thats a strange time to announce a rise in threshold for Barclays. It seems they have not lost any confidence in MPH at all. Either that or the French bloke is dealing for them LOL.

[mick33] 29/1/2008 17:58

Barclays increasing 8 - 9 % !!

Mind you SC were forecasting 19p eps before the Interims, at which MPH stated they would be "slightly below" forecasts, well, 10p is not slightly below 19p even in MM speak.

The chart seems to be forming an upward "Pennant" normally bullish.

Surprised directors are not buying at this price or they are not buying back their own shares. Director buying seemed to dry up in November. Watching closely here as looks excellent value once we know that things haven't gone pear shaped over xmas. Not confident to buy yet given the carnage out on the high street.

Hmmm - interesting. That's not what the share price is indicating though!

[dan de lion] 27/1/2008 12:56

topvest:-

Shore Capital are forecasting 10p eps this year and 19p eps next.

[topvest] 26/1/2008 17:59

Looks interesting here, although maybe a little early to get in. I suspect H2 has been very difficult. 2008/09 may be better, but must be a risk of another profit warning. What are current analyst expectations for this year?

dean.....I had quite a long conversation with amy at the pr company.Obviously she didn't tell me anything I shouldn't know,but seemed very upbeat about marchpole transformation from single deal to worldwide multi-deals and FUTURE prospects.

shareprice is something the company cannot control,but bearing in mind its priced at bust....news to the contrary could see a massive rise....otherwise it WILL be bought...in fact I believe there are private equity looking at many apparel retailers and I am sure marchpole is one of them.

markets makers seem to want to stitch morris up,however,he is a good negotiator and may well have the last laugh.

[deanroberthunt] 25/1/2008 09:58

taffe...I have a trading tranche, which may be coming this way soon enough...a gap up to 50p looks possible and then its clear skies to 100p.

[taffee] 25/1/2008 08:22

things are going far better than the share price recognises I believe

dandelion...give em a chance, they'll be busy with the rotational linguistics consultant, before issuing the ts.

[dan de lion] 24/1/2008 16:13

"few weeks" christ it's only nine weeks to the end of the financial year.

[jamesjoel] 24/1/2008 15:45

Trading statement gonna be issued in the next few weeks just had a reply from the PR department

[taffee] 24/1/2008 13:38

I hear some news coming from the pr company(what they told me)

hope its good

[deanroberthunt] 24/1/2008 13:20

The whole retail sector is way way oversold....

[0o0] 24/1/2008 11:45

Interesting chart. Could well be that 40p ish will be the new support level unless it tops out now at 39p, then it becomes the new resistance. This is the time when the company needs to put some good news into the market (If it has any)

[dumbarton2] 22/1/2008 10:53

[taffee] 21/1/2008 17:32
