I don't know about turning muck into money, this company is turning my money into muck!

I am with awe had a little bite on the back of the directors buys myself.
and another bite at 279 today.... the drop is partly the placing and partly
I suspect some positions being stopped out.

the directors MUST of known about the share placings surely? weird.
but then of course they bought at these levels anyway I have just realised!!

so fill your boots guys and gals :-)

This is pure bad luck. At these prices the predator(s) must be hoovering up the stock on the quiet.

Keep the faith, you still got a bargain yesterday. Good company, good management in a high focus, high demand area. Statutory pressure re sorting waste in the autumn that only a few like Biffa can offer.

This will either grow or be taken out, whatever the outcome you will make a profit

Sods Law!
Been there ,done that,got the T-shirt..

You got to laugh waited for ages then bought yesterday in a bit of bargain hunting and following the directors buys and then this happens next day!Maybe i`m unlucky or just bad judgement who knows!

Shares mag today;
Biffa vulnerable to takeover approach:
........"against the cloudy outlook,pre tax profit continues to advance,up 11% to £72.8m.
Takeover speculation triggered momentum in the stock following its demerger from Severn Trent last year.It is no surprise to see that a profit warning and the cautious tone of the results has dragged the shares back.
But this may also be the trigger for a predator to make a move while the chips are down."

Well i guess the directors didnt see that coming

8 millilons shares were dumped a moment ago. i don't think the share will recover quickly.

[jezboy1] 21/6/2007 09:41

[clusium] 21/6/2007 09:31

Yes - for 46pete's sake.

[werock] 21/6/2007 09:29

i think its nothing to do with shares. order book semms to have some problems handling transcations. not only biff, pfd also had some really strange things went on for a while. it's settled now i think.

[yewtrees] 18/6/2007 15:44

Daily Mail were also recommending Biffa as a buy.

[rogerl] 18/6/2007 09:05

The Telegraph article seems to have spurred the buyers, a very nice start to the week

[mitzis] 17/6/2007 11:16

Buy says the Telegraph.. fill ya boots..

[theband] 15/6/2007 17:30

Just found out where the rumour came from, it started at ultra and ended at violet, surely we don't need that, just gimmee the facts man, thats what i want.
Hi Wat, wonder if Beaudelaires back on board.

[retroz3] 15/6/2007 16:01

Good volume so far - is it shorters settling up or is someone stockpiling?

[seagreen] 15/6/2007 09:55

I can smell toasted shorter.......all the lemings have followed each other without studying the true nav........most amusing

[inv] 15/6/2007 09:21

very confident buying from directors. This will be back to 350p very soon

[ul7raviolet] 15/6/2007 09:10

where's there muck,there's brass.

[patricktrfc] 15/6/2007 09:07

Retroz , Doesn't matter where the rumours come from, just keep adding to them.
Might see 350 if you spread the word hard enough!
