Banked profits

these were a bargain 2 years ago

gone the opposite way now

I'm certainly not going all gaga at the prospect of waiting until 2021 for the company to pay back it's current market cap in dividends. Lol

The directors are away with the fairies

Stunning results this morning.
It looks like "returning money to shareholders", will mean what is says.
2015 does seem a long time to wait though.

Property on the up (TRY, SHB, QED, CAPC) and yet no comment on the builders.

Is this the reason for BKG share price rise? (or rather one factort which means that sentiment is improving)

i'm keeping to my £18 price target. Don't see any reason not to.

[grigor] 11/5/2011 13:13

Nice steady rise since Dec 2010 / Other housebuilders also rising

[honiton] 10/5/2011 13:01

Shaftesbury doing well too, Honiton.

[honiton] 03/5/2011 14:54

I see this as a dependable share to hold for 2-3 years and sell when the next property boom starts to fizzle out. The focus on the south-east makes it very safe.

[honiton] 21/3/2011 08:17

I was being ironic. Sorry.

Its just no one ever seems to comment on it.

I have bought the shares in 3 chunks each time averaging upwards! Unlike the muppets who average down!!

[ssords] 20/3/2011 12:35

Honiton et al
How can you call this share boring. So no dividends, but down the years has made some terrific capital repayments.Plus look at its share price graph this last few years. It is just about the only profitable/solvent company in the private building sector with excellent cash resources and a large land bank plus its sector within the property building industry ensures a steady income stream. They are thus very well poised to take advantage of the upturn in the building industry which surely must come ere long. But DYOR.

[honiton] 08/3/2011 20:47
