[cyclingnut] 29/8/2008 14:41

I expect a 6-6.5p finish as no doubt sellers will appear?

[andrbea] 29/8/2008 14:41

was this 130p 3 years ago, what a fall.

[cyclingnut] 29/8/2008 14:39

[andrbea] 29/8/2008 14:04

[andrbea] 29/8/2008 13:58

the buying surge was between 13.44 and 14.00, then a long pauze
maybe the mystery buyer is out to lunch... :-)

[cyclingnut] 29/8/2008 13:55

andrbea,


where you been?!!

[andrbea] 29/8/2008 13:52

only old news on the I-net

eg Aug 18

The present economic climate means that the numbers are likely to remain good. As mainstream banks tighten their lending criteria, borrowers are driven to Provident. Some banks that were particularly aggressive in their credit-card advertising during the good times are now referring unwanted customers who answer those ads to the doorstep lender, in return for a commission. Provident believes that there are now 10 million people without access to normal loans.

At the same time, two of its main rivals - Cattles and London Scottish Bank - are pulling away from the home credit market. This will add to existing criticism that there is insufficient competition in home lending - one of the findings in the Competition Commission's 2006 report. But it is positive for Provident.

And I thought I was here all by my lonesome....been a few meaty trades over the recent weeks...as long as I get 11.25p then I am even and happy...anything more and I will be really happy.

The iii bb is really negative on this....what's the upside in your opinions chaps?

[tomandgerry] 29/8/2008 13:19

A usually silent lurker, I am shaken into verbosity! Any idea what's up anyone??

[andrbea] 29/8/2008 13:17

solid buying anyroad (stream of 50k's)

[davius] 29/8/2008 12:58

Seems to have woken up this afternoon, now in auction at 6.3p...

And out at 6.3-6.5p, wonder what's shaken this up?

[cyclingnut] 27/8/2008 15:18

what a journey!

[cyclingnut] 11/8/2008 18:46

mean,

does seem a little odd that a "coincidental" steady stream of buys have gone through today when normally this is a graveyard....not complaining mind you...

[meanm] 11/8/2008 14:55

I think so!

[cyclingnut] 11/8/2008 09:33

news leak.....nice buys streaming thru?
