Invensys Share Discussion Threads

I've been into these for many years now. Such a roller coaster and just hanging on buying a few more when the prices get this low. Keep smiling. They will be bought out one day.

Almost like old times, just missing Scribbler or was that corus.

LoL. I'm still here. Invensys has been one of my core holdings for years, bought for a Corus style outer that has always been 'just around the corner'. I hold via spreads and was absolutely hammered by these in the credit crunch and now take a very jaundiced view of the ISYS share price as it seems to have a very high beta. For the last couple of market panics, I have traded out a chunk at the start of the downcycle and then bought back in for the inevitable rise. Not too fussed about timing the bottom exactly as I know I will be buying back - the main thing for me has been the big contribution each sell and buyback has made to my 'ISYS owes me' pot. Sad but true.

Yes, I'm on tender-hooks. Hobby, yes i think he legged it when we went down, I think there is only about 4 of us now holding on for dear life here...

Where has hobby gone? Is he no longer a supporter since Invensys were relegated? Does anyone know the status regarding Invensys board offloading Invensys pension scheme? I have been an Invensys share holder for nearly 10 years. A fitting end to a decade of pain would be for Siemens to finally get into a bidding war with US and Chinese companies.

jak1...............takeover targets usually have a marked increase in share price especially if they are considering off loading the pension deficit...........

[limit up] 25/7/2011 08:51

[jak1] 24/7/2011 09:48

[uknighted] 24/7/2011 09:43

Article in today's Times Business Section reporting that Invensys are doing a deal over the pensions deficit which will then make them a takeover target. Regards UK

[jak1] 21/7/2011 12:26

Yes, down for no reason that I can find. I think it must be because I own it. I'm starting to get a complex...
