PMHL the one to watch

2010-05-02T03:16:00.000-07:00

This company has some great fundamentals and it's share price has come up nicely in the last year. However I still feel that there is a lot more that we may see out of the share price, therefore I feel it is one to watch.

Just received part of a payment from purchaser of £305m.
It has just broke out of it channel on the charts.

These are just two of the positive points, visit there website and get more details. I feel that the fundamentals are positive in this company but as always please do some more of your own research before considering to buy.

Matra Petroleum (MTA)

2010-03-25T04:58:00.000-07:00

My latest addition to my watchlist is Matra Petroleum (as I have always stated do not base your buying decisions on what I say, you will have to read about the company in further detail and draw your own conclusions). I have decided to place Matra Petroleum on my watchlist as I feel that it has great prospects in the near future, as it has zero debt and it is opening up another well in Russia. If all goes well with the drilling we could be looking at a large increase in the share price. They have based the placement of the new well on the previous well that they drilled, as they received some oil from the well but not the full amount that could be obtained from the source. If you follow the link below it will give a more detailed description of the basis of the placement of the new well.

This is just a brief outline, so as I said before read more about the company to help draw a suitable conclusion.

Lloyds bank chief executive to get £10m bonus

2010-02-13T14:58:00.001-08:00

Wow, if only we could all get a £10 million pound bonus in these tough economic times. However such a big payout could cause stakeholder conflict this would be that the shareholders mainly may not agree. Thus possibly leading to the share price descending as shareholders may choose to sell their shares as they are angered by the bonus. Daniels on the other hand feels that he is entitled to the bonus after his successful completion of the fund raising to cut the banks dependence on the state.

Add you comments and views below we would be extremely interested to hear from you.

Lexus Hybrid to be added to Toyota's recall list

2010-02-08T16:43:00.001-08:00

Toyota is expected as early as today to announce the recall of 300 000 Prius model, this may influence the opening of various dealers share prices such as Inchcape. However I would expect it only to be a minor influence on the share price. As the major Toyota recall would of had more effect on the share price, As Toyota were recalling approximately 8.1million cars at the time.

Toyota reassurance message from Jon Williams

2010-02-05T02:18:00.000-08:00

Toyota UK is trying to build consumer confidence again by offering help and advice. Furthermore the commercial director is trying to show that he believes 100% in the Toyota brand, as if he did not he would not let his family and friends drive a Toyota.

Jon Williams has also tried to give reasoning to why there is a problem with the accelerator pedal on the new Toyota's. He continues to explain how the problem is solved.

What Toyota is trying to do here is honour their corporate social responsibility, which needs to be done by any organisation with such a critical problem at hand. Watch the video below to see Jon Williams reassurance speech. I would not expect this to have much effect on the companies share price it is just Toyota trying to show they care to possibly keep existing customers in the UK. Even though the UK has not been majorly affected by the problem.

British Gas to cut bills by 7%

2010-02-04T10:00:00.001-08:00

Today British Gas confirmed to cut gas bills by 7%, this means there will be a small amount of money put back in our pockets from the cut. However in the next few day/weeks we could expect that other suppliers may reduce their gas bills even further than British Gas. Therefore I would not assume that by this price reduction that their share price will move to far up even though it is good news. Furthermore it could be expected that whilst other suppliers are reducing their price further than British Gas, it will just remain at 7% the price reduction of British Gas. Therefore it may be an idea to watch the share price of competitors.

Down Day for the FTSE

2010-02-04T05:47:00.000-08:00

MPs having to repay £1.1m in expenses as the verdict was drawn today.

The Bank of England called a halt today on the £200billion quantitative easing scheme.

House prices rise again.

These are just some of the major negative effects that have impacted on the FTSE today, thus impacting on various other companies that trade within the FTSE. However analysts believe that Britian may be coming out of the recession, now its just down to being cautious on investments as they will still remain an uneasy ride.
