hi jaws6 yep just a few momentum trading doesnt comply with my technical or fundamental value system rules, just momentum and instinct.....probably the worst reason to buy anything;-)

I think SKS will benefit each time the sharks nibble PNN or any of the other utility or waste related type long term businesses.

Keep the faith. a 1 day

Have you got this ? I am watching

Hmm hope so. But the Irony is too much I bought at the top of the spike you can see on the intraday.

I'm currently convinced those AT trades are an MM's High Frequenct Trading algorithm tradeing out a block of stock by gaming us PI's and when it's done the share price will continue down.

Not that I'm a paranoid trader.

betman

Agreed - bought spread bet yesterday for Dec which includes the interim div circa 1.3p they could go to 90p before resistance.I am sure SKS will be taken out some time, there are regular rumours.
They also have the PPP/PFI schemes in the pipeline.
Low risk,but exposure to the Euro in Netherlands for those who are worried about
its survival.

4,2% yiels, excelent

[betman] 16/8/2012 15:13

price has oscillated between 78p and 80p for 2 1/2 months and now seems to have defintiely broken out upside. Talk of industry consolidation may be the driver or else a slow improveemnt in their key European markets. I see this as a low risk buy with a 4.2% yield whilst waiting

Bought in this morning after getting new signal on a potential new uptrend. Will hold until trend reverses. Please note I trade purely on price action, not fundamentals. GLTA

A commentary on what is going on in the industry from the FT of last Thursday


quote

Pennon slid 1.2 per cent to 754.5p after Credit Suisse raised concerns about the group's waste management division, Viridor, which has provided more than a quarter of group earnings.




Viridor's acquisitions and capital expenditure have not translated into improved earnings, with operating profit at the unit down 5 per cent in the year to March, said Credit Suisse.

"This suggests to us that the core Viridor business is ex-growth," it said.

The broker blamed a shift in the market away from landfill, where strict regulations give Viridor a competitive advantage.

Recycling, by contrast, has low barriers of entry and is highly fragmented, which drives down prices, it said.

Since Pennon last reported, competitors including Suez Environnement have warned of a further deterioration in the UK waste market.

Pennon was likely to echo that caution in a trading update next month, Credit Suisse said.

The decline in landfill volume means Pennon had become dependent on acquisitions just to keep Viridor's earnings stable, it argued.

The broker downgraded Pennon to "underperform" with a 710p target.
