just bought at 174p again!

[dawntrader] 17/3/2009 15:06

Been waiting to get back into these ... but when market rises .. this hardly manages to rise and in some cases falls, when the market falls this collapses.

Think will give up watching this one now and take it off my watchlist, have been temepted to hit the buy button, but have not done so, whenever I think about it ... it just falls more and more. good luck

could not even perform on such a bullish day in market !

[shammytime] 10/3/2009 08:28

The relentless slide continues. I'm glad I didn't buy in at 2.30.

[themoreiseeyou] 09/3/2009 16:18

I've looked everywhere and cannot see a £5.00 target. What is most striking is the failure of directors to buy at this grossly depressed price.

[dawntrader] 09/3/2009 12:46

Think you will have to wait about 3 years to see a fiver again... dont know what these brokers smoke .. but wish I had some.

[decoy] 08/3/2009 19:59

And yet Panmure set a price target of 500p on results day.

[yf23_1] 08/3/2009 18:11

Debt to equity ratio is high, so any downgrading will all flow through to the equity, hence the rapidly reducing mkt cap.

[robson1974] 07/3/2009 16:35

Net debt of £1200m with EBITDA of £350m.
Market Cap could easily go to zero unfortunately. IT does look as though the market will force the management into a rights issue before share price goes to zero. I was in this from 900 to 1200 but have been looking to buy at 400p luckily i did not have cash so managed to avoid can not understand share price but anything with debt is fari game for hedge funds to short.

[john hampton] 07/3/2009 14:42

Something not right here down 25% since fairly decent results, either grossly under-valued or grossly over-valued? Not in these but keeping a watching brief on this one.

[armistead34] 07/3/2009 11:18

Out yesterday, I regret to say. The £2-£1 corridor can be quite brutal in my experience.

[empirestate] 06/3/2009 23:31

most of the heavily indebted companies on the market are effectively falling on account of the high possibility of the potential rights issue to pay down debt as extra borrowing or borrowing flexibilities are not available. personally started looking at this around the 340 mark not so long ago, but glad i just sat on the sidelines

[waldiman] 06/3/2009 22:09

Every 30p/50p fall I'm accumulating more.

Possible reason for fall is David Ross maybe being forced to sell his shares?

ALso downgraded by Goldman Sachs (who?!) today and another fund yesterday.

Just wondering why Prudential keep buying.

[jdung] 06/3/2009 12:35

198p, think to buy? but check this company debt, too high..( it is high risk at future)
so waiting some days..., then looking again.

[armistead34] 06/3/2009 09:23

I agree. I've seen a similar thing at LVD, which has just reported very similar results, slashed its divi, but is essential sanguine on its prospects. Thing is, it'll now a be a game of nerves as the market sees just how far it can push shares like these, dividend notwithstanding. You pays your money.. imho, tempting as it may be to trumpet the merits of buying, it would be irresponsible to say anything in current market, except, be very careful.

[themoreiseeyou] 05/3/2009 21:51

In the current climate these fund managers will be under incredible scrutiny. They will not be taking unnecessary risks. The Prudential have been constantly building a stake in this company since late January. I think they must have good reason.
Spare a thought for Jorge Cosman who is currently sitting on a loss of more than £4 million pounds. This must be some kind of record for a director in such a short space of time, or does he know something that we don't.
Let's hope he has the last laugh because I bought at the same time as he did.
Wish I had £4 million pounds to lose.

[armistead34] 05/3/2009 20:44

Pru up to 8%.

[dawntrader] 05/3/2009 15:59

Just how low can it go......... I keep looking to get back in .... but so far have resisted... had a couple of lucky escapes so far. I suppose if its going to join the 90 pct club, then have to wait for £1.00

[armistead34] 03/3/2009 16:41

Buy buy buy - but possibly a good idea to stop, if it drops through 200..!

[bonzo1] 03/3/2009 14:11

looking to add again, last week results being ignored? buy, buy

[decoy] 02/3/2009 16:34

The UT trade wasn't a buy - is used for the single uncrossing trade, detailing the total executed volume and uncrossing price as a result of a SETS auction.

[armistead34] 02/3/2009 16:20

Any views on the rns about the East coast mainline?

[winston270] 02/3/2009 10:13

Prudential are still increasing their stake, purchase of a further 1,296,231 shares taking them too 7.5%. That still leaves a question mark over the above UT buy after close of Friday......

[winston270] 28/2/2009 21:27

That UT buy of 4,301,606 shares after hours was interesting....
