Has anyone read the share magazine article about Travis recently?

Hi Whizzy1
Visited Travis Perkins site at Aylesford, Kent for a couple of eye bolts.
Enormous expansion since I last visited a couple of years back. Now covers 100s of acres, busy site and a hive of activity. Looking good for the share price down the line. Regards

Cheers roddiemac, not trading here in for med term

supsapi,

If we were all able to answer that question , investing would be
too easy. I never invest in any company that does not seem to have
medium to long term potential. I have zero interest in trading, or
constantly checking share prices. The real money is always made
long term. My aim is to follow the story and judge the potential .
Short term price movements usually mean very little.---I think TPK
has good medium to long term potential.

How far will this go?

[wanttowin] 19/8/2014 09:19

yep looking good, steep bowl forming here.

[lenzcrafter] 19/8/2014 08:15

Break out?

[jlo10] 18/8/2014 22:32

Got a timescale for that prediction
And a reason?
Just interested

[matt] 14/8/2014 11:38

But when it pops it will likely fly.

[wanttowin] 12/8/2014 12:30

Just can't break £17 resistance

lenzcrafter,

This stock tends to rise and fall with the index, often in an exaggerated way.

[lenzcrafter] 11/8/2014 15:48

Any reason for the 2% rise? Good times. Bring on that for a few days.

UK housebuilding grew at its fastest rate in nearly 11 years in July, a survey suggests. Got to get those materials from somewhere :)

Hi Whiz
Good luck with TP and FCSS. Just my luck with BLNX. FP

[whizzy1] 04/8/2014 19:50

Thanks for the heads up Pop.
Going to stick with 40K in Travis & 52K in FCSS (China), I did have a quick look, but your recommend closed 3.7% down at just over 32p bud! At least both TP and Fidelity are climbing now! I'm looking for £20 here.

[fizzypop] 02/8/2014 20:20

Whiz, have a look at BLNX, managed to trade between 33-37p on several occasions making 6-10% over a 3-5day period each time. Not quite KENZ but AIM, volatile, spread as little as 0.25p, several million shares traded per day, can be fast moving on the upside. GL.

nice entry price supasapi..good luck

[supasapi] 01/8/2014 15:09

got in at 1649.... good luck to all and me

[whizzy1] 31/7/2014 12:07

Fizz, I've never recommended at stock before 'however' I've been in and out of China for at least 4 years, really struggled with it, made 'nothing' in 4 years, lol, anyway, it looks like things are on the up at long last, new CEO Ect so go look at FCSS read up everything you can find on them, but don't buy them lol.
Good luck Mr Pop.
P.S
There no way I can't ramp the stock, me and my 50K will have zero impact om a 700 million M Cap stock ok?
Sorry for off topic.

[fizzypop] 30/7/2014 19:17

Well spotted Whizzy1. Nothing like research at ground level.
I am doing very well on PLUS. Regards

[whizzy1] 30/7/2014 17:07

I was hoping for a 5% rise today, got to 3.5%, then pulled back a tad, still, at least TP have turned a corner and hopefully carry on into a bull market up to Christmas.

Travis Perkins* (TPK-LON, 1,645p, Buy) has today released a positive set of interim results, driven by a combination of improving market conditions, increasing customer confidence and the successful introduction of a number of self-help initiatives. Trading is consistent with management expectations and the group remains well placed to benefit from ongoing growth in UK housing and construction in 2014. As a result, we expect upgrades to forecasts as we go through the year, and remain buyers of the shares.
