The FTSE 250 shares in engineering support services group Babcock International (BAB) are ticking up as the market digests its cash-and-shares acquisition of peer VT Group (VTG). The trend in underlying trading is encouraging and although Company REFS currently shows broker stances as ‘embargoed’ in response to the takeover, I noticed last week that Panmure Gordon has revised its fair value target on Babcock from 758p to 820p per share compared with the price currently trading around 580p – implying over 40% upside. The situation merits watching in the short and medium term, given a pre-close period update on Tuesday 30 March which ought to affirm trading, an analysts’ seminar on Wednesday [31 March] which might beget more insightful notes on the combined group, and evidence of the benefits emerging in months ahead. This looks modest in context if the prospective earnings growth and also compared with Serco Group (SRP) in the FTSE 100 index (UKX) which enjoys a P/E of about 17 times, approximately in line with its earnings growth. A 2 February interim management statement asserted trading in line with expectations, no change to market conditions and management confident the outcome for the year to end-March 2010 “will be another year of excellent progress”. read more

At the end of the first meeting the Norths admitted to being confused about the strategy (and Gen X Lifestyle Solutions did not provide them with any written information to take away with them). To find such rare and thoroughly researched properties, Gen X Lifestyle Solutions charge some clients $35,000, which the salesman suggested wasn’t really a problem – he’d simply add the fee to their loan. The Norths began talking to solicitors and mortgage brokers – arranged by Gen X Lifestyle Solutions – to settle the deal. The Norths engaged a lawyer to try and get Gen X Lifestyle Solutions to refund the fees they’d already paid – which thus far has been refused. After I wrote my initial column, every time anyone types "Gen X Lifestyle Solutions" into Google the title of my article appears – "Lambs to the Slaughter" – which would be okay if your business is a souvlaki shop but not so good if you’re dealing with people’s money. Better still, right now this column is also being indexed by Google – and the more times you mention the name Gen X Lifestyle Solutions, the higher up the search rankings go. read more

While there is no degree one can earn to become a successful real estate investor, most successful real estate investors do share similar characteristics. Having and working a plan, building a strong network of mentors and advisors, staying on top of changes in the market, being vigilant in portfolio management and treating people well, are just some of the characteristics of successful real estate investors. A successful investor is simply a person who knows what he wants – financially, personally, and in terms of what he wants to contribute to the world – and uses real estate investing as a way to get those things. For a successful real estate investor, real estate is a means to an end, not an end unto itself. A successful real estate investor works to become as financially secure as is necessary for his peace of mind and who is happy and comfortable with his investment activities. Vena Jones-Cox is a past president of the Real Estate Investor’s Association of Cincinnati, the Ohio Real Estate Investor’s Association, and the National Real Estate Investor’s Association. read more
