[oneeyedjack01] 11/9/2009 13:03

[envirovision] 11/9/2009 09:32

The more i look into it the more i am convinced

[broadwood] 11/9/2009 08:33

Looks like there might be something in those rumours.

It may be good for the company as a whole to remove all this uncertanty regarding the major shareholders, buying bits that you want from yourself never gets a true valuation.

Out with all the Winchester scroats that are shareholders and run MWB, cut the gravy train.

09 Sep 2009 Continuation Wedge (Bullish) Intermediate-Term Bullish
09 Sep 2009 Short-term KST Short-Term Bullish
09 Sep 2009 Momentum Short-Term Bullish
09 Sep 2009 MACD Short-Term Bullish
09 Sep 2009 Price Crosses Moving Average (21-day) Short-Term Bullish

Technicals are good, the market is now looking at this type of stock now after several other sectors have outperformed. This will do well from here and 75p isnt that far out of reach. This is just gathering some pace now. IMHO

From today's FT:

MWB , owner of the Malmaison and Hotel du Vin hotels, rose as traders noted stake building.

Talk centred on an Asian investor that had snapped up a chunk of the company last week. Late in the session, Pyrrho Investments declared a 10.2 per cent holding. Shares in MWB closed up 6.6 per cent at 48p.

I know when the holding exceeds 30% right gotta make intentions clear then? Price moving up then.

[broadwood] 10/9/2009 15:28

Any bid approach must be reported to the market.

[envirovision] 10/9/2009 14:48

Some guys on iii appear to have uncovered a possible take over of the hotel and break up linked to Pyrrho, gotta be bags of upside from here imo

[johnv] 10/9/2009 13:48

[johnv] 10/9/2009 12:55

[finess] 10/9/2009 08:30

A friend of mine also a shareholder had a call from a gentleman with a strong none English accent saying he was from the USA and wanted to know how he felt about the company with a view to some sort of action. My fiend asked him to put it in writing.

[johnv] 09/9/2009 23:58

Anyway whats this about calls from America, Finess?

[johnv] 09/9/2009 23:14

This is from message 168 of the previous mwb message board





From my Etrade weekly market review email received today
Thought it would be of interest to this BB, surprised no RNS?
Richard Balfour-Lynn is the CE of MWB so assume it relates to this co.??


Small Caps Round Up

Regent Street retailer Liberty has exchanged contracts to surrender the lease on its Liberty of London shop on Knightsbridge's Sloane Street following an unsolicited offer from a European fashion brand.

�We received a fabulous offer for our Sloane Street lease completely out of the blue,� said chairman Richard Balfour-Lynn. �The incoming tenant offered us a �700,000 cash premium for the lease which we will use to further develop the increasingly successful Liberty of London global luxury label.�

As a result the Liberty shop will close and all the staff, stock and fittings will transfer to Liberty's Regent Street flagship store. In addition to the cash premium, it is estimated that by refocusing Liberty of London's retail operation into the flagship store there will be annual cost savings of approximately �500,000.

The group said both the Liberty of London label and the broader Liberty retail business has been enjoying a period of revitalisation following last February's 'Renaissance of Liberty' launch, which has resulted in double-digit sales growth over the past five months.

�We are now in a series of discussions with major international companies that will provide exciting branding collaboration and distribution opportunities through an increasing number of commercial networks. We are confident these will lead to increased profile and profitability for Liberty of London,� Balfour-Lynn added.

Hi
I thought it was common knowledge that MWB had recieved an offer for Liberty.
I seem to remember reading one of the financial pages in a Sunday paper about 5-6 weeks ago.
Regards

[newswseller] 09/9/2009 19:13

[finess] 09/9/2009 18:55

Anyone had a call from America re shares

[broadwood] 09/9/2009 16:53

Greek philosopher.

Can only find some vague refence to a Honk Kong asset management firm.

Shouldn't think it is them.

[davebowler] 09/9/2009 16:41

Who are Pyrrho?

[broadwood] 09/9/2009 16:18
