Landround Share Discussion Threads

A very nice steady progression of the share price since the beginning of the year on relatively small volume.

This suggests that the MMs are pushing the price up because its certainly not the volume of trades

Over 90,000 Royal Mail workers are receiving vouchers worth £150 for having no time off sick in the last six months. The company they can spend the vouchers with is landround PLC. Every area in the country will also have several £2000 hoilday voucher winners, don't know if these will be Landround as well.

Didn't attend the AGM but just noticed a £40 dividend has been paid on my 500 Shares on 01/03/05.

Nice!!

Did anyone go to the agm?

[tompeck] 18/2/2005 15:30

Onwards and upwards, onwards and upwards :-)

Rara, the order has probably been filling for a while. Agreed limits are conflicting but there is no way you could fill a sell @ that price.

[rara] 17/2/2005 16:27

It looks like a buy for sure, but!!!, brokers will sell 3,700 and buy 1,000 so conflicting signals.
Any views.

[prefab] 17/2/2005 14:46

F@ck me that's a large buy! 2% of the company in one go.

[ntk2004] 14/2/2005 12:47

Thank for the new about TESCO cobweb.

Even the sell volume today is not that big, why with all the sells and only one buy, the offer regain slowly its level? Can somone explains?

Since the fall few months ago trading volume is very thin but according to graph price has regained between 20 to 30%? Same question no news and thin trading but what make it rising? Is there something behind the scene we don't know?

BAA, ESY, etc in general British travel industries report positive number since December 2004, how would you project those numbers on LDR business? Would they affect the result compare to last June much?

Buy & Fly sign up Tesco in Ireland...see www.buyandfly.ie

[cobweb] 02/2/2005 23:27

Where to next ? Incredibly low volume, needs a kick to close the gap down.

Tompeck
3.00 barrier broken - early days!
continual slow tick up on very small volumes

[tompeck] 27/1/2005 16:29

Should be back above 300p by the start of Feb, need to break that barrier before on upwards to historical 350+p levels during Q1/Q2 imo.

[prefab] 21/1/2005 11:39

MMs obviously like it, they've been upping the price for the last 3 days.

RNS Number:6538H
Landround Plc
21 January 2005



LANDROUND PLC ("The Company" or "Landround")

CHANGE OF DATE FOR AGM


Landround has changed the date of its AGM from 29 January 2005 to 23 February
2005.


The time and the venue have not changed and remain at 2pm at The Quadrant,
Sealand Road, Chester CH1 4QR.


Accordingly the proposed payment of the final dividend has been moved from 3
February 2005 to 28 February 2005.


21 January 2005



Now why would they do that? I would have thought that it either has to be bad news and they need time to repair the damage, or that they are expecting good news and they want to announce it at the AGM. Last year they announced that they had won a contract with a credit card company which turned out to be the Morgan Stanley Buy & Fly card. If they have done it again, the shares could be very cheap at today's price.

I hold LDR shares.

I have ordered two Daily Mails every day for one month. That will give me two sets of vouchers and I assume that my wife and I can make separate bookings for the same flights - job done.

We have been to the US several times and had a fantastic holiday every time. A good trip would be a return flight to Washington and book rooms for two/three days in a Washington hotel to recover from the flight. While in Washington, hire a small car for three weeks, typical cost about £15 per day with unlimited mileage. Hire direct from a local hire company, not through an agent, and watch out for daily surcharges for insurance.

On the third day head out in a South Westerly direction down the Skyline Drive which runs for about 200 miles down through the Appalachian Mountains. Stop when you fancy it to admire the view, go for a walk, have something to eat. At around four o'clock look for a motel and expect to pay around £40 for a room with two double beds, a small kitchen and a bathroom. Breakfast will cost around £5 for a self-serve buffet or £3 if all you want is a stack of pancakes with maple syrup and limitless coffee.

You can head on down through Chattenooga and on to New Orleans which is an old Spanish city, and is a fantastic place. I would recommend two or three days here. Now follow the coast of the Gulf of Mexico around to Orlando and Disneyworld. It doesn't matter if you don't have children, just go in and watch everybody else having a wonderful time.

If you now head North along the Atlantic coast line, you can drop in on the Cape Kennedy space centre, Charlston, Williamsburg, and back up to Washington. With the exception of Disney World, none of the places on route are major centres for British visitors, and you will find that the local people will are delighted that you have visited their town. They will all want to talk to you, they will all want to tell you about local places to visit, and being British is a major plus. When we did the trip there was not a single occasion when we were not offered a room at the first motel we stopped at.

You will never need to drive more than about 250 miles in a day, and with an automatic gearbox, air conditioning, and roads which are almost empty by British standards, the driving is easy.

With petrol at about half the UK price, your total cost will be in the region of £80 per day for two people, and £100 per day if you have two children who are young enough to share a bed. You will need about three weeks for an easy, no stress trip right around the route.

You could do a similar trip from Boston which goes through New York state up through New England to Niagara and would take about two weeks for the same daily cost.

bick,only one voucher to be used per booking. o.k. if you are going on your own or you would have to book separately.

[prefab] 20/1/2005 10:26

+ Taxes of around £80 I imagine, cheaper than the £500 each I've just had to lash out over the Xmas period.

Daily Mail 19th January 2005. - Page 40.

A FREE RETURN FLIGHT VOUCHER TO EUROPE OR THE USA FOR EVERY READER.

"The promoter is Landround plc,"

Collect 25 differently dated tokens from the Daily Mail for a free return trip. At 40p per newspaper that is £10 return to the US. I'm in for two newspapers per day. Sounds like a cheap holiday and sounds like good business for Landround.

FRISBYD,

The way I look at it, LDR taught me a very valuable lesson about the nature of risk which hopefully makes me a better investor today and it helped me crystalise my trading strategy.

I've thought about geting out of the markets but there are still good companies out there worth looking at. Take a look at ITF, or GLI both are great growth stories and both trading at reasonable prices.

Good luck in whatever you choose to do.

Jangaman

[frisbyd] 15/12/2004 09:39

No need for any other comments gentlemen...I have sold out and no longer hold this stock,I wish you well holder or not,I have now ceased all activity in the stock market,good luck.

[diogenesj] 13/12/2004 09:17

I bought a few back in October, Fris, having sold before the last profit warning. I was hoping that they had finally disposed of all the banana skins, but that story in the FT reminded me of some of the past history that jangaman alludes to. It's no fun being told our investments are cr*p, but it's probably salutory to bear the possibility in mind. :-)

[frisbyd] 13/12/2004 09:10

Good morning Diogenesj...I would not call jangaman's comments exactly informed however,I was not aware of the points you had raised,and am not happy to see it.
I have been a shareholder for over two years now,and know well of the effect that recent events have had on my pocket,I will not foret it I can assure you.
I am still hopeful of a recovery in the share price,and a satisfactory conclusion to any outstanding legal problems.
Good luck if you are still holding,as indeed I am.
