don't think posting them on here would make any difference imo....

got stopped out myself @ 1354.... very surprised its down 4% again or so first thing.... but there again this is volotile and can swing 40-60 points in 15 mins

seems to be recovering a little now they have nicked every ones money...lol

I'll say it again: stop losses are stupid - if it's logical to buy at 1480, then it's crazy to sell two days (on no new news) later at 1380; the logical step is surely to buy more.

[nigelpm] 29/2/2008 09:39

Yeah, I'm sorry but anyone who posts their stop losses is insane!

[johnrxx99] 29/2/2008 09:34

Robbie stopped out I guess, hehehe

[backmarker] 29/2/2008 09:31

before anyone else says it, i am wiping egg from face, but still holding.

[backmarker] 28/2/2008 16:27

faith restored. i expected some profit-taking, but not to 1400 otherwise I would have traded a few out and in. i think the newspaper comments have focussed too much on housebuilding which is only 25% of kier business and they have put defensive measures in hand. rest of business going like a train.

will now admit i topped up at 1402 this a.m., didn't want to look foolish if 1380 subsequently broke. it may still, but less likely now. 1400 is a bounce on the developing uptrend, but i am not sure whether a buy signal yet confirmed (20 day m.a. not quite crossing the 50)and 1485 (met yesterday) was the latest upside target from p&f and i don't see another yet.

stale bulls from 2006 may slow progress to 1750 resistance. new uptrend could also meet the downtrend at around 1750 in May. not a bad return over 3 months. but i think there is much more to come - 2900 ???

the CE seemed very confident and only a general collapse in markets might spoil the picture. that said, i think it's time to take out a short on FTSE to hedge KIE.

Medium trade for Robbie.... no need to panic nor should anyone else....

[nigelpm] 28/2/2008 10:53

Looks more likely they'll hit his stop - why on earth people insist on publishing where their stops are is beyond me.

[shauney2] 28/2/2008 10:47

The Naked trader bought into these yesterday.Wouldnt be surprised to see him top up at these prices.Wish i had more funds.

[c3jns] 28/2/2008 10:46

The Naked Trader

Loved the look of the Kier results (KIE) and even though the shares were already up 57p I fearlessly (or recklessly depending on your point of view) picked up 300 shares at 1464.89p and a fiver on the spreads at 1474.

They look way undervalued even after this morning's rise and I think worth at least 200p more. Target 1650 stop 1380. Actually I can see they are up and over 1500p now.

looks good value just topped up....

[mrminister] 28/2/2008 10:31

i thought profit takers would knock it back today..... never mind, just topped up @ 1406 s/b ...... give it a couple of days and will be back £15+

[nigelpm] 28/2/2008 10:14

funny, crazy market at times innit? ;-)

[paxton208] 27/2/2008 18:28

Kier Group 1,493 up 87
Interim profits up 23.2 pct; Landsbanki repeats 'buy'
Anyone got the landsbanki note yet?

[backmarker] 27/2/2008 15:08

just the result i was hoping for. glad i kept the faith. only weak spot is housing, and even that doesn't seem too bad. everywhere else they appear to be firing on all cylinders.
maybe panmure gordon will now revise/withdraw its sell recommendation.
i understand dresdner have issued a 'buy' with target £28.
i'll settle for £17-18 as first stop, then on to last years high at £25.50.
enjoy.

[mrminister] 27/2/2008 10:35

rising like mercury......nice

[mrminister] 27/2/2008 08:49

any investors waiting outside the pool will now jump in to see what its like....

like the bank of england of construction co's

shame the figs are out today on a down day.... the bid offer is only the same as yesterdays high .....at the mo.....

[donemyhomework2] 27/2/2008 08:11

I think we should be looking at £15 at the very least.

[johnrxx99] 27/2/2008 07:45

Certainly agree and nearly kept their 20%pa record. Words of caution of course but at this level, I hope/should see support today.

[donemyhomework2] 27/2/2008 07:32

"Firmly on track for growth" in 2008!!!!

Excellent 2007 results and very good 2008 prospects IMO.

Cheap as chips.

[mrminister] 22/2/2008 13:41

agree backmarker, price can be eratic.... one day looking at 1400 next 1300,

i have a modest profit a current price and like the u bend forming in the chart.... one to hold imo.....

[backmarker] 22/2/2008 10:44

have been holding this for some time. it really did look good.
apart from scottish housebuilding, all the news etc has seemed positive.
so I am very disappointed with performance. while construction outlook generally may not look buoyant, I think Kier is a worldclass company and should command a premium.
the AGM statement indicated good order books, strong cash, etc., and if this message is still the same next wednesday I would hope for a bit of strength in the share price otherwise it's clear this is not a well-loved share (judging by the activity on this PBB) and i shall probably just cut my losses.

[sozamyers] 16/2/2008 00:08

I like Kier but any significant share price rise is dependent on positive fwd order book not 07 results. The market is worried about 08, not 07. Also re: Charles Stanley's bulletin - who would pay 10x earnings for construction in today's market? More like 5/6x max imo.

[freda] 13/2/2008 08:55

With the £16M profit from the recent sales, the results end of Feb should be good (or good projections for the future). I can see this slowly rising until the 27th Feb, then who knows - assuming a flat market

[mrminister] 12/2/2008 16:21

green shoots.....green shoots....green shoots....nice
