I think income funds are switching some money out of miners/oils because of the uncertainty over both and tobacco is one of the beneficiaries.

And the xd drop has been exceeded......I even thought of selling my holding today...on the possibility of a retracement....my finger hovered above the sell button....I didnt. I also see BATS is roaring ahead.

progressive yield, defensive most likely; maybe some were underweight.

[shutittrev] 23/1/2015 17:17

Any ideas Phil?....broker upgrades, progressive yield, possible corporate action, defensive stocks in favour?
Not complaining though.....

[philo124] 23/1/2015 17:13

Fantastic.

No holding this baby back at the mo.

A big thank you to Imperial.

My target has been £32 for the last six months. I think £35 could now be on the cards by this time next year. Unless Milliplod & Sturgeon are running the country from their respective zoos.

Update: Now gov.are proposing plain packaging before election - must be Clegg & Co and their killjoy friends at work. Might make it harder to pass off illegal imports from countries where plain packaging is not illegal. Always two sides to every coin. Wonder if its going to be illegal to sell empty re-fillable cartons alongside the plain filled packs.

Impressive indeed.

[shutittrev] 21/1/2015 16:30

Impressive Imps.....closing at an all time high?,

[losos] 21/1/2015 10:43

Maybe we will see £30 today :-)

Imperial Tobacco was performing well after Morgan Stanley hiked its target price from 2,680p to 3,250p and named the stock its new top pick, saying it is "increasingly optimistic" about its pending $7bn acquisition of assets from Reynolds and Lorillard.

Here here well said.

[shutittrev] 13/1/2015 16:23

I couldn't agree more....left wing traitors.

If Milliplod gets too heavy companies will re-domicile. He never says anything to help business create growth He just looks around for another way to tax them. This man and Balls are a menace. Just remember the last labour gov. and the state they left the country in, both fiscally and socially. You only have to look at France to see what similar ideologies can lead to.

These are global companies. Do you think some insignificant politician on a puny island where tobacco sales are becoming insignificant are going to stop investors? I don't think so. There have been far larger threats in the US with respect to litigation/health etc.. and so far, they have been relatively ignored. Best swat the little Wallace fly away.

[dogwalker] 13/1/2015 08:05

Re Milli.. maybe his chances of getting elected are now viewed as small enough to be able to discount his threats/promises.

[supermarky] 12/1/2015 21:20

People buying for xd on Thursday me thinks.

[shutittrev] 12/1/2015 20:28

Quite surprised that the price didn't drop today given Millibands comment about the taxing of tobacco companies.

[supermarky] 12/1/2015 14:54

Resistance 2970 will it break before xd Thursday?

[supermarky] 12/1/2015 14:54

Resistance at 2970 area. Will it break before xd Thursday?

'....money from tobacco companies' are the words used at approx 46 minutes in on iPlayer, BBC (Andrew Marr 11/01/15).

[supermarky] 11/1/2015 20:41

There will no companies left to support his huge social projects. The guy hates seeing companies making money. Not in the real world
