Looks like there are buyers,bet COL would have bought it cheaper in 6 months time.
Perhaps there were others looking.

News today,

Office lettings in central London fell by almost a third over the past six month as companies scaled back staffing needs and froze office searches because of economic uncertainty

I dont like deals when the orginal owners are paid to stay,are they going to take the same salaries ?

[deswalker] 07/4/2008 06:38

Very disappointed in this deal. Why are they paying so much. Buying back shares would have been much more preferable IMO.

[cockneyrebel] 07/4/2008 06:21

Nice acquisition, PE even lower than 5 then :-)

In the west end too = commercial prop deals doing well there still.

All the trades at mid recently suggest a seller at this level but one that's not prepared top sell with the price much lower. Looks so much like someone selling for CGT reasons at the end of the financial year. There's been sell after sell without the price coming off too. The larger than average trades today smack of someone buying off a large seller by those paired trades showing imo.

Could get interesting over the coming weeks imo.

Increasing probability of a rate cut next week seems to be helping yield shares

[cockneyrebel] 04/4/2008 14:41

Moving up on the offer amd L2 - reckon a CGT seller has cleared off today hence all the large trades recently.

No seller about next week might see these firm up imo.

Firming today - goes ex divi in 3 weeks time for a divi of 3.45p (5%). I suspect we'll see divi chasers buying up to then.

CTG rallying on their results, business hardly in ruins!

COL pension fund buying says they are doing better than the market credits them imo.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 27/3/2008 20:57

Glad to see you - it's a lonely old place here - which is a good sign as it shows these are ignored imo.

The pension buying is good news however you look at it imo - either they are pensuioning very cheap stock or they are fending off a predator. So many of these cheap stocks are really exciting me - in a years time I reckon the excitement will be in hype mode again and all this cheap buying will look like a very shrewd investment point.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 27/3/2008 07:47

Pension fund buying more - they either see these a a steal or they are fending off a bid imo - either way these are going north imo

CR

[cockneyrebel] 26/3/2008 15:54

straight back up on the first sign of buyling lol - talking to myself but it's therapy! :-)

CR

[cockneyrebel] 26/3/2008 14:18

MM's taking the pi55 to get stock imo.

Mark down 3p on the bid, not the offer yet paying 1p over the bid for 10K - outrageous shake imo. I could have sold 5K online after the mark down with ease - never able to sell any when they are flush with stock.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 26/3/2008 12:21

Someone's buying cos the mm's are taking decent sells on the chin.

[cockneyrebel] 26/3/2008 08:35

SVS up again - COL has to motor at some point imo.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 25/3/2008 10:55

Seen Savills today? Up 14%.

Makes COL look more screaming cheap than ever imo. PE just 5 ! and a 5% final divi in April, 7.25% yield in total. Chuff me, where are the value hunters?

CR

[cockneyrebel] 21/3/2008 13:11

Yes, and the 3.45p divi on offer in April will attract buyers too imo.

CR

[kfp] 20/3/2008 21:16

Might put a bottom under the shares if they are happy to pay 70p.

Colliers CRE PLC

20 March 2008

Colliers CRE plc ("Colliers" or "the Company")

ESOP Share Purchase


Colliers was notified on 20th March 2008 that Barclays Private Bank & Trust (Isle of Man) Limited the trustee of the Company's Employee Share Ownership Plan ("the ESOP") has purchased 1,500,000 shares today at 70 pence per share. As a result the ESOP now has a total interest in the Company of 5,060,782 shares representing 10.97% of the Company's issued share capital. The issued shared capital currently stands at 46,116,050 shares.

The purchase provides two clear benefits. First, it will mitigate for shareholders the dilutive affect of options granted or to be granted in the Company's Nil Cost Option Scheme which on vesting would require the Company to issue new equity capital. Second, the Company will save the cost of the final dividend to be paid on 22 May 2008 (and all future dividends) in respect of the shares purchased as the ESOP trustee waives dividend entitlements under the trust deed for so long as it holds the shares.

---------------

Must have got that lot from someone. Personally it sounds half plausible reason for buying those shares - myself, I suspect they bought them before a bidder did so that any bidder never got as much leaverage over the company when bidding - if there's a bidder as seems likely.

CR

[kfp] 20/3/2008 18:14

Could be right,the stock must have come from a holder but did the potential bidder scoop them up ?
Intrigue for the weekend !!

[cockneyrebel] 20/3/2008 16:24

I reckon Black Rock have sold their holding to someone.
