Is there some uber negative news or something as dont understand why this one is drifting lower?

[knighty0001] 18/5/2009 18:50

Those lettuce shakers aint got rid of me. They'll have to try harder

[cockneyrebel] 18/5/2009 13:46

decent trading statement - I guess on the current rating punters don't find these as exciting as other stocks?

Dunno whether to hold or chase faster stuff with the cash myself.

the way i see it is a lot of people sold equities in the last few days on fear,I think we had a bad couple of days in this little bull run after the budget,well Mervyn King seemed even less positive than the chancellor in his announcement the other day and this,among other figures coming out prompted people to take some profits from what has been a good little run since march 9th.The trend line on the lows for this stock suggest that it wont go sub 75p.The recent sharp rise down to nakedtrader and followers,imo.

yep tree shake...

[stockadoodle] 14/5/2009 10:35

Looks like it jaws...

I bet this recovers today as seems silly that the price drops like this for no obvious reason whatsoever.. Seeing it in WKP as well but gave me an opp to top up sub 15 so not complaining

Some realy good buying opportunities being created for long/mid term investors IMO

its some people on s bet and cfd s/loss been hit in some stocks . so they took weak holders out in some stocks. like afr. hawk, hoil. sfr, wkp .

[goofball25] 14/5/2009 10:28

treeshake, it stopped me out at 72p for a loss

[stockadoodle] 14/5/2009 10:03

Good time for a top up then?

[waxmelter] 14/5/2009 10:00

My suggestion is that Boot is slightly behind other builders and they were all down yesterday. Why sell today when the record date for the dividend is tomorrow?

[stockadoodle] 14/5/2009 09:46

Whats happpened here today??

Cant see any bad news re this one so whats with the sp?

Am I missing something obvious.. LOL

[stockadoodle] 12/5/2009 10:01

Anyone know what the div value is tmr? Edit (Just found out 3.75p - very nice 4% on current price)

The directors have been very busy in the last week with sharebuying I see

[jack armitage] 11/5/2009 15:38

just bought, his target is 120p.

[melody9999] 09/5/2009 19:49

I see Robbie Burns jumped in Friday which probably explains the increase in interest. The more the merrier!

[cockneyrebel] 08/5/2009 19:43

AGM in a fortnight.

[melody9999] 08/5/2009 16:28

Well nipped in for a few in the nick of time. 3.5p divi in a weeks time as well. Happy days!

[sportbilly1976] 28/4/2009 11:32

good breakout and then retest the resistance as support...

[cockneyrebel] 28/4/2009 11:21

Very quiet on here, most obviously missed that 2m shares traded last week at the ask nearly (22nd). That was over 1% of the company nearly.

Interim Managemet Statement was on May 7th last year - 10 days off.

Chart looking nice here too.

[square1] 17/4/2009 10:46

Chart really does look very positive here

Some reasons to hang onto these shares in today's results. I looked through them very quickly. Dividend maintained. Good land bank. Net debt under control. However no one knows how long the recession will last.

[paul p] 23/1/2009 11:27

The company is simply positioning and trying to stay healthy in these dark days. Good management if you ask me.

[dcomd99] 23/1/2009 08:01

reduction in debt
increase of NAV expected

Good result, IMO

[paul p] 07/1/2009 20:55

Wipe the cobwebs away, something is a stirring.

From yesterday's statement:

"In this uncertain environment where debt is no longer readily available and effective total borrowing costs are still high, despite the recent falls in Base Rates, we are being very selective in the acquisition of opportunities and the authorisation of capital for property developments. However, there are a significant number of interesting prospects arising as a result of the aforementioned turmoil and we continue to invest where we are able to identify the opportunity to achieve excellent long term returns."

A realistic statement. I think this company has taken the measure of the crisis. "turmoil". Yes indeed. As long as they know.

Half year results (28th August) look OK to me. Anyone putting money into this company before the 3rd of October qualifies for the interim dividend which should just aobut cover the commission expenses.
