On a day when the FTSE 100 has slid more than 100 points, AIM-listed Petards Group (LSE:PEG) share price has soared by over 110%, rising 12.75 pence to 24.25, and there is no guessing or speculation as to why.  Petards announce today that they have been awarded a £7 million contract by the Ministry of Defense. […]

UK grocers Sainsbury (LSE:SBRY) and Tesco (LSE:TSCO) published their interim results this morning.  The overall news for Sainsbury was not so bad; for Tesco, not so much.  Nonetheless, the share price of both grocery chains placed a burden on the FTSE from which has spent the day trying to recover. Follow a good report, Sainsbury […]

International Personal Finance plc (LSE:IPF), may not make a lot of headlines, so that may “leed” some snootier investors to ignore the company based in Leeds.  Interestingly enough, IPF is one of the “leeders” on the London Stock Exchange today.  Its share price is the ninth “leeding” gainer by percentage and the seventh “leeding” by […]

A long time ago, in a land far away (the U.S.), I learned that a company’s worth is not strictly quantitative.  Sometimes it is about “The Story.”  You see, vision is not something that can be quantified.  The numbers only tell you where you are on the road to reaching your vision.  Without a vision, […]

That’s a very good question.  What do a retail candy store chain and an IPTV company have in common?  At first glance, it would appear that the answer is “nothing”.  May I suggest that on this date, 15 July 2013, they both prove that what they teach in art appreciation courses is true.  That is, […]

You’ve got to like Active Risk (LSE:ARI) as an investment.  People liked it so much today that its share price grew by more than 50% on trading of only 1.076% of its outstanding shares following the announcement of its impending acquisition by Sword Aquila Ltd.  By early afternoon the share price had risen 11.5 pence […]

It’s a game of good news / bad news for Carpetright (LSE:CPR) shareholders this morning.  But investors have responded positively today, pushing the share price up 13.0 pence (2.15% ) to 618.50 upon release of the company’s full-year results ending 27 April. Reading the report, one senses that Neil Page, Finance Director, and Darren Shapland, […]

I can’t help but bring up the subject of FastJet (LSE:FJET) again.  As I have said before, it may not have the highest share price out there – not by a long shot – but this may be the best time to buy in.  Today, for the second time in a week, FastJet was the […]

A strange thing happened on the way to the London Stock Exchange this morning.  Beverage baron A.G. Barr (LSE:BAG) announced that the UK Competition Commission had completed its review of Barr’s proposed merger with its rival Britvic (LSE:BVIC).  The commission has made a provisional decision that the merger would not have any significant effect that […]

Once upon a time AIM listed CPP (LSE:CPP) was worth almost £500 million. And then the merde hit the fan. I advised shorting it at 26.75p last autumn and was again saying it was a sell at 4.625p a week ago. The shares are now 3.92p and this one will be resolved within two weeks […]
