Re: 1p today We have potential gold of about 500k ounces worth $600 million USD to us before extraction costs. The mine is in Wales and ready to go in production. That alone should be valued at around £30-40 million right now. I will revise my target upwards to 4-6p minimum in the very short term.
Re: Free fall Hard to tell.As we all know short term price movements are driven by emotion, not rationale. And Serco is currently completely unloved and the prognosis for the next 1-2 years is not great.However, I think a longer term view is encouraging. Everybody left in the company knows they have to be cleaner than clean in running their contracts and financial reporting. They still have an amazing visibility of future income (an order book worth around 3 year's turnover) they are still profitable; and they have a CEO with a great track record at Aggreko (which does not necessarily mean success here of course.) They also have a clear focus on the forward strategy.Their latest release predicted profits this year (after financial corrections) of £130-140m. That's an EPS of around 20p, which puts the current share price at a PE of under 9, which is cheap for a profitable company.We know there will be a rights issue, and it could be the price is already moving down in anticipation of how dilutive this will be. I am beginning to think it may be even more severe than I previously predicted - similar to the Lloyds one a few years ago - maybe 5 to 1 at 20p. I don't think Soames would have released the update if he believed there were any more significant skeletons in the cupboard, so I would be surprised if we get any further major bad news in the near future. The outlook for 2015 will be the key to things I think. I'd be amazed (unless there is further bad news, or we get a really bad prediction for 2015) if the price dropped as low as 120, and my guess would be it will begin to stabilise somewhere just above 150, but you never know. There's certainly a lot of short term trading going on right now.
Placing to part fund PVM deal Tullett Prebon announces placing to part fund PVM dealDate: Friday 21 Nov 2014LONDON (ShareCast) - Tullett Prebon, the FTSE 250-listed inter-dealer broker, is set to raise over £32m from a placing to help fund the acquisition of PVM Oil Associates.The announcement of the placing, which was set at a steep discount to its share price the previous day, saw Tullett's shares fall sharply on Friday.The purchase of the broker of oil instruments was first announced in May and is expected to complete next week.Once completed, Tullett will have to pay $112m (£71.1m) through the issue of 25.8m shares, representing 11.8% of its issued share capital.The group said it would be issuing half the shares to shareholders of PVM and the other half in a placing to institutional investors.The placing is expected to be issued at a price of 248p per share, raising £32.1m which will be paid net of transaction costs to certain PVM shareholders who have elected to receive cash proceeds.The purchase of PVM should expand Tullett's activities in the energy sector and give it a "significant presence" in broking crude oil and petroleum products, according to a statement in May.The placing will take place on 26 November, at which time the PVM acquisition is expected to complete.Tullett Prebon's shares were down 4.8% at 255.2p by 087.

Re: Free fall Earl,I guess there is no bottom in that there is a possibility the company could go bust. It's net debt is very big and there is a need to raise capital. The company is lossmaking and is projected to be so for some considerable time. The capital will need to be further diluted to keep the show on the road. It's image is so tarnished, that it is questionable how well positioned it will be going forward with a lot of potential customers gazing at it and thinking about the consistent operational failures.I think you have to put yourself in the position of a commercial customer or a government department wanting to pay for a service and thinking, is this going to damage my commercial business or am I going to lose my job if this goes wrong.Soames is probably a very admirable chap and did well at Aggreko, but the businesses are very different. Aggreko had the market to itself almost for years and the business grew well with a fairly unique product which is now experiencing competition. Serco is one of many service providers who's success relies not on a unique product but a service with very thin profit margins, a reputation of good deliver which has been ruined, and with no real moat or barrier to enter for the business.I would sell, take what ever money you can get out of it and put it into something with a really strong franchise.Games -- well that's my 2 penneth worth anyhoo!!
coiled spring: is what this is steady Eddy is what we want a nice 1.80 finish today perhaaps
Re: Steady progress I've noticed that the analysts forecasts for next year are coming down to 41p to 43p of earnings. Fair enough if claims go up and rates go down. This would imply fair value at around £4.It's all guesswork, of course, because who knows what claims will be........
posts on lse.co.uk some of those people shouldn't be anywhere near a computer based on the drivelso one person says if we don't take this deal we will need to fund raise.....hello..SONAanother one ,,oh the offer is at 115 so why are we sitting at 92p..FFS
Re: News Clearly something going on. Its clean with £1.5m in the bank and decent management.

Re: 1p today Thanks YoungBaz (YB)You're perfectly right, bit of an oversight on my part.Compared with some other companies, the total shares in issue is not a vast amount so hopefully we could be in for an exciting ride, upwards. A good assay report and a good flow report could see us on our way.Good luck YB.YB
Finncap increase their EPS forecast Finncap say Buy, increase their EPS for next year to 5.1c and have a 51p target price.Here's their summary:"Enteq Upstream^: Encouraging interim results (BUY) Half-year results saw a decent increase in drilling tools revenues, with a strong increase in profitability. Commercial progress included new Asian customer wins, investment in new products, and a focus on operational efficiencies. No impact has yet been seen from the weaker oil price. Over the next two years, we expect sales growth will be driven by new customer territories and commercial traction with new products, even in a more difficult oil price environment. No change to current year forecasts, with EPS raised by 20% next year on a lower tax charge. The shares have bounced but remain deeply undervalued versus the companys peers; as such we retain our 51p price target and Buy rating."
More good news 3 RNS todayBergen cancelled is great news, JORC in December and 1 small placing
