nice spike, news leaking? Either way those shorters will be closing out.

[pictureframe] 23/8/2007 11:19

short term target 270-280 imho

[wad collector] 23/8/2007 11:15

It gives me a warm feeling.
Interesting that the FDs latest share purchase seems to have co-incided with the bottom of the recent price nadir.

[markinthepark] 23/8/2007 10:34

Feeling better today then? Is it time to break out the champers yet?

[mitzis] 23/8/2007 10:33

Good luck blue.

Yep I think long term BIFF has potential and you'll do OK. But i think your nerves and patience will be sorely tested along the way.

I do hold by the way. I've been in and out of the stock a few times. But my current buy is nursing a 10% loss. I probably won't sell, but I wont increase either, yet.

tongue in cheek

[another99] 23/8/2007 09:14

good point, nicely made conk :-)

i'm watching for a few more days.

[mitzis] 23/8/2007 09:11

I'm in at 222p this week a long termer for me.

[conk] 23/8/2007 09:10

not much happens on bank holidays 99

[another99] 23/8/2007 09:06

blue - i agree that BIFF is not a perfect pick, what with the P/E and being at the bottom of a long down-trend.

However there are good signs too, including director dealings and the yield is not too bad at 3.73%.

A decent rest of week and good start to monday may just signal the turn.

May be worth a punt i think.

[blueforce] 23/8/2007 09:01

There is still too much uncertainty in the markets which is likely to persist for some time yet. I saw one prediction from a respected TA and he believes the turning point for the ftse will be around 5500. Normally, during periods of uncertainty, there is a flight to quality (high yielding shares) and BIFF sure does not fall into that category yet. So more volatility ahead me thinks. BIFF could go sub £2 during all this.

MACD has crossed over, although it did the same early July and it went nowhere. Have to say, charts do look good but calling the bottom is easier said than done eh?

[mitzis] 23/8/2007 08:55

Not sure 99.

[another99] 23/8/2007 08:53

think this is turning then?

[mitzis] 23/8/2007 08:45

great start .

[blueforce] 22/8/2007 17:54

I see the BIFF stock on loan has dropped from c 7% to 6.4%, so shorting positions are being closed. Lets see were it goes from here

[awe430save132] 22/8/2007 13:11

Is it still blue Itchy?
Sure is Scratchy up about 5
Well i reckon we need to celebrate it being blue for half a day what do you reckon?
Sounds good to me Scratchy what do you want to do?
Push the boat Wetherspoons burger and a beer, haven`t it?
Too right!
From now on Itchy the worlds are lobster and we`ll have Biffa to thank for that!
Yeah Scratchy yeah too right!
Now where`s that visa card

shorter can only have a limited effect on the SP, if we see a sharp correction upwards with the Dow (I am sure there will be this week) then this will be moved upwards regardless. They will be scrambling to close out.

Either way I am happy to have an average of £2.19 and intend to hold for a year or two taking the divi as we go. ;0)
