Henderson European Share Discussion Threads

[martinc] 12/5/2006 10:02

I seem to find myself on several of your threads, JTCod, though usually slightly late in the day as it always takes me about a month to get time to digest my quarterly CD REFS, by which time HET has gone up from 65p to 90p. Any other tips? AMU is I think the largest initial share purchase I've made, and I still wonder whether to get more. HET seems harder to buy so I don't want to go over the top. I like the look of TG21 (TGP). I still have some Marchpole.. think you sold? I'd be interested to know how long you wait before selling stocks. My failing is timing my sales - I usually hold too long.

At the interims: "In the light of the Interim trading results the Directors are not recommending the payment of an Interim Dividend but, subject to trading conditions and continuing positive progress, intend to propose the payment of a final dividend for the year"

Not clear what the divi will be, but looks likely now. It is not likely to be a token dividend either,(which would send the wrong signal), though hard to know what exactly it might be.

The big effect on tomorrow's prices...and for the next few weeks... is the DOW's fight to get through its old closing high of over 5 years ago. (11,577.74, I think)

Disregard the intra-day highs. It's the close which counts. My reading of the chart is that it won't manage it for a while but will skirt around it for several weeks.

It's a daunting task and it may not make it for a year or two...if ever. Naturally, I deeply hope that it pushes on through, but I can't say the chart is optimistic.

It will be a down day for most thing tomorrow.

fordtin,

Since you asked JT, I assume you are looking for an answer based on fundamentals.

From a strictly chart perspective I would be suspicious of BPG's ability to continue to rise, whereas I am quite happy to keep my HET shares on the chart assumption that its recovery still has more to go.

My target for HET is 125p and probably 150p whereas I think BPG will have difficulty getting back past 425p.

Just my opinion.

You're welcome Zoo. Just the beginning I think.

[goonertone] 10/5/2006 15:29

well that large sell seems to have had a major impact on online quotes

You can now get 150 @ 94 and sell 15000 @ 93.2

[zooshare] 10/5/2006 12:20

bought 10k at 94p for core holding and 5k at 92p (earlier) CFD! neither is showing on trade....strangest MM behaviour with this share! good tip JCT...thanks

[martinc] 10/5/2006 11:35

Had no trouble buying yesterday though....

[goonertone] 10/5/2006 11:13

Online limits are the worst I have seen( or best from a bullish viewpoint)

100 to buy @94 and 15000 to sell @ 93.5

After today's move the chart is starting to look really nice. We have now completely filled the gap down from the November profit warning and are starting to pull away from the 200 day MA - now both 86 and 75 should be good solid support levels. On the upside there is clearly massive resistance at 150 and the declining tops currently cut at around 130 but there's not a lot else I can see. 100 could be a psychological barrier but it didn't hang around long there on the way down...

Zooshare said that when quoted 93p last week when it was 88 I believe. Looks like we'll see 93p bid today so who knows whether 98p will be around for long

Just tried to buy c. 10,000 shares and was quoted 98p against the market price of 90p. No thanks.

Sorry for not replying earlier.

It's certainly a tight market. I'm surprised that yesterdays RNS didn't move it more. Maybe it will take a little longer to sink in.

If I were an Analyst covering this stock, I'd do a full update and buy note right now to get my clients ahead of the pack. It's still a gift imo.

I can exclusively reveal that a shop in Halesowen, West Midlands is not renewing its contract with Choices UK Local. The shop owner informed me that the business is going to a competitor but did not say who.

Tried to buy more this am. Limited to 2500 at 88p rest offered at 90.

[jtcod] 09/5/2006 09:23

And still they haven't posted my 80p trade. Even though it was settled yesterday.

I have not spoken to the management about the Div. However, I see no further obstacle's in the re-establishment of the Dividend.

Provided the business does not have any further disruption between now and September, I expect them to announce it with the prelims.

It will be an important driver of share price imo.

Edit
I'm also expecting Peel Hunt and Seymour Pierce to up the status from Hold to Buy this week.

[bletherer] 08/5/2006 13:34

Not too much impact on the share price so far from the strategic update. As mentioned previously we are right at the 200 day MA (at about 85p) which is likely to act as resistance in the absence of a clearer upside break in the next day or so IMO. With no further news due for a while I could see profit-taking pulling this back 15p or so short term. Management are clearly keen to be seen to be acting to improve the situation - I think they can feel the breath of Gyllenhammar on their necks.
