No profit warning, that is the best part of the results.

From the spread appears that even the MMs are not sure which direction it will go (in fact even is now changed to 'Wait'!). I was expecting results today, there must be a reason for the delay. Perhaps now or after the result some director share buying will be good. Of course, a bid will be fantastic. Good luck all

Could we have a bid on the way, for part or all of the company.

Why you ramping it then john?

[granny7] 01/4/2008 09:18

X5jwa...Because you have brought at a price below the midprice,any buy's below mid show as a sell. Most of the buying since the last RNS have been below mid.

Parcelforce have already started marketing PX to it's existing customers. My company (existing Parcelforce customer) received a large sales pack on Tuesday with lots of info on ParcelXchange - though it doesn't mention Business Direct?

[granny7] 27/3/2008 12:19

Looks like anything over 1.35p is a buy. Seems a few have hope of sucess so could be life in the old dog yet.

[tenniselbow] 27/3/2008 12:07

Parcel Force agree they will run at a loss on this one

[granny7] 27/3/2008 11:54
