Breakout - in style!

[neilavery] 01/12/2005 17:11

In excess of 500,000 shares bought after hours today

[umair] 19/11/2005 01:12

Lets hope so. This thing used to go up 2-3% a week, regular as clockwork. Looking positive as far as I can see.

Could be a move to 23.5 euro in progress.

[neilavery] 07/11/2005 09:06

hi umair - you obviously took over whilst I was on holiday. I got fed up with talking to myself as well! I think things look good for the future but am a bit concerned with the position of the share price at present. I would like to see it go back above 22 euros, else it looks like an extended head and shoulders. At present, point and figure is predicting a price in the 18 euro area, and that prediction will remain until the share price goes over 23.5.

ISEQ up as CRH acquisition boosts

17:45 01/11/2005

(BizWorld)

The Dublin market rallied for the third straight day today with builders reaping the benefits of a building boom at home and abroad and CRH gaining from its latest acquisitions.

At the closing bell, the ISEQ index of Irish shares was up 69.95 points to 6,646.18.

The construction sector powered ahead today following news of a massive E34.4bn Government spending plan on infrastructure and transport over the next ten years that will include a Metro to Dublin Airport, extension of the Luas to Bray and the doubling of roads expenditure around the country.

Shares in sector leader and Ireland's largest company, CRH, soared by 3.31pc or 69c to 2154 on news that it has expanded its material business in the US with the completion of three transactions. The three deals are worth a total USD413m (E344m) comprises cash, including debt assumed, of USD361m (E301m), plus deferred payments with a net present cost of USD52m (E43m). Further reports from the US showing another rise in construction spending in October also boosted the shares.

CRH EBITA forecast caut by Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs cuts CRH (CRH.DB) EBITA forecast for 2005 to EUR1.321 billion from EUR1.361 billion, partly to reflect a drop in forecast for 2005 acquisition spend from EUR1.2 billion to EUR870 million. GS says strategy is now "one of organic growth rather than CRH's usual "'kick' from acquisitions." Has EUR21.80 fair value and in-line/attractive rating. Shares -1.4% at EUR21.2.

From here:

What's driving ths lower... Can't just be SAYE share schemes ?

I got out around 22.5 but am looking to get back in at these levels.

[neilavery] 13/10/2005 14:49

They must have given a really impressive investor presentation!!!!!

[bedlamsbottom] 06/10/2005 07:23

mmmm....another saye share scheme about to mature from yr 2000

[neilavery] 04/10/2005 17:33

A very nice 'W' has formed on the chart, following three good days rises.

[neilavery] 03/10/2005 16:39

Two good days in a row (just in case anyone else is reading this)! Will there be pressure from the downtrend that we've just reached, at about 22.8 euros?

[neilavery] 23/9/2005 17:05

The bounce seems to have occured at about 21.5 euros. Let's hope this is a double bottom!

[neilavery] 20/9/2005 19:46

Oh dear! Another drift down to the 22 euro position. Will support hold?

[neilavery] 19/9/2005 18:14

Nice to see some blue today. Three bounces off the 22 euro area in the last 4 days. Lets hope we now get another leg up. Good luck to all.

[umair] 25/7/2005 14:07

Back on track ! Also the EUR-GBP exchange rate is moving in the right direction for holders of Euro denominated assets.

[bedlamsbottom] 18/5/2005 16:08

there's the move I was waiting for...just before the certificates are issued..up by 4.4% today....much better

[bedlamsbottom] 29/4/2005 07:53

option certificates issued on Monday, current options available June 1st.

[cat100] 28/4/2005 08:19

15% pull back it could be time to buy....

[bedlamsbottom] 23/3/2005 07:46

the saye option buy price has recently been set, hence the end of the rise,there is normally a dip now between this and the current scheme maturing, and then it moves forward again...a bit like riding a surf!
