Member Info for sundancer

really? i was trying to find info about how the other divisions are performing but i couldn't. could you please point me to where you found that info? from my research, TTG is still reliant on the automotive industry and they are just in a transitional phase to remove reliance. not there yet. their last RNS was slightly better performance for may and june and it gives the impression that they may be trading in profit at the moment BUT based on most current insight i am trying to dig out based on other reports, signals and feelers, doesn't look good still. malbrun, sure i do not believe TTG will crash and burn so as a long term investment, buy in anytime you want. but as for the outlook, there is still no certainty of a recovery in their sectors, i believe. if there was, we would have seen a host of director buys...which perhaps MAY come when this share dips below 30p? who knows. if the board buys, they must have better market info and are looking towards better revenue/brighter outlook. and if they do, they will wait till it drops to 26p or 29p(looks like previous support levels), if it ever gets there! =)

the results were positive compared to the last update. eaton didn't sound downbeat either. i think most investors were expecting a profit in UK and the ones that sold were probably daytraders not willing to wait for the disposal, or those that paid above 30p...

don't fret mate - buying in anticipation of good results is risky(as we won't know for sure if positive or negative) but buying in anticipation of asset disposal is better! so i was hoping the share price would drop more. will more people panic and sell please! however, i believe UNIQ's last statement was that they are looking to dispose or merge. now that we know the northern european assets performed better than expected, it looks to be pointing more towards a disposal as there could be more interested bidders. so UNIQ's entire business will be wholly UK focused and if UK recovers faster than europe, without excessive loss making european baggage, UNIQ looks set for a recovery by the end of the year. revenue will be cut by 2 thirds but that's ok because there is a higher chance of delivering EBITDA, without the trouble of consolidating operations across the continent. just my thoughts...

i actually replied your email but somehow or rather, didn't get sent by yahoo(server hacked?). well, UNIQ didn't do too bad, if you ask me. the strategy transition was going to take time so i actually figured it would be either a narrowed loss or a small profit. but what it looks to me is that eaton's strategy is working. those who couldn't wait have sold and it may or may not drop a little more the next few days but that is when you can buy in for the northern europe asset disposal(hopefully, instead of a merger) possible jump. did u buy into CHLD? it's gone up today.

u posted 2 mins before me! didn't see your post as i was typing mine. i do most of my research at night, hence my late posts. anyway, if u are interested...look into CHLD. a bit of an expensive share, but perhaps worth jumping in now to hold for an upward movement. it's safe in my opinion and they've just recently had an update with no negative surprises.

fortunately for me, i bought in a day before the director. looks like i wasn't the only one watching... =)

don't normally do predictions but perhaps 80p by next spring/summer. so the day of reckoning is arriving tomorrow. hope all the effort in research was worth it. there are high hopes on this one because a lot of analysis has been done and shared. if the results are any different(i.e. negative surprises), it will tank from which it will be a good time to buy on the rebound! either way, think i may buy more tomorrow if the RNS doesn't appear on my way to work. LTInvestor, still envy you. =)

that besides slightly better news from BMW, it is still all round bad news for the automotive industry for which TTG is still heavily reliant(i.e. INCH's recent update). But still, the share price has been rising due to motley fool's article, not any real concrete good news. this will retrace again, not good to buy in now because it's too expensive, imo.

the gradual rise on UNIQ was caused by the NFDS update and about 3 or 4 other positive independent reports on food sales(M&S, retail, TNS, etc.). investors are more convinced that UNIQ's earnings report could be good. but do watch out just in case :- 1. impairment charges more than earnings 2. revenue actually turning out for the worse 3. increased pension deficit geoff eaton, some enlightenment needed? =)

scroll back about 13 pages regarding possible competitors. besides monopoly, i think it is also a headstart for BGBL.

do well in the trading update :- http://www.sandwichesonline.org.uk/news_and_features/2009/sandwiches_showing_green_shoots_recovery.shtml sandwich sales holding up well

the SP now worth less than cash in bank!!!

i believe it is because the market is now not looking for company measures to counter recession or macroeconomic indicators/commentaries. what they now need to see is concrete proof like company results. if we get 2 or 3 quarters of positive company results, perhaps then the market will finally believe we are truly on course to recovery. until then, if a share can remain undervalued and not have it's potential/premium priced into it, for a few months more. EML surely is undervalued and it definitely has potential but nobody sees any value in shares in the midst of a recession, i suppose. what do you think?

13:26 - Energy giants E.ON and Gas De France (GDF) Suez have been fined by the European Commission over anti-competition practices. German-owned E.ON and French firm GDF Suez were fined EUR553 million (£477 million) each after the firms agreed in 1975 not to compete with each other when they began importing gas from Russia. The Commission said: "They maintained the market-sharing agreement after European gas markets were liberalised, and only abandoned it definitely in 2005." It added that it had no choice but to "impose high fines". Source : http://www.iii.co.uk/articles/articledisplay.jsp?section=MarketReports&article_id=10033977

behaving oddly. there was all those big buys yesterday and then suddenly all these big sells today.

agreed - there should be no selling on the back of updated news as the share could be going for a re-rating.

the reality of the RNS is starting to unfold as nothing negative and investors are buying in. people are too jittery these days. anyway, have been watching this thread all morning and i feel silly being here mainly for the metals they mine, not the uranium holdings...lol. =) although that's a plus factor of course. by the way, PVCS is down a lot today...can't help feeling suspicious...
