Re: NEW ARTICLE: Stockwatch: Hot share for a... Thanks to Edmond for a valiant attempt at analysing this company but anyone reading the article can see that there are plenty of uncertainties which tend to prevent accurate assessment of short term performance. The main attractions of the company are the conservative way it is run and the high return on capital employed which has been independently calculated as ranging from the upper twenties to low thirties over the past five years. I must admit I'm not too concerned about the weather and the impact of European economies as these just introduce volatility in the short term, but the quality of the company will show through in the long term.

Motley Fool article I was interested to read the recent Motley Fool article entitled "3 great shares for your ISA that you've probably never heard of". The essence was that they had found shares in 3 long established companies with bomb proof balance sheets that would provide safe ISA investments and also provide inheritance tax relief if held for 2 years or more (like many AIM companies). The 3 companies they tipped were James Halstead, FW Thorpe & Nichols. I would like to suggest that Andrews Sykes also has these qualities and is perhaps a great share that the Motley Fool has probably never heard of. It is hardly suprising as it must have one of the lowest investor profiles of any successful company. Despite the company trading since 1964, I had never heard of it until fairly recently, despite my monitoring of AIM stocks. Worth a look if you are a long term investor who likes conservatively run microcap companies
