I agree with the possibility that £3.00 is achievable;and this was noted few days prior to RNS.My figures are conservative.Also feel that with the attraction this RNS will draw from the us market gains in the sp short term will give Mec a hefty weighting.

Telling me. :) im expecting a considerable rise in sp as this now looks a safe and rewarding stock for the short and long invester.Their new business model has ,i feel set a president.Figures are great and above expectations.so i feel on open we will see a high of well over £2.60.It will settle at £246.75 if my charting is correct.Goodluck Red.(as always DYOR)

Cont................still i stand by what i say and feel this will fly on results.

totally agree it will retrace after results.long,this will be a good stock for ones portfolio.i feel strongly that we should have settled at 2.25 today then peaked at 270-3.00 on results.Alas you are right"This is MEC. Tomorrow will give early indications as to where we will be for results.Goodluck Red

Very dissapointed with the manipulation of the sp.Tomorrow will show how the sp will react.i was hoping for a steady built to the results on wed am but i feel this will just sit low and gain on the news to new highs.good highs.This cant be held back on the results.Good thing is when it break its level it will fly.Nice to see it is going to finish above the 202 resistance level .Also as the profit takers have now traded out ,they will return before the results only added to the vol.Goodluck Red
