Share price soaring. Market finally catching up...

Up she goes.

The firm is losing money, but it just picked up ~£10m for a share sale today, double its current marcap. Surprised this is not much higher.

They are losing ~£1m a year and have appalling control of their costs.

Can't believe folks are still pouring money into this black hole!

Somebody made a pretty big £8m buy in Samsung in London today. Something cookin'?

It's basically a £1m total package for the new CFO. Announced a few days after giving ~100 other staff the boot. Good timing...

Think the only way Debenhams will survive longterm is by merging with HoF, closing half their stores, and halving in size the remaining stores. The "department store" era is over. You can find much more choice online.

They've been spanking millions and millions on Board salaries, "advisors", and "investments", with zero cash going to shareholders. Lol.

British AIM investors are a funny old bunch... They queue up to pour money down empty holes of tiny oil, gas and mineral miners, ~95% of whom never hit the jackpot... But profitable companies, with tangible, high-tech products, like SOLI, get almost completely overlooked and ignored... If this were an American company on an American stockmarket, its valuation would probably be way up in the £5-15 range. They are doing some good stuff in trendy sectors like comms and power storage.

Good to see some cost controls, after their reckless Singapore "expansion" into Asia.

Great results yesterday. And Germany expansion is coming along nicely. Company is starting to surf the trendy outdoor-sports wave (fishing).

A ~£62m valuation for a relatively secretive Hong Kong / China business 6000 miles away on the other side of the planet that just has a few TV screens placed in cinema lobbies....

Sounds good.

Results pretty much in line with the guidance from a few weeks ago. Despite the silly CEO bonuses, this is a very well-run company with a gigantic, sustainable dividend. Probably not too much upside in the share price for now, as the overall UK house market is currently starting on a slight downcycle (in real terms).

Saga has got a great ~7% dividend right now. A good buy, if you believe the tumbling share price has bottomed at the 110-120p range. Or, some investors may be waiting for it to hit 50-100p, which it will do if the Dow has a downcycle next year.

Saga is one of those companies, like Centrica (British Gas), that cannot push business too aggressively, because it will just result in a wave of bad headlines from the Daily Mail about mugging off old people.

You remember that movie where the genie disappears in an instant puff of smoke ;-)

Notice the price-cap ruling has been delayed, by 2-4 weeks, until Sep 2018. That should help CNA grab a tiny bit more profit for the Q3 quarter.

Thought everyone said this one was about to rocket to 150p!

Interesting to see so little activity here.

The dividend for this year, and the next 2-3 years, is huge. One of the biggest ever in stockmarket history.

An article from the Share Centre today claims Sirius is allegedly the UK's 5th most popular share among private investors this year. Almost as popular as Vodafone, Lloyds and others.

Lol.

A ~£4m valuation today... for a company with about ~£0.5m of spare cash... A quarter of a million quid already spent on executive "expenses" before day 1 on the stockmarket...<br /><br />We all know where this one is headed ;-)
