Impellam 962.5 per cent ahead on my share tip ( plus dividends) – is it time to bank gains?

Impellam Group (LSE: IPEL), an AIM-listed staffing and outsourced support services provider in the UK and North America, with smaller operations in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and mainland Europe is a big success from my time at t1ps – Steve Moore and I tipped it at 40p in September 2009. I published a note saying that the stock was still a buy at 315p in December of last year. After results for the company’s year ended 28th December 2012, released last week, the shares now trade at 425p. You see, Steve and I do get the odd tip right and we will be serving up another hot prospect on our new Nifty Fifty website later this week.

ILX - CEO Goes: Panic?

This is a hard piece to write. Firstly AIM listed training and software group ILX (LSE:ILX) has been a disastrous share tip for me from my days at t1ps.com – recommended at 72.5p in February 2004 the share price is now 10.75p. I can only apologise for that. My average gain per tip over 12 years and 241 tips would have been a bit better than 42.7% had I never met this company. Secondly the CEO (until today) Ken Scott is a nice guy and a friend of mine. As it happens the FD who resigned several months ago (Jon Pickles) is also a mate – he will officially leave the payroll at Christmas as will Ken.
