Which ever they do not seem to stop the upward movement.....

This could go a lot further in the coming months........

MPE and AEP flying today.
Alot of press about Palm Oil demand over the next few years.
Holding MPE and AEP wish I topped up on recent weakness.

Some largish trades for this stock going through today. Buys or sells?

[sheeneqa] 07/10/2005 16:02

May see this move up rapidly from now........


Lex: Palm oil
Published: October 6 2005 14:04 | Last updated: October 6 2005 14:04

Palm oil looks as sweet as sugar. The humble vegetable oil, beloved of Asian cooks and ecologically-minded Europeans, is in big demand. Procter & Gamble plans to use more in its shampoos and detergents, to reduce reliance on pricier crude oil. Malaysia, striving to cut its diesel subsidy bill, yesterday announced plans to pump palm oil into cars.


This looks like a fundamental change: half of Europe's rapeseed oil production, for example, is now used for biofuel. That in turn drives prices higher, as sugar traders know. With half of Brazil driving around on ethanol, a sugar-derived fuel, the price of sugar is at a seven-year high.

There are several reasons why palm oil may follow suit. Growing demand is unlikely to be matched by production increases, at least in the near-term. Plantations require a long lead time, about three and a half years, and are fairly capital-intensive.
Financial times........

Item on BBC Today prog this morning about palm oil plantations destroying the rain ofrest in Sumatra and threatening extinction to Oran-utangs. Impact on MPE? Anyway, share price seems to be stabilising.

[rambutan2] 05/8/2005 15:10

read today (in times i think) that brokers ambriam have done a note on the plantation sector - first one for years. they keen on prospects for palm oil.

[techtrend] 05/8/2005 13:55

Good progress recently... are we due some news?

[getscenic] 15/7/2005 23:07

and here is the reason:-

kulim ltd sold a large chunk , and flemings picked them up , plus a few more!
at least they are in safe hands, mercantile trust is a steady long termer.
should keep it above £2 anyway.

[tiredoldbroker] 15/7/2005 14:56

Golly, now 207p bid.

[tiredoldbroker] 14/7/2005 15:44

Well, today MPE breached the £2 barrier for the first time, currently 202-210. This is despite some weakness in the palm oil price, caused by lower short term demand from the Indian subcontinent.

GS:
Good to see you popping up here as well. Thanks for your informed views, I'll get some of these for my SIPP before the world clocks the Biodiesel aspect which hasn't come out in the MPE analysis I've seen

[getscenic] 21/6/2005 20:27

just read the agm statement, underlines what i've said. steady progress with eyes on the future, aiming to double the palm crop.

[shavian] 21/6/2005 14:31

Keen to buy in to MPE as I like the sound of the strategy. However, can anyone tell me:

- is palm oil a candidate for biodiesel?
- does MPE plan to diversify into a more biodiesel-friendly crop like Jatropha?
- how much damage was done to MPE's N Sumatran properties by the Tsunami?
- what's the level of local hostility from Aceh Liberation Front to MPE?

[rambutan2] 12/5/2005 21:39

tiredoldbroker, do you know anything about riverview rubber (rvw)?

[rambutan2] 12/5/2005 21:32

shares mag is the culprit.
its one of their plays of the week.
in partic they note the discount to nav, no debt, and good yield which should keep up with events.

[topvest] 12/5/2005 20:43

All doing very well. Nice yield as well.

[getscenic] 12/5/2005 15:22

nice rise off the back of these results. possible tip somewhere?

[sheeneqa] 10/5/2005 18:01

unfortunately my computer crashed completely and is still out of action........Will need more than Pandas Titanium now..........
I suspect I picked it up from a link I opened on this site, a particularly nasty virus..........

[bobdouthwaite] 08/5/2005 18:43

Sheeneqa
See post 748 on the FMJ board where Arthurly eradicated a new trojan (name not given) with Titanium software. You might want to post there if you're having problems?

[sheeneqa] 08/5/2005 13:22

Same reason as many other small caps, good and bad falling with the tide.....

Not a good time to be long in the Uk small cap market....

OT Anyone had any problems with a new trojan virus called warspy/newgenlook?
