I'd say next level is 450p. It's going to be late December or early January to get there.

Did you manager to top up at 370p level since mid September?

[red square] 06/10/2004 12:42

Surprising that this stock gets so little interest on these boards, still.......

Now at 409p and still looks attractive on a valuation basis.

I remain a holder

Can anyone help me out as to how you value companies such as Brt? In the results the Company talks about different kinds of profits?

[hillbrown] 14/9/2004 16:39

I'm a bull of this stock from 278p upwards and its my largest single holding.
Feel sure its going to continue moving upwards in the med/long term but am concerned at lack of volume presently. I top sliced 12% today and would'nt be surprised if I buy them back at the 370p ish level. If they continue upwards, then so be it!

[red square] 13/9/2004 15:07

now 394 and looking very strong

[mark93] 08/9/2004 19:42

look out it,s a brakeout !!!!

[jelenko] 16/8/2004 14:03

I have a few policies with BRT. Strangely enough, about a year ago my door to door collector said that a group of South Africans had been touring the business. I wonder who that was ? I guess the rand has appreciated a fair bit over the last twelve months and therefore this may be the real deal.

Well what another lovely day!

Three in a row or a hat trick as us profs say.

Monday will bring even better 400p by the weeks end???????

Would be lovely jublly as my mate would say........

[verynervy] 28/7/2004 07:52

I WOULD HASARD A GUESS THAT ALL THIS BUYING SIGNIFIES A RUMOUR IS DOING THE ROUNDS OR SOMEONE REALLY KNOWS SOMETHING RE A TAKEOVER

[red square] 17/5/2004 16:16

[red square] 21/4/2004 15:19

Many thanks!

One more question: What do you make of the fact that the majority of the trades in the last few days have been automatic trades (AT)?

[edmundshaw] 16/4/2004 15:09

Well done.

In the end I decided to pick up some more Pilkington instead, due to the unfathomable drop there. Strange market in the last two days...

[red square] 16/4/2004 15:05

Well I added this afternoon at 327p

As ever dyor

[edmundshaw] 16/4/2004 13:29

I'd agree, red; on reflection I bought back a bit too early - forgot to make a large enough discount for the dividend.

Just waiting to see where the bottom may be... not sure if we've quite reached it yet. Don't see any fundamental reason for this to slip so far, as the stock market seems quite strong...

[red square] 16/4/2004 13:24

Back to BRT - the price keeps slipping - any thoughts from anyone?

My view is to add at these lower levels.

[edmundshaw] 16/4/2004 08:29

qm no, or there'd be a lost two days.

The record date decides who the divis are theoretically posted to. The ex div date decides who is due (and finally receives) the divi. Your broker will cope with any mismatch, ignore the record date.

"When the share goes ex div, any further buyers are not entitled to the next due dividend. The dividend is paid to those investors still on the share register on the record date - 2 days after the ex div date."

Does this mean that to entitle the dividend one needs to buy the share before ex-div (13 April at the latest in this case) AND hold until the record date i.e. 16 April?

[rlsmarvel] 15/4/2004 23:10

Cheers red square
So could the price fall this week have been exagerated by the mms who anticipate that after the 16th, there could be a sell off by those who have bagged the dividend for MAy?

[red square] 15/4/2004 15:27

correct rlsmarvel - don't worry about being slow ;)

[rlsmarvel] 15/4/2004 14:15

So, as I held my shares before yesterday, I'm not excluded. and if I still hold shares at close of play tomorrow, then I'll qualify for a dividend on 7th May? Even if I sell my shares next week?
(sorry if I'm being slow here!)

Related businesses also suffered yesterday (e.g. Friends Provident FP.), so I'm not worried.
Does the talk about XD mean that buying shares now is too late regarding dividend to be paid on 7th May? ie When a share goes XD, it means the list of shareholders to be paid the next dividend has already been prepared? And if you are on that list, but sell your shares before the dividend payment date, do you still get the dividend?

[red square] 15/4/2004 09:21

Nice to see other interest in this stock!

I was a bit baffled by the performance of BRT yesterday, perhaps investors were switching out of BRT into LGEN? Doesn't make sense to me, I am tempted to add at these levels but have to sell something else first as am fully invested.
