Lord Gnome - you are right! When the shorter got it all at the moment, I regard this as a buying opportunity.

Peel Hunt downgrade today hasn't helped matters. Target price is 225p.

[jaf1948] 24/1/2017 15:54

Is there anything we can do about it ?

[lord gnome] 24/1/2017 14:12

Making new lows. Looks like the shorters have got this by the balls.

[kcsham] 24/1/2017 13:14

I bought in again at 230.5 I still believe Carillion is a good buy at this price even the shorters' bet increase to 21.1% to date.

It would be ironic, if BBY launched a counter-bid, after CLLN attempted takeover of them. Just idle thought, not suggesting it will happen.

Others in construction/ support services seem down as well. MU

220p anybody? It's like water torture!

[m4rtinu] 20/1/2017 09:10

Hopefully a bottom and not a plateau before another move down.

[lab305] 19/1/2017 21:15

Only 350p. They would snap it up with a pe under 12 at that price. It just shows how cheap this compay is !!!

[rcturner2] 19/1/2017 15:10

It's what is called "fake news".

[jaf1948] 19/1/2017 14:19

Any evidence for that or is it just wishful thinking ?

[ny boy] 19/1/2017 12:59

Overseas predator target, potential bidder to pay over 350p. Dyor as usual

I subscribe to the IC and it is a very good magazine. You have to ignore the tips though as they are just froth no different from the racing tips. The strength is actually the amount of information in each issue, they have very good coverage of company results and investment trusts for example. Also their economics and longer term macro coverage I find very useful.

IC has multiple articles each issue, written by correspondents who can only give superficial attention to detail. Their job is to fill up column inches and get the punters interested enough to buy the next issue.

Once attended a company lunch with a chap who became Lex editor-in-chief. He asked next to no questions at all, I had to drive the entire meeting to keep it going. Never wanted to look at Lex again, which probably has a maximum contributor age of 26!

Another ex-Lex editor, Hugo Dixon, spearheading the campaign to stop Brexit. Zzzz..

[bookbroker] 18/1/2017 10:07

IC. just another opinion, you makes ur own in this world, it offers a contrarian view, about it, never taken any of it literally, the Lex column in the FT. About as good and honest an opinion you will get these days!

[lord gnome] 18/1/2017 09:49

Bearbull isn't the column it used too be. The current Bearbull isn't the best there has ever been to say the very least. I can't fathom some of the reasoning or the choice of stocks. It's a column of waffle.
Whilst I'm on the subject, IC columnist John Rosier isn't the greatest stock picker either. His real life portfolio is an eclectic collection of odds and ends. No wonder he had a poor 2016.
Rant over. I still find IC useful as a weekly digest of stock market matters.

[spoole5] 17/1/2017 18:14

A sure sign it's set to rise then!!

FWIW Mr Bearbull (Investors Chronicle) has finally called time on his CLLN holding in his income portfolio...

"With that in mind, my first task of 2017 has been to sell the portfolio's holding in construction-services group Carillion (CLLN) - see Bearbull 7 October 2016. The share price - at 237p - is below its stop-loss level and the disposal frees up some capital to go searching for something new in these inflated markets."

The link to his 7 October 2016 article referred to above is

I feel great about this share as it give me small profit for my small holding at the moment. I believe it will give me more profit in due course together with handsome dividend payouts down the line.

[wad collector] 17/1/2017 12:38

I was just thinking this was a mature polite debate.....

[neilyb675] 17/1/2017 11:37

Yeah, it's boring
