In the Guardian Today

"Elsewhere waste management group Biffa jumped 16p to 335p - a 5% increase - after Goldman Sachs added the company to its conviction buy list with a 400p target.


"In our view Biffa's share price reflects only part of the value of its growth potential, and none of the value of potential consolidation in the sector," said Goldman. "We estimate consolidation synergies in line with other sector transactions could support a valuation of up to 440p, assuming they are all paid out by a potential buyer."

Shorters close your bets on pain of being burnt alive.

Can anyone explain to me the advantages of adding another broker please

Lots of good things said about the Sector.
Just need to wait for the Regulation to kick in next year.

I`m holding out for a good Buy price.

Investors Chronicle is positive in today`s issue.

I think it would take more bad news for BIFF to go below 300p but either way I don't expect it to stay there for long if it does. I would certainly buy more if it did as this share is as much of a no brainer in the medium to longer term than I can think of even excluding a bid approach which a significant fall would be certain to evoke.

[powerbook] 12/4/2007 10:58

No real objective, other than buy at 300p and sell at 350p. If it breaks out to new highs I'll buy back.

[ialwayswinatmonopoly] 12/4/2007 10:50

I think you will have your entry level within the next 3mths

I also think that if the R's falls out of the share price and goes anywhere near 250p then it will be primed for a bid. Although I don't think that it will or even should get to that level.

Anything between 310-300p is forseeable within the very near future in my opinion.

What's your long term objective?

[powerbook] 12/4/2007 09:47

I still think we'll go lower. I'm a buyer at 300p.

[ialwayswinatmonopoly] 12/4/2007 08:50

Oh, hello 310p wasn't expecting you for a few more weeks.

Price should bounce off 310p but it will be back very soon.

[ialwayswinatmonopoly] 11/4/2007 16:09

Well, this is unravelling out quite dramatically. The shorters are having their day today.

Double top formation shows that the short term objective is 310p (2-3wks).

[watwungyi] 11/4/2007 13:13

fair enough monopoly.

[ialwayswinatmonopoly] 11/4/2007 12:03

From my experience I can say with some confidence that the interim shareprice movement has nothing to do with the company performance or any other fundamentals.

Share prices move down after they have moved up. Sometimes share prices move up because they have moved down.

Despite any rationale share prices move in an uncanny predictable way. Formations show anticipated future moves. There is no reason for this other than perhaps that generally people commonly believe in emerging trend which then fuels the formation and ultimately the prediction.

Fundamentals are ok for long term trading. If a company is well placed in it's market and is managed well then it will outperform but this takes months if not years to emerge and to then be reflected in the share price.

On the other hand the behaviour of share prices and in particular graphs follow typical and predictable interim trends.

Go long on fundamentals and short on graphs.

[watwungyi] 10/4/2007 23:29

Some people seem to have prophetic vision. I have no idea how some people can claim the knolwedge that take-over would come after 12 months or why share price would be dragged down to certain point, and so on so fortth. If there is no growth, it is very good because less people will be tempted to jump in and start price war like techonlogy shares. All we need is steady growth, around 8%, I think it's feasible considering the growht of waste industry here.
But i have no idea where it will move next. TA is not upbeat and but it's been hit with 6% drop. Wouldn't it be enough?

[powerbook] 10/4/2007 13:06

I sold out after the profits RNS. I see 300p and possibly a 285p intraday spike. But I'm not shorting them. Good luck all.

[ialwayswinatmonopoly] 10/4/2007 13:00

Short Biffa @ 330p

Target price 285p within 12wks

Take over will come but not in next 12mths so your short position will be safe.

[luderitz] 05/4/2007 10:24

Indeed Keybox.

Good report in the Times today by Tempus, worth reading. Suggests selloff yesterday was a little overdone and that there is more value. Hold
