15 mins of auction, somebody wanted 581750 at 71.5p. Should be much higher tomorrow. My guess we'll open around 76p and rise to 85p+. Lets see what the rags make of it. The FT was kind of mixed, alot of debt but equally enogh profit to cover the debt and they noted the pe level was cheap. 100p in a battle would seem about right.

Jimmy...were there big buys after close ?

pachandl - 12 Dec'07 - 16:04 - 5507 of 5544


I don't think I have ever bought a share where a possible bid has come in on the same day as my purchase. I shall go home and crack open the champagne - or, more likely, wait to see whether the share price does recover.


----------------------
Congrats pachand1. Same happened to me. I thought the sell off was over done so went £30/p long at 49.5 (buy) just after 3pm (when NIS was top loser of the day), come back from working in the attic and find a bonus of £700 :)

[jimmy c] 12/12/2007 17:12

Suspect we'll see a good spike up in the morning. Enormous buy orders in the book late on but MMs wouldn't let you buy/sell really.

[argy2] 12/12/2007 17:11

Be interesting to know whether TW bought some today p/a or for his investment fund having spoken to the company.

tsmith2 you should know.

[blackbear] 12/12/2007 17:10

You bet some Bears got a kick in the hairy gonads.

[grlz] 12/12/2007 17:08

Having shorted NIS in the past - some people have taken a battering today on that reversal.

[jimmy c] 12/12/2007 17:00

those big trades around 46p were def sells which forced the price so low. This was down too much hence my reason for buying.

I cant imagine those last trades were sales at all, who would sell 1.8 mln at 46p ,has to be a buy and the 2 mln allso, any thoughts?

[tsmith2] 12/12/2007 16:53

can anyone make heads or tails of the after hrs trades, some huge BUYS going through

[jimmy c] 12/12/2007 16:46

somebody with an order for nearly 600000 in the book, should rocket in the morn. Great day but plenty of upside tomorrow.

[tsmith2] 12/12/2007 16:42

fantastic Gordon on

if you are not into the micro analysis what on earth is the above?

[blackbear] 12/12/2007 16:42

There was definatly some sort of concerted raid today.

[simon gordon] 12/12/2007 16:40

Rubbish - we shall see!

NIS:

~Are take over junkies.
~They have a huge debt pile.

I am not inclined to do a micro analysis. The macro story is not pretty.

Good fortune!

taffee >> for once in ages I have had great success. Busy half day at work. Got home to watch my youngest daughters xmas performance. Got indoors. Thought I would just check my shares. For just over a year now have not held any NIS shares. Having NIS from old times sake still on my watch list saw -20% and had to find out what it was all about. Thought what was written was cobblers. Took a small SB out at 46p. Ten to 15 mins after doing so bingo. Never had that before. Was expecting a notice rubbishing what had been written, but the potential offer was a real bonus. For once in many months lady luck is looking at me. Still keeping the faith with AHT where I am suffering a large loss like many. ;-))

[tsmith2] 12/12/2007 16:37

would be interesting to see whether Numis are acting brokers to the predator..?

Simon - u may wanna read through the posts before posting such rubbish especially NIMRAH's

[simon gordon] 12/12/2007 16:37

Just a bit of Deja Vu - Torex Retail:

~Take over junkies.
~Huge debt pile.
~Take over muted but fell through.
~Company went bankrupt.

I don't know the NIS story inside out - I once held Rebus who they bought from PE.

If the take over collapses under due dilligance, with the City ultra bearish, then this share is in trouble.

[taffee] 12/12/2007 16:35

well doesn't mater...no-one would be prosecuted and they know it.

[gurp] 12/12/2007 16:33

so who knew what???

[grlz] 12/12/2007 16:30

takeout - 80/90 range otherwise no chance the board will recommend. I would like to see £1 but I doubt it.

[grlz] 12/12/2007 16:27

ThisTimeNext - I have to admit the notes by Numis yesterday and MS today - I was thinking are these guys even looking at the same company as me - it was discounting to zero the value of Arinso and had the Banks breaking down the door - The total market over-reation to that nonsense gave a huge opportunity - I kicked myself missing the bottom @45 but @47.695 I ain't complaining - Only regret not buying more....

[thistimenextyear] 12/12/2007 16:26

Got to be one of the greatest reversals for ages.
40%+ if on considers when I noticed less than 1 hour ago NIS was 20% down and now 20% up.

[eithin] 12/12/2007 16:26

95p starters..........
