Re: Bought at 88p numberbiter,I am surprised you do not invest in any AIM stocks after reading your previous post. There are some real gems listed on AIM and I think WTM looks set to be one and I have bought some shares today. Normally I would agree that the FTSE 100 stocks are more reliable both in performance and dividend payments but that cannot be claimed at this time. Banks, commodity stocks and oil companies have been falling and experiencing high levels of volatility. Now dividends are being cut. Compare this with WTM which is perfoming well and has announced that it has £6m in cash on its balance sheet. That is about 20% of its market cap. Casa.

Re: Bought at 88p You can replace 'mostly' by 'all'. I do not invest in companies quoted on AIM.

Re: Bought at 88p We don't need a daily report to work out simple ratios. In 2015, these were:Quick ratio 1.9Net profit margin 2.1%ROCE 6.6Cash Flow v Net Eanings. 1.3Net cash per share 12.2pWhat keeps the share price from going up too much is that the company's performance has historically been up and down, but because of its cash position it must be considered relatively low risk. the way, I would not invest in any company where the Cash Flow v Net Earnings figure fell below 1.

AGM Statement Another nice positive (and short) one today, like Bellway; hopefully not a hostage to fortune for 2016.

at 88p 4m traded 4m traded and price holds in high 80's....this might be interesting development -they seem an obvious take over candidate but then again have been for years so that wasn't on my radar.good to see some-one buying in even as a long term holder at this price...All IMHO,DYOR + BoLWTM is in my top5 hldgs

Re: Bought at 88p hi ZP2apologies I;ve not replied as yet....thanks for your favourites.....I am cautious on the market and invested in asset realisation / bid situations...BPM, GKO, LEAF (the most upside) LXB, PSPI, VLETrading wise TMMG remains seriously undervalued as it has for year but feel it will re-rate in 2016,WYG has a great chart break out, as well as growth fundamentals,INB is very speculative but good risk / reward

Re: Bought at 88p thanks for sharing Zulu2in 2015 WTN stated that ROCE was 30% so that criteria is smashed,their profit margin will not ever be high one due to the nature of their business - their target is to reach 6% by 2019. hear your point that it is not an absolute criteria but a relative one, and without doubt WTM margins are on a multi year margin growth.It is no surprise that WTM is one of an elite group your filter throws up,I would similarly say it is one of a very small number of shares that seem lower risk and significantly undervalued and is 1 of my top5 hldgs as it seems investors have not yet realised the CASH it has, and generates, and that the elimination of losses will lead to a significant profit jump. It reminds me of the turnaround at HOW Group plc 15+ years ago!!I'd be interested to know any other holdings you think have similar hidden value?All IMHO, DYOR + BoLWTM is in my top5 hldgs

Bought at 88p I bought 16400 shares at £0.88 totalling £14,500 - 6% of my portfolioI have various searches that I use to find shares. The search that found Waterman is my favourite search but it does not find many. Since April 2012 its found 12 shares with an average gain of 60% (not including dividends).What I look for when buying a stock4 years of continual growth which can be a combination of historic and forecast growth – YesLow Forecast PER (<16) & PEG (<0.7) and good EPS Growth (>15%) – YesBased on a price of £0.852016 EPS Forecast 7.52p EPS Growth 35.3% PER 11.3 PEG 0.32 2017 EPS Forecast 9.32p EPS Growth 23.9%% PER 9.1 PEG 0.38 The Below are based on 2014 ResultsPositive 1 Year Relative Strength - YesPositive 1 Month Relative Strength – YesROCE of 20% - No 11% But improving each over the last 2 yearsProfit Margin of over 7.5% - No a low 2.4% But improving each over the last 2 yearsCashflow Per Share greater than EPS around 1.3 - Yes 1.2Low Gearing Yes -0.6%Quick Ratio over 1 - Yes 1.4Director Share holding >10% - No a low 1%Dividend Yield (a nice to have) forecast – Yes 3.5% / 4.5%ConclusionI normally look for higher profit margins and ROCE than what Waterman have achieved in 2014. I don't have 2015 figures yet.This search does not look for a profit margin of a set percentage it looks for a profit margin trend of more than 1, Waterman's is 20.Paul Scott wrote a nice piece on Waterman on 5th Oct[link] you don't currently get his daily report sign up today, he puts a lot of effort into it, it's brilliant and it's free.Follow me on facebook[link] Twitter@GrowthStocksUK

Re: at 78p great results + outlook hi d&cjust posted a note on WYG but I think the same applies here....the CASH and future CASH generation will create more support.the chart pattern will bring in tech trader - all time highs confirmed relative to the market.of course always specific execution risks and quite hard to buy large amount of shares,but has heaps of potential over a 24 month timescaleAll IMHO, DYOR + BoLWTM is in my top5 hldgs

Re: at 78p great results + outlook You must be a happy chappy with today's continued rise, and a spurt in WYG too...
