Renewed bid?

[philo124] 13/7/2010 17:04

Nice close above 320p

[optomistic] 12/7/2010 16:19

Good afternoon all, the figs in my post 715 were C&P'd from ADVFN, I do apologise if they have created any confusion.

[optomistic] 11/7/2010 11:10

With PE Ratio at 4.86 and dividend covered 5.23 times I can see where the brokers get their 600p+ target price from.
Has to be lot's of upside from here.

Excelent.

Certainly should be buying up to them.

[optomistic] 09/7/2010 15:38

Interims on the 10th Aug could begin to create ssome extra interest in the stock soon.

[trendfloor] 09/7/2010 15:35

Interesting to see all the broker interest, little wonder on a lowly P/E of just over 10 going forward......

International Power IPR......

GDF rumours again

[optomistic] 07/7/2010 11:15

I can only agree with that Visa. This has to be a major target in the utils.

[visa33] 07/7/2010 11:12

...just a (short) matter of time - 2x bids WILL come. This stock ISSSSS 400p +

Comments??

[visa33] 01/7/2010 11:16

...just a matter of time - 2x bids WILL come. This stock is 400p +

[optomistic] 30/6/2010 16:48

Sure they will come again shauney, in the meantime holding a growth stock with a fair divi...that will do for me.

[shauney2] 30/6/2010 16:32

Decisions decisions opto.Only needs the takeover rumours to resurface and up and away we go.

[optomistic] 30/6/2010 16:20

shauney, if it fails to hold 300, 290 should be easy got. If it holds 300 as support it could be expensive staying out....oh the dilemma ....

[shauney2] 30/6/2010 16:00

Very quiet here.
Looking to get back some more. Should i wait for 290p?

[timbo003] 12/6/2010 09:46

See yesterday's Markets live transcript on FT alphaville

EDF mentioned, as well as GDF as possible suitors

[pirgatto] 11/6/2010 12:29

There can be no smoke without a little fire somewhere?
Hope so anyway
