And now 147.50p Nice spate of buys yesterday afternoon continued to push SP higher. It seems this is now playing catchup. Well below the radar for all but the discerning. Could well make 165p by Christmas.GLA

Re: D.Telegraph's Questor..... >Avon Rubber jumps as profits beat expectations</b>Avon Rubber's rising profits have come in just as expected, says Questor<imgsrc="[link] Rubber makes products used in milking cowsJohn Ficenec, Questor Editor60AM GMT 20 Nov 2014Avon Rubber702½p+43pQuestor says BUYMANUFACTURING group Avon Rubber reported a strong rise in profits for the year, leading brokers to upgrade expectations, which helped to send the shares up more than 5pc yesterday.The Wiltshire-headquartered group said adjusted pre-tax profits were up from £13.7m to £16.6m during the period, with revenue flat at £124.8m.Chief executive Peter Slabbert hailed an “excellent year” during which Avon was steadily taking control of its distribution network, allowing it to charge retail prices rather than wholesale prices for its goods. The difference between the wholesale and retail price can be as much as 33pc.Avon Rubber manufactures gas masks for the military and rubber items used by dairy farmers in the milking process; and the majority of the profit comes from the provision of those gas masks to defence clients.Although defence budgets are under pressure worldwide, Avon said a strong order intake in Protection & Defence put the company in a good position for next year. It said it was well placed as the sole US defence supplier, where it is locked midway into a 10-year contract. Avon said orders of its M50 gas mask provided good revenue visibility.The company now has a much stronger balance sheet position after it eliminated its £10.9m debt and turned it round to a £2.9m cash balance by the year end at September 30. Avon took charges of £2.3m during the year, the majority of which related to closing down old manufacturing facilities in the US. The company expects to make savings of £1m a year from next year following the closure.Avon also generated plenty of cash during the year, the amount from operations almost doubling and investment spending falling sharply.Meanwhile, the annual dividend was increased by 30pc to 5.61p, with the shares going ex-dividend on February 18 and payable on March 20. Although the dividend only offers a forecast yield of 0.9pc, it is expected to increase by more than 20pc and is covered eight times by earnings.Questor recommended buying the shares as we flagged the possibility of upgrades (Buy, 627p, May 1), and we stick with this position for the long term. Buy.

AML Hydrogen Economy 20 Nov 2014

Re: Steady progress DeepIt seems that many good results or statements of late seem to be followed by a steep fall. Grey's explanation probably as good as any, people buying in in expectation of a big surprise on the upside (like the special div) and being disappointed with a company performing in line with or somewhat better than predicted but without the big headline.I was curious why CGL was holding up well and comparing the IMS from CGL on 13th and AML 19th CGL-11 per cent increase in gross premiums written-6 per cent increase in net premiums earnedAMLGross written premium 9 month up 4.2% at constant exchange rate increase was 9.9%. Maybe CGL built expectations but AML fell short?H2

TLPR FRTEB 20 Nov 2014

Re: Sold @ 282 Spain Fund, good luck on waiting for a takeover. I sold TLPR because I thought it had probably topped out and was at least heading for < 250 and possibly as low as 175 later next year, but I'm not 100% confident about reading charts so I didn't post that - I have been known to be drastically wrong so DYOR. Having said that, Lambrini Girl has now said it could go sub £2 and LG has been known to be drastically right on "one or two" occasions I'm not worthy!!!ICAP - I'm out, as of a few weeks ago.
