thats the exact amount of shares hes bought isn't it?

[little minx] 20/4/2007 14:44

Well looking even stronger then!

Wonder when the next rns about Swann's holding will appear.

[cockneyrebel] 20/4/2007 14:35

blimey, Gartmore have trimmed nearly 2% and these have still flown - must be Swann's buying that has caused them to sell him some I guess.

very funny CR

Well I think there's plenty waiting to buy the first dip they get the chance on and there hasn't been a dip yet so I doubt we need a large one to get the buyers back in here.

Good luck TwelveFinches - but it will be no fun being 'twelve inches' if something is 'afoot' and you're not long imo :-)

yes a few friday proft takers, sold out at 83p , will buy back next week sub 75p

[little minx] 20/4/2007 13:12

A few Friday profit takers - that is all.

[cockneyrebel] 20/4/2007 13:10

don't think I'll be selling yet - a few punters taking profits but I think matey buying 100K @ 73p wasn't out to make just 10%

Alot more stock around all of a sudden.

[cockneyrebel] 20/4/2007 12:35

similar sort of thing felt here Sven.

If matey is buying more at this level it looks ruddy horny.

Oh dear ! looks like the muppeteria are discovering this gem. Could be time to sell ?

[sven2006] 20/4/2007 12:29

have this strange feeling somebody knows that this co has secured something big in yank land. Just a thought, may be totally wrong, either that or Swann is buying even more.

[little minx] 20/4/2007 12:06

Topped up in here this morning too - looking pretty steady at the moment.

[callieanne] 20/4/2007 12:03

Hi MW .. weather is great here, just when I am about to go on holiday to Turkey on Monday. Luckily my hotel has a good internet connection, so I will be watching SOLA like a hawk. Results next week so they say.

MNS looking good to me Sven. Glad my prescence made no great difference to the climb.

[sven2006] 20/4/2007 11:01

doesn't seem to be a lot of buying so maybe more stuff in the background.

[monkeywrench] 20/4/2007 10:59

Hi callie, how's Germany today. Like you, I am also in Sola.
Both still very good holds.
I now use HL for my shares as well as UT / ISAs etc.
They are not the cheapest but very reliable.
I transfered from Selftrade because come year end, having just one piece
of paper with all my capital gains listed, makes life easier.
The discounts on funds & loyalty bonuses make up for the 3 or 4 quid
difference in dealing charges as far as I'm concerned.
Good luck.

[callieanne] 20/4/2007 09:37

Thanks Dio. Much appreciated.

[diogenesj] 20/4/2007 09:31

Selftrade's pretty good, and no extra charge for telephone (but the telephone service is not great, especially at busy times, i.e. when you really need it). Drawback is late payment of dividends (often) and lousy interest on cash. Can be hard to get attention if anything goes wrong.

I use the Stocktrade telephone execution-only service for my Sipp - it's pretty good, but more expensive. Better interest on cash. Very good service if things go wrong.

I also use Fastrade: inferior online dealing platform compared with Selftrade, but cheaper (extra £10 per trade for telephone though). Reasonable interest on cash. Very good service if anything goes wrong.

They all have their points. You need to have a good look at them before making up your mind.

[callieanne] 20/4/2007 08:42

Hi Dio .. thinking of going across to Selftrade also. They appear to be a decent outfit. Do you find Stocktrade better than them.?

[diogenesj] 19/4/2007 21:15

No, Stocktrade and Selftrade, Callieanne.

[safman] 19/4/2007 16:06

moving up very nicely today..

good luck

saffy..

[callieanne] 19/4/2007 15:09

Bat you don't use Hoodless Brennan Dio.

Should rename themselves Useless Brennan.

[diogenesj] 19/4/2007 13:39

Added another 16k in 3 lots without any probs.

[callieanne] 19/4/2007 13:05

Added another 2,000, but only able to get them as 2 x 1,000.

[n1blet] 19/4/2007 10:35

Agreed

They went quite liquid an hour ago which suggests stock became available, but the price is holding up well. Up in fact.

Looks to me that this stock is undergoing a complete rerate. So we shall see.

Timing may be the only real issue, ie timing of all the various options. In the past it has always been, bit of a slow burning fuse.

But clearily new mgmt, are taking the bull by the horns.
