Thanks faxxer

FWIW my current favourites are AVV, QTA and UMB

It looks as if what I have predicted for SOF (strip out property and sell back to market at silly price) is now happening to Debenhams. See-

The cheque came from the registrar - computershare. Go to www.computershare.com to check they have your correct address. On the home screen select "check a holding" from "shareholder services". DO NOT enter SOF as code - now invalid - but enter Somerfield on next line. You will need your reference number (a letter - probably C - followed by 10 digits) which you can find on your last dividend tax voucher or other document. This should then come up with your shareholding (still there even though the scheme has gone through)and other details including your address. If this is all correct click on "ask a question" on the home page.

Hope that helps - let us know how you get on.

Surely the question that we should be asking is, when a bid is made (be it 195, 200 or whatever), what would the stock price retreat to if the bid is rejected out of hand by the management? 150 pence IMHO. So if you are an institution and you are offered 200p today or 150p tomorrow with limited growth prospects, I think I would want the opportunity to vote on it.

Presumably, Apax would be unwilling to go hostile. I still have a sneaky suspicion that the board want a deal - not least because it will make them a shed load. I think it is pretty clear that in today's ultra competitive supermarket business, SOF do not have the critical mass to trade themselves upto to an acceptable profitability level. The only way to release the value inherent within their portfolio is a break-up of the group with the stores being sold odd in lumps to various competitors who would otherwise not be able to make acquisitions of who companies for competition reasons.

Article in today's Telegraph suggesting that Apax would lose all credibility if they walked away from this one. They must bid at least 190 as they have bought at that price but no way would sof accept that inferring they would need to be well over 2.

with the retail slowdown, SOF isnt worth as much as it was 6 months ago. The p/e is nearly the same as Tesco's and i dont think anyone would clain that SOF has the same quality of earnings or the same growth path.

With only 1 bidder, that allows APAX to offer any price they like that will be more than the price will drop to if there is no bid. after all - who would like to own SOF shares if there is no offer ?


off topic.

IMHO Tescos have understated potential growth this year as the Far East and Eastern Europe will experience high profit growth as the initial setting up costs and organisation of suppliers rolls into action as volumes reach critical mass and beyond, thereby reducing costs etc etc. same pattern as in the UK, many years behind, but getting there.

Hamster - It seems that the RNS is also saying "we don't want SOF unless someone else does, in which case we reserve the right to bid, also if the SOF board initiate a dodge like a reverse takeover then, again, we reserve the right to bid. But otherwise we're not interested".

So there we are - clear as mud. They're not interested, but they are. Yea but no, but yea but no but yea ............

With just over 3 weeks for either consortium to make an offer for SOF or go away, whats the feeling on this ?

What is a fair price for SOF ? and if no one does make an offer, then can we expect to see the price drop back to the 1.50 level ?

it is a tempting CFD / SB play, or perhaps better as an option play if the price is likely to move more than 20% in either direction (up with bid, down with no bid) regardless of the decision.

thoughts ?

Hi Bigface
I looked in to mention that have called SOF a sell currently. They keep figures for all indices but not graphs. I find the site interesting and their predictions have a better than even success. I don't like the way that they are able to calculate on the prior day's results, but leave it up to the punter to second guess them for the best results. They can also change direction very quickly, nevertheless they have their use for me.
I am out of WBY currently. My CEY are performing well as are COB and I recently took profits in LLOY at 489 and waited for the fall to 469 before re-purchasing my holding. All this time bbullss had them as SELL/WAIT as they are still.

This site is probably more what you are looking for:

I am hoping that I will go to the Southampton Boat show this week to window shop
best regards to you and all

SOF is in a major long term bull market, made up of clean five wave advances and three-wave corrections. Longer term price target is way up at 540p or thereabouts.

From the bear market low in October 2002 at 43p, SOF completed a clean five wave advance to the peak at 174p in March 2004, a total rise of 131p over 17 months. This advance was wave 1 of a larger degree pattern.

Then, SOF entered wave 2 made up of a clean ABC decline to 125p on 1st October 2004. This correction lost 49 points over 5 months or 38% of the previous advance over roughly one-third of the time span of the advance. 38.2% is a classic Elliott style Fibonacci retracement.

Now, SOF is wave 3 of this larger degree pattern, which in itself will be made up of five smaller waves of activity.

We are presently in iv of 1 of 5 of 3 of 5.

In this micro pattern,wave i was the jump from 125p to the intraday 140p spike eight days later, a gain of 15p. Wave ii declined to 130p. Usually, but not always, the third wave in a pattern extends to 1.618 times the first wave, and 1.618 times 15p would give a rise of 24.2p from the 130p wave ii low, or 154.2p for the top of wave iii (of 1 of 5 of 3 of 5).

The price presently sits at 154.75p, which indicates the top of wave iii, with iv and v still to come.

More often than not, wave iv is equal in time to wave ii; wave ii took eight trading days, so wave iv is also likely to take eight trading days. Wave iv started on December 1st, so eight trading days gives a target of Monday December 13th for the end of this wave.

When wave ii is a zig-zag (which it was in this case), wave iv is usually a sideways triangle affair; so we can expect SOF to trade broadly sideways until December 13th to complete wave iv. The price range is likely to be 148p/156p.

When wave iv extends, waves v and i tend to equality in time and price; wave i took nine trading days for a rise of 15p, so we should expect SOF to rise 15p to a price target of 163/171p from December 13th to around December 23rd.

By coincidence or force of nature, there is a key Gann angle line at 165p on December 23rd.

That will complete wave 1 of 3 of 5.

After that, SOF will enter wave 2 of 3 of 5 which will entail a price decline back to the 148/154p area over a period of one month.

Then, on or around January 25th 2005, SOF will enter wave 3 of 3 of 5 which should produce a price gain of a further 63p projecting a price target of 211/215p by mid-May 2005.
