Sold today prior to results Having held GAW for a few years, I've decided to get out now, following their latest Warhammer revamp. There's a lot on negative buzz amongst the hobbyists and more of my friends seem to be leaving GAW for other systems. Mantic seem to be doing well and a lot of the other minor players seem to me to be gaining support.It's been a good ride and I'm out with a healthy profit overall (despite topping up at near £8!!), but there's other opportunities that look cheap to me at the moment, with more predictable dividend payments.Cheers,

Re: Still a good buy? Yeah - not much to go on. First half year results were broadly similar to the previous year - significantly impacted by a strong pound. The pound has weakened against the dollar - which should be a good thing for US revenues, however the recent Euro devaluation will impact GW as Europe is their biggest region. I'm not expecting anything spectacular, but I would hope that the second half year results would exceed the first half year, given that it includes the Christmas boost.Let's assume that EPS for the year exceeds 30p - which I think is a reasonable expectation and given most spare cash is returned to share holders as dividend, then I'm placing the anticipated yield for this share at about 6%. I think that makes this a buy at the 500p level.Cheers,
Re: Still a good buy? Just a quick revisit - if the BOD dont pull their finger out on this then the SP is just going to continue to slide, the fundamentals are there but its lost its punch.
