The riskier the share , the more the postings.No-one gets very excited about TATE.

Would you believe it! 11p to be made in the blink of an eye.

No posts for nearly a fortnight. Surprising considering the volatility.

Now approaching R3 but I'm chary of shorting.

Doing quite nicely in a poor market. New high

Don't forget these touched £8 four years ago .The sales and costs haven't changed that much despite the market turmoil inbetween.They still yield 3.8% at £6 - better than the FTSE100 average.

Investec raises price to 600p from 560p

[wad collector] 30/3/2011 08:40

I didn't - it fluttered back up again!
Seems to be climbing steeply this morning.Can't see why.The only rumours I can find are about the Tate Gallery.

[wad collector] 16/3/2011 16:58

Looks like I might get that chunk back tomorrow.

[badtime] 20/2/2011 16:16

i'll take 640 np

Tate is a tad frothy these days. I have written some covered calls @ 480,520,560,640; will be a struggle to hang on to the shares but also selling puts to offset. I was bullish on Tate since days two years ago when the share price hovered around 240 writing some puts then. It's come a long way since then. I will be happy to let go at 640 and let others collect the extra for take-over premium .

[badtime] 18/2/2011 09:28

Perhaps we can do a deal...

[badtime] 17/2/2011 18:50

i was thinking of adding..lol

[roby37] 15/2/2011 12:45

Well I bailed out at 589. It is always jam tomorrow with tate and years of virtually static dividends. Expect a 750p bid any day now:)

[badtime] 09/2/2011 19:37

[badtime] 02/2/2011 10:20

and back again

[wilb] 02/2/2011 01:23

But I did, a bottle of Malt. Down to the label now, but not helping with my candlesticks! Suspect I saw support at 535, but what do I know! My kidneys say Ftse 100 down 0.8% Wednesday and TATE down 0.6%. My analysis says something different so either way I could be right!

Don't spend all night looking at charts , it will make you go blind. Money , is , after all , for spending , go out and spend some!

At the time of the half year results, we indicated that we were likely to carry higher levels of working capital in the business at 31 March 2011 because of higher corn prices and anticipated tighter corn supply. As anticipated, corn prices have continued to rise as supply forecasts continue to tighten, increasing the working capital demands on the business. The majority of the corn we are purchasing to keep our silos full through to the end of the harvest year has been paid for in January. As a result, and based on current corn prices and exchange rates1, we currently anticipate that this will drive a net cash outflow in the final quarter of the financial year and that net debt will revert to levels similar to those reported at 30 September 2010.


I think that is the unpopular bit of todays interim statement. 520p and I'll buy back the chunk I sold for 579 last month, if we get there.
