I miss old beaudelaire

[bountyhunter] 08/1/2007 09:36

yes always best to have a balanced portfolio!
this and NG. I consider to be low risk holdings for 2007, although the gains may be capped unless there is takeover activity (which is certainly a possibility imo)

[mitzis] 08/1/2007 09:24

Doing ok today bounty no worries here.

[bountyhunter] 04/1/2007 13:37

or just general market malaise

[patricktrfc] 04/1/2007 12:33

Added a few more today convinced myself they are still cheap compared to other waste cos.

[mitzis] 02/1/2007 19:07

No guarantees but you wont lose money on this one take my word.. all the best.

[bountyhunter] 02/1/2007 19:04

thanks mitzis, and also the FD should certainly have some idea of the prospects too, although I paid a little more than he did.
- good luck!

Great choice bounty I have a couple of mates who work for Biffa and they are delighted with the performance to date but then they own free shares in the company..!
A good takeover contender in the next years but a company in a growth sector.

mitzis - reinvestment of my 'safe' money from SPW today was either destined for NWG, SVT, or BIFF (I also want to retain some takeover potential)
- decided on BIFF in the end!

[mitzis] 02/1/2007 18:45

Hi bounty was about to say the same..been in since float and long termer for me just like Vpc.cheers.

[bountyhunter] 02/1/2007 17:18

switched into these from spw today - recent FD buying and Midas rec. are encouraging.
mitzis it's also encouraging to see you here, and Gateside hosting this thread

[watwungyi] 02/1/2007 11:37

Could anyone tell me when is the next TA?

[mitzis] 02/1/2007 09:18

Some interest this morning..

[watwungyi] 01/1/2007 21:50

Went ex-dividend last year 29th Dec. 2.1p off.

[hollington] 31/12/2006 11:25

How very nice!

[mitzis] 31/12/2006 10:51

Share of 2007 according to the Midas column.

[luderitz] 30/12/2006 21:16

Thanks wat.

[watwungyi] 28/12/2006 11:43

I think JP added. As I didn't seem them as major shareholders i.e. having interest in more than 3% before. Raising to 4% seems a lot. But one should be assured anyway that the company is up and running well for management bought a good slice of stock with market price recently. That means at least the company is not going into troubles in a year. If you look at its chief competitor, especially Veolia UK, then you'll see which one has which advantages in which areas. I am holding this for long. I try not to be influenced by institutions or experts. Amvescamp off-loaded all its Biff shares, but in a matter of days JP came on board. So who to believe if you are to be influenced by the institutions?

[luderitz] 22/12/2006 12:14

Can any shareholders answer the above please?

[luderitz] 19/12/2006 18:15

So have they added or offloaded some please?

[rogerl] 19/12/2006 16:51

asparks

You might well be right about ALK, but the risk profile is much greater than either BIFF or HSP.

[asparks] 19/12/2006 13:39

mitzis - HSP not bad, but I reckon Alkane (ALK) has better prospects. Not exactly energy from waste - but is energy from gas produced by old coal mines.

[mitzis] 19/12/2006 10:02

I second that roger I have a 50-50 split on them both but HSP is my favorite.

[rogerl] 18/12/2006 22:27

Anyone who likes Biff should take a look at Hargreaves services (HSP) another well managed company in a basic but necessary industry.
