Fidelity selling their entire stake, I suspect ...

... but who's buying?

[handycam] 28/2/2006 20:27

9.6% of the company tipped out at 5 pps.

Barge-pole job, IMHO. Feel free to help yourself to as many shares as you like 8-)

justjim,

I'd be interested to understand why you think Goshawk is a good place to put your money.

GoshawK shareholders be afraid, be very afraid ....

"The action comes after yesterday's announcement by PXRE that it was increasing its estimates of the net pre-tax impact from hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma by between $281mn and $311mn. Combined with PXRE's existing estimates for 2005 storm losses, the reinsurer is now facing a pre-tax deficit of $743mn to $788mn from the hurricanes".

... more bad news to come?

[bonzaijim24] 14/2/2006 22:22

Do you know anything Randolph?

[randolph and mortime] 14/2/2006 20:31

It doesn't matter what you think. It only matters what you know!

[justjim37] 14/2/2006 13:17

Nice to see institutions substantially increasing their holdings.
Still think something is happening here.

[bonzaijim25] 10/2/2006 12:15

Not like Challenger I hope!

[justjim37] 10/2/2006 11:45

I agree, looks like it's going to rocket

[obarmoth] 10/2/2006 11:24

Something about to happen here. Wild and whacky trades both yesterday and this morning...

[effortless cool] 31/1/2006 21:48

Still not enough working capital ...
... still no news on fundraising.

Something's got to happen soon.

There is extraordinary liquidity in the market for what is now a very small cap share. Strong support at 5.5p, with some big shareholders seling out. Who's buying apart from Bear Sterns? Why are Artemis still there?

Keith Harris finally sells out

[knowing] 29/12/2005 10:22

No way.

Take a look at BED

MUNICH (AFX) - Muenchener Rueckversicherung AG said it now estimates
Hurricane Katrina alone caused insured losses of some 45 bln usd for the entire
sector.
It said however that natural catastrophes will continue to be insurable,
"assuming that prices and conditions keep pace with the increase in insured
risks."
"Munich Re is gearing its business more than ever to the new risk situation
and to these enormous potentials, as we recognise the additional business
opportunities they offer," management board member Torsten Jeworrek was quoted
as saying in a company statement.
"We will take advantage of the business opportunities but, in doing so, will
only accept risk-adequate prices and conditions," he added.
The company said even before Hurricane Katrina occurred, scientific studies
had led Munich Re to expect an elevated risk situation in the North Atlantic.
But Munich Re also now needs to adjust its risk model again, given the
exceptional losses from the tsunami-like storm surge along the coasts of
Louisiana and Mississippi as well as the leap in the price of construction
materials, wages for craftsmen and fees for loss surveyors.

Yes indeed. Four per cent tipped out before the year end. I can never understand how such a generous exit is always found in these situations. When we sold Independent four years' ago, we too found buyers. After that though, CSFB refused to deal with us!!
