Nice to hear from you, I'm in for the long haul too, a lot of ground to make up, still it was encouraging to see that £425K buy last week Here's looking to good times ahead

Thanks, nice to see someone else here

Invensys Commissions ERTMS solution on Turkish High Speed Line No idea, all I see is good things coming from Invensys, maybe someone out there knows something and can enlighten us. A bit more news... http://www.invensys.com/en/news/ir/article/919/invensys-commissions-ertms-solution-on-turkish-high-speed-line.aspx 30 August 2011 On August 23, the Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, inaugurated the new high speed line between Ankara and Konya, which is equipped with Invensys Rail’s FUTUR 1300 ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) Level 1 and associated signalling systems..................................

Good to see this bouncing back up by decent amounts again.

This seems to be dropping like a stone, am i missing something? I thought things were looking good for them all things considered.

Invensys on track Thu, 28th Jul 2011 08:21 The technology company Invensys has made a solid start to its financial year, performing in line with expectations, leaving it on track to improve on last year's performance, subject to currencies behaving themselves. In its Controls division, the company experienced lower than expected demand in its core appliance markets in Europe and North America during the April-June quarter, but remains confident that performance will recover in the second half of the financial year. Order intake in the Operations Management division was ahead in each major region once last year's China nuclear order is taken out of the equation. Revenue growth was driven in particular by the further ramp-up of work on recently won large greenfield contracts. As expected this change in sales mix has tempered improvements in operating margins. Invensys Rail produced a satisfactory performance in the first quarter of the company's fiscal year with the conversion of its large order book in new markets more than offsetting a slow-down in revenue from its traditional markets. At 30 June 2011, the group had net cash totalling £253m and said that the £95m reduction in the quarter was due mainly to an expected working capital outflow related to large projects in Invensys Operations Management and Invensys Rail, deficit reduction payments into the US and UK pension schemes and a number of other non-operating outflows, including the acquisition of the minority interest in a Chinese subsidiary, Shanghai Foxboro Company Limited.

Invensys Rail Named Supplier of the Year by Network Rail 15 July 2011 Invensys Rail collected two major industry awards at Network Rail’s annual Partnership Awards ceremony which were held at London’s Natural History Museum on 13 July 2011, winning the ‘Best Large Project’ award and the highly prestigious ‘Supplier of the Year’ award http://www.invensys.com/en/news/ir/article/916/invensys-rail-named-supplier-of-the-year-by-network-rail.aspx

BRIEF-Lighthouse wins advice contract for union LONDON, April 4 (Reuters) - Lighthouse Group PLC: * Lighthouse wins three year contract with prospect ((London

The way I look at it is that if you pump in £57K and the other big buys then you want a return & are expecting this to go up further (unless you want to make a loss) I still have ground to make up from the old days of Corporate Services, so I am sticking around but am pleased with the way things are going lately. I do find it encouraging when i see decent buys going through which I presume aren't PI's. So long as we have nice gradual increases that will suit me fine.
