Go for it Dibs! I think you'd be good at it!
There goes another integration. This in time Recruitment which makes a lot of sensitives the amount of interviewing that goes on there.
I think it's fair to say we have broken through our resistance at 440. Onwards and upwards hopefully although it might be in keeping to resistance turn to support.
Allo Allo.... What's going on 'ere then(+9%)?
This wonderful share has basically trebled in the last year. We now have a little resistance at 450 but it can't be long before we challenge it again and move out towards 500. The beauty here is the sheer scale of the market! This is a long term hold for me.

Well... You make your own luck to a large extent. Been thinking about CGT though and here's the thing ... Say you sell a share for a pound, 50p of which is gain; and you pay tax at whatever rate, say 30%. Then 15p of your gain will go to taxman and you have effectively taken out 85p. Now say you buy in again at 80% of sale price- great you buy it back at 80p. On the face of it your manoeuvring has gained a 5p out of 80p advantage. However, the story doesn't end there. Let's now say you are able to sell again at say 1.50. That nets a capital gain of 70p. However, if you had held in the first instance your additional capital gain would only have been 50p ie you will pay CGT on an additional 20p which would be ... er... About 7p, thus negating the original 5p advantage. I know it's not quite as straightforward and there are means of minimising CGT, but for all the hassle involved I think I would be generally be taking profits for reasons of preservation of capita rather than trading.
Respect
Indeed Dibs. The mass directors buys are a massive vote of confidence.
EBITDA basically doubled. From same statement last year: "reported EBITDA should not be less than $26.0 million" This yr statement = 51.5 mill

Hi Toft. Well done to you. And we've just passed the 500 mark which is worth a toast!
Thanks Tyrell
I'm interested to know how companies are selected. I can go and find out but a brief comment from you might address my interest.
I've got about 10% in here which is enough for me I think. There is also a risk in here in terms of US equity valuations in general and the extent to which it can ride out a bear market. I'm here because I think it will do better than most sectors and has a story line that should insulate it somewhat. Also when treatments are available I reckon insurance companies will pay for them. I'm looking longer term eg 5 to 10 years anyway. Time will tell how long the 2 yr doubling can continue.
Interesting. There are 15 companies of smaller market in the FTSE250. I suppose inclusion will have a positive effect in as much as it will be bought for trackers....
I know that last statement appears to be big ramp but such development would only be a continuation of the current chart which more than doubled between jan 2012 and dec 2013 (it actually doubled earlier but went sideways for about 6 months). The logic below simply offers a reasonable scenario on how things might proceed. This could yet continue to double every 2 years.
