Six Flags' CEO has just bought $3m worth of shares in his company, and is rather bullish: Https://finance.yahoo.com/news/six-flags-ceo-bought-3-222234719.html Extract: "Reid-Anderson told Cramer he looked at his return as "a huge positive," listing the many growth drivers the theme park giant could benefit from in the coming years. "There are many reasons why this is a good company, and the most important is, long term, we see huge opportunities," he said. "This is a great industry. In fact, it's a recurring revenue industry." "Six Flags' recently opened park in Mexico adds to the company's budding international portfolio, which already includes locations in Canada, China and the United Arab Emirates. Reid-Anderson said that the Mexico location, which almost instantly boosted season pass sales by 40 percent, is only the beginning of Six Flags' upward trajectory."

and still on a single-figure P/E.

after today's news.

following Peel Hunt's initiation today.

Turning upwards now - perhaps our seller is finished? A 6k buy at 81.5p has caused an early move up.

Moving up nicely again already today - looking for new recent highs now.

Another £90m is incoming from forward sales and developments: Https://www.investegate.co.uk/watkin-jones-plc--wjg-/rns/forward-sale---development-agreement/201708300700032295P/ I love this paragraph: "Both developments are due for completion for the summer of 2019 and, following these agreements, Watkin Jones have now forward sold 1,981 of the 3,545 beds planned to be delivered ahead of the 2019/2020 academic year. All schemes to be delivered during FY17 and FY18 and ahead of the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 academic years have been forward sold."

Excellent news - Peel Hunt have today initiated coverage with a Buy and a 25p target: Http://investing.thisismoney.co.uk/broker-views/

RNS - good to see the Chairman buying £50,000 of shares at 53.7p. A decent vote of confidence indeed: Https://www.investegate.co.uk/communisis-plc--cms-/rns/director-pdmr-shareholding/201708291512212138P/

Nice £60,000 buy at 238p first thing today which moved the price up.

The gold price has rocketed above $1320 today. And this morning's results look pretty impressive with: - a $2m PBT against a mere £13m m/cap - a $3m cash pile even before the recent additional fundraising - consistent production and operating cost outlook from SGW - Anza drilling results to look forward to - plus potential news re exploration in Anillo and in Uruguay

Great to see the £1.5m contract award, indicating that the phase one contract went well. Another feather in MOGP's cap.

I bought a few of these and recently transferred them into my ISA, so it's great to see them now starting to rise. Hopefully back to 180p in reasonably quick time. Good luck all.

Good to see SOM recommended so highly by Jupiter's fund manager as follows: Http://www.whatinvestment.co.uk/fund-manager-focus-james-zimmerman-2553967/ "Fund manager focus: James Zimmerman 25 Aug 2017 Jupiter smaller companies fund manager James Zimmerman explains how investments in enterprises that generate non-sterling revenues and profits have boosted his fund" "The second stock Zimmerman mentioned is Somero Enterprises. He remarked, ‘Somero Enterprises, which is up 128 per cent in the past 12 months, is a US-focused manufacturer of concrete-levelling machinery and was also among the strongest-performing positions over the past two years. ‘Somero has a 99 per cent market share globally in the leading concrete-laying technology, and after recently meeting with the company in Florida, I was impressed by the strength of its ongoing new product development, as well as the strength and longevity of its customer relationships with contractors that buy its equipment both in the US and the rest of the world.’" Wilawiz, you need to get your ISA provider to send you a W8-BEN form to complete and pass to the relevant tax authorities in the USA. They should then be able to reclaim 15% of the 30% withholding tax you've suffered pretty quickly. I've been doing this for a number of years without a problem. It's THEIR responsibility to sort it out once you tell them this! The recent share price stagnation is imo simply the summer lull, plus I know that Barclays Stockbrokers in moving to a new trading platform this week have told all their clients that the new platform cannot hold SOM as a US-domiciled stock. I'll bet some have decided to sell rather than go through the rigmarole of transferring the stock to another provider, That should be finished now.

in yesterday's Times. Most of it's about his career in general, but there's a couple of interesting comments relating specifically to FDEV: Https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/video-games-boss-hopes-to-push-the-frontiers-with-one-monster-of-a-deal-dzq5d9cf9 "Since listing on Aim in 2013, it has moved to a more lucrative self-publishing model bypassing third parties to get to the front of the supply chain, where it can keep about 70 per cent of sales revenues. Today, with a rock solid reputation for quality, Frontier is benefiting from the shift from boxed copies of games to cloud-based distribution. This removes the risks and costs of holding physical inventory and enables publishers to sell additional paid-for features over time, giving products a longer shelf life. “With an online game it’s much more software as a service. You can make it better over time,” Mr Braben says. With two further games in development, analysts at Liberum expect Frontier, which has trebled revenue in the past four years, to double its sales from an estimated £30 million next year to £61 million in 2019. Much of this growth will come from China. Frontier has secured a £17.7 million investment from Tencent, the Chinese internet group, to help it to expand and develop games that cross cultural boundaries." "He foresees a future in which gaming continues to take audience share, screen time and revenue from other forms of media. partly because older people are being attracted to gaming. With revenues estimated at $109 billion for 2017, computer games have overtaken film and television ($105 billion) to make up the single biggest component of the $300 billion-a-year entertainment industry. At the same time, non-interactive forms of media such as film and television could increasingly adopt interactive features from games. Even at the most basic level, the popularity of shows such as the Great British Bake Off is testament to the demand for interaction in TV. “The people who know how to do interaction best are in the games industry. The scope for interesting tie-ups, with the BBC, television and film production companies, will get stronger,” he says."

Http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/investing/article-4825968/MIDAS-UPDATE-Student-digs-tip-turns-rental-flats.html "MIDAS UPDATE: Student digs tip turns to rental flats as shares soar Watkin Jones began as a joinery business in 1791. Still run by a descendant of the original family, it is now involved in two very modern aspects of construction – purpose-built accommodation for students and blocks of flats built for rent. The firm floated in March 2016 at 100p and Midas tipped the shares two months later at 109p. They have since soared 82 per cent to 198p, but should continue to rise long-term. Chief executive Mark Watkin Jones has delivered on his promises to date and plans to double the firm’s size over five to seven years. The company moved into student accommodation in 1999 and is now a recognised specialist. The sites are forward sold to institutional investors and the firm often manages the units – so it does not have to tie up cash for years while it builds the units and it gets an income after. About ten sites are finished each year, providing up to 4,000 beds. A further 19 sites are planned for 2018 and 2019. The business is robust and demand is strong. Now the firm is keen to replicate this success in the purpose-built rental sector. A first site in Leeds is already open and prospects are bright. Midas verdict: Watkin Jones has made big progress since floating and growth should pick up pace. The firm offers generous dividends, with 6.6p expected this year, rising to 7.3p in 2018. Good value for both existing and new investors."
