Just sold 1500 Mar calls, might be to soon as the 1605 level as broken.
RB has been trying for a while now. Liked the profit to much to let it go,
could be a good time for a short term put.
It happen to me yesterday sold AAL before close and then watched it go up 41pts this morning. I love this game, good luck all.

RB,very highly valued,expensive company, has become even more highly valued and
expensive.

This is classic, everybody comes out on all the financial sites this morning saying that all other consumer products companies will struggle after the PG/Gillete merger and all of them are up 5%. Experts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I presume this is hot air based on the need (more like the hope) of this generating more mergers between the remaining players.

[a4] 28/1/2005 08:36

Will PGE/Gillete merger increase competition for reckitt?. I can't see anyone else big able to make a bid for Reckitt, or am i wrong ?

Haven't seen any price target upgrades due to yesterdays "forecasting beating results" . Strange...in the past RB. got upgrades after very good results. Maybe they will come or the city is a bit sceptical of Consumer companies now..

[a4] 20/10/2004 09:06

as the company will embark on a £300m buyback program, i can see the share price hitting the record high achieved earlier in the year

Reckitt Benckiser was another strong rider, up 82 pence to 1,485 after its
third quarter results and full year outlook smashed market expectations.
Reckitt raised its full year net revenue growth target to 9 pct from 7 pct -
well ahead of CSFB's forecast of 2.5 pct.
In the third quarter, Reckitt reported net income of 151 mln stg, beating
CSFB's forecast of 132 mln.
Dealers said the market is pleased that Reckitt has dispelled recent
negative stories regarding input costs (following profit warnings in the
sector).
WestLB reiterated its 'buy' recommendation on the stock following the
results.

Heres the reason...seems business is going as forecast.One would think this should lead to RB. rallying. SSL bid permitting.

Surprising how little RB moved up in this rally -it couldn't close above 1480 and now its moving down. Results are due in October. The share buybacks continue - in blocks of 150,000 which is less than the 200,000-300,000 blocks a few months ago.Worth noting that directors sold shares a few weeks ago.

Who knows - perhaps the recent share weakness is nothing but perhaps RB is going to disappoint - on its high PE even a slight probelm will send RB down.
