Share options Now that the Directors and all interested staff have sorted out their share options, I wonder if we will now be on a good upward trend, Just an instinct ???
FAO 23Jez Jez - You asked about 'Burr' where your gain is impressive. You say you do not fully comprehend the activities of the Company. My advise onthis would be to substantially cash in your gains as it is generally unwiseto be invested in a Company whose practises you do not understand and/or feel uncomfortable with. But do not take my word for it, ask wider advice.Cheers,ws
Re: Off Topic Jez - I know nothing about 'Burr', so I am not the person for advice.As you appear interested in 'oilies', you may well like the look ofAMER's turnaround.Cheers,ws

Re: Trading update Hi WSYou are a different person when not winding up IQE posters. I am glad I supported your stance there. Talk about lack of informed critical thinking. I still have a very small stake, which I will add to if their financial performance improves.I have had AMS for several years and traded it a couple of times but am very content to weather occasional retraces. My current best ever is Burr I have never taken any profit , now over 300% profit it is the first time in my life I have not sold 50% and let my profits run. My current problem with them is I cannot precisely conceptualise the business they are in since they expanded and changed their structure, in spite of having an MBA and 2 Post Graduate Diplomas in Law. I hope this is not the start of the dreaded D disease.Any help you ban give me to understand Burr will be appreciatedMy real long term share is BP . My first BP shares were given to me 50 years ago and I built up my stake by buying during the Israel/ Palastine wars and through DRIP I have never take any dividend but sold on occasion when I needed capital. Their upstream spin off seams to be doing very well am tempted to buy. Best wishes 23Jez

About turn ? BB you are usually very good with AMS's diagnosis.Hoping you are right again and looking forward to your last prediction of £4 by the autumn. Fingers crossed.
About turn? Those here who keep an eye on the AMS chart will have spotted that the SP has just performed its once in a blue moon (well, about once very 18 moths, roughly put) excursion below the 200 day moving average. The SP never stays there long--usually two to three days (but three week last time when Trump was vocal about clipping the wings of big pharma). Looking at past performance, we see that, after a brief sojourn in the netherlands, the SP does a quick turn about and gets itself back up above the 200 day line, (which has just happened,) thereafter continuing to travel steadily north. While the past is not always an infallible indicator of the future, in the game of probabilities this particular pattern has an uncannily reliable track record. So, in short, any downside from here appears limited, with support around the 300p-305p very strong indeed and with every chance now of a rebuild from this point, as people realise that a return to 350p would represent near enough an attractive 15% gain. BB20.
Off topic Agree with you on AMS and one following in its footsteps is Sirius Minerals SXX
Off Topic I cannot remembers whether it was here or at APH that Imade mention of INSE as possibly being a good share to have in one's portfolio for a long term hold. I remain of that opinion, and would like to point out that right now the shares look extra cheap after an IMHO unwarranted retrace. Meantime AMS is still my number 1 favourite longhold.Cheers,WS
Future Prospects The results are solid. At least in line with the history of the past 5 years - increasing sales, increasing profit. The health care/medical industry is one for the future. No wonder the valuation is high - the future looks bright.The only thing that will stop AMS is a takeover, so it is a win-win for us shareholders.This is one to hold.
Prelims Sparkling results, as we have come to expect. P?E ratio is where it is (and perhaps to be expected) because of the continued year on year growth. You won't get shares in a quality company like this without paying the right price. And what a company! With luck, the developmental pipeline will keep the trends running strongly for some years yet. I shall be surprised if we don't see an SP of £4.00+ by the autumn. And LTHs who bought in single digits will be delighted to see the dividend now hoisted above a penny. BB20
Re: PEG Factor It simply means the share price is growing at a much greater rate than company earnings. The implication is that this is overpriced. With a PER of 33 that may well be the case here.
