Went XD on 7 May so not that.
Market makers working in their usual strange way - try buying - very rarely any stock available.

[crumppot] 18/5/2010 17:33

Any reason for the drop in price today?

[topvest] 28/4/2010 21:34

I'm happy to hold on a 6% yield and a discount.

[crumppot] 28/4/2010 17:20

Surely it would be better if they sold all the assets and returned the money to the shareholders.

[semper vigilans] 23/3/2010 08:36

Anyone thought that it would be much cheaper for parties setting up up a REIT fund to take over Highcroft even at full NAV rather than waste money on additional fees?

[topvest] 17/3/2010 19:54

Mostly the Kingerlee family members, who have been involved for a long time. There is also a large rebel holder (The Conn family), who have been adding and trying to get change.

[crumppot] 17/3/2010 16:40

Likewise. Do you know anything about the company? Who the directors are etc.

[topvest] 09/3/2010 21:43

Yes, good results. Bought a few more a while back. This is one that I'm comfortable to hold for the next decade or so, and with a 6.5% yield it's not like we are losing out!!

[semper vigilans] 09/3/2010 14:49

Decent results today, dividend good and NAV should still be creeping up since
31/12/09.

....and someone actually managed to buy some today!

[crumppot] 14/10/2008 10:06

They need the company to be taken over or buy in the shares

[pillion] 12/10/2008 14:48

Could be a long wait for recovery

Empty commercial property now attracts full council tax rates
Chart looks naff -- imho,dyor

[crumppot] 18/3/2008 09:56

Does anybody know anything about this situation? Tomorrow they are having their EGM it might an interesting place to be a fly on the wall!

[call-logger] 17/3/2008 17:45

Again, no, I'm afraid

[crumppot] 17/3/2008 17:43

can you say anything pertinent about the situation at all Call-logger? Does anybody know anything. It looks an interesting situation, perhaps the company will come into play with 2 rival factions.

[call-logger] 17/3/2008 17:40

I can confidently say "No" to that, crumppot

[crumppot] 17/3/2008 16:30

Is it likely the the motion will be passed? If the conn collective vote no again, the conversion may not happen and what will the board do then. It looks like they need to talk to their shareholders. It seems strange that not everybody thinks converting to a REIT is a good idea.

Call- Logger do you not anything about this comapny other than the published figures?

[call-logger] 15/3/2008 19:43

Why is Waht the problem?

[crumppot] 15/3/2008 19:30

I see the board are trying again. Do they have the support this time? Waht is the problem.

[crumppot] 07/1/2008 17:08

LOL

Why other than size would they have been unique? The profit on the shares would be taxed in the normal way. Do you know why the conn party rejected the move to a REIT?

("Highcroft Investments" or "the Company")

Result of EGM


"........Having previously encouraged the proposed conversion to a REIT Mr DG and MB Conn and Associates holding in aggregate approximately 18 per cent of the voting rights have voted against the resolution............"

Looks like they've conned the shareholders............lol!

Shame really as they would've been a unique REIT holding property and shares tax efficiently.

[crumppot] 02/1/2008 07:41

anybody know what why the REIT was blocked?
