Wunder: 'Out of curiosity anyone else have their own personal year end target for IMB?'

Nope, the market seems flighty and really hard to read at the present, I've given up thinking of 'targets'; and looong already gave up on analysts ''''forecasts'''.
I just stick with plan #A, try and buy divi-quality, monitor like a hawk, and then continue re-investing from accumulated divs when there is a smell of good long-term value.

When was the market ever based on rationality?

Hi Ken, I've been watching and waiting today and not happy with price action on what is reasonable/good results. Agree with sentiment on this bb - is the market taking the mickey? Initial bounce to 2700 subsequently falling to 2573p! If it makes anyone feel better I've also joined the idiot brigade and bought more @ 2590p. Incidentally I've also been accumulating BATS in recent weeks [and again today c.3290] - whilst tobacco sector is blatantly out of favour at present and has been for good 18 months or so I believe it will come back into vogue at some point...but I sincerely hope that's sooner rather than later - the profitability of my portfolio hinges on it.

A handful @ 2582p for me.

More it goes down less we have to wait for BID . It will come and you may get 3400p 3600p as a bid price and everyone will accept it as a "good riddance". Hope that capitulation occurs sooner rather than later.

ACTION wise move hope you get the price your looking for mine was 26.00 but well done for hanging on.

Ken ,

tempted to average down. but will wait for USA open.

[ken tennis] 06/11/2018 12:13

Couldn't resist a top up at 11.55 am this lost over 5% since the bounce this morning so got to be a bargain at 2601.63.

Any one else get in just before 12.00 mid day.

[ken tennis] 06/11/2018 09:54

Looks like they going to close the gap up from 2645 before it resumes any further price increase.

...."In next generation products, our main focus is on transitioning smokers to blu, a significantly less harmful alternative to cigarettes. Next generation products also offers additive opportunities ..."

That's what we want - 'addictive' opportunities...strange choice of the word there.

[philanderer] 06/11/2018 09:14

It'll do me :-)

Morning everyone.

Falling back now, even good results and an increased dividend confirmation can't light a fire under this. Probably finish down on the day after all.

See if we get a bounce on open I hope so
