as expected - bye bye 22. But this unexpected price increase in the market will drive the share price beyond 24 now

Just saw this - this will drive the share price in SKG this week!!

Interesting to see that there is not much appetite for a retreat after the large gains on Friday.. This usually points towards further increases in SP

Last week was a newly announced kraftliner increase. It would be superb if this could be followed by industry testliner increases

Thanks Moorsie.


Smurfit Kappa has won a Swiss Packaging Award for its innovative ‘Universal Box’ packaging for industrial pumps.
Smurfit Kappa came out top in the construction category in the prestigious awards which celebrate excellence and innovation in packaging.

The Universal Box protects pumps with a variety of functions connected with drinking water, heating, ventilation and sewage removal.

This clever packaging, which is the brainchild of Smurfit Kappa designer Heinz Störi, was made for BIRAL AG, part of the Grundfos Group which is a world leader in pump manufacturing.

Unlike many other types of industrial packaging, which depend on foam inserts to protect the contents, the Universal Box is made entirely from corrugated cardboard making it 100% recyclable and therefore much more sustainable. Comprised of only three parts, it is also much more flexible and cost-effective.

Star of the portfolio today by a mile.

Good weekend everyone.

Too good a hike in difficult times. Sold.
I will be back if we have a dip in the markets over the summer.

[soundbuy] 09/6/2017 16:53

The same as the one earmarked for 1st May?

Delayed reaction then......

[moorsie2] 09/6/2017 16:45

News of a new kraftliner increase of 50euros a ton

That is the thing that moved the dial

[soundbuy] 09/6/2017 16:13

No news I can see of, don't reckon fx moves worthy of 5% do hey ho......

[soundbuy] 09/6/2017 15:45

On a day like today eh.......none too shabby

[philanderer] 09/6/2017 14:42

A very good day, now just hold on this time :-)

[moorsie2] 08/6/2017 20:39

We are getting there! :)

[philanderer] 08/6/2017 13:22

And failed again today in style. ;-)

[philanderer] 07/6/2017 21:12

Still finding it difficult to break and hold above 2200p.

[moorsie2] 05/6/2017 14:00

Treading water today as the market is not open today in Ireland.

Would be very surprised if we do not breach 23 and stay above it in this week and latest next week. The momentum is there

[soundbuy] 02/6/2017 12:40

Looking good for rise to £23........

[moorsie2] 02/6/2017 10:50

patience... its only a psychological ceiling that is probably triggering some close out sells etc. It will clear and once it eventually does it will bounce on quickly to 23+

[philanderer] 02/6/2017 08:29

Seems to be that ceiling at 2200p for the umpteenth time.
