Hi All ....

Only a short term involvement with Tops Tiles logan. A bit of in and out.

Back in uk at present.

Sold out of Rank far too early at 101p but had bought in at average of 80p so shouldn't complain. Chasing 888 now but should have stuck with Rank with hindsight! That's life.

he's on the 888 thread now and i'm with him there as i'm invested heavily on that stock :) Looking 2 years back it seems 888 and RNK have now exchanged valuations.

I'm still sitting and waiting!!! & old Grizzly Bare is often to be seen in the wilderness of Topps Tiles (TPT).

very quiet on here , any one any good bid ramps ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Not sure if it's relevant , but may be setting a line in the sand for HMRC , taking a combative view.

Wish Guoco , would just get on and make a move ,,,,,

===========================================

HMRC has rejected a claim by Sportech Plc for the repayment of more than £40m in overpaid VAT.

The claim, filed in April, related to VAT on the 'Spot the Ball' game offered from 1979 to 1996, which Sportech maintained was paid in error.

The company now has 30 days to lodge an appeal, which it says it intends to do.

Ladbrokes in preliminary discussions with 888 re £240M takeover - should stir things up sector-wide tomorrow.

[scrapman] 19/12/2010 10:41

recent tip in IC apparently (fwiw )

[loganair] 15/12/2010 09:18

Dare I even think it. If there is not a take-over by Guoco, could we be looking at 200p some time next year???

If so then Burke who purchased 100,000 shares at 100p each will be sitting on a nice fat profit of 100% or £100,000 in a little over a year.

Something going on here - any ideas?

[scrapman] 13/12/2010 15:55

just seen something about Genting rescheduling debt , wonder if it's an opportune time for Guoco to step in and do the honourable thing ( and not before time )

[loganair] 09/12/2010 17:46

At least everthing is going in the right direction, even if it's just ever so slowly a penny hear and a penny there.

Also looking at the dividend, this year as we know is 1.35p the forecast for next year is 2.27p and the year after 2.80p.

[scrapman] 09/12/2010 08:56

would be nice to see us through 1-50 again , seems like reasonable results , but not had any effect as yet,

[loganair] 08/12/2010 19:26

Panmure Gorden, an excellent increase in their Target Price.

06-Dec-10 Panmure Gordon Buy Target Price 173.00p
01-Oct-10 Panmure Gordon Buy Target Price 145.00p

[scrapman] 08/12/2010 09:59

maybe no need for a UK listing if they have RNK ?

few trades through this am , ahead of interims tomorrow,

[loganair] 07/12/2010 12:16

I've been to the GuocoLeisure web site, suprised no mention of this at all?

So any shareholders on the register after this date will be transfered over to New Zealand.

[scrapman] 07/12/2010 11:01

is this our Guoco , can anything be read into it ?,

"GuocoLeisure is to cancel its listing with effect from 17 January 2011.

The Board says that in view of the low trading volume the costs associated with maintaining its standard listing on the Official List outweigh the limited benefits.

The Company's primary listing on the Official List of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited and secondary listing on the New Zealand Stock Exchange will not be affected."

Trading update on the 9th:

From the last update in Oct:

"0850 GMT [Dow Jones] Investec Securities raises Rank Group (RNK.LN) price target to 156p from 137p, to reflect better long-term cash generation following the company's 3Q update. Says Rank has continued to outperform the brokerage's conservative expectations on every level. "We see this latest data as further evidence of operational progress, which should mitigate downside risk." Shares +4.1% at 126p."

[cockneyrebel] 18/11/2010 14:42

Setting up to go through last weeks high and test the big high imo.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 09/11/2010 10:30
