How much of that gap to 600p will it recover as the results approach and shorts close?

It is starting to gather momentum.

[markie7] 22/7/2010 10:24

this stock is nuts. Results 4 Aug. Large recent fall. No reason for it. Good results from GKN yesterday. OUGHT to be dynamite.

[qs9] 22/7/2010 10:01

Nice move into the blue again

[qs9] 21/7/2010 17:36

Looks like good support again today, no reason IMO this can't break through a fiver again in short order before the results. Last results saw them up above £6 with upped TP and earnings upgrades....outlook will be all important....

[restassured] 21/7/2010 15:19

On the way back towards 600p results August 4th, 11 days time

[restassured] 21/7/2010 10:58

Today's the day!

[restassured] 21/7/2010 10:42

Will GKN be the catalyst for shorts to close?

[restassured] 21/7/2010 10:34

Very strong numbers out of GKN today.

Cookson report in 14 days.

Meanwhile Credit Suisse noted:

We believe there is positive read across from the bid for Tomkins to Smiths Group, which we think is a potential seller of assets on a two-year view. We also highlight Cookson as potential read-across with stock trading at a very attractive valuation in our view.

[restassured] 20/7/2010 07:58

As expected Cookson tipped as takoever target.

[restassured] 19/7/2010 10:25

Market still asleep on this one.


A bid or we reach the 900p a share broker price target, which will come first?

[restassured] 19/7/2010 07:29

Tomkins in takeover talks.Another British co being snapped up on the cheap.

Cookson next?

[davidcod] 16/7/2010 14:13

Naked shorts?

[restassured] 16/7/2010 14:06

INVESTEC upgrade to buy 600p price target.


Those loan numbers are fraudulent.This stock has been heavily shorted.

[davidcod] 16/7/2010 13:09

Arbuthnot have downgraded to Neutral - target price 465p

[markie7] 16/7/2010 11:38

I'm back in these. cant beat a decent size summer spread bet. what has really changed since April? just looks over-sold don't you think?

[nellie1973] 16/7/2010 11:13

Tipped today in Independant

[darlocst] 16/7/2010 10:32

restassured - you seem to be obsessed with shorts. Only 4% of stock out on loan in June according to crest data, nothing exceptional.

[restassured] 16/7/2010 10:01

The big question is how close to the results do the shorts wait,until they close?


This has been massively shorted down from over 600p in the last few weeks.


When the shorts get squeezed,we could see a vicious rally

[qs9] 15/7/2010 17:03

Great find thanks, agree with the thought process, 4th Aug will be catalyst for futher move NOrth IMO....and hopefully it can then sustain a move above £5 at least.

07/15/2010 08:49:41 - MARKET TALK: Investec Upgrades Cookson Group to Buy From Hold

0649 GMT [Dow Jones] Investec upgrades Cookson Group (CKSN.LN) to buy from hold, ahead of its interim results on Aug. 4. Thinks Cookson has been oversold, and 2H '10E and FY '11E will be better than the stock market appears to be anticipating. Says, "the current US 2Q results season, followed by that of the UK, is arguably more important than the company's results as a barometer of global economic health and we think this should serve to reassure investors and see the shares go better." Meanwhile, expects the tone at the interim results will be cautious but broadly positive. Cuts price target to 600p from 620p. Shares closed at 432.3p. ([e-mail])

The shorts continue to close,could be back over 500p pronto.

[restassured] 08/7/2010 09:38

This stock has clearly been massively shorted.

We are a long way of the 921p price target.


Those shorts will have to close some day soon.


I expect to hear howling bears as they face the brunt of a bear squeeze.

[bob f2] 08/7/2010 08:28

Sid, I worry that the UK Gov (in private) would like a dose of inflation as it would help wipe out UK gov and personal debt (But also person savings, like the 70s)

The quantitative easing seems so far a free get out of jail card for the gov (and if by mistake it set off inflation, "Oh dear" they would say, it didn't
happen last time when Labour used it
