[currypasty] 07/8/2007 13:38

all buys today, albeit small packets

[currypasty] 07/8/2007 09:23

thanks cwa1, ill buy it this weekend, just in case !

he was also looking at another of my stocks nighthawk, for his portfolio. if he didnt buy when he first mentioned it, now would be a good time, seems cheap at 44p for a medium term hold.


seymour pierce on the offer this morning at 7.25


my feeling is that the share has always been a bit illiquid, most holders like me just sitting on the shares, knowing something will happen one day. I think once the placing happens, and then consolidation, i bet there will be far greater liquidity, and a better NMS and spread from the MM's.

Morning

He writes in The Independent CP

[best mook in town] 07/8/2007 09:15

[currypasty] 07/8/2007 09:05

I also think the reporter derek pain has these in his 'no pain no gain' portfolio

cant remember which newspaper his column is in though

[diamond1] 07/8/2007 08:02

I wonder what this morning will bring?

Moneyweek reccomended these about 12 months ago as the best available "Shell" so they may do an update on Friday. Let's hope so.

[currypasty] 06/8/2007 14:05

7.0 - 8.5 wide spread, and winterfloods ticked up momentarily... probably havent got much stock..

[richtea120] 06/8/2007 13:58

Another 5% and we will be in the top 3 risers fingers crossed ...........

[currypasty] 06/8/2007 11:35

7.0 - 7.5 market slooooowwwly getting there

[currypasty] 06/8/2007 10:56

Institutions, and directors...

"In addition, David Page and Paul Campbell are subscribing for 1,600,000 Placing Shares each at the Placing Price"

[currypasty] 06/8/2007 10:53

institutional placing price 7.5p, my guess is market price should be 8-9p today, on no further news... once shares are listed, and deal proceeds, i would hope for a re-rating based on the new company forecasts

[diamond1] 06/8/2007 10:46

Happy er! Looking good. Could be veryyyyyyy good.

[currypasty] 06/8/2007 10:16

7.5p ASK... happy now ?

i am, bought a few more under placing price...lol

[currypasty] 06/8/2007 08:46

market not woken up yet !


69 mil shares in issue, placing another 341 mil shares ... thats quite alot of support from institutions.. the story must be good !

[diamond1] 06/8/2007 08:29

Are we finally going to "Wake up and smell the coffee." It's been a long wait but maybe it will be worth it. Can't understand why the share price is so far below the placing price though. Any thoughts?

[currypasty] 06/8/2007 08:08

still cheaper than the placing price... but not for long ?
