Hello Share Traders. Water Intelligence (WATR) was one of my big winners - until fairly recently when it began a share price decay. I think this fall is unwarranted and is perhaps partly due to a prolonged bout of profit-taking after months of rises. This is a company whose time has come. And its latest quarterly update was not at all bad, even if it’s caused a 10% dip in the shares.
Hello Share Seekers. Tom and Steve from the N50 team recommend we buy BP (BP.) shares on the back of its recent results. As usual, they rightly look at value before offering this tip. And their case here, with among other factors its dividend and reduction of debt, is strong enough. And when also taking future prospects into account, the case for collecting more BP shares looks stronger than ever.
Hello Share Fanciers. With markets closed, I venture to open a subject that might seem now't to do with shares and rather self-indulgent. But it is indirectly relevant to share shifters, so please bear with me. Brought up in a straight-laced home in the 1950's I never swear. But I don't object to it in others, like Uncle Tom, for instance.
Hello Share Dabblers. Let’s take a look at a firm that takes an interest in niche light engineering companies that may not be realising their true potential. Avingtrans (AVG) buys up such outfits and includes them in its subsidiaries. Then it turns them around, perhaps to sell on. It’s been doing that for ten years and has seen success along the way, rewarding its investors with some jolly dividends too.
Hello Share Sorters. This old punter has suggested before you look at a mining umbrella outfit called Trident Royalties (TRR). This support has just been bolstered by an encouraging ‘activity report’ for the first quarter of the year.
Hello Share Catchers. Like me, you’re probably fed up with the amount of over-packaging that still goes on. Look at those silly Easter eggs we’ve recently scoffed. But we still need some packaging. And D S Smith (SMDS) is a company that’s big in cardboard boxes, cartons and paper, both of which are recycled. Furthermore, it’s on a mission to reduce plastic packaging and carbon footprints. This Footsie member has so far replaced over 170 million items of single-use plastic from its customers’ supply chains with recyclable alternatives.
Hello Share Gang. Folks who buy shares in lesser known companies should be aware that some very peculiar, and often totally unjustified, attacks can happen to their share prices. One of the daftest reasons why a share falls away is the seasonal factor. For example, companies that shine at Christmas, like book publishers, will often see the share price rise in December. Even though it’s the year-long performance that really counts. Today’s selection for your further research falls into the seasonal category for a different reason.
Hello Share Pilots. Have you noticed viruses don't seem as much a threat as they used to be for we private owners? Perhaps its because the search platforms have beefed up their protection. And cyber security is still very lucrative. One of the more successful cyber security merchants is Corero Network Security (CNS). It's numbers are just out and they're pretty exciting.
Hello Share Mates. It's natural, isn't it? We're warned about most of the dodgy companies on this blistering website. And we begin to think many more listed companies are suspect. They have incompetent mangers or worse still, there is some chicanery going on.
Hello Share Takers. Let's take a gander at a company which is successfully exploiting a new market. That market is predicting how well an advertisement is likely to succeed. The name of the outfit is System1 Group (SYS1).
