market share of the replacement window market, and having undertaken installed 250,000 frames last year, the company is the largest retailer and make of uPVC windows and doors for the UK homeowner replacement market. It has also been growing strongly, having increased its market share for nine consecutive years. Moreover, with volumes up seven per cent last year and average unit prices 5.5 per cent ahead, this fuelled a 13 per cent increase in full-year revenues to £125m, or £2823 per order. Part of the reason for this outperformance of rivals is down to the fact that the company is the lowest cost national retailer and maker of uPVC windows and doors, so has a cost advantage over smaller firms. It also has the advantage of being able to target market its audience in a more focused and cost efficient way given its greater scale. Sensibly Safestyle has also been expanding into the affluent south and south east market which has been benefiting the most from the property boom and the ongoing UK economic recovery. The strategy is clearly working as margins remain robust and with volumes and prices on the rise, analysts expect another year of double digit profit growth. Post results, Toby Thorington at Edison upgraded his current year EPS estimates by 9 per cent and ratcheted up his 2015 numbers by a hefty 17 per cent. On this basis, expect current year EPS of 15.7p, rising to 17.4p in 2015. Furthermore, with the benefit of a cash-rich balance sheet and robust cash generation, the 5.5p a share final payout (ex-dividend of 18 June), is forecast to rise to 8.7p in 2014 and 9.7p in 2015
