cheers for the sentiment, Gerry, but don't worry about me. i've been on these boards since the 2008 financial crisis although i had an 8 year hiatus. i've also enjoyed the banter with many posters the likes of moniman. just not in a mood to play at the moment as i don't have much time to work towards an "agree to disagree" scenario or share my research on these boards these days. so i just buy in/out silently lol.

however, i do know a gem when i see one. good luck in whichever investments you choose

ValueAct have 20.9% of voting rights now. Only 9.1% to a mandatory takeover.

if we close at above 110p today, we will boom.

heading towards 300p

same thing happened to me for APF and along with some other shares...although sometimes you do get a chance to get back in. i did, with HZD. still got a chance APF could drop to about 180p.

correction: 2 days left to buy in for the dividend. i feel like liquidating everything else to plough in here haha.

new fellas on board: welcome.

it's been busy lately where i am but how is everyone? hope all is good. still holding out for a below 100p big buy(am already invested) but it looks like i will not be getting it. only a day left to buy in for the 3p dividend.

i'm actually hoping STOB will drift as low as mid-90s because i want to make a very large buy. hopefully in the next 2 days. if STOB closes below 100p today, very good chance to bag such a good buy at bargain prices some 25% lower than what the BoD paid!

well i didn't post here for 8 years haha. back in the day, IQE was my favourite share, was regularly trading it from 15p to 29p, buy/sell 10,000 to 30,000 shares every few weeks. then one day somebody told me it multibagged 10 times. i was like WHATTT!!! i have a penchant for picking good shares but never staying long enough to enjoy the full benefit.

can't believe how much this has drifted down. haven't bought in but the high yield and recent insider buying is something to take note of, again.

good consolidation occurring, trendline holding up well. i have been trading this for almost a year now. how time flies. bought in at 167p, sold close to 200p then few weeks back, bought in at 146p, sold half at 188p, now doubled up at 165p and 170.8p. this is so much fun! next stop: above 200p.

cheers mate, much appreciated. hence, i'll be buying on and off from now till 20th june!

do you have a trading strategy or self-imposed rules? ok, i'll share how i'm going to play Stobart.

1. i don't plonk everything into a single entry.
2. i stagger my buys at strategic points, after establishing a trading range or at least what i believe is the forming of a trading range.
3. i don't let daily loss/profit bother me because i have done enough research and i am prepared to milk all i can from every little movement on a share.

let's say for now, the trading range over the next 3 months is going to be 100p to 150p. then, let's say i have £6,000 that i don't need for the next 2 to 5 years(never trade with money you may need in the near to middle term). so if i was starting to trade on stobart and i am confident that the future for the company is going to be brighter than it currently is, my strategic points would be perhaps 100p, 110p, 120p, 130p, 140p and 150p. I'd place £1000 at every one of these points and whenever the share price hits the next point higher up, i'd sell that 1000 shares to lock in the profit. i'd do this for all batches of 1000 shares except for the 150p batch, just in case STOB breaks resistance and lifts off.

so between now and the next 3 months, i'm just going to enjoy any volatility that comes along, sip some summer wine and trade the ranges whenever time permits. my current entries on STOB are 106p, 119p, 125p, 130p, 143p, 150p, 155p with slightly different amounts at each entry point. no stress, and have a laugh at the ramper/de-rampers on these boards from time to time. :)

it looks like SLA bought up Bray and Aston's complete disposal.

on the contrary, i'd say luck is on our side if STOB drifts below 110p again(to buy more) because so many positive changes have occurred since a few months ago. i bought a bunch last friday at 106p and i have been buying staggered lots since the results. at the rate i'm going, i'll be buying more than the directors lol.

then again, i plonked sizeable income from another share into here because i like everything that's been communicated so far(so i have "less" to worry)...it seems they have all bases covered except for rail & civil, for which i hope to see better quality contracts won in the coming months.

1. de-risked balance sheet but railways remain a risk
2. high growth rate in the near term for aviation
3. biomass still growing
4. stronger, well experienced team
5. earning good yields(at current prices) while shareholders wait

don't look at the daily movement cos it can depressing but have a little more faith: i believe we're in the right share, from the way it currently looks. after all, the share price jumped almost 30% in 4 trading days(102p low last friday to 130p high yesterday)...bound to be some profit-taking. myself included haha

this was my biggest holding and i started buying from £1 onwards, averaging 136p when i finally stopped buying. waited a long time for treger's strategic investments to come through in numbers. when APF finally awoke, my trigger-happy self sold everything at 186p thinking it was overbought. ah well, a profit is a profit. i reckon it's now heading below 200p before the next bull run.

director buys, mostly bulky amounts. nice to see them joining the ride.

STOB should be reinstated at 150p in the near term, if you ask me. final ex-divi date is 20th june at 3p while they have committed to 6p till year ending 28 feb 2020. at current share price levels, a shareholder would be yielding a meaty 6.9% within the next 12-13 months.

to top it off, we should be expecting capital growth too, with Stobart headed by a newly hired turnaround specialist, with new airlines on board, excluding contributions from biomass and whatever plans to turn around railways.

even if the share price was 150p now, it would still be yielding a massive 6% within the next one year or so. interesting days ahead. GLA

Good luck to all those who are invested here, for the trading update tomorrow. This is now valued below previous bid price of 181p per share by Abcam.

Now we see why there was a string of director purchases recently - they knew the loan facility was approved(i.e. not funded through a rights issue).
