Hazl, what do you mean "has such a good spread?
It is FTSE250 and traded on SETS

[hazl] 03/7/2015 09:29

Compared to most of my shares this has such a good spread...which is a good sign I think.

[hazl] 02/7/2015 09:35

thanks for that phil....they certainly seem very active at the moment.

edit

We are limited in these austerity picks but I think Poundland seems to have a bit of momentum raysor.
Nothing is written in stone.
I am having more trouble wading through details on a different firm that I am wondering about!
Apart from the 99p stores at least PLND is fairly transparent,in my view.

IMO

[raysor] 02/7/2015 09:22

Hazl, it would be beneficial to me if the shares went up.
We are mainly relying on a favourable outcome on the 99p stores.
There is a lot going on in the sector what with the Poundland acquisition and favourable noises re Poundstretcher.

Large Poundworld store set to open in Northampton tomorrow




Burger King and Poundland have signed up for units at Martineau Place in Birmingham city centre

I am going just on a charting perspective presently....we cannot tell how the situation will go in October....however things regularly get oversold.
Again the macro has been a big affector of shares recently;whereas Poundland remained firm,even blue in some instances,from memory.
A change of sentiment perhaps?
Technicals,fundamentals each play their part but investor sentiment has a very real part to play as well.
Retail has gone through a torrid time.

I cannot pretend to know any more than the next guy what the future holds but we will have to wait and see.
What is your take on it?

Edit
People ,of course,have to make up their own minds.If uncertain,you can always sell.

IMO

[raysor] 01/7/2015 13:33

Hazl, I hope you are right, but I fail to see any logic in your statement. Perhaps you would expand it a bit.

[hazl] 01/7/2015 13:18

As we have gone through such uncertainity and PLND has held up so well,I see no reason why this shouldn't be 'the base' for further recovery.

IMO

[philanderer] 30/6/2015 13:41

yep, we`re hanging in there :-)

[hazl] 30/6/2015 09:12

impressive imo

[hazl] 30/6/2015 08:02

I guess we have been expecting it.....

[philanderer] 29/6/2015 20:58

Looks like a repeat tomorrow... DJones in freefall :-(

[philanderer] 29/6/2015 17:03

Good defensive stock for a day like today.

Managed just -0.6% on the portfolio , thought it was going to be much worse.

[hazl] 29/6/2015 10:17

holding up very well so far....

[dstorey1] 26/6/2015 17:57

CMA will approve and frankly can't understand why they intervened in the first place.

Share price has consolidated nicely last fews days and formed a short term ascending triangle which is indicative of continuance of the prevailing trend. Strong probability that price will break to the upside near term. If coupled with volume expect it to "pop".
Price barrier post breakout 340-345.
No advice intended.

Good weekend all.

[philanderer] 26/6/2015 17:24

Good week +9p

Good weekend everyone.

[hazl] 26/6/2015 09:13

I am not particularly fussed about whether it goes through or not,apart from short term turbulence, it has a presence in its own right I reckon.
What do long-term holders think?

'Watchdog lists issues around Poundland deal'

26th june

Britain`s competition watchdog unveiled a list of issues it is exploring around Poundland’s £55m merger with 99p Stores after the discount chain agreed to push ahead with an in-depth probe last month.

Poundland, which floated on the stock market last year, announced in February that it was going to buy 99p Stores.

However, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found in April that the deal could result in less competition on the high street and launched a full-scale review into the tie-up.

In a statement published yesterday, the CMA said it is examining a number of key areas, including whether there would be a loss of competition at a local and national level.

It will also look at the sizes of local catchment areas around the two companies’ stores in order to identify which of their stores overlap and rule out “unproblematic” local areas.

In April the watchdog raised concerns over 80 areas where it believes there could be “a realistic prospect of less competition” and an additional 12 where they would compete in the near future.

The findings of the investigation are expected to be published in October. Poundland boss James McCarthy said last month that he was confident regulators would give the merger the green light.

The rise to prominence of value retailers since the crisis has seen Poundland and 99p Stores extend operations nationally across 600 stores and 250 stores, respectively.

McCarthy argues that the merger will help create a stronger competitor against retailers like Tesco and Asda and accelerate its ambitions to expand in the south.
