UNIQ is a good recovery play if you want edibles in your portfolio

Gary1966: You could be right BUT I stand by my comments at 2146.

Why take the risk? If food is your sector DCG looks a better investment to me although I have not bought back in.

Wendsworth,

Surely a large part of the Tate play is reducing debt levels which is going very well. Oil price recovery will kick start the ethanol side of things as well. Trading at pretty much same level as last year and so earnings of 40p and dividend at 22.6p looks well covered. Earnings per share may be slightly higher due to lower tax charge.

Will concede that Tate is having a bad day today though.

mitzis: If you're in profit I should take it. There are far better recovery plays than TATE . Also the profit warnings are a REAL concern.

I'm still long on LLOY ( whilst trading the stock up) and have recently bought back in to National Grid whose results are due out next month and where a 23p dividend IS NAILED ON! Good luck.

Good start to the day despite yesterdays general fall Tate seems to be rising against the Market.

Kulvinder- if you use the Financials link at the top of the page it shows all dividends ex-pay and payment dates. Next div will be July for period to end of March 09.

regards

Guys does anyone know what divi this is paying and when is/was the ex-divi date ? I know I have missed the recent rally in this stock, but maybe longer term this will recover to it's highs of £4.50 plus. Thanks in advance.

aspers: Thanks. This is an excellent BB with GENUINE posters...hence my comments when I deal. Have noted some of your current investments. In view of the past 18 months I have been cautious since January 2009 and traded only TATE, LLOY, DCG and WG all of which in total have yielded a five figure 'profit'. The italics are because I've a considerable way to go to restore my March 2007 trading position.

harvester ; Again thanks. I'm no expert...but was 'uncomfortable' with holding TATE. My only hold at present is LLOY which I have traded up from 49.3p...where I'm in for the open offer and 'long haul'. I still consider DCG a better prospect in the food sector and will buy back in on 'a dip'.

wormcatcher : Apart from the less than positive Trading Update my nervouseness with TATE also stemmed from your previous informed postings ref the US legal action . Again many thanks to you also.

[mitzis] 07/4/2009 08:33

Well done those who took a profit nothing wrong in that.

[wormcatcher] 07/4/2009 08:26

So the result is in - haven't read the RNS yet will do that now, but link below to the full ITC report.

[aspers] 06/4/2009 21:18

As they say...let the trend be your friend.......the trend here for the last week has been up....will not sell till that changes!!!

[aspers] 06/4/2009 21:15

Wend....little point in jumping in and out of this....I am in for the longer ride over 6 months.........along with my recovery stocks YELL up 100% in 5 days!! RAY also a nice rise, TW. up 50% in 4 days, SGRO looking good for fast rise and JPS about to go into obit........for the past 3 years have made big losses, from the start of the year I am well in profit.....good luck when you get back in.

[harvester] 06/4/2009 17:18

I decided today to back Tate cautiously today by selling jun 240 put option for 6.25 premium.
Not yet confident enough to deal closer to the current action.

Well done,wendsw.

[wendsworth] 06/4/2009 15:46

mitzis : Have sold to day both TATE and DCG. Set 300p limits for BOTH and made BOTH reached this level this morning! Unbelievable.

Both stocks had a 'good run' last week. Have learnt the 'hard way ' not to be too greedy.

wormcatcher : Noted.
Looking at the two ...wasn't particularly enammered by TATe's update and prefer DCG ...where I believe the dividend will be maintained.

[wormcatcher] 06/4/2009 09:13

Well there's the £3 - well done to all that got in at the lows.
Still not in and will now stay out for the time being.
Nothing about the sucralose patent decision on ITC site due last Friday btw.

[mitzis] 03/4/2009 13:19

Tempus says hold for yield..

[harvester] 02/4/2009 12:06

Good move up for Tate holders.
Looks like I got my timing right on recent option deal (near bottom @220) but I won't gain further from up-move apart from gaining the premium. Maybe should have bought some calls as well as selling puts. Hindsight .

Market rally benefiting most bombed-out stock.

[aspers] 02/4/2009 10:25

Wend....good to have you back aboard....looking good for 300p plus now.
