jonwood I dislike such posts - no doubt you get a few pence from eaach click thro but it is against the spirit of the bb's. If you have something to say about CLDN say it. Personally I think the results are pretty good and it is a benchmark for me to try to beat.

hello I wanted to tell you about a chap I have come across who the last few times he has had an opinion on CLDN has got it right - very right and taken a lot of money out (the last time I followed what he did on this was one of the best (and simple ideas!) I have followed and I was truly rewarded) What I was going to do was paste a link to his site but rather than do that I will post a link to a web site I created and hit on the link in the middle (Sack the Tax Man) go to the site and have a look at his past results. You don't know me from adam but I can tell you that he is good at what he does and when he makes mistakes - he does not hide them http://www.webspawner.com/users/jonjwood/

RNS Number:6265E Caledonia Investments PLC 29 October 2004 Listing on the New Zealand Exchange Caledonia Investments plc ("Caledonia") announces that the New Zealand Exchange ("NZX") has approved the listing of its ordinary shares, as an overseas listed issuer, with effect from 1 November 2004. This will enable investors in New Zealand to buy and sell Caledonia's ordinary shares through NZX at a price quoted in New Zealand dollars. Caledonia's listing on the London Stock Exchange will be unaffected by the above. Commenting on the announcement, Tim Ingram, Caledonia's Chief Executive, said: "We are very pleased to have achieved a listing in New Zealand, which is a further step in our efforts to market Caledonia more actively to retail investors." Mark Weldon, CEO of the New Zealand Exchange Limited, added: "We are delighted that Caledonia has decided to list on the New Zealand Exchange, taking the total number of UK domiciled investment trusts listed in New Zealand to 15. NZX's goal is to make it simpler for New Zealanders to invest in shares.

Anyone have any news on this super trend which resulted in chart breakout today?

[cg1953] 10/7/2003 13:31

given that a significant number of dissident family shareholders both in and thru the 'cayzer trust' still want cldn liquidated. given also that they are advised by sir john craven who is/was probably the foremost 'financial' dealmaker in the city in the 80's and 90's. looks as though this one is going to move ahead. i fancy that we are looking at something in excess of 10-00 per share once the true value of the 'unquoted' assets are realized. then again, maybe 'close bros'[cbg] may devise a deal that suits all parties ???

[mulligatawny] 26/4/2003 20:06

Is this a short candidate again from this heady height ??

[arichard] 22/4/2003 10:58

[bpmpl] 29/11/2002 11:10

This very well respected and run multi investor is still at a discount to the sector it is converting to next February has a good yield and more upwards to run.

Having had a shareholding for many years a similar stock to my mind is better value El ORA MINING [eom].

anyone notice the firework display earlier, the offer price shot up very briefly, the ADVFN "Curr" column was showing +135 for a few seconds, the high for the day is at 737.5, current offer 605 No out of the ordinary trades showing

[alexx] 18/9/2002 09:56

4 year low now, a big drop today

[alexx] 05/9/2002 14:58

Short CLDN @ 6.45 Its biggest holdings RAT & CBG have tanked in last few days RAT report tommorow and is expected to p/w. Chart speaks for itself. Spread is not friendly. .

Each day I consider covering and each day it drops on virtually no volume. Looking for 640 (very) short term, the market makers clearly do not want any stock, the jostling to get out of the way of sales is great fun to watch!

[tricky] 16/7/2002 00:54

Appreciate your views Vern, I think the funny's will out in the end though

[tricky] 15/7/2002 16:47

See RNS today, the company are desperate to support the price. In the last report the chairman says "we do not envisage being able to buy in many more shares" and yet they buy 305 000 today??????
