nice rise, can't see bid coming yet but it will in time. happy to hold for div and eventually take out!

[nabeel4975] 05/1/2006 10:51

Bid is coming, More soon ...

[meshiey] 03/1/2006 13:14

not bad, nice rise and nice divi received today......

[nabeel4975] 03/1/2006 05:24

Thanks for that Ken.




I am confident the openning of the market will raise the prospects for UK Mail. I expect a slow rise in the share price from today as a result.

[ken50] 02/1/2006 23:42

Article in Times today mentions UK Mail as taking business customers from Royal Mail.
Nothing astounding but it shows an increasing interest in the deregulation process and the listed companies involved.

Fitton,

Thanks for that. I understand your concerns but after two profit warnings, they should all be in the "more than halved" share price by now (I hope!). The change in management is further evidence of the closer look the kanes must had which prompted me to buy (PS. I am already in profit ;-) but planning to hold long term).

Of course I could be completely wrong, but again maintaining the high dividend (6%) provided an incentive to my long term decision.

Best of luck.

Nebeel
If I where the Kane family I would take a very good look at what goes on at Business Post corporate depots and the way they treat the franchise depots.Fed Ex would be a good option and hopefully they would get rid of the rubbish that is running Business Post at the moment.Regardless of my strong opinion of Business Post the fact remains that all UK parcel delivery companies are struggling at the moment.Nebeel,I hope you make some money on Business Post but things could get a lot worse before they get better.

[nabeel4975] 20/12/2005 09:48

Fitton,

Do you know that the Kane family owns 62 per cent of the business, why would they put their money if they do not expect a good return?

As I said before:
"Resemblance with a share I have traded comes to mind. It just reminds me of the story of Easyjet (founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou owns 40%), it went down on profit warnings to 120P, yes that is £1.20 and everybody was rubbishing the company and the management, reputation, etc! A year later it is trading at £3.65 despite oil price pressure, etc.

Also the potential for bid (from Deutsche Post or FedEx) is huge and can materialise anyday, especially at this low price, although I doubt the Kanes will let go without a decent premium (say £5/share).

You are entitled to your opinion on the company, but I still find little reason to sell or short..

[fitton] 19/12/2005 16:21

What a micky mouse company!.Loads of cheifs doing there own thing.Disjointed management system.Customer service does not exist.Be very careful putting your money in to this one at the moment.The company is a complete shambles.By all means they should try to generate more money from there existing customers but they should try providing a decent service before they do it.Its a one way street.Business Post have a very poor reputation within the industry.I would expect another profit warning next year.

[nabeel4975] 19/12/2005 14:04

Been trying for a while but can not buy now for less than 345 for 2500 CFDs quote!

[nabeel4975] 19/12/2005 10:35

I have added a bit today on gut feeling it is heading up... If it does, that will make a very Merry Xmas indeed.

The Friday close was strange. large buys/sells keep going through.. Do not know what to make of it. I hope it is the 1st of Jan mentioned by Ken!

[blackday] 16/12/2005 22:53

nice close got a few shorters there-mgt catch out a few more expect breakout pre xmas

[loverat] 15/12/2005 20:35

Not looking good...

[ken50] 15/12/2005 20:33

The 1st of January is rapidly approaching when the long awaited open postal market will hopefully boost the shares of delivery companies.
I think the effect has been largely underplayed by the market and I will be holding for a more realistic valuation.

[buckymon] 15/12/2005 00:20

It is really ranging between 324 and 342 at the moment.

it will be a very bullish sign when it breakout the level 342 and we should go long when it comes weak again next session after the bullish sign.

the new support level will be at 316 pence if it breaks level 342-5 after the bullish sign.

[meshiey] 14/12/2005 17:03

looks like it's onwards and upwards from here then

[buckymon] 08/12/2005 22:37

Nabeel,

watch out for IOT lower end level. there could be some good profits in its reversal upward.

lower levels could be 366, 356 or 346 pence then reversal level to 460, 480, 500 or 520 pence in a very short time

[blackday] 07/12/2005 23:58

but its obviously going to breakout up baring in mind its goes up when it goes ex-div three days after one of the leading brass resigns. obviously thers big support at three pounds which under no cirumstances could be breached baring bad news or a disaster. Baring in mind you have a solid company fundemaentally that has halved in value on a fair pe with bags of potential and massively vunerable to takover/rumours id still say this is a massive buy. great one for isas. x

[nabeel4975] 07/12/2005 23:46

BUCKYMON,

Thank for the technical analysis, glad we have a chartist on board.

There have been buying pressure today which I hope will continue, I tried buying CFDs with CMC but was always requoted higher..

[blackday] 07/12/2005 23:28

bull-its so oversold- only a profits warning or loss of contract called cause a bottom range break. Lets say the odds are in favour of a short term rise. the share is ftse 250 and halved in 3mths. technically is a strong buy.(short and long term)

[buckymon] 07/12/2005 22:20

BPG share price is levelled between 280, 307, 335 and 380 pence at the moment.
two pence increases in first class Post stamps helped share price for both companies BPG AND DXS plus some talks about possibility of future bid talks for dxs or bpg.

SP COULD reach top/HIGH level 380 if share price breaks out the MEDIUM level AT 342p.
also share price could reach bottom / lowest level at 267 / 280 if it passes very support level at 297/298 p.

strong buy or hold, sell or wait can't be identified without the right confirmation for the share direction from the market's decision.

[she-ra] 07/12/2005 21:30

Can anyone tell me what would happen if they lost the FedEx contract?

[blackday] 07/12/2005 21:05

oh going up ex dividend- easy 10percent from here in not long time. strong buy
