Is the chart showing a double top or a double bottom? Or are we getting converging lines which will lead to a break-out?

Let me guess big drop just to get some big buyers and back to where we were a month ago...

[peter27] 01/2/2013 15:51

They are just regaining where they were beforethe placing - as I predicted! I got the direction right - if not the timing. dyor

[peaeff] 01/2/2013 15:33

I can only guess the rise is due to the 162 shares bought on behalf of Director Valentino for his pension. LOL

[trekker60] 01/2/2013 11:24

Maybe a bit of new interest today ahead of 2012 results statement due Feb 26?

[gardenarc] 01/2/2013 11:05

Waiting for news..

[sonigill] 30/1/2013 21:13

The market as a whole seems to be increasing, however, ELM is staying around 212. I wonder if there is bad news on the way? To me ELM still looks like a good long term prospect.

[peter27] 26/1/2013 12:38

If they go up to 240, by definition - yes.
If they go down to 180, by definition - no.
Get out the crystal ball and let me know.

[sonigill] 25/1/2013 18:27

Does this mean this is a good time to buy before a rise back to 240?

[peter27] 23/1/2013 07:56

because of the size of the sale. Imagine wholesale instead of retail. Also they want to make certain of the deal. Ity's done all the time between institutions.

[samenic] 22/1/2013 20:27

Why should they offer a discount if they are cash rich?

[peter27] 22/1/2013 18:48

If the company sold them there would have to be an announcement so they have undoubtedly been sold by an institution to others - probably existing shareholders. A discount would be quite normal and the price will follow it. I suspect they will be up first thing tomorrow so a buying opportunity may have been lost.

Why would a £1bn company raise £22m?

[samenic] 22/1/2013 17:57

So why the need for extra funds,this is a real cash generative business??

[alipatton] 22/1/2013 17:12

Anyone got any thoughts on the drop at 2pm. I don't have level 2 but it presumably was an institutional sale?

[silver sox] 22/1/2013 17:11

Dow Jones newswire reports Bank of America - Merrill Lynch acting as sole bookrunner in the placing of 11.4m ELM shares at 210p today.

[silver sox] 16/1/2013 12:18

Peaeff - I found the downgrade on Dow Jones newswire but it didn't go into any
detail as to their reason for starting at underperform. I suppose with no substance only time will tell but I agree entirely with your sentiments.

[peter27] 16/1/2013 11:26

If they go down much more I'll buying (for the long term)

[peaeff] 16/1/2013 10:32

SS

thanks for that, but it does give the impression that they are rather 'insider'
knowledgable as to what the final results may contain. It will be interesting to note if that is the case, although I would never bet on it. I sometimes wonder if some of these 'price forecasts' are based on much at all.

Morning Peaeff - looks like dip caused by Bank of America-Merrill Lynch starting
Elm at underperform and cutting european industrial gas sector to underperform.

[peaeff] 15/1/2013 10:25

Not a lot of action on here recently so I will say happy new year to all who remain in the wings.

Bit of a dip this morning which I expect is being caused by some institution either selling or wishing to accumulate at the right price.

Synthomer (ex YULC same sector) reported today and expect everything to be in line, so that shouldn't have had any adverse effect.

regards

Any one with access?

[peaeff] 06/12/2012 16:23

Very strong move today and I just wonder how much of it may be due to the promised 'special dividend' and can we achieve a new high prior to end of year.
