Member Info for selftoblame

RDS off you go Tarzan, and while you are there, sort out the wembley fiasco, they've already let the hammers fans down, who this season have been single "We're on our way to Wem.... er.... somewhere......"

chp to johnny. My advice is as follows. Sit back and watch the posts. This is a great site as part of your research. Read other bulletin board sites as well. On all bulletin boards, look for the 'experts'. They shine through. Others like myself offer only broad opinions, but I love reading the analysis of those with vast experience. My advice, take your time, and don't trade unless you have exhausted all avenues of research. That can be very time consuming. Be prepared to get it wrong, and don't blame anybody but yourself when it does go wrong. Last advice is... I saw a post over the weekend which summed it up....... be an investor not a trader. Leave trading to the experts. Good luck and enjoy doing your research.

chp to sucker, thanks for your advice, most helpful. I've got to get on, would love to say more but don't have the time for a long post.

Well done Cynic, you seem to have had quite a positive influence on the market today.

tla it is a good way to out-geek the geeks especially when you work in IT

TLA is the most commonly used topic of conversation. Three Letter Acronym.

sex Cynic brilliant 07:22 post. But seriously now, have you ever heard of TLA?

has he left aleady?

GGEA Isn't google great. Try this search. Type in "French military victories" Don't forget the double quotes. Then instead of clicking search, click that button "I'm feeling lucky" Isn't google great?

cost the increase in sp is quite justified, but there's something about Friday's rise which makes me think something is happening.....

rds 3 consecutive years hammers raised the cup at wembley 64 65 66 (last one is my little joke)

rds glory days are returning. Do you remember when the Hammers raised a cup on three consecutive years at Wembley. I do.

COST whilst the pension deficit stands at 70 mill, Costain have a sensible plan to pay dividends matched pound for pound by contributions to pension commitments. On the very positive, order book increases to 1.9bill despite Cost's continued commitment to reduce the number of sectors in which they operate to maximize profit. Atogether a nice place for your cash.

COST silly silly silly These fantastic results, including 168% increase in eps and a statement of double digit growth over the coming 3 years at least, cash at 75 mill, AND YET the pe is still below 8.

CPNR Thanks for bringing this to attention. 6.5m mcap. Steady income stream now 'flowing'. I also like the reserved language of their announcements. I might give this one a go.

let him have his fun. his right hand is bound to tire.

New movies added, this one is more interesting than even DGM

VEC Whats afoot??

VEC market cap £100m. Genuinely achievable potential for initial licence payments from Novartis £100m with additional royalties on product NVA237 alone. This is a real product with a real market. Other products are as significant. Pity the interim results (November 2005) did not give more information about the terms of the agreement with Novartis. Eg what are the milestones to be reached. Dates would have been nice. If NVA237 alone is as good as it seems, then it would make much more sense for Novartis to bid for VEC. Let's face it at the market cap, it's about what they are willing to pay anyway. Speaking from experience of the principles of NVA237, I remember when a tablet drug called ephidrine had the same effect, before it was deemed to be on the risky side. Pity for asthma sufferers who got relief. Drugs administered by inhaler are much much more effective using only a small amount of the drug and may offer similar or better results. At this market cap, with these products, I cannot see VEC being left alone for long. This is certainly in Pfizer territory, for one.
