I sold 1/3rd of mine today.

They were comparatively overweight in my portfolio.

[wad collector] 17/6/2011 12:56

Moving into new highs this afternoon , can't find any new rumours, think I will take some profits and hold half.

As it has been at about 92nd place for some time, FTSE100 trackers probably had it in their sights, which may account for recent strength.

FTAS and FTSE350 trackers have no need to change, of course.

[wad collector] 09/6/2011 08:33

FTSE Tracker funds will have to buy it , so it ought to go up. (other things being equal and assuming that the market hasn't pre-empted this by moivng up over the last month or so)

Anyone know what kind of effect on share price entering the FTSE will have?

[deanforester] 07/6/2011 17:12

Just bringing this thread back to the top.

looks like tate might be in the ftse 100 later this month see yesterday rns

[wad collector] 06/6/2011 09:17

Presumably the market is not too excited by the bid rumour , judging by the muted further response.Sell into the rise?Or view as a long term hold for gradual capital gain?




From 2/6/11 Independent
A tasty takeover tale prompted investors to rediscover their appetite for Tate & Lyle last night, helping the food ingredients group to the top of the mid-tier index and its highest share price since 2007.

The company powered up 31p to 651.5p on the back of vague speculation that a number of groups could be mulling over a potential bid worth between 820p and 850p a share.

The commodities group Archer Daniels Midland was one of the names in the frame, the US giant having been linked with a move in similar talk earlier in the year. The sugar trader Bunge was also being discussed as a possible aggressor.

However, market voices played down the mutterings, instead putting Tate's rise down to positive sentiment around the company following the release last week of its full-year figures. The update prompted Deutsche Bank, which described the results as "impressive", to raise its price target yesterday by 60p to 785p and reiterate its "buy" recommendation.

The broker's analysts also welcomed Tate's plans to reopen its sucralose plant in the US as "great news", adding that "this decision alone could drive mid-single-digit profit growth... for years to come".

Yup, you're right.

[stulock] 01/6/2011 12:22

possible takeover

[mathematic] 01/6/2011 12:01

Any reason for the rise?

[wad collector] 26/5/2011 09:11

Sssshhh.Keep the secret.
I am keeping a long term holding here but a smaller one to play with short term.In an upwards moving market it is easy to get left behind (which I have)and currently waiting a smaller drop to get back in.

[jussyman] 19/5/2011 09:18

i always try and leave a few for others only do tate once or twice a week as an extra to ftse trading..like i have said a spike in 1st half hour worth trading for a retrace..good luck ;-)

[grahamite2] 19/5/2011 09:15

Aye you could be right - but I see my last post was about a quick 11 point move, today it's 10 points, so 3 or 4 might be a bit conservative.

[jussyman] 19/5/2011 09:12

graham best to keep to our selves..have been banging on about tate as a good intraday trading share but never get any interest probably cos a 3 or 4 point move aint that interesting to most put £30pp on it and a good one in my book...

[jon827] 19/5/2011 08:46

Lolz offski

GL shorters ;-)

[grahamite2] 19/5/2011 08:43

As exciting as a miner but more predictable.

[jussyman] 19/5/2011 08:41

[jon827] 19/5/2011 08:37

[jussyman] 19/5/2011 08:36
