Brokers Revenue & profit forecasts for the year have been increased following todays Interims.Surely Woodford must be thinking of buying in now-his name on our share register would certainly improve our profile & rating.

AGM statement today Very positive statement today & trading in line with market expectations.However ,our Neiman acquisition seems to have been integrated very quickly with an expecation of increased revenues which together with the additional tote contract could result in an uograde in our expected profits for the current year together with a dividend increase later this year.An investment which is unlikely to set the world alight but it,currently,looks pretty safe & is paying me a net yield of over 6% which I cannot complain at

Re: NEW ARTICLE: HSS Hire turns lower af... Unfortunately no, all is far from ok. Massive store & capex expansion into weakness is a major mistake. I forsee no profit & a high risk they go insolvent in the coming year. They don't even look to be cashflow viable. I suspect b4 too long in order to survive they would have to cancel the dy & halt the store rollout & comprehensively cease buying new equipment. This would destroy the franchise. One could hope for a trade buyer, but I suspect no one is foolish enough to be interested & would know they could far more cheaply cherrypick the assets from the knackers yard / receiver. How the previous backers got away with a float, let alone at £2, is beyond me. It's the old joke: the advisor client relationship is one where the advisor provides the experience & the client the money; at the end the advisor leaves with the money & the client is left with the experience. If I had any of these, which I don't, I'd bail out pdq. Not shorting etc, just saying this looks like disaster written all over. Sorry.

Paul Scott's view Good morning!At last we have some interesting company results and trading updates, so I'll be able to get stuck into some proper reporting, rather than waffling on about chaotic market conditions!US marketsThe amazingly strong recovery that we saw yesterday, fizzled out in the US markets in the last hour, as you can see from the five-day chart below of the S&P 500. It has bounced strongly this week, twice now, but closed last night's session at or around the lows (of around 1870) which have been hit three times now this week. So traders are looking to see if this level holds again. If it does, then the market will have probably put in a bottom, and it will be time to gear up & go long. If c.1870 doesn't hold, then we might see another lurch down, who knows? So far, so good this morning, with the S&P futures currently at 1900 (at 9:12 am)This chart is the last five trading days, from Wed 19 Aug 2015, to yesterday, Tue 25 Aug 2015. So you can see the two big plunges on Mon, then a big bounce followed by another big fall, on Tue (yesterday):55dd704047b5dSPX_chart.JPGI'll stick my neck out, and say that I reckon this could be the low point, and I'm leaning a bit towards a decent recovery from here. Although that's purely a hunch. Why? Because the economic recovery in the USA is looking good now, inflation is low, and lower oil is feeding through into more consumer spending. When the American economy grows, it tends to pull the rest of the world up too. Cheap oil has historically always been good for growth too - fairly obviously, as it gives people and companies more money to spend, more than offsetting the reduction in capex by oil companies.Stock markets fundamentally go up & down because of expectations about future company earnings. So markets crashed in 2007-8 because the market realised that corporate earnings were likely to drop heavily, which they did. Then markets recovered, as the financial crisis stabilised and corporate earnings began to recover strongly.So I don't think there is any particular reason for shares to have another big move down, unless the market becomes convinced that earnings growth is stalling, or even likely to go into reverse. It's obvious why resources stocks have sold off, but it's difficult to see much of a valid reason for everything else to sell off too, apart from pockets of over-valuation in some sectors. Unless you think that we're going into recession again, or even worse, that a new financial crisis is brewing (bank shares have sold off a lot, so the market is clearly getting jittery about that).Debate is already raging about what caused the "flash crash" on Monday. High Frequency Traders (HFT) say it had nothing to do with them, and that they actually help create liquidity. I think most other people realise that's nonsense/PR, and that it's fairly obvious that computerised trading creates more volatility, because it rams through a much higher volume of trades at periods of peak market uncertainty, and sometimes does so at irrational prices.I think we just have to live with the fact that modern, inter-connected electronic markets, are inherently more volatile than we're used to. So every now and then, there will be large & very rapid moves down. The last week has felt really bad, but it's only been a 10% move down - which is a normal market correction. It just happened so fast, that seems to be what spooked some people. Or at least, we're not used to this level of volatility anyway, since corrections have been few & far between in recent years. As they say, if you can't take the heat...China ... again!As regards China, what the TV news here last night forgot to report, is that the Chinese have had a stock market crash because it had previously gone on a wild, speculative frenzy. Amazingly the Chinese market is still actually up in the last year, even after having crashed recently! One year chart below, courtesy of Bloomberg:55dd6e4c91cfbChina

ALD Broker Backing.......... from Citywire this moring, looks a bit conservative but look at the last line.Aldermore benefiting from bulkChallenger bank Aldermore (ALD) is increasing in scale, which is expected to reflect positively in its first-half results.RBC Capital Markets analyst Peter Leonardos retained his ‘sector perform’ recommendation but reduced the target price from 310p to 300p. The shares rose 2p to 267.1p yesterday.‘We expect H1 2015 results to demonstrate the benefit of Aldermore’s increased scale, but we only increase our 2015 earnings per share forecast by 2%,’ he said. ‘The implied upside to our price target is 5% and we do not expect a dividend until 2017.’He added: ‘We forecast a c.50% increase in net interest income in H1 2015 year-on-year and a more than doubling of adjusted profit before tax year-on-year, since strong net new lending volumes are delivering high operating leverage.We expect management to reiterate the guidance communicated with the initial public offering and give a positive outlook statement, despite the implications of the summer Budget. In light of this and strong growth year-on-year, we believe results should support the shares at the current level and could even push them temporarily above our price target.’ 300p.

Re: Woeful Wednesday... In principle closing before the news is clever and the thing to do ,regardless of the outcome This is because risk reward is best earlier , whereas risk reward on the news is dependent on the outcome . When you look at the concept of tail risk you can easily apply it here . At an entry to 3.5 or less the risk reward was great and the speculation drove this to 3 times that value . Realistically at 2 or 3 times you don't need to be more greedy . Especially when you have an unknown as we have seen with this planning permission . Getting in at 10p to get to 20p your risk return is much higher . Always reason in RR terms when trading or even investing

share price... ...looks overbought to the untrained eye - now at 13% discount to NAV. Strange discount should be so narrow given current circumstances and past history. Looks priced in expectation of a significant rise in Shanghai composite tomorrow.
