Director buy Interesting!!

well well well....did mention over weekend things looking bleak, and going concern was, to say the least, concerning! would probably buy back only when oil woes ease, regardless of where share price settles.

new year high!

Interesting rise here recently Recd by ic has helped and recently bottomed out too I think Worth a look imho

Just checked in to see and unfortunate situation here- hit hard by oil/gas situation Going concern statement in results was very worrying too and so best to be patient imho Will be interesting to see where it settles as is a very good company

Jmb here?! Maybe worth a look at the levels

High for the year achieved today Looking good jolly!!!

"With many stocks fully-priced after a six-year bull run, new ideas can require more by way of anticipation – which is admittedly a speculative approach, but if economic conditions stay fairly robust then some such firms will evolve. AIM-listed Porta Communications (PTCM) is a good example. On the stockmarket fringe, its financial record (see table) is immature, and not even the company's broker – Sanlam Securities – is anticipating profitability to date. Yet the directors keep buying significant amounts of shares, implying they are positive about prospects. From Porta's news feed, a remarkable nine of 21 announcements this year involve the directors buying – with some trades around 9p a share, higher than the current spread of 7.75/8.0p. Included is Bob Morton, non-executive chairman who now owns nearly 15.5% and has fans and critics as a veteran smaller companies promoter. Also, the chief executive has just bought £50,000 worth of shares for his SIPP, and the finance director £45,010 worth, both at 7p, which bodes well. Looking more closely at the company, it achieved strong organic growth in the second half of 2014 – gross profit (fee income) rose 75% to £19.4 million for the year on a continuing operations basis. When reporting prelims last May, management indicated another strong year with all its 2014 acquisitions doing well, and exceptional costs likely lower this year"

JUST KEEPS GOING!!!!!!!!

Acquisition of Kuhlmann extends TR’s European presence into the German market London: Thursday, 1 October 2015: International industrial fastenings group, Trifast is pleased to announce that it is extending its European presence through the acquisition of industrial distributor Kuhlmann Befestigungselemente GmbH & Co. KG Germany (“Kuhlmann”). Under the terms of the acquisition, Trifast has acquired Kuhlmann for a total consideration of €8.50 million (£6.16m). The initial amount of €6.76 million (£4.90m) was paid on completion in cash and €0.04 million (£0.03m) was satisfied by the allotment of 29,350 ordinary shares in the Company. Consideration of €1.70 million (£1.23m) will be deferred for 12 months and is to serve as a retention against which any potential warranty and indemnity claims will be offset. The cash consideration will be met from the Company’s existing bank facilities. Trifast will be investing into Kuhlmann to further develop the opportunities in the German market and expects the acquisition of Kuhlmann to be earnings enhancing in the first full year of ownership.

"Newmark Security posted a record pre-tax profit in FY15. This benefited from orders from the Post Office and acceleration of a refurbishment programme for another long-term customer, which will not be repeated in FY16. Management has instigated a programme of activities based on geographic expansion, product development and acquisition, which is designed to drive profits growth from FY17 onwards. Our analysis of fair value at £20m (4.3p) assumes that these activities will be able to return the group to FY15 profit levels by FY17. Newmark Security provides electronic and physical security systems that focus on the safety and security of a company's personnel and its assets."

when are results due?

Once again a great call Have this recovery play too so looking forward to results

Agreed regarding the thought on mtv As for the Ali baba thought, it's worse when a company stops paying dividends, a very bad sign as can be seen here. And this is certainly fishy... Has naibu written all over it. Would be very wary

Or maybe not! Wait is on! The current order book is below our expectations and reflects the lower level of demand that has become evident during July and August. This trend was confirmed at the major international trade fairs attended recently, where it was clear that activity levels in the leather industry are currently depressed and likely to remain so in the medium term. Looking further forward, a number of new opportunities are starting to appear and these could begin to have an impact in the second half of 2016.

Based on what?! Always beware of stocks with a pe less than 2!! This has naibu written all over it I'm afraid!

Lol!!! What a joke of a comment!!!! How about paying a dividend for the rest of the private shareholders who have bough shares here?!

wowsers...really stunning results! cash increaing nicely!

the bear has begun the next bull run!
