BUY recommendation in this weeks Shares Mag pages 26 and 27. They say considerable upside in the share price from current levels as a result of the growth expected over the coming years.GOG has done extremely well out of the Government Spending Review.

[trt] 03/11/2010 16:03

GOG went Ex dividend today hence the fall in the share price, should see a bounce back up tomorrow.

[trt] 26/10/2010 18:34

Plenty of broker upgrades today I see. Looks like £15+ very soon !!

Aye the spending review last week kicked it higher although in the IMS it says

"The Comprehensive Spending Review should have no direct impact on the Group in the current financial year"

Closed the big gap down from the June 24 trading Statement and broker downgrade, just coming up to the support/resistance level 1349. I was just hoping for 1352 Fib level, the next upside Fib target is 1529. Today's gap up from 1273 looks like a good downside target in the post XD scenario.

Enami - nice lift in the share price since 1100 and looks as if the divi will be maintained. Are you seeing further upside in the share price from the charts?

[enami] 26/10/2010 08:26

IMS seems to be well accepted.

This Week's Highlights
Bus Groups in Fast Lane after Spending Review

By Rory Gallivan, ShareCast Journalist

The Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) and the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) took centre stage this week, but there have been no major casualties in the equity markets, yet.


The most notable movement was among bus operators, which raced ahead after the government maintained bus subsidies. The subsidies paid to bus operators such as Stagecoach, Go-Ahead and National Express will be reduced by 20% by 2014. Investors had been fearing much bigger cuts. (Read more: Bus companies cheer continued subsidies)

Telegragh suggests the decline in the share price from £15 was due to the uncertainty in the run up to the Budget.

Now the Budget has been delivered and Go Ahead have come out of it extremely well perhaps the £15 share price will come round again very soon indeed - a nice 20% upside from current levels !!!

[trt] 21/10/2010 15:41

BUY recommendation in the Daily Telegragh after budget news !!!

[keran] 21/10/2010 09:04

Goods news then folks - topped up to enhance my forthcoming dividend

[trt] 20/10/2010 15:55

Hi Phil,

Yes I am well and I hope you are too.
Result of spending review has resulted in the rise across the board for transport companies - no bid IMHO

And we have got that huge dividend to come 30p per share in Nov - Fab !!!

[phil140158] 20/10/2010 15:51

trt - trust your well? Bit of action here today. I had heard that fare subsidies were to be cut in the spending review, but the Government were going to allow transport companies more freedom in setting fares. Is it just this or is Enami right?

[trt] 20/10/2010 15:40

The spending review is good news for transport companies - Go Ahead share price should make steady progress upwards over the coming days and weeks

[phillis] 20/10/2010 15:35

transport cuts=higher rail fares =switch to bus

[56richard] 20/10/2010 15:18

same at stagecoach

[enami] 20/10/2010 15:08

Up 8.5% and into auction at 1235p - bid rumour?

[enami] 20/10/2010 14:59

WOW this has taken off today, up 6%+ and no news or broker recs that I can see.

[trt] 18/10/2010 13:50

Well GOG is not a short term holding, I have had them tucked away for sometime paying me a great dividend every year - currently 7.2%.

[salpara111] 18/10/2010 10:17

seems to be wedded to the 1100 line.
I am guessing there there is little downside from here and the div looks nice.
May add some to my portfolio and see if we can get back to the 1500 area again.
The main thing that concerns me is a generic issue.....I feel that there may be a pullback in the market at large of 5-10% from current levels and if that is the case then it tends to pull everything back with it.

[trt] 12/10/2010 09:18

Last weeks Share Mag had an in depth article on Go Ahead and finished with a BUY recommendation due to the predicted increase in profits and excellent dividend yield being 7.2% ( can't get that sort of return in a savings account !!! )

Record date for dividend is 5th Nov, dividend of 30p payable 19th Nov

[phil140158] 13/9/2010 14:56

trt - I think you said it in your post 604 above. I think the dividend is safe despite the recent announcements. The brokers seem to be taking a more bullish view of the market for the last quarter. There was some mention of it in the Sundays.

[trt] 13/9/2010 13:41

Interesting to see what has caused the jump in share price this morning, must be more than just the broker upgrades - takeover rumours started again ??

[nellie1973] 08/9/2010 19:51

Broker upgrade
