Siemens order http://www.expatica.com/de/news/country-news/Siemens-lands-17-bn-euro-train-contract-in-Germany_467853.html

sounds very xenophobic, would you be so distrustful of a UK company on an American exchange ?

and that top slice of mine at 270 not looking so impressive now, ah well the rest is upwards & onwards

anything in this fall, or just a cruel raid on stop losses ?

couple of massive buys late this morning, director buys ?

I think the point is being missed here, they've quite sensibly set aside an amount for vat liability of £2.1m and might be able to reclaim some of this back in a best case scenario if it is charged, and if it is charged there is no further hit to the accounts and a release to the bottom line if its improved. Its been provided for, and moving on at the end of the day we are a health company whose underlying profit has increased 20% this year with a year on year dividend increase, against a previous year that they envisaged would be tough to beat I sold half of my holdings at 93p yesterday (the same ones that I bought at 80p in the last fall), as I envisaged a bit of panic selling, I'll buy these back when the dust settles

well you stopped me buying albeit for the moment, on top of the quote that was about to charge me stamp duty (why would I be charged this ?), and the sell of 12,500 shares that they tried to disguise as a buy I thought the charts pointed to higher lows ? I could understand sentiment to the euro could offset what I see as value however goes ex-divi tomorrow too

talking of general short termers, a couple of obvious ones from yesterday who look like they have bought and sold for a loss within a day 11694 bought at 12.75 yesterday and sold for 11.75 this morning, nice £130 loss 6965 bought at 12.64 yesterday and sold for 11.75 later in the day at 12.00, nice £50 loss you couldn't script it

ah the voice of reason has turned up, undervalued but the market doesnt seem to recognise it (yet). pfs downing bought in recently and they have a habit of finding undervalued shares

well you're calling yourself the dopey one, and old fool calls him/her self an old fool, so take your pick !

happy with those results

reckon your t/o figure might be over egged - £7.2m at half year and expecting 1/3 of the £20m to be delivered in 2nd half, but they said in the recent trading update "The Group's profit before tax for the year ended 31 December 2014 is expected to be in line with market expectations, on slightly lower than anticipated revenues" so I'm supposing: revenue of £13m pbt £0.7m cash not got a scooby pipeline £20m+ pfs downing investing is a good sign, but then I'm a pessimist at heart

been here a while too, research also based after Giles lol, and more so after he said its one of the 3 he expected tp hold in a 10 year portfolio The vat issue is a nuisance, fully recoverable if they choose to of course, but whether they will or not and how much it is is a different matter, the market seems to be looking at the positives from the last results for the moment anyway. Nice to see they intend to contest vat if necessary, powers that be go after small fry trying to grow a business in an honest way but don't touch the fraudsters avoiding tax re hsbc, shame on them

thanks Mike, great news, no wonder PHS invested recently

pray tell.....

I think the recent food programmes highlighting the better meat quality you can expect from a butchers, as opposed to the crap you can expect in supermarkets, can only help give butchers more custom

where on earth are you seeing that info ? made profit of £24.5m here last year link please ?

seller ?

unless its to fund an acquisition - no, £10m of funds at Jul 14 and mainly cash generative, not chewing through it for sure
