evening! issued RNS is normally delayed from the actual order execution. that is why in the past few weeks/days we keep seeing the share price hitting 10.5p, then dropping back to 9.2p-9.5p. i reckon steel has actually run out and only growth left in this share! which means no more cheap UNIQ shares... =( but good news to all in here! including me. gonna have a celebratory meal from M&S tonight!!!

finally managed to get the hell out of PRL and will continue to put my money here. the resilience of this share despite the last few days of bad news just goes to show the investors in here are long termers. i like. =)

apologies, should've been clearer - i meant the ftse or economy as a whole, not UNIQ. for UNIQ, the run has just started and we should hang on for the ride, of course. =) after the bank results announcement, there doesn't seem to be anything that's potentially scary in the horizon. (enlighten me if i'm missing something). toxic debt securities have been insured...so cashflow could be an issue but with further quantitative easing...should be ok. investors will look to the actual loss figures to try forecast how well the economy is holding up. so there could be stagnation or a small retrace in the economy, but not see the levels as low as march again.

i think relief would probably be a better word, yes. =) but the market is already anticipating that things will only improve...albeit slowly. at least the stress tests will be conducted preriodically. i don't see rapid growth but i do see a retrace sometime. just got to hang in there and pray...

the bank news did affect the share price after all...and the support level is at 19p?

but looks like the US market has the same opinion as me(so far). the stress test looks like a definite sign of major improvement because it seems to have started climbing higher :- http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/bank-stocks-climb-following-stress-test/story.aspx?guid=%7B756C1450%2DE880%2D4C86%2D9AFB%2D468932E3C8F1%7D&dist=TNMostRead right after the stress test result announcements, the affected banks announced measures to raise cash. this must have been planned...

just read some bad news appearing from the US regarding banks needing to shore up their capital strength after the stress tests, but they are going to do this without government help. perhaps this might spook the daytraders and they bail. not sure how the market will react although i see this as a very big improvement compared to Q408 when it felt like the end of the world. hmmm...uh hmmm.... don't forget RBS trading update is due too. i reckon the market will be mixed.

better not sleep too late if u intend to buy as early as possible!

that was a very good and informative post - no, it's not ramping when u post facts. it's called "sharing" and "teamwork". one thing u missed though...debt facility with lloyds has been renegotiated and a new facility was announced 9th january 2009 in their trading update :- http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail/?display=news&code=cotn:UNIQ.L&action=article&articleid=7106743 revolving credit facility has been increased from £40m to £60m and it now matures 31/12/2010, not march 2010..

saw your question earlier and asked around but no one i asked had a clue. could be cash set aside for financial obligations but it is not the same as retained earnings.

thought u were still in here. this is a hidden gem, caught some interest lately but no one was really convinced... gameon, thanks for the research. yes, your news service sure asserted confidence. =)

another Steel Partners sell off. saw it hit 10.5p this morning, then drop back down to 9.3p and was going to top up. just like how i've wanted to, the last 2 weeks! i wonder why didn't it happen again this time? Steel Partners still have 7m+ shares. recent RNS, in case you guys didn't catch it :- http://production.investis.com/uniq/rns/?id=1241514042nRnsE6713R

any idea why you chose this out of the rest? been looking to invest more in the energy crisis and have been watching CWP(but missed the bottom now), bought some EML and this looks justifiable but haven't done any analysis. there seems to be some competition out there...EAM, BRU among others... any advice/idea on what the government strategy might be? local councils choose their own supplier or one supplier for all?

and if anybody gets too bored and wants to sell their holding, they can sell it to me....lol....

only gets boring if that person is looking for quick cash!!! =)

i have had a small holding in QED for quite a long time - should have filled my boots when they dropped to 8p some time ago. the next day, they announced a covenant renegotiation and it rocketed up to the current price. this share is a keeper. QED own large swathes of land in wembley and they are London's regeneration experts.

yeah, i know what you mean about gambler(not investors) with no clue. i just encountered one such unwanted character on another board - MWA i've seen your posts before - u're alright. =)

lo and behold...the truth is out!!! =) that was quite nasty but it opens our eyes to the characters on this website. you're lucky - i'm quite forgiving....and thanks for your honesty. tbh, i was too lazy to continue answering your questions. Dinky is right - the annual report is very detailed and comprehensive, a world of difference compared to a report from say...cattles. tsk tsk.. there won't be much difference to the share price as long as Steel keeps dumping...and they will run out. i wish they would dump it all at once, then we could all grab them at really cheap prices and i can top up.

the retrace could come around the 14th of May, when the AGM is held. i don't expect Q109 or 2008 results to be remarkably astounding. http://www.cooksongroup.co.uk/cookson/pages/investors/calendar this is on my watch list. =)

it's ok - always good to have some negativity(as long as it's got a solid backing) to maintain balance in the "Farce"...err, i mean "Force"....lol...
