The sale of which would not bode well, L & G have a duty to there clients to dump any blue chip that is about to get into trouble, i would not be surprised to see there holding reduced.

[psps] 05/10/2004 08:49

well L& G have 3.76% of BOOTS

?

not today you didnt, ill let this bounce run out of steam then ill open my short.

As far as a bid not this side of xmas, retailers are all itchy about current slowdown in high street spending, any would be bidder will want to see how the xmas period pans out, which i believe will be total and utter pants this year.

Boots valued at £5 bn - to drop from FTSE would need to be down at £1.9 bn roughly.....so not very likely in the near future....

[keifer derrin] 30/9/2004 12:23

Boots is currently is the 46 biggest company in the UK, according to the Busniness Section in the Observer, priced at about £4bn so why should it be removed from the FTSE. I feel that they are still on course to turn themselves around, but have just had a small slip up.

[psps] 30/9/2004 08:48

Is it time for BOOTS to get the BOOT from the FTSE as the shares keep falling

sales growth is slower
also they are selling eyecare and dentistry buseiness.

perhaps TESCO will launch a bid ??

shares reached a high of 740p a a low of 591p in the last 12 months
views please
