I should have known, I went to the demerger meeting.

I think today all shares are now called Vesuvius then a bit later they will demerge into an equal number of Vesuvius and Alent shares with the total of the the 2 share prices equal to the 642p ish

Can't find the epics, sorry

No posts for 2 weeks so I thought I'd report my non ability to buy shares for my Cksn div,

Selftrade won't do div auto re-invest so I just do a limit buy, this time 531.5 so of course the share price has shot up.

I daren't move my limit up in case the share price collapses, it's only for £300 odd worth of shares

Major warning.

The share price of CKSN was looking artificially elevated for some time.

Given how much historically the share price of CKSN had been moving in lockstep with the mining sector, it would not be surprising to see the share price now playing catch up with the lesser mining constituents with high exposure to China.

Prior to this announcement a P/e ratio of around 12 was looking a bit rich on negligible growth in year-on-year earnings and is now looking even richer on a potentially significant decline in EPS.

However, the stockmarket does favour certain shares and the share price is hesitating on a 61.8% retracement of the entire move up from October 2011 to April 2012. Will be interesting to see the near term outcome of technicals over fundamentals.

Perhaps of even more over-riding concern is the elevated state of the FTSE250 and its potential for a significant retracement. It is not impossible for the FTSE250 to break out into new all time highs but I do have doubts. The more forthcoming of fund managers are reporting net selling as investors scale back their exposure to equities, whilst the less forthcoming and perhaps less scrupulous are encouraging investors to go overweight equities as an asset class.

Down another 2.75% today to 562p, it was 750p in April.

I just looked at the shares in issue and it is 278 million so the new shares for executive share options is 0.75% more????

I can't see that small dilution making any difference to the share price, especially as the share option should incentivise the board to increase the share price

I have a £7k tax free lump sum from a personal pension I just took the annuity on, so I might put a limit buy in at 505p to see if I get a few more at a bargain price (I hope it would be a bargain price)

I've now done the limit buy

anyone got thoughts on Cksn share price next week, will talk of Hsbc re-locating back to Hong Kong show the future of industry and commerce is in China where Cksn get it's iron ore chemicals used more.

Against SP, is talk by China Premier saying China is going for smaller growth in the future and do more to address the disparity in Chinese peoples earnings (as being more important)

Cksn have had a really good run of late.

How will latest increase in deposit requirements in China (to damp down China's inflation and Property bubble) effect Cksn share price on Mon/Tue?

If China was to actually increase the bank interest rates in next couple of days would that really cause a big drop in Cksn?

World's biggest bank rights issue announced today, China Construction Bank, will this effect Cksn share price as China's economy seems to effect Cksn so much?

What a great thread this is, Bobsid and Matt giving two opposing views that give the rest of us different insides.

My hope for China is that the central gov will try to slow the economy to stop overheating (if only the UK had these problems) but only as long as growth continues to stop any unrest.

If China's growth is expected to be above 5% (pretty low by China's standards)Cksn share price should be very positive, but today looks a little worrying with the Ftse showing to be down 50 points

The Aus government has lowered the "super tax" on mining companies and the share price of miners are expected to shoot up today, is Cksn going to follow on their coattails or as usual is it in the price already?

Could we see a 10 to 15% jump in Cksn share price at 8am?????
