    The last share I bought was a top up of Dialight (DIA) @ 755p in Feb. They issued a very +ve FY statement recently and the SP is up around 40% to 1075p.

    Their main business is industrial LED lighting. Market cap. is now around £330m so will soon be promoted to the FTSE 250 which should give the SP another boost.

    Robbie Burns is a fan and also Mark Slater who runs the Slater Growth fund - I think DIA is a top three holding for the fund.

    A lot further to go imo.

    Sounds like one to investigate. The future is definitely LED; not the fluorescent rubbish we're near enough forced to buy now!

    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Firstgroup, because of the stonking 12.5% yield and 7.5 PE ratio. I think with austerity people will use public transport more, I also think it likely the Government will encourage more people to use public transport. Quite a few possible minuses with this one - reduction of subsidies, and a high fixed costs business :(

    Excellent company, they charge me £1.20 for what equates to a 20 minute walk into town, Arriva charge £2.20 for the same journey, needless to say that Arriva never get any of my business ;)

    It was between them and Morrisons....

    I bought Morrisons on my wife's advice in 2004, when they were struggling to digest Safeway, @ 190.7p. Sold most of them last December @ 325p. 66% profit, but it took 7 years. Should have sold earlier, but that's hindsight for you.

    Did you sell in time?

    No, I still have the certificate which presumably is now completely worthless.

    Still trying to decide whether to buy Sainsbury, Morrison or Vodafone shares, just want some decent dividend income from a company that won't vanish into thin air:(
