Very high volume in the options expiry auction today, 2,385,606 UT @ 263.

Trend is up and just 6p short of the ATH intraday @ 269.4.

Aye, 5 weeks to results should see it there if the market is positive.

Today is 30 days after the 11 January market peak and any investor who sold then may buy back from tomorrow to avoid the 30 day CGT rule.

GFS however peaked on 5 January so I think the buying here started a little earlier, witness the low of 5 February.

Pushing up through the 50MA now and have upped my target to 281.

Hi eipgam, yes the market looks a bit ahead of itself.
Have put in a few profit slicing orders in case it spikes higher tomorrow.

[enami] 04/1/2010 10:34

Good start to the year, initial target 277. Wave 5 target 284.
I wonder if these airport body scanner requirements will have an effect.

This is the only share in my portfolio making new ATHs recently.

Up again today and I have increased my Target Price Range: 275.00 - 279.00.

Their cash will be in the bank, not in the back of a van.... but it is, without wishing to sound patronising, a bad bad world out there. Try sweet talking your account manager, they may be able to help...

When I was a supplier to Clinton Cards, the terms were 60 days e.o.m., but around half the invoices wouldn't be reconciled in time for the cheque run, so they would be paid 90 days eom. Funnily enough, the credit notes were all reconciled within 30 days and taken straightaway!! But we, as you, had a choice... deal with it if you want to deal with them.

[analyzer] 16/12/2009 11:37

I have just found how they are paying for all their aquisitions ... NOT PAYING any suppliers until the end of January 2010 !! We are a small company owed only £1600 !! Makes you wonder if all the cash they are carrying around over Christmas is secure !! Maybe time when another embarrassing "biggest raid ever" will take place !!

[enami] 30/11/2009 17:56

I guess they are picking up all the small operators that are falling into difficulty in these difficult times.

Another acquisition this week and holding up well in today's bad market.

[eipgam] 22/11/2009 11:59

Welcome back... I missed that announcement as well, dunno how though because I do check... must need my eyes checked.

That's a pretty modest profit target Enami, although if one could do it every week, one would be considerably richer!

[enami] 20/11/2009 11:23

I missed the fact that there was an acquistion on Tuesday.
Bought back in at 245 target 263-267.
