Augean encouraged by market recovery signs

Yes; we knew the first half would be poor because of the very harsh winter.

But further out the potential is enormous.

And a takeover a very real possibility.

results out. Encouraging.

Just over six months after bid talks collapsed, waste management group Shanks was back in the takeover spotlight.

In March private equity group Carlyle abandoned a 120p a share offer for Shanks after the two sides failed to agree terms. Carlyle had already cut its offer price from 135p a share after Shanks issued a profit warning, blaming winter weather conditions for the slowdown. Earlier Shanks had indicated a price closer to 150p would be needed to win the day.

Today traders heard talk that Carlyle might be returning to the fray, and Shanks's shares climbed 6.7p to 110.2p valuing the company at almost £450m.

And we have a tick up on a 4k trade.

Can only imagine what a bit of volume would do.

These seem to be crawling up again, so bought a few more @ 29p.

AUG looks to be firming up.

Yes; it'll keep rising. Takeover very likely.

[half a scargill] 13/8/2010 08:25

Back in to the rising channel.

looks good for another leg up.

REH announcement late today worth a look.

[fillipe] 09/8/2010 11:55

By the way the price is going it must be a cheap bid....

Bid coming. Hang on.

[cerrito] 08/8/2010 18:29

not isable
interesting that the only other company in the waste sector SKS obviously much much bigger also had a midweek strength and a friday weakness
I am sure a coincidence

[rastapastamasta] 07/8/2010 13:45

Aye, b100dy Oirish.

2p premium just paid for 10k's worth.

Certainly some shenanigans afoot.

[half a scargill] 06/8/2010 11:18

All we need now are a few "1" trades going through, and we'll know teh grand wizard himself is topping up.

[half a scargill] 06/8/2010 10:52

Some interesting shenanigans being played here.

2 x late reported trades from 10:46 yesterday are showing on my monitor.

Guess what time today they knock the bid down..................bang on 10:46. Call me crazy, but anyone seeing that 27.75p sell trade on the monitor screen may be fooled into thinking it was a sell from today.

I think it's game on here. Someone is accumulating.

[half a scargill] 06/8/2010 08:14

And now we are getting some volume.

Something definately brewing here.

[half a scargill] 05/8/2010 19:50

Aye. Just hope a few have heeded my advice eh!

[wessie] 05/8/2010 16:19

Whoops! Something must be going on in the background?
