Re: Perfect Positive Storm Bryan,"I wasn't aware of the pension deficit""The combined gross deficit of the Group's defined benefit and retirement indemnity schemes at 31 March 2017 was £104.6 million; this compares to £133.5 million at 30 September 2016 and £43.3 million at 31 March 2016"Nothing like as bad as BT's but significant - similar size to the operating profit.

Re: Perfect Positive Storm Interesting - I wasn't aware of the pension deficit. I will check it out to see how well managed it is. As regards PE I'm not at all concerned by the forward looking view given the newsflow and other fundamentals I can see/read. Dividend is due in a little while too so more than happy hold short, medium and long term unless the story changes.

Re: Perfect Positive Storm I've owned ECM in the past; and like the company. Management have done a good job of getting through some difficult times, and it looks like things are finally paying off for them, but to answer your question, "What's not to like?" - the share price. On today's results it gives a PE of 26, and a yield of 2.25%; for an underlying growth rate of under 5%.And they still have a significant pension deficit to deal with. For me that is expensive, and there is better value elsewhere; so I won't be buying at this price. However, if I were already a holder, I would be glad to continue to hold on the back of these results.When the pre close trading statement was released, I pencilled in a price of 481 as one I would be happy to buy back in on. Whilst I'm encouraged by the actual results and may push up the price at which I'd buy a little bit - 13% is too much.

Perfect Positive Storm This company has been on my radar for a while using market filters on some software I use - yield, cash coverage and safety, growth etc. This mornings announcement confirms the positive nature of the trading environment now and in the future plus the share goes ex-dividend at the end of the month I think. What not to like. Bought in this morning.DYOR.

Re: Why such a fall on such a good trading s... I thought the same, looking for a good rise, but then its always been in the back of my mind that last years 100% rise, means the SP has got a bit ahead of itself.

Why such a fall on such a good trading statement? I'm surprised - read the RNS at 7.30 this morning and expected a 5% jump up, possibly more. It opened up around 3.5%, but look what has happened since. Currently 4.73.I still can't see what the negatives are in the trading statement. Unless the good news was 'already in the price'. But still then, why the fall - the forward guidance good news is still good news, surely, isn't it? So now it isn't 'in the price'?Or is it just another case of 'buy on rumour, sell on fact'?I'd be grateful for help in understanding this.Thanks,LoveMusic
