Think he means LRE.

Gary do you mean Lancaster Holdings or Lancashire Holdings.

[nofool] 06/3/2015 16:18

Prices right back to January of last year mind. Makes you think..

Either BEZ was a wee bit pricey then, following a mega run up from 200p...or it's simply dirt cheap now!

[wasntreallysurewhatwasgoingon] 06/3/2015 16:15

I would agree too. What a tart!

[schofip] 06/3/2015 15:54

Welcome Gary you have joined at exactly the right time well done.

[milliepeed] 06/3/2015 15:28

Yep, sub 280 is the place to get in, whatever your horizons.

[nofool] 06/3/2015 15:25

It's a good match Gary. Welcome!

Just joined the BEZ Investors Club with a 2000 Purchased to replace my Catlin and to go with my Lancaster Holdings. Great yield 7.5% plus next year, looks good value for money

May have borrowed money to buy get the dividend and then hopefully sellout with a profit. Absolutely no sense in selling at this price to risky for a sell and buy back. With an RSI at approx 30 still well oversold.

[nofool] 06/3/2015 10:11

So why are people selling now? Doesn't make sense...

or does it?

- if they bought at say 120 it does!

[nofool] 06/3/2015 09:04

I agree again schofip. The charts say that to open a Short position sub 280p on this money maker, would frankly be stupid.

[hooley] 06/3/2015 08:54

The short interest tracker site shows no positions in this stock? If you want a fix on the likely dividend for this year follow the cash flow. My best guess is 28p for the current year. Should I stay safe at Lloyds with 1% or risk it for 10% in Bez? The hedgies can't bust the company, but they might trigger a bid; so I'll go for the 10%.

Investing/shorting is all about risk. As a long term investor I sleep at night. The lower the price goes the bigger the risk to the shorter.

[edmundshaw] 05/3/2015 20:03

For avoidance of doubt, I have been in these for 4 years - at a price of 130p, and dividends of 78p in that time. I am not negative, but I can see possible short to medium term pitfalls for a shareprice in excess of £3, so I am lighter in these than I was.

Long term fine. But I get the impression not everyone on this board has a 5 year view - "lol" as they say nowadays.

[edmundshaw] 05/3/2015 20:01

40 points? Not quite - that would be a hefty dividend to pay for a shorter around before XD date.

[nofool] 05/3/2015 19:01

They've just a had a useful 40 points Shorting. Let's hope they've stopped that for now eh..?

[schofip] 05/3/2015 17:44

At these prices I have to admit could not resist another nibble or two. I am in long term so not overly worried either way. Given a choice looking at the chart I would not fancy being a shorter, My sleeping tablets are not strong enough.

[milliepeed] 05/3/2015 16:24

Me too no fool!

[nofool] 05/3/2015 16:24

'tis a hard one to call at the moment. They are either going to sling it back up to 300 in short order, or let it meander down to 260 over the next week or so..?

Still, nothing to stop me Buying like a man possessed!

[hooley] 05/3/2015 15:02

If you want to know what this stock is likely to do in the near term look at LRE. No sign of shorting either.

[nofool] 05/3/2015 14:43

Hopefully building a base around here. No need to slip completely out of the uptrend on this stock imo.
