Back to "Mitchells & Butlers" - a previously owned name & much cheaper than the usual marketeers re-name process - seems to signify an acceptance that the sharks have tasted blood & are now well & truly circling. Theres going to be a flurry of activity at de-merger & we should get a nice ride up for the share price.

The Pensions Top up will apparently cost £60 million

All down to the demerger.

Thanks for your account, which if true (and I have no reason to doubt it) provides an insight into the shares poor performance.

[jimbostock] 09/12/2002 07:39

L2E well i can another reason the are doing poorley,they have one of their pubs in stok-on-trent which they took over and this is what they did they stopped all pub games they stopped thefootbal teams they stopped the cricket team and the golf team they tuned it into mainley food only and got rid of 200 customers and a turn over of 18,000 pounds a week and net profit of 8,000 a week , then they spent 50,000 on a extenion and 100,000 on refirb now they turn over 12,000 a week and a profit of 5,000 where as they could have keeped both and made between 10,000 to 13,000 per week , why invest money in idots like these people who do not have a clue how to run a bussiness or enlarge your investment

busineess men staying away from their premises and fear about the usual terrorism...it all looks a bit gloomy...

are you out of barc too?
buy side now looks even weeker

[robbb] 06/12/2002 00:59

The economy must be praying for consumers to hit the shops big time despite not getting a boost from a rate reduction, critical time for retailers in particular imo

[forwood] 06/12/2002 00:58

Sag - doubt it on Barc, that's what the price support action is doing today, to lift it back up over 424.

[sagjodler] 06/12/2002 00:57

rich

how about a sell-off today??
doo doo street!

[robbb] 06/12/2002 00:55

rich - below 4k back on the radar imo. The break of the ftse triangle was the first part of the puzzle, next is weak Europe.

[time traveller] 06/12/2002 00:51

Is anyone else having a problem with Level 2 and Monitor at the moment?
TT

[richgit69] 06/12/2002 00:51

robb, that what think so if they in th doo doo we will feel it as well IMO maybe a sell off again tomorrow ;-)

[sagjodler] 06/12/2002 00:49

Lift & Shift

barc chart looks very week. Broken
support yesterday. I think shert-term its
down to 400 at least.

[robbb] 06/12/2002 00:48

that means they think they are deep in the doo doo imo

[dieng] 06/12/2002 00:47

rich ... BP, didn't see your post, but, yes .. sort off

Closed s/b longs at 423.

I think it looks strong on a weekly / monthly basis, so still holding shares. And will repurch s/b long if it pulls back.

Where I find it difficult, is if it starts up again, do I repurch higher than 423, or just freeze. I wonder if my new found interest in charts might help me !

D.

PS. and as I post, up it goes !

[richgit69] 06/12/2002 00:47

ecb cut rate .5pt

[forwood] 06/12/2002 00:47

good! That'll stimulate demand nicely.

[lift and shift] 06/12/2002 00:46

barc has had two solid attempts @ 426 break it on the third attempt and the next stop should be around the 432 mark...

This would put it back in at the lower end of its previous trading range..

[sagjodler] 06/12/2002 00:39

rich

just gotten out of long at 423.75
for + 6

[richgit69] 06/12/2002 00:38
