Trading update Monday, may have to get totally legless over weekend so as not to think about what news it could contain, although must assume any bad news is already in the price. Having bought at 2.95 my nerves are more taught than Inspector Clouseaus boss when he chops his finger off.

Well 2.12.75 looks good buying now.

Good luck to all the longs and shorts.

If we get a stable trading statement in a few days this will move up.

[ideal420] 26/9/2007 00:23

shorters can burn in hell!

(I shorted this too, haven't done so since 280-260, been long since).

[powerbook] 25/9/2007 17:02

i'm also still short

[volvo] 25/9/2007 16:23

The FT 250takes another large loss and is about 8pc down on the year.Down about 2pc today.The Ft100 grabs the headlines while the 2nd string are being taken apart.Happy to buy more and hold here good defensive stock.

[jezboy1] 25/9/2007 14:51

*&*&^&^%&*%^!! just missed an order at 210.75

[jezboy1] 25/9/2007 13:50

well I went short Shanks, like I said I would and just closed it nicely.

so I actually want this to come down even cheaper please :-p

but I think you got the price of the day Volvo.

[volvo] 25/9/2007 13:46

Now fully loaded.Never thought 2.12.75p would appear.The company should produce a stable trading statement but with good growth propects.Very cheap now for a national necessisty.

[markinthepark] 25/9/2007 13:45

Well if it goes back to it's recent highs of £2.50+ I won't be complaining.....but somehow I doubt if it will be allowed.....

[jezboy1] 25/9/2007 13:43

this has hit exactly the same low - twice in a row 211.75. Coincidence? Doubt it.

[markinthepark] 25/9/2007 13:42

That begs the question as to why this was ever valued higher than £2, why the likes of the Daily Telegraph say this is cheap and why 2 senior directors bought these recently......

[jezboy1] 25/9/2007 13:41

look at the volumes guys - this is a classic shakedown.

[simon gordon] 25/9/2007 13:33

Dividend yield is improving but still not high enough for such a stodgy business.

Good fortune!
